No Beatles song either. Thumbs up for the new music.


Ha..yeah, no "Eleanor Rigby"...possibly the most depressing Beatles song of all time.

That arrangement Tiger Band played this season.. and in 2008 is epic, though.

Actually, the fans do care about the band, that's why they notice when things aren't as they should be.

Band is ok. Administration who limits the songs is crappy. Big difference.

starting the postgame team alma mater without Les there to sing like he loves to do. The players had wtf looks on their face and were waving for the band to cut it off and wait for Coach.


This...I got a big kick out of some players coming over to where CBS was interviewing Les and Mett post-game and interrupting the interview..."Cmon man, we doing the Alma Mater!"

Made me proud, their priorities were straight...

Needs more razzle dazzle. Every show formation looks the same now. Make more interesting patterns. Make another mother f'ing tank with moving treads and firing guns on the field. If the band's lines are bad, or they can't get the formation down, lay down the freaking law. Make them do it a hundred times or *gasp* replace the people that suck.

I'm not a band expert but the halftime show marching design Saturday seemed poorly designed - especially for the first song they played. It looked sloppy.

Who designs the marching routines?

Bring back Linda! Is she from Illinois or have connection to the school she is at?

The band has been going downhill since Dr. Rouse left.

I noticed that too. They have been starting it earlier this year. There was another game when he had to stand in the back, not up front where he normally does because they didn't wait until he finished his interview. It is not as though that takes very long. They can wait.

Band needs to go back to basics.

I suggest West Side Story.

easy fix we rent the band from grambling or southern for a few games. show the crowd what they are missing and get people ready to be entertained again. I can remember when the golden band from tiger land was top notch. Back then the team had some bumps in the road but the band was always top shelf. If i had to choose though i would rather good team and bad band then the reverse.

I have been thinking this for several years now. To afraid to say anything because of the love for the band by most. The half time shows are snooze-fests with music that sucks. That's when you can hear them. Always hoping that Southern's band will show up for a surprise half time "Show".

She needs to blow that thing like a crackhead on payday.

Tiger Band is straight up weak. Wickes used to demand power in the stands.
