think about it the band was made for back in the day before you had big speakers and good music so that the people would have something to listen to at the game between plays okay i get that but today we have the ability to play music that people actually want to hear on speakers and every time they do that the band has to go and play and then they have to take it off

for one i didn't ask the band to be there and they could just as easily play first down second down third down ont he speakers too i mean shite it's the same song every time not that hard

and so ppl are going to say "their here for the pregame salute too" well I say fine bring them out like the flag squad for a pregame show but then let them march back to their band house not give them free seats in tiger stadium for doing what playing their horns to themselves? no thanks

and noone watches the halftime show we could just have actual bands like real football games or even a magician or something, something ppl would actually see

i kno a lot of ppl will disagree with me but this is jus something that i don't get in my first year experiencing college football and i wish LSU would take a step to be more modern and not be stuck in tradition i mean shite we don't walk around in military uniforms anymore like LSU used to be why do the band need to still get so many priveledges they dont even play the songs we want cause theyre too pussy to hear our chants

anyawy go LSU and hats off to the players in the stadium that actually matter (the football ones)

Dude, it's called tradition. It's part of teh college football experience. It's also part of what makes CFB so great.



If those three magical notes the band plays doesn't make the hair on your arms rise, you're not an LSU fan. SOrry.

It seems clear that you are not an alumnus.

I wish we could find a magician that could magically dislodge that purple and gold dildeaux that's stuck up your azzhole.

I,m with you on this. I say we get the best sound system money can buy and add some lasers and light effects like halftime as this year's super bowl. Let's really get the house rockin. We can easily play all the pre recorded band tunes over the system that would sound 100 times better than the actual band

Most of the songs our band plays originated during or just before the '58 season....it's called tradition. If you can't see that, then you're a lost cause.

I agree that we should just let technology do everything. That is why I don't even go to the games or watch them on TV anymore. I just buy the new NCAA football for my XBOX every year. Then I set the computer to simulate the game while I watch it on a Saturday afternoon.

Today, we have the technology to allow idiots like you to spew their thoughts that should be kept to yourself.

The band...it's called TRADITION...something you are not capable of understanding.

Now, go back and practice your spelling.

I didn't read all that. I love TGBFTL. I get pissed when they're leaving the stands to set up for halftime and they don't play when they normally would.

What makes you think even half the stadium crowd enjoys the same music you enjoy?
Here's a clue grasshopper - most of your generation's music sucks compared to my old fart generation's music.

Why listen to the band?
Here's another clue grasshopper - LSU music as played by the LSU band ties us all together as Tigers. Random shite played by a random group, popular for a few weeks won't tie anyone together.

I suggest if you don't like the band, put in your earbuds, crank up the decibels on your iPod to the max setting, and lose your hearing fast. Then you won't hear the band and true Tiger fans won't see drivel posts like this.

Or go to a loser school, not LSU.
