We should have absolutely no respect for the people making decisions for the Tiger Band that cave in so easily. That most of our gameday musical tradition is built off of Tiger Rag, and yet we never play it anymore because decision makers idiotically caved, is a shame.


while I agree with your notion that we should not respect the ones calling the shots for the band (i.e. Roy King) "back in the day" when the Ole Miss chants and the 'racist Rice chant' were prevalent, there weren't TV mics and cameras everywhere...so the lyrics of those chants couldn't blow back on the university on a national scale. now that everything is mic'd up...those chants can come back on the school, which is what the higher-ups for the band are considering.

people miss the craziness of tiger stadium... i can tell you STTDB is about all thats left of that legacy. i loved the taunting of florida with the chomp and "it sucks to be a florida gator" probably the most fun ive had in the student section since they banned neck after 2011
