re: For Florida Week: Don't mess with the band!

I felt bad when I did it but like I said I had no choice at the time, I returned it and explained to the guy my story he laughed and let the girls we were with take pictures with it on. Its not like I wanted to go out of my way and risk getting kicked out of the game for stealing his hat, I'm not that big of a douche.

I love it when people think they can mess with TGBFTL and that it's just a bunch of pansy band nerds. It usually ends with people on their asses with bruises to show for it. I know we mowed some opposing fans down while I was in. Breaking ranks was NOT TOLERATED, and if you tried it around the Tubas or Drumline (where I was), the payback was even worse. I'll personally never forget the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in 1996. Clemson's costume mascot (which is the most ridiculous looking Tiger mascot I've ever seen, btw) was jumping around and tauting us while we were marching through a GA Dome tunnel to the stands to the cadences. We were stopped, and he started creeping into the snare rank on the opposite side from me. The snare on the far end of the line, who was actually a pretty quiet and mild mannered guy, warned him twice to back off. When the mascot didn't, the snare player took him and body slammed him without taking off his drum or putting down his sticks. Then he just went back to playing. It was amazing. We were all yelling and laughing so hard we could hardly play. Every LSU fan around went insane. It was so awesome. Clemson's mascot tried to get up and act like it didn't bother him, but there's no living that down. Every fan in sight was letting him have it, so he wised up and took off. I just wished it had happened where the cameras could see it.

The best I ever saw was at the end of half time of the 03 SEC Champ game in the GA dome. UGA punter came out and stated warming up and punting thru the GBFTL as they came off the field. Linda Morehouse ran up behind him then jerked the kid off his feet and spun him around in one swift motion. Then she unleashed a hell storm of a verbal lashing on the kid. When she finished with him he meekly walked off the field.

Saw that at the SECCG in 03. In the upper deck we chanted "a-hole" at him. Beautiful moment.

The Damon Duvall incident was also pretty legendary.
