Think they would snub Texas A&M? Not a chance.

I understand we have a great band, but how many times has LSU allowed something like this. From my memory its not super often besides teams like Grambling and Southern. Devil's advocate here: If I am old miss, i would not want my rival to perform at halftime on my field.


Only a few schools will bring their full band to Tiger Stadium, but any time a school does, LSU has let them also march at halftime. Auburn, State. Ole Miss. A&M and Southern Miss have all marched in TS.

No one ever marches when they just being a pep band.

TGBFTL has traditionally made one regular season full band trip and then the bowl or postseason.

Boohoo. If you told me they weren't allowing us to send the band, fine, but are you all seriously whining about a visiting team not getting to take the field and perform? God, it is embarrassing how entitled some of you are.


Idiot. It has nothing to do with “entitlement.” This is not common practice among SEC schools. Their band department’s statement bears that out. It’s clear they wound allow TGBFTL to march if it were their choice.

Could Ole Miss deny LSU the right to wear its traditional white uniforms for that game?


Yes. It’s the home team’s call on uniforms now.

Their band is the only part of the "Cult of Texan Phaggotry" that I like.

Cult of Texan Phaggotry... wasn't that a song by Living Colour?

It seems like Auburn's band goes on more than one road trip each season.

They do. They always go to Tuscaloosa when they play Bama there. They also usually go to either UGA or Tennessee, They almost always bring their full band to LSU too, although they didn't the last time they came to BR. I believe they take 3 full band trips each season, not including post-season play.

Well, they need to cancel this one at Massa Wife.

Bring the smaller Pep GBFTL.

Holoweiko needs to be fired if they waste this trip by bringing the Full Band and just sit there like Cypress Knees. Unacceptable.

Tell LSU Admins that we're not bringing the Full Band if we can't perform at Half-Time.

It makes no sense and would be a complete waste of Time and Money!

Let’s just put an arse whipping on the Ole Miss football team and I’ll be happy!

I think that they march to that same exact "Yogi-Bear-is-smarter-than-the-average-bear" song each and every game, and year. Should have the marching routine to that song absolutely perfect after all of those performances of it by now...

I'm guessing that you haven't been to any LSU home games recently. The band can't be bothered to play almost any song at this point if there is a stoppage of play. Back in the old days, they played a countless number of songs during commercial breaks, etc. Now it is all piped in rap music.

They are literally told when they can and can't play now. It's not up to them anymore. LSU admins run the show.

Exactly. And find other ways to be punitive.

It's not like Ole Miss performs whenever we play in BR anyway. I can't remember a single game in recent history where either LSU or Ole Miss performed on each other's field.
