I was impressed when their band performed at halftime at a LSU game in the 90s. There is a level of respect.

Think of the Aggie band like a real good drag performer. They are so good you are almost fooled in thinking you are a seeing a woman.

They are also a military based unit. LSU was once a military based school also in the beginning so there is a respect there

This is the answer.

I’ve always enjoyed their band. If TGBFTL enjoys it, then so should we.

There was also mutual respect between the bands. The home band would bring refreshments to them in the third quarter. The band service fraternity would do it. I don’t know is any of that goes on today. People are a lot less respectful these days. It’s been 40 years

The amount of self centeredness among the youth of today is staggering.

Appreciated for what? Being a rude, boorish guest? Appreciated? Are you saying we should thank them for their service playing dress up in the Aggie band? @40% of Corps of Cadets join an ROTC program or try to pursue the military. Good for them, but the rest don’t and are acting.

Go to Bryan, Texas if you want to blow Aggies, not here. I guarantee there are 1000’s of Aggie “soldiers” that would welcome that.

I dont know but it was very satisfying participating in booing those idiots.

I had the unfortunate luck of having to sit next to a smug aggie and his lady. They were chirping before the game. In the "opening ceremonies" they were laughing and hooping ad hollering while sitting down because when everyone stood up they realized what it was and then sat down.

Then when the DJ played that rap remix of that "we ready" song. They were laughing and shaking their heads and chirping everyone.

Dude got to cheer like 3 times. Then spent the rest of the game leaning forward resting his chin on his hands. Me and my wife told them to enjoy that long ride home when they got up and left in the 3rd. They didnt say a word back hahahahaha. They were dressed ridiculous too

So we don't have to see another rendition of old, out of date show tunes with people marching around and swishing pieces of cloth on a pvc pipe! And the idea of precision marching, as demonstrated by TGBFTL decades ago and the current Aggie band, is evidently not taught by LSU Band Music Dept as those lines sag like prison pants.

For 20 years or so LSU and A&M played in Baton Rouge every year. The Aggie band always marched at halftime.

I went to the LSU game last night.

I went to the Saints game today.

Two totally different experiences. Today's experience reminded me why I enjoy the experience 1000x more on Saturdays.

I enjoyed watching the band play as well as the people around me.

Every time they visit, they perform their stupid march on our field at halftime and play Yankee Doodle. No issue with the occasional visiting band performance but why the aggies every time? I hate them.


Probably because it’s easy (cheaper) for them to bring the here compared to every other conference team besides UT and maybe OU.

Definitely weird they brought the band back to back years but it’s also a weird schedule this year.

I’m stunned this post has more downvotes than upvotes. frick A&M’s dumbass Yankee Doodle that they play every year. It’s about as complex as a middle school performance and should not require them traveling with as many people and running over the time. Get that shite out of Tiger Stadium

I love the Aggie band and their march...wish our fans would not have booed


Personally, I could not care less about any band performing at halftime...including LSU's. I think, for the most part, they are all equally as boring. That said, the people in the bands (for all teams) put in a lot of work/practice. If traveling to a road game and playing at halftime is a great incentive/experience for the band members, then they should be allowed to perform and I think it is BS for loser fans to boo the band.

In our section there was one loser (jersey wearer, of course) who was booing incessantly while the A&M band played. The guy next to me, who was otherwise a pretty reserved guy, finally had enough and stood up and yelled at the jersey wearer to shut the hell up and show some respect. Surprisingly, most of the other LSU fans agreed and started clapping for the A&M band to drown that idiot out.

Booing the opposing players? They don't care. They expect it and often thrive on it. Plus, they are paid "pros" at this point. But booing the band members who are just students and not paid pros...you're a loser
