You know what? You're right. Tradition sucks we should change our uniforms too, I mean who likes looking at those some uniforms all the time. I mean they were cool the first time though.

that's different, the uniforms serve a purpose i.e. to differentiate between the two teams playing on the field, so in other words it is a CRITICAL FOOTBALL FUNCTION

the band showing up and blasting their obscure music is not a CRITICAL FOOTBALL FUNCTION

I will agree partially here.

Playing Lady Gaga at halftime is obscure IMO

Playing Living on a Prayer during a timeout, but when they have to quit playing when play resumes the whole student section is still singing the words.

im pretty sure they stop living on a prayer early on purpose now cause the whole band sings it too. of course, why even play it then? they dont even play it during "tense moments" when anyone is living on any kind of prayer

Tense moments? You mean the 4th quarter right? Bc that's when they usually play it.

The fact that you have not died in a fire yet questions the existence of God.

Maybe if you wouldn't leave in the 3rd quarter for once.

Please do the following in this order:

1. Sit down in a cross-legged position.

2. Pour Gasoline all over yourself, from the head on down.

3. Light a match, and put the lit match in/on your crotch.

P.S...WTF? Are you from San Francisco, or muslim, or something else that is non-American??!

OK, there are many "pure blooded cajuns" on this board, but you seem to be one of the ones that make the rest of us tell cajun jokes about....sorry to break it to you, but with your opinion on bands, you are a walking, talking "Boudreaux" joke......

I have a feeling this must be your interpretation of every member of the band:

Why bring mike the tiger to the stadium, or even have a mascot at all? Why have golden girls? Why have cheerleaders? Why care about tradition? Why don't we start wearing green purple and gold and change our team name to the Mardi GRAS kings and have clowns run around the field at halftime?

be more modern and not be stuck in tradition

One problem in this country is that we give too much credence to what young people think in an attempt to get money from young, impressionable, naive children.

With age comes wisdom, and an appreciation for quality and tradition.

With any luck, we won't have to suffer the problem of you getting old.

Oh and post less.

You did have one good point. "A lot of people will disagree with me."

Try watching the halftime show. It may surprise you.
