I don't mind the band so much but why does every cheerleader have to be personally introduced before the game starts?  Furthermore more than half of each squad is an All-American. How is that even possible?


way back when, during my hs days, my hs had a ‘famous’ drill team. Hell, mtv offered them a reality show, but the school board shot it down. Back to the ‘famous’ part, they’d fly all over the us to compete and won every time. Their director made sure to find competitions where they were the only team in their class. Instant ‘world champs’ !

Nobody, and I mean Nobody, is at a fucking football game for the band. I dont give a shit if its 3 minutes. I would rather shit in a public toilet than waste two seconds watching that shit. It's like title 9, shoving band nerds and their feelings into the football because "we need everyone to feel nice".

Especially if you are an Aggie who won't TOLERATE TAUNTING TURDITIONS!!  But you have to admit that going to a Rice football game pales in comparison to seeing the Marching Owl Band (MOB), a band that doesn't even march but NEVER fails to bring the LOL. My brother in law played in the MOB while getting his undergrad degree in bio-chemistry and joined the alumni band when the Owls got their first bowl bid in 55 years in 2006. He said that other than his retirement as CEO of St. Luke's hospital that this was one of his life's best highlights.

Why hasn't Elko taken over head coaching duties?  I get the old assistants finishing out their contracts, but letting Robinson stick around and poach the roster seems stupid when Elko is sitting around getting fatter.

Fucking up hires and transitions is an aggy tradition.

Because bands and drill teams have their own UIL competitions to worry about. They don't win those competitions marching in straight lines.

Wether you olds like it or not, Friday night is no longer only about the football team.

It's for the larger school community, which includes band and drill team.

 

how is this new?  this is not new

it was like this in the early 80s

band state started in 80

Plus they don’t know the players, playbook, terminology or strengths and weaknesses. Basically, they don’t know shit. 

None of that matters based on the history of ATM athletics-it's the TURDITIONS like sawing varsity's horns off while homo erotically embracing your male ice cream man cheerleaders and squeezing your bb size testicles for old army. Besides, when this is your greatest strength, it has been the only strength they can look back on with their misplaced pride.

wednesday 7/21/2021 - bjork finds out about our SEC move, calls Sharpe who calls Zwerneman who summons Bjork for a spontaneous presser outside of the scheduled coaches' media time; Bjork sounds like a homeless wounded dog when he grovels: "We want to be the only SEC team from the state of Texas.  There’s a reason why Texas A&M left the Big 12 — to be stand alone, to have our own identity, and that’s our feeling.”

7/21-7/24 2021 - for the next 45 hours, aggy goes berserk online in a cornholio rage unmeasurable with current technology

saturday 7/24/2021 - at approximately 1045am Sankey calls Sharpe and tells him to sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up, bend over, and forget the lube, OR ELSE

saturday 7/24/2021 - within 15 minutes, Looch pivots 180 degrees and the ministry fights a holding action through the weekend erasing texags history at a level never seen before or since

sunday 7/25/2021 - Sharpe consults his cabinet of boosters and talkiebirds; aggy pivot almost complete, call to zwerneman delivers new talking points

monday 7/26/2021 - zwerneman article: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/college/article/SEC-expansion-breathes-new-life-into-UT-A-M-16341517.php

also what should be in the timeline is when aggy decided they were getting the first game at home and how their actions prevented the playoff expansion which kept out fsu and how refusing to play us led to us winning in tuscaloosa which put us in the playoff

My kids graduating class was 1000+ kids. Surprising, but not really, how many extra-curricular activities HS's have.  There is something for everybody.

I was a photographer for my sons HS team. Only FB parents had field access, pissed off a bunch of parents. I took lotsa pictures of everything, posted them for free, pissed off a bunch for-profit photographers, made me very popular with the parents, and coaches, and cheer leaders.  Nothing nefarious, the access area on the sidelines was limited (wink).

It's amazing how many kids get on the field through out a "football game."  Players, trainers, equipment handlers, cheer leaders, dance team, band, choir, flag bearers, weekly honorees, etc.

It’s frigging torture seeing/hearing the SAME THREE SONGS/performances EVERY FRIGGING WEEK! (And don’t get me started on the cheerleaders who don’t actually do any cheers related to the actual football game…)

Who woulda thunk that "Crazy Train" would be the 2nd most popular song in America, after the Star Bangled Banner? It is (used to be?) played by every HS at every game. Listening to Crazy Train w/o Randy Rhodes' guitar intro is criminal!!! (I did get to hear it every day when my son got home.)

It may not be your thing but it's important to the kids in the band and they are students at the school, enjoying their high school years.

These kids are committed to their craft as much as any HS kid is committed to anything. Good kids from good families...

I was a Boy Scout Assistant Scoutmaster, and 4 out of 7 of my patrol are Eagle Scouts. A very small group of kids, but the cream of the crop.  All things being equal, that will always be the differentiator.

The usual amount of Texags butthurt and inaccuracies, but also a surprising number of realists. 

*except the people of Qatar

The thread was a good read w/ a few good links. "If Texas is #1, we have to be #2, right?" Like the waves of the ocean, it never ends.

It's not close. Texas has way more ultra high net alumni.

I have never been to a HS football post high school in my life. 

Your loss.

I took my pre-teen boys to see the ' 99 HS Playoffs in the Astrodome, Katy v. Houston Madison. Katy beat 'em up, but got to see a lanky Soph with a lot of promise.  Went back in '00, same teams, same result. In '01, same teams; I'd asked my brother to drive over from Austin to see this one kid play. Taking my brother and kids to see Vince Young play in High School are some of my fondest memories of my kids growing up.  Saw some other phenomenal players in HS; Fozzy Whitaker, Trevor Gerland, Roderick Wright, Russell Shepard, Sam McGuffie.

The next poster who mentions any type of band has an underdeveloped wiener.

The first Band I saw was Led Zeppelin in 1969, ~ a month after Woodstock. My first out of town band was Santana at Hemisfair Arena in '70, as a 13 year old, including my "First Feast", total immersion into hanging out with Hippies and everything that went with it.  I have a ton of band stories.

 But you have to admit that going to a Rice football game pales in comparison to seeing the Marching Owl Band (MOB), a band that doesn't even march but NEVER fails to bring the LOL. 

The MOB satire of the UT Tower and the suicides in the 70's was ... memorable.

They made an outline of the tower, and had a few kids run down the sides of it 

Nothing was woke in the 70's ...

You mean the Duke University that is currently ranked the 7th best university in the US? Is that your definition of embarrassment? 

Yes, it's a disgusting, phony institution from medical center to humanities to athletics. Take one look at their ersatz-ass campus where they felt they needed to sand down their marble staircases to pass for a serious university

I'm jealous you got to see Led Zeppelin in 1969.  

I'm consistently of the opinion that no topic is off limits when it comes to humor or satire.  Nothing.  But you gotta be clever or funny about it.  You can't just crack wise for shock value, that's just laziness.  But I wouldn't say "nothing was woke in the 1970's" because Rice got to satirize the tower suicides.  It just wasn't that clever, and the MOB is usually very clever.  People, particularly Aggies, like to bitch and moan about how their crude humor isn't being more celebrated because our culture is too "woke."  That's not it, it's that most people who think they're funny...aren't.  The comics or shows or whatever that cry "cancel culture!" tried something risky, and didn't execute on the funny part.  The first ingredient in "wokeness" is realizing most people really aren't funny.  At all.  this is how you explain Carrot Top, Larry the Cable Guy, and the redneck dude with the puppets.  Louis C.K. wasn't 'canceled' because of his material.  Because his material is smart and funny as fuck.  He was fired from some shit and had some shows cancelled because he was jerking off in front of women without their consent.  Big difference.  

Anyway, not to berate you or the point.  Just reminds me that Aggies yet another annoying group of people who cry "WOKE!" because so few people laugh at their 'jokes.'  They're just fucking morons with the comedic timing of Gallagher.
