No TSUN band for Bama Game (WOW)

  • I was listening to the XM radio channel 92 , the show with Eddie George and they were giving TSUN the business because they are not taking their band to the Bama game because they said they couldn't afford the $400K it would cost to take them to Texas. That is pretty much bullshit. How is a team that sells out every game going to say they can't afford $400K to take them to their biggest OOC game in years.

    But its Meechigan so it makes sense.

  • Not a defender of TSUN but Bands usually only attend one away game, if that. That includes TBDBITL.

    Wow..... you don't remember the OSU band not making the trip to USC in '08 for the exact same reason??

  • They couldn't find an airline to book them. Pilots refused to fly on return trip & have to listen to hysterical wailing!

    While it's true TBDBITL didn't travel to Cali we did have someone step up and foot the bill for the band to go to Texas in '06. I'm sure a game of this magnitude there's an alum that could step up to the plate I doubt they will though.

  • Band will not make a difference in this game, Alabama curb stomps Michigan.
    Maybe the band playing taps late in the 4th quarter for UofM would be appropriate.

  • They probably realize the band could play pre-game, but by the second quarter when they're down 24-0, the band wouldn't have much reason to play.

  • The band comment in simply not accurate. OSU took their band to Texas and USC for the big OOC games and at Michigan in at least one of those years.

  • scum has become miserly. they stoppedmpaying for police at home games. as a result it took 3 hrs post game to get home to toledo from AA. they are also doing texas a favor by not bringing that group of corn and blue dandys to the game. missing their frentic way of taking the field, flag girls with asses big enough to be sign boards and the rest of theier motley crew will not be missed. what stadium has to amplifythe band in the stand, oh yes scums. they are the millie vanilli of college bands.

  • As much as I hate scUM, I'd say that they need to find a way to get that band to Dallas. Their band is really good and their music brings a lot of energy and passion to their games. I know when I watch us play them, the fight songs and other music both bands play get more even more amped up. "Lets go blue" is a class... even if you hate them which we all do, its still something you like to hear as one of the sounds of the rivalry. It's another recruiting tool also. Kids want that electric atmosphere and good band adding to it during games. As a player, I always got more into games when I heard the band blasting one of my favorite selections. It just adds to the pageantry of college football. Some of scUM's music is nice too. I use "Temptation" as my 3rd down stop music for NCAA Football on ps3 lol... idc I like bands! buckeyes

  • How does LSU find a way to go to EVERY away game?

    There band is always there.

    We did have Alumni Association members gather band equipment to be in a section at UDub in Seattle. It was a pretty good substitute.

    That's what ann arbor should do.

  • I think it is just because _ichigan will get their arse handed to them DURING the game. They don't want to be beat like a drum at halftime as well.

    You must be kidding. They are a borderline pathetic band, certainly not in the class of TBDBITL. There is no sense in embarrassing yourself 3 times on the same day...once on the field, and twice with amateurish musical performances.

    As for their cheers, etc., they are second rate, too...and their colors are nauseating.

    Go Bucks!
