I am not an SEC football fan by any means but LSU is winning despite that.

Just not against Florida. #Gatorbait

WHAT?! The Badger band is the best band in the land.

What is the band that makes all the cool shapes on the field? Is that Ohio? They are pretty dope on youtube.

(as the resident young person...do young people still use the word dope??)

I am surprised by that. Maybe Michigan said no or something?

 

[garneska]

I am not an Ohio State fan but i have to respect the performance of their band.

It's just because Sweet Baby College Football Jesus loves all of us and wants us to be happy.

don't be taking Tua's name in vain.

Ummmm.....no.

TBDBITL is THE Ohio State University.

Granted, I hate the whole “THE” thing and I’m not super thrilled with the football coach but the band? Cmon. Hands down, they are the best.

Fun fact: my high school marching band was a “feeder” band for OSU. We were all brass and sent tons of our drum majors there. That was until 3 or 4 years ago when they decided to do this weird new age style stuff on the field.

I have two modes with podcast listening while running.
A) I pay close attention to what they are saying and am entertained.
B) It becomes background white noise and my mind wanders and 10 min later I realize I'm listening to a podcast and have no idea what they were talking about.

Yep. This is why I can't listen to audiobooks ever. My mind is too much of a wanderer.

Stanford is one of my favorite bands based on entertainment factor although I don't think they're technically a marching band. I'll never forget when they played the farmers only jingle for a game against Iowa.

A good friend of mine was in the marching band in college and he had some stories about being at the same hotel as Stanford at the NCAA tournament. Apparently the band uses "band time" to blow off steam from the stress, but at the same time they have crossed the line from humor into poor taste way too many times.

 

[Slogger]

Me too @roxymama on the not always paying attention to the podcast.

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Wow, logged in and saw the recent posts and felt the need to throw in a Roll Tide!!!

Roll Tide!!!

 

[FFigawi]

There is no "The." They're just "that school down south."

I feel like I should start watching college football, but don’t have a team to root for. My college was tiny and I don’t even know if there was a football team.

ETA: I just looked and they do have one. The Assumption Greyhounds.

Cue everyone talking about why their team is the best

LOL! I live near UCF and there’s a lot of love for them around here, but I’m thinking they aren’t on the same level as some of these teams.

because we are alabama.
