For today, we remind you that carrying a farting, 30 pound piece of metal around a field while wearing a dorky wool/poly blend uniform does have its benefits.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

I knew somebody who faked his way onto the USC marching band without being able to play his instrument at all. His future wife was both a very good musician and hot, so I’m guessing she got it done somehow.

South Bend — Still conveniently located halfway between Gary and Elkhart.

“at least I can walk 200 yards from campus without encountering a junkyard protected by razor wire,”
Yeah, but 300 yards is a different story…
(Unless the neighborhood south of ND’s campus has come up dramatically in the past decade, I’m not sure you have much ground to talk trash here… that said, I’ve never seen so many door-to-door stereo and blue jeans salesmen in my life… and working on the weekends, too!)

#111,
That you are. And no matter what you and your fellow Trojans may say about the Indiana cornfield where I go to school, at least I can walk 200 yards from campus without encountering a junkyard protected by razor wire, in addition to all the other delightful treasures of urban life associated with such a place. Also, you gonna be in the band coming to South Bend on the 20th?

#85 — brass playing band chicks also have powerful chops and excellent lung capacity, or at least so I’ve been told.
DevilGrad is right, few fans are more loyal, rowdy, or committed to their team than current and former members of the marching band.
Plus, they are generally the ones who pull off the best pranks against their rivals, like when the SMU Mustang Band planted winter rye in the shape of its trademark Diamond M during a half time performance at TCU, a plan which didn’t “sprout” until months later: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3842/3484/1600/smugrass.jpg

well, you COULD start dealing cocaine.

One question, though. If they are the so-called “Best Damn Band in the Land,” how come they’re only the fourth-best band in the Big Ten?

#101 - Earlier you said….
“you must have been one of the uncoordinated, marshmallow soft band geeks that I speak of.”
followed by….
“I bet you don’t have your green card”
Are you suggesting that I illegally marched in the band? Truth be told, they don’t check for green cards. I suppose that could be a security risk considering all the skull dragging going on. So tell me, Last Dragon, do you have a poster of Jean-Claude Van Damme on your wall?

I dunno…band chicks have been treating me just fine. And the added perk of getting to know the amazingly gorgeous song girls really well sure as hell doesn’t hurt. Or playing with Earth Wind and Fire. Or seeing 4th and 9 live. Or not remembering the entire first half of 66-19 because i was so trashed from the night before.
All yall who rip on the band are missing out. You tell me another way a 5′ 5″ nerd like me gets to hang out with SI supermodels and song girls.

100 cocktails to you, Rob, for mentioning those evil black dots.
Carnival of Venice was a more difficult challenge than anything I saw over a very long football career. I would have preferred trying to tackle Thomas Tapeh again over playing that.

People get cut from marching bands, but it’s a marching band, not the philharmonic. You’re not going to get cut because you can’t play the Carnival Of Venice.
