DAILY AFFIRMATION: DAY 32
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.

#1, perhaps such is the origin of the porn practice of ‘dotting the eyes’– first you dot the ‘I’ in script Ohio, then you start ‘dotting the eyes’ of coeds.

#5-
And what exactly do you think is a great tradition, Last Dragon? I have no allegiance to OSU, since they usually steal our in-state talent or provide us with crappy coaches, but I love Script Ohio. It’s one of the coolest things to see in person in all of college football.

Year2-Dave says:
Hey, watch it. First of all, those tubas weigh more like 40-45 pounds, depending on how old they are. The older the heavier.
Second of all, it is possible to get glory as a Gator tuba player by winning Luke Winn’s basketball tournament blog pool and finishing #8 overall on SI.com: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/ncaa_tourney/2007/2007/04/blog-pool-update-this-is-end.html

Chris says:
#2: You know, I marched for 9 years (4 in high school, 5 at GT) and I never noticed it, but you’re right. The tubas always doinked the piccolos.
And there’s nothing wrong with band girls. Hell, I’m marrying one (in 11 days!).

All the band “traditions” suck.
Except for MY school, that is.
I dare you to keep your composure while a lone trumpeter sounds out the first few notes to “Glory” on Sanford Bridge.

I’m not certain, but I think it’s a sousaphone, not a tuba. I’m mildly surprised that an Ohio State fan hasn’t already reamed you good for such a mistake.

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the stomping of the dogs
We should teach those poor dumb farm boys
They should stick to slopping hogs
When the Gators are triumphant
We will raise a mighty cheer
And we’ll do the same next year!

The Last Dragon says:
Any tradition that involves the band is queer. The tradition needs to be created by the athletes – 12th man, Howard’s Rock, etc. Not the dorks running around at halftime when no one is watching.

Scalz1 says:
Wouldn’t say love, but it’s a pretty cool tradition. This being said by a Michigan fan. And, oh, by the way, the UM band did the script Ohio first, when tOSU visited the Big House.
July 31st, 2007 at 9:11 am

Year2-Dave says:
Yes, it is a sousaphone, but most people in the band still call them tubas because it’s easier to say and no one confuses it with “saxophone” when you say it.

my band’s cooler than your band…..i bet your band can’t do what our band can do…..where the fuck am i??? halftime is for peeing and trying to find more booze so that my hangover doesn’t start to set in prematurely in the fucking third quarter.

BurritoBrosShits says:
I remember this guy from last years OSU-Michigan game. They interviewed him afterwards and you would think he just won the lottery or fot the chance to fuck Gisele. Overrated tradition. End of third quarter + Swamp + “We are the Boys” + Drunken Swaying = Tradition
#14
I always found it ironic that a school that prides itself on its Southern tradition (UGA) would choose a Yankee song (Battle Hymn of the Republic) for one of tis traditional songs.

Will says:
#23– No need to blow a gasket– most of these ‘Band is better than your band’ people pee sitting down anyway, so stadium pissing isn’t in their vocabulary.

Band Geeks. I mean, if your team makes it to the Sugar Bowl, they get a all expenses paid trip to New Orleans, and unlike the players, they don’t have a curfew. Suckers.

The best part of being in the band is the university paying you to attend road games and bowl games.
That is all.

Well, if “American Pie” is true…I’d hang out with Band Geek Chicks….I liked to be ridden hard and slapped around a bit and called “bitch”

#29 hits the nail right on the head.
Band “geek” got me quite a few memorable nights. Daily stipend of cash, no curfew, city full of like-minded football (and in the spring, basketball) fans? Sold.

TIGERinATL says:
#14 First your school needs to get a real fight song.
Currently you have changed 10 words to the chorus to an already famous song… a chorus which other schools even play at points throughout a game.
Very bush league my friend.

I do notice that there is little fight in the “dawg”, though….

Mr. Wrong says:
It’s probably just me, but these daily affirmations are starting to make the season seem so far away. It reminds me of the first time I drove all the way across Texas. After you cross over from La. on I-20, there’s a sign that says: EL PASO 858 MILES. A couple minutes later: EL PASO 856 MILES. Then: EL PASO 850 MILES. I guess they like to remind you just how freaking big the state is, but it really gets on your nerves. I want to just zone out, and suddenly, “Hey! Almost to Dallas! Only 600 miles left!”
Just me? Ok, I’ll just shut up and look at the cows.

…nor do I, Judge. I just enjoy pissing of Bammers
And Techies, and Buckeyes. I’ve covered 3 of the 6 BCS conferences in this thread. All that’s left is questioning if Pat White catches or pitches to Slaton, wondering where Pete Carol gets his blow, and if Mangino is going to eat Dan Hawkins whole if the Buffalos beat his Jayhawks.
There. 6 BCS conferences, 6 references.

Coop says:
Georgia fans do understand that “Glory” is to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, don’t they?
Let’s play the SAT game:
Dixie was to the Confederate army what the Battle Hymn of the Republic was to —– army.
First, allow me to say that I respect band people for performing a task that I am neither capable, no musical talent whatsoever, nor interested in performing. Kudos to you guys for putting on what appears to be oppressively hot uniforms and entertaining the crowds during the game and at halftime, even though I head out during halftime at every home (Clemson) game.
As for the “all expenses paid trip with no curfews” to a bowl game, you have to perform during the season. As in, instead of waking up at your discretion after a late Friday night, tailgating, going to the game with “spirits” etc etc etc, you are peforming. Matter of fact, you have to perform in the bowl game, too.

Skinny white boy with a sousaphone makes much more sense – don’t want to be too sore to throw a 20-sided die.

32 days until we get to see a sweaty, fat guy trot out and take a bow after a mind-numbing 8-minute follow-the-leader drill? Culminating in a formation created by the University of Michigan? Yawn.
(oh, I jest. I think Script Ohio is one of the greatest traditions in all of college football, but I also think it’s incredibly boring.)

Took a Yankee song and made it better.
To UGA fans, it’s called Glory, Glory.
Ask Elvis and he’ll call it “An American Trilogy”.
Tomato, tomahto.

Please pick a mascot. One mascot. And if you’re a Clemson fan, well, just shut yer trap.

Year2-Dave says:
The fun part of college marching band isn’t the marching or the parades – that’s what you do because you have to.
The fun part is leading 90,000+ people in “Jaws,” “Go Gators,” “Orange and Blue,” or any other of the school songs. Back in 2003, the linebackers coach (I forget his name at the moment) ran up to us in the band at the LSU game in the third quarter to tell us to keep it up and that we were inspiring the team. Result? LSU’s only loss during Saban’s national title year.
That’s the kind of stuff that kept me in the band long after marching got old.

What is the “Union” Army? Did I win?
Can my prize be to stop the influx of northern transplants to my fair City of Atlanta?
For all the people in the north who dislike the South, they sure do move down here in droves.

But I am just fine with having two mascots as long as neither one is a lazy, drooling lump of fat like Uga.
