i will be your valentine friend. bjss

all you guys who are getting offended here can come over, borrow my shoe spoon, and dig out the wedgie you've been fighting all day. these guys are not taking shots at dr. bataille but rather at you guys who obsessed over the "belly girls". there's a reason my friends call this board a collection of "nerds and pervs"

now, i was quick to bag on the band after the ou game so i feel that i need to praise them after smu. i wasn't able to make it to the game but the picture of the band shown above looks really classy. great job!

no, he saves that for the football games

did hank just commend smu for "ponying up"?

dang! TD smu.

the penalties are killing me!

this picture is the classic example of where our band was outclassed. their summer UNIFORMS are just that UNIFORM. the shorts are the same length and shade and the dark shirt looks a whole lot better than white.

i'm not one to make fun of anyone's dancing as i'll guarantee it's better than mine, but that's probably why i don't dance in public

i always loved it when the pee wee football cheerleaders would decorate my parents' side walk on friday afternoons. thanks for the flashback.

says the guy who has a bag!

man, i hate to see this in writing. i think we all knew that jmo had nfl talent on display as a freshman and it's hurt us as fans to see the decline. what happened to the dreams of the "mario brothers"?

i think that i've personally manufactured anger towards smu just so we can have a fun rivalry, but i don't really have a reason to dislike them. i did hear some guy on the todd dodge show monday step up to the open mike and then ramble off this "question" that was no more than a "why we hate smu" post and never posed a question for coach dodge. it had something to do with working with jerks from smu but can't we all agree that NT has a bunch of jerks also?

exactly! are they trying to impress their parents and other music students or are they trying to support the football team. i beg you to ask a marching band member at UT if they go on the field trying to play the pants off the other band. i contend that they're so excited about the football game that all they really care about is having fun and getting the crowd excited with whatever that song is that they always play. obviously, i don't know much about what i'm talking about, but i think that means i'm exactly who they should be performing for. it's time for NT to stop assuming everyone wants to increase their knowledge of music. many of us just don't care!

i completely gagree! i'll admit that people are going to have different opinions out there but the halftime show that the GB produced took me back to high school. the band looking sloppy as all get out playing a song that no on recognizes then playing 'proud mary' or somesuch for the drill team. thanks for the support and everything, but how about some tradition? maybe the OU drum major's stepping is wheels off, but it's cool and everyone cheers when he comes out. i also agree with the numbers. i'll guarantee there are high school bands that have more members. what are the marching band requirements of our music students? if our student body is the third biggest in the state and we boast about our music program, why does it not show on the biggest stage (yes, football is the biggest stage)? is it difficult to put on green shirts and order some matching shorts? i understand about the heat and i wouldn't have been caught in a heavy uniform at that game but how about a band field trip to ross to buy matching shorts? it seemed like the new jerseys and coaches shirts looked very sharp but it didn't continue to the band. maybe i was frustrated by the game too much, but i was very dissapointed in the halftime show.

hmmm...seems like overreaction to me. do you expect them to praise us?

wow

i've always been nervou when he's in the game

i, for one, appreciate you posting this here. i wouldn't have looked at page two and i'm not able to check this thing daily (although i probably shouldn't mention that because now i just lost any respect that my one green box gets me!)

how has p cobbs not got a mention in this?

i'd line them up 4 WRs with trips to one side. send all three on 5-yard crossing patterns and the fourth guy up your butt and around the corner

wow

would you guys like an interlocked "NT" if the copper and blue were still involved?

i'm just proud of our facility and the young men who represent us
