Iowa band relegated to pregame only at Citrus Bowl

MeetTheFerentzes when someone makes a joke about band kids..
Looks like we’ve got a 3rd candidate to describe his awesomeness for everyone. This time from a guy who thought KF couldn’t fire BF himself, so now we’ll have super intelligence mixed with super awesomeness. Please share.
 
Still waiting for him to share details about his awesomeness with us. Can’t wait.

Don't bother asking him because typically people who complain about others feel the need to do it to justify why they're a nobody with zero skills. I never played an instrument or was in the band, but I certainly can respect others for what they want to do.
 
Not crying about anything. I’m simply defending those who aren’t here to defend themselves, and finding out a lot about who on this board is totally awesome.
The HMB white knight, they thank you for your dedicated service to admonish anyone who makes a joke about them. Without you defending them, I don't know how they would go on living a normal life.
 
C'mon man, a vast majority of football fans could give two shits about the band.
I’d concur that a minority of the fans in the stadium are big supporters that make sure they see their entire show, as well as performances between games. However, I think it’s one of those “don’t know what you got…” situations in which even those who don’t care all that much would miss it suddenly being gone from the unique college game day atmosphere, whether they’d be willing to admit it or not.

I'll try, just for you. Let's just say the attitude she effused about her and her bandmates was ingratiating. So what instrument do you blow or suck? Band in high school, especially marching band, was the province of untalented hacks who couldn't make it into orchestra. Are you one of those?
My reply is a 3 step plan for you:

#1. First of all, you might want to look up the definition of the word “ingratiating”

#2. Realize how much of a jerk you’re acting like. You’re not going to ingratiate yourself to many on the board this way

#3. Review step #1 again so you can understand what I’m saying in step #2

Band people are arrogant losers. Deal. Ok. Did all 3 steps.
 
But you call out anyone who defends KF or BF? Interesting.
I know a lot of band geeks, they all know they’re geeks. You sure are a sensitive little fella.
Another candidate to outline for us his awesome life.

Yeah, criticizing millionaire coaches is kind of the same as ripping on large groups of college kids that are performing for your entertainment.

Still waiting on that autobiography. You must be working hard on it. On chapter 4 yet?

BTW, I signed the petition for you. I used your email address - GOHOX69@dumbass.dork. Did you get the confirmation?

Oh, I get it - 69. Do you have to be as cool as you to be that creative?

So you’re not going to admit you’re a hypocrite? Figured as much.
I’m a dork too. My like IS amazing and I never said anything bad about band geeks.
You got picked on A LOT in school didn’t you?

So you know the correct meaning of the word “ingratiating” now?

Mission accomplished

My two cents are that the bands are an essential part of college football, playing fight songs, victory songs, and between play songs. Halftime shows are not even what they do best, IMO, it’s all the other stuff

And yes, people would definitely miss that if it were gone. College football isn’t the same without Script Ohio, or Notre Dame fight song, or even Iowa’s Imperial March on 3rd down. Want to see a game without marching bands? See an NFL game

That’s because I’m not. Comparing those two things is ridiculous, but you already knew that.
Still waiting for the story of your awesomeness.
You don’t make an insult toward huge groups of people and then claim to not say anything bad about them.
No, but I’ll bet you did, which is why you’re projecting.

Haha, another band geek. In high school, some guys put a banana and a bologna sandwich in a guy's marching band tuba. Yummy results ;)

Band members can get scholarships but I don't think these are considered athletic scholarships. So it doesn't count toward toward the disparity College football gives you.
The only scholarship directly associated with the marching band is the Golden Girl. She gets a full scholly. For the rest, it's just an extra class/activity. (1 credit hour) There's also a small stipend but it's not much. There may be music majors in the band who are on scholarship related to their major...but not specific to the Marching Band.

Who did I insult? All band geeks know they’re band geeks, other than you obviously.
You are definitely a hypocrite, and apparently not very bright.
I’ll tell you how awesome my life is after you tell us how awesome your life is.

You did it again. Stop pretending.

No, criticizing millionaire coaches is not at all the same as making blanket judgements about millions of people based solely on an unpaid activity they’ve participated in. Again, stop pretending.

You must be new to the thread. I’m not making these blanket insults. Those who have are invited to detail their awesomeness. Try to keep up.

I'll try to explain my awesomeness in just a couple short, sweet sentences, no further explanation needed..

Here's the deal: I'm the best there is - plain and simple. I mean, I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence. You know, nobody can hang with my stuff. I'm just a--just a big, hairy, American winning machine.
 
Gavin isn't country music, and frankly pretty solid. The kids still get the bowl trip and don't have to rehash a stale program, so....
In actually not as upset about the band’s performance being cut short as a lot of people are, but I chuckled at your calling a dude who once won a Grammy 10 years ago as “solid,” but the band’s halftime show, which they’ve done a total of twice and has been praised by Metallica themselves, is “stale.”

I’m keeping up. I laughed the whole time I was reading this thread, especially the half where you are crying.
It’s you who obviously doesn’t understand what a hypocrite is. You say you’re defending people who aren’t here to defend themselves. I’d wager there are a lot more band geeks on this site than there Iowa coaches.
How many boxes of tissues have you gone through while defending these poor kids?

I see you’ve basically given up. Good choice, since you make very little sense about anything. Not any different than in other threads.

LOL at the hypocrisy claim.

You had me until "hairy"...

I didn’t say it wasn’t good, I just assumed it had been done at all the home games so therefore stale by virtue of being done a lot.
And I guess I’m old for calling Gavin “solid” (I mean, I am old).

I'm guessing you mean this...by "geek".

a person who is knowledgeable about and obsessively interested in a particular subject, especially one that is technical or of specialist or niche interest.
----------------------------

That having been addressed...no matter what you think of bands...this is a pretty stupid move by the bowl sponsors. Somebody decided "Hey, maybe we can sell more tickets with a big feature act for the halftime show. You know...like the Super Bowl".

Clearly this person knows nothing about the college football experience or fan. They're not going to sell a single ticket because somebody wants to see Gavin Degraw for 10 minutes. College football fans buy college football tickets for a college football experience...and to follow their team.

I guess we know where the guy who came up with "New Coke" landed...or perhaps the intern who proposed the red, white and blue balloons on the day we played red and white Wisconsin.
