Chop, it wasn’t easy, but I think I chased down the inspiration for all grumpy old men memes, ever.
I must admit, I could only make it through 10 minutes before fast-forwarding a bit (many times). People back then must have had incredible attention spans and were ok with films that plodded along like a drugged brontosaurus.Sorry, GJ... I'm ADHA and my limited adult attention span only allowed me about 8 minutes of this treasured clip. Thank you for sharing.
Meanwhile: BEAT THE HELL OUTTA okie lite !!!
All you have to do is ditch the grossly untalented and unimaginative aggy band and I don't care what happens to the rest of the list."Listing the 10 best college marching bands in the NCAA, in no particular order
...
The University of Texas Longhorn Band
Consistently ranked among the best college marching bands, Texas’ Longhorn Band is well known for its giant bass drum called Big Bertha – considered the largest bass drum in the world with a diameter of roughly 8 feet across. The drum is roughly 100 years old and is often the star of the show.
The band often refers to itself as the “Showband of the Southwest,” and it is evident in its electrifying, high-energy performances. It’s sad, however, that the original 100-year-old Big Bertha has since been retired and replaced by a newer, equally sizable bass drum."

Texas a&m?!?!?! They haven't done anything new since 1966 (Balad of the Green Beret). They SHOULD be good at the only performance they've done for 57 years."Listing the 10 best college marching bands in the NCAA, in no particular order

One of the greatest entrances ever by the LHB was 84 at Auburn. The athletic department sprung for close to $100,000 to fly the LHB to Montgomery, bus them to Auburn, then immediately back home. The Auburn crowd was loud & rowdy during warmups. The only entrance into Jordan-Hare was about as wide as a single car driveway. 3-4 band members could get through at a time, so the lead was about the 35-40 yard line before they started playing. I remember hearing a drunk say, "Gawd damn are they ever gonna stop marching in?". That entrance took the crowd out of the game before kickoff. Three quick TD passes and the overwhelming lack of intelligence by Pat Dye and down went a Top 5 Auburn team as Dye let Bo Jackson touch the ball SIX times, while "little train" James touched it over 25 times.
After the game Fred said now we knew why he fought so hard to get Deloss to fund the band trip.
As I've posted before any rating of a negative nature from me is inadvertent. I do like or agree with an occasional winner. Any thing else is accidental. WTF? Has been removed. My apologies.IDE, sorry, for some reason I seem to often annoy you when I post.
Why is that?
Let it be written. Let it be done.Somebody post up the UT band coming into DKR right before ND game in 2016!
AU and Bo Jackson were not used to facing a Defense like we fielded back then.One of the greatest entrances ever by the LHB was 84 at Auburn.

Wish I could have see that, Horn6721.
on a related note, here’s a clip of the LHB drawing scorn and catcalls from the OU fans as they head into the Cotton Bowl stadium for the RRS.
