Band and Cheer Stuff

This week, our opponent has one of the other great iconic bands in college football. While UM's band is smaller, their fight song is recognizable by any sports fan. They do that classic Big 10 thing where the drum major struts leaning backwards, then touches the back of his head to the ground while leaning back.

The entry of the Michigan Wolverines team to the stadium is stirring. That's where I've set this video to start.

Ladies and Gentlemen, our worthy adversary:

 


Lads, in your great, great, great, great, great grandparents' time, Michigan was in the "West".

Major cool. And the crowd really gets into it. Love the band’s entry into the stadium.

Michigan's fanbase outclasses Ohio State's 100 to 1.
 
I like to think of them as the Northern version of us.

Now that may be a bit of a reach academically, at least until you consider our research production.........

Yeah Sabre I’m with you on this but double my concern onto our defense interior as well. I will not be convinced our new folks are the replacements we need to be as good as last year until we see what they can do against Mich.

About the only fan base (all 25 of them) that doesn't outclass Ohio State are VT and UConn. UConn's fans are pure gutter trash.

I don’t think it’s much of a reach. Considering that you have to be in the top 6 or 7 % of your class to get into UT these days, unless you’re recruited by one of the schools (and you’d still likely need a competitive GPA). Engineering is well represented in the LHB.
 
Never, I mean NEVER in a gazillion years would I ever believe I would make this statement - that guy is infinitesimally worse than OU's guy. The only good thing about watching that clip is that tonight I can thank God that that is not my son, my grandson, or even a distant member of my family.

Worse than OU and not nearly as good as Southern.
 
At least the drum majors in the Original Authentic Toy Soldier Band don’t do that sort of thing. So that’s a plus for them.

Indeed. Back in the day, we respected Michigan's band, and occasionally played a BIG 10 fight song medley. Glenn Richter, a former LHB student president, was director of the Michigan band for a couple of years in the early 80s, before returning to Austin as LHB director for about 15 years. We thought their drum major choreography was silly, and they thought our cowboy hats were hokey.

Does anyone really give a **** what a bunch for fuckin fur-in-ners think. They wouldn't know a 10X from a 100X, and lose their mind over the cost of a 1000X, none of which WalMart sells.

Good because tOSU fans in Sept 2005 acted like OU fans. UM fans in Jan 2005 acted nicely, but I couldn't tell if that was just the LA travel crowd or indicative of most UM fans.

I hope we get a lot of this filling up the TV screen.

Important message cross- posted from the Pump Some Sunshine thread:

Our offense is awesome
Our defense dominates
We've got that winning combination
And that's great!
