.... Do we really have nothing better to criticize than the Number 1 Collegiate Marching Band in the nation? 1. There are more than 320 members in the GB. There just aren't enough uniforms. They ar

Not really. Some dude, or should I say dudes, prancing around twirling flags is ridiculous. Man up, son. Sorry if you don't agree, but I think some things should be gender specific, and one of thos

SOmeone mentioned after the Houston game that the issue was not having enough unis to dress everyone.

Don't know if that's true or not, but you are right about the weather. It was great tonight.

As a current member of the GB I have to disagree with you guys, just because it feels nice outside doesn't mean it feels the same in full uniform. Try putting on your biggest winter coat and running around outside right now for 10 minutes straight and that's what the halftime show is like for us.

Done it before. I lived. Always wondered why they made those things out of wool and not dri-fit.

Why does every other school's band wear their uniforms in the heat? You always see UT's band in full uniform, A$M's is always in their military uniforms, SMU's is always...nevermind. Maybe we should buy from a manufacturer that can produce a cooler uniform. The t-shirts, shorts and black socks look bad.

Speaking of the male flag bearers, how ridiculous is that?

Nothing wrong with the male flag bearer, just think it was much more appealing not seeing them in spaghetti strap tops.

the band sounded great, but the announcer flubbed the song credits....said the composer of Malaga was Stan Kenton and the bandleader that made it famous was Bill Holman, when the opposite is true.....but that was better than the first game when the bandleader was Stan Keaton....

minor details, but simple to get correct...

Watching ASU/USC game and the bands are wearing tshirts and pants on national TV!!! And the TCU band made the WFAA news with tshirts on.... So sloppy

By the way, love how the GB can play Emblem of Unity march, some pop song I can't remember after the 1st quarter, and it's other standards and still have people complain about the lack of variety.

I think Beerman should do a solo with the GB at the next home game.

So can the football team just play flag football in shorts and t shirts until October because I'm pretty sure it's pretty damn hot for them in full pads as well and they play for 3 hours, not 10 minutes

They practice in pads...their bodies are used to it. GB doesn't because that would be stupid.

+1. I love your sarcasm, but you'd have to "coach up" most in this thread for them to get it.

I cheered for 5 years, try running the flags 26 times times in polyester (the Navy game 4 years ago)

Good one, +!. No need to coach folks up on sarcasm, sometimes you just gotta throw the pearls-before-swine.

God. All of you.

Was that the r-tard in the indian outfit with "IU" painted on his chest?

I understand that it is hot, but wouldn't it be possible to do the pregame and halftime shows in your band uniforms, then take the hats and jackets off while in the stands?

I don't think it's a problem not having the number of uniforms. If the Allen HS Band, which numbers a small Chinese province can have the right number of uniforms, then so can we.

But the Green Brigade does sound AWESOME!

i marched in the green brigade from 95-97...we always wore our uniforms. we were allowed to take off our jackets for the third quarter, but that's it. wear the uniforms...you'll live and look good.

You're working really hard to find something to be mad about.

      KState MBB and Jerome Tang: What is going on?

      Is something brewing at Kansas State? Wasn't Tang the next big, up-and-coming coach? Achor Achor, who transferred from Samford to Kansas State, has been dismissed from the men's basketball team after playing in just seven games. His performance this season saw him averaging 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds, a significant drop from his time at Samford. This marks the second consecutive year that Kansas State has dismissed a player mid-season, raising questions about team cohesion and management under coach Jerome Tang. While some sources suggest the dismissal was due to conduct detrimental to the team, the exact reasons remain officially undisclosed. This development adds to the ongoing narrative of challenges within the Wildcats' program. source

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      I not sure about sisters, but they are both cut from the same cloth. @Censored by Laurie supports a young man that decided to take the law into his own hands by murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood thus throwing his support behind murder as an option for dealing with those he disagrees with Funny how we know more about this assassin in 48 hours than we know about the kid that tried to assassinate a nominee for president five months ago. Let that sink in and question why the media only does their job half the time He and @Coffee and TV will throw out smart ass quips at those they disagree with. It’s how they operate.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?
