Michigan would be a great match up. If nothing else, the Green Brigade would get a lesson in how to be a big time band, B-10 style...........

Michigan would kick our asses on showmanship (making a grand entry etc) we would kick their ass on musicianship. And BTW, thanks to all you music majors and/or GB apologist, who wouldn't know a (

I don't think that the Green Brigade needs to take any guff from Michigan's band....the GB is as good or better.

Any Big10 opponent would be a lot of fun.

From a match-up perspective, of those who might be considered for HOD, I think I'd prefer Nebraska given:

- their inability to create big plays in the passing game

- their poor turnover margin (-1/gm)

- and their inevitable interim head coach situation come Jan 1

Big grain of salt with this site...

1)They don't have a CuSA team in the Military Bowl, but have MUTS in the Indeendence Bowl

2)They have Baylor as Big XII #3 and Texas as #2. Baylor won't lose this Saturday.

3)They have Auburn in the national title game and Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. This one may not be a stretch but I don't see voters keeping an unbeaten team out of the BCS title game.

3. Doesn't the Big 10 have a conference title game? If so, I don't see OSU getting by Michigan State. I think the NC game will be Florida State and Auburn.

SB Nation has us in Hawaii playing San Jose State. I sure hope that one is wrong.

College Football News has us playing in the Heart of Dallas Bowl but lists Texas State as our opponent. I sure hope that one is wrong, too.

It would be the halftime show for the ages! Michigan is a Big 10 band at its best but they have never gone up against the Green Brigade. Also, for the past 50 years Michigan and UNT have been in the top 5 music schools for both size and quality

Michigan would kick our asses on showmanship (making a grand entry etc) we would kick their ass on musicianship.

And BTW, thanks to all you music majors and/or GB apologist, who wouldn't know a (overall) great band performance if it bit you in your collective asses, for all the negative votes.

Playing Michigan in Dallas would be the best case scenario for us.

There is a tie into our last bowl victory.... That year, Ohio state was on the brink of being beaten by Cincinnati.... And they ended up winning that game and then the national championship.

Well, now Michigan took Ohio state to the very end only to see The buckeyes win in the end...

Now Ohio state has a spot in the national championship game(if they don't poop the bed)... I would love for UNT to play a demoralized Michigan team in our neck of the woods. Not saying I am confident of a victory over Michigan, but I do think we could hang tough with a middle of the road big 10 team this year. Plus, and of course least importantly, we are 1 and 0 against the big 10.... Unless I have missed a long history with that conference...

Showmanship != 1950's band uniforms

Or <>

Just to inject some computer geek humor into this freaking tired band "pageantry" garbage.

I would look forward to being in the stands to watch both "ass-kickings." Actually, comparing these two bands is like apples and oranges. They are totally different styles, but both of high quality. Last fall I got to see the Minnesota band which would be not as good as Michigan but similar style. Old-school might be the best description but I think fans would like it.

If you think that wandering out on the field and lining up like some Jr. High band is better than something like this.....

...then you deserve what you get. It's the bands job to get the crowd pumped and going. And guess what? The crowd IS pumped! And they look forward to this opportunity to participate with the band!

Here's what Michigan Band would do......,

I'm no fan of jogging/running. The quick step of the Ohio State band is preferable.

And yes, I'll take those 50's Ohio State type unis any day.

Ohio State is great. Has anyone seen their moving stick figure routines that have been shown several times on the Today Show recently? Any of these would be quite different than the McAdow shows back in the 60's when I was in the NTSU band. I'll give Maurice credit though. He did know how to take a 125 piece band and make it sound huge.

i don't see that much difference between Mich and our band... except maybe the drum major prancing around and then falling on his head...

      Army Week Unis

      I assumed the t-shirt was part of this week's uniform. Why else wear it in the reveal? 🙂

      Army Week Unis

      Not a fan of the black but then again we've seen for years, what fans care for doesn't really matter to be completely honest when it comes to uniforms and school colors. We'll ask the question again that seems to trigger some of the people here, please give me an example of one player who has said they chose to come to a school or not go to a school because of the uniform choices changing constantly. What I do absolutely hate and think makes us look bad is the T shirts hanging out underneath the jerseys.

      Army Week Unis

      Just here to piss off a handful of people and say the school recognizes black as an official color.... The uni is fun, the players like them.. lets win.

      Army Cadets?

      There are usually at least some cadets at away games -- usually cadet leadership and cadets from the general area of the game. The pep band also travels, but I don't know if they travel to all games. The Army team will go over to the visitor's seating area for the playing of Alma Mater after the game just as they do at home games.

      Minnesota

      "We knew this game was gonna be kinda one of the ones we didn't want to play..." "Obviously, Minnesota's probably gonna be much better than the last two teams we played." Minnesota defeated ORU 80-57 Their Field Goal Percentage was 57.7% Their 3 Point Percentage was 61.1% They had 9 total turnovers Defense will clearly be the key to the game.
