Basketcase is the only song they have played that was written after 1980.
This is a joke, right? They play Lil' Wayne (who I personally don't care for) but it's an effort to please the under 30 people.
The sad part is that the only song of any kind that our under 30 crowd responds to is Dixieland Delight on the PA. That song was old when I was a student 20+ years ago. AND IT WASN'T GOOD THEN.
The difference in our band and LSU is the crowd response. The cheers are nearly identical. The songs are similar. LSU fans participate, though, and UA fans don't. Our fans are the worst in the conference in this respect.
When LSU plays Chinese Bandits (a mediocre song as old current students grandfathers), every fan participates. That would never happen with our fans.

I'm glad someone realizes this.

This thread was doomed from the start. There's a reason there isn't an MDB board on Tidefans anymore. It's always the same thing. Some people hate Ozello. Some think Mrs. Scott was God. Others just hate what they play now, some where they sit, there are current members who will defend themselves. And every group thinks theirs is the correct opinion. If ever a thread had the absolute potential to be shite, it's an MDB thread.

I do, and I also think it's ridiculous when morons talk about the band playing old songs, but they really love it when the PA plays songs from when I was in junior high school.

I was being somewhat sarcastic. As if you read my post I have no issues with the band during the game. I even made the same point that our fans are just not into cheers.
But my point still stands in regards to the halftime shows.

I have had family and friends in the MDB over the years. It really is sad to hear people talk about how much the band sucks knowing how much work they put in. So Roll Tide MDB

It seems that nobody outside of the student section even knows the cheers.
quote:FWIW I actually like the cheers..
I think nobody cares because they're all pretty simple and uncreative and don't contain more than 2-3 words
IMO They're kind of old school and traditional. I think they "fit" the Crimson Tide, UA, and the fans.
All of the traditions of UA and The Crimson Tide is what makes BAMA......BAMA
