I am oldish. Not too old but old enough to remember the ‘glory days’ of Tennessee football and all that came with it. The 1990s were the pinnacle of every vol fan’s sports existence. The hits were harder. The smokey dogs were beefier. The air was crisper. And the Pride of the Southland Marching Band was rivaled only by Van Halen and Guns and Roses for electric show stopping performances. People came from Memphis to Mountain City, arriving early, to see the band ‘form the power T’. Opposing fans were so enthralled with the band’s ability they would demand their athletic department donate huge amounts of money to Tennessee just so they could hear the band play their fight song. Like a world class piano bar, the PotSMB would play your request but it’s going to cost you. (great contract negotiations by cutthroat Vol AD Doug Dickey have kept these schools locked in for decades)
quote:
Ask anyone who was in the POTSMB in the 1980s and 90s and they will shower you with tales of sex, drugs and mobile musical precision. Pride members ran through coeds like Chuck Webb through the Auburn defense. For most Pride members it was as simple as “My name is Gary. I play the Tuba. I don’t use condoms and I won’t call you back” *Girl rips off pants*

Not nearly on the same level as LSU, Auburn, Alabama (back in the day) but always better than UF and Ole Miss

Bama's P.A. plays better songs than the MDB now.

Marching bands, pokemon, dungeons and dragons and other pathetic role playing games do not belong in any sensible discussion of football.

If the half time show at the GA game in 2011 wasn't a clue, then...
Our group started laughing and when we looked to some of the fans around us to ask what was up the response was pretty much the same. Half said they'd been doing this shite all year and they didn't get it either and the other half just shook their head.

"The Pride of the South" was already taken by Ole Miss, so you settled for "Pride of the Southland."
The first time I saw your band take the field in those ugly arse orange tuxedo things, it gave me a headache and made me sick to my stomach for 30 minutes.

No one wants to hear Living on Prayer. Not only is it one of the worst songs of all time but it sends the message that our only hope at victory is pleading for intervention from an omnipotent being. (I understand this has been true of late but the point stands)

The Dixie Redcoats don't have time for this whiny bullshite. We're busy being all orchestral and dropping the panties of older country club MILFs.
