The band's not being at the game affected our performance, T/F

It maybe had some minimal effect. When I used to go to road games, the players always appreciated the support, and in that environment, the band is one of the few things that can be heard by the players.

I don't know if it had an effect on the team, but to me that's not the point. The point is, who the frick does Texas think they are, walking all over college football tradition like that?

I also hate the playoff (period, whether expanded or not), don't like the targeting rules, and don't like the shift towards pass-heavy, run-light, finesse offenses.

I would add; the band didn’t continue to call screen passes to WRs with unblocked DBs flying in to tackle our guys for losses.
