I can't tell you whether our band travels to away games or not. I. Don't. Care.

Just as an FYI, I talked to a BQ buddy tonight to make sure I had this straight. Back when men were men and dinosaurs roamed the Earth (1975), the Aggie band marched at Arkansas, and again in 1977. They did not play at some HS game as a previous Ark. fan implied - at least not back then. And Arkansas' band traveled to and marched in Kyle Field in '76 and '78. BQ buddy's recollection is very believable as he was shown on TV after the game punching an Ark. fan who had been throwing stadium seats at the band down below, and he had had enough of it. His father called him and said he saw him on TV. He "sat" three weekends for it and believes it was worth it - sitting a weekend Corps guys know about. I sat plenty myself and will spare the details, but it is definitely not a fun experience. In Aggie-speak his sacrifice is called "good bull"

Personally I don't really care (though I've posted about it plenty). I just think it's a shame. Neither team will be at home for this game for the next 10 years. Seems like a really good time for Arkansas fans to see the Aggie band, and no offense, but your school blew it.
