Highly disagree. The band and them basically leading the cheers for the crowd is one of my favorite college football traditions. I'm actually more annoyed at the rise in piped-in music so that the band plays less. I am also disappointed when the traveling team cannot bring their band because the two opposing bands sort of battling it out with each other for cheers is kinda cool, IMO.

If I want to hear piped-in music, I would attend an NFL game or, better yet, just stay at home and play my own damn music while watching football on the TV.

Also, no, I was never in a band, so there is no band bias on my part. I am 30 years old, so I don't necessarily consider myself one of the old coots stuck in the past, either.

BTW, this seems like a timely link. Also note no band scholarships.
