re: Band pregame

Im not a huge fan of the 'aaaahhhhh,' but I don't hate it necessarily, and it's one of very, very few unique things I think we still do. Definitely could not and wouldn't fault the band kids for working hard, but I couldn't tell you the last time I've actively watched halftime or stood for a full pregame set at the stage. I've certainly caught substantial pieces of both in recent years, but the sounds of the drumline and blaring of the brass don't bring me any sort of them feels about Ole Miss. Instead, it just makes me think of college football in general. The Pride of the South could easily be the generic soundtrack band if ever EA revives NCAA football
