I have to say I'd rather cast my eyes on Bama's Million Dollar Band Twirler girls...

Either at your feet or at your throat, it's best to just keep them down.

I've never understood the attraction of watching other bands (that don't do the military thing A&M does). They play rotations of crappy pop music that has been adapted for a big band, wander around hoping to produce some identifiable shape (but, most often, just looks like an amoeba), and almost always dress in some variation of the classic "band geek" uniform.
Even the girls are either too far away, or you wish they were even further away. It's not like the average girl out there is something you would want to start slipping 20's to.
I am admittedly prejudiced, but the precision and crispness of the FTAB is something I will always consider one of our greatest assets as a program.

Its cool but I expect them to march right out of the stadium and start knocking out the glass from shop windows

So, anything military gives you the jimmies and you want to cast them as thugs?

I really liked their band but there is something definitely disquieting about it. The marching precision, the jackboots, the military music.
Must be a Hillary supporter.

What an odd comment.

Are you confusing us with the drunken barely contained riot LSU calls a stadium full of fans?

That's right.
Many militaries throughout history have marched in lines and worn uniforms.

My apologies. I am still scarred by our time in the Big XII.
And, in my defense, second from right is a little....worrying.

When I watch the Navy or Army band, I don't think "Holy shite they look like Nazis"

Yeah, it's unfortunate that the thought would enter your mind about a college marching band from Texas.

Nothing more vanilla and uninteresting than Alabama's "million dollar" band.
