Thank you Penn State for defeating the LSU on Jan 1, 2010. The first game of the new decade and you put a BIG L on this loser school. GO Nittany Lions!!!!
@MrTexasFight Any sport? really? Their women's volleyball team has 3 straight national titles w/o having lost a single game. Their men won the NC in 08.

Yes, thank you isaac. You have obviously proved me right. You might actually want to proofread your comments before you actually post them, because they are in fact, a reflection of what you are & you are obviously a stupid hick from louisiana who has dropped out of middle school. I assume you mean Rutgers, not Rutgards. I have never heard of Rutgards unless that is a takeoff university in louisiana that schools the mentally handicapped and imbred citizens of Louisiana. But keep the faith, loser
You might want to proof read your own postings before critiquing those of someone else. It's "you have proven"me not "you proved me right". And it is "inbred", not "inbread". And I would never be so unkind as to use the subject of the mentally handicapped as the butt of a joke. Just sing me a proud graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. And to you LSU fans, act as if you've been there. Because you have!
i think its funny that you are actually proud to be from such a stupid hick state such as louisiana....and after losing to another hick state like alabama, i doubt you losers will even be in the top 25, but i'll let you loser dream,,,,,"YEAH LSU THE BEST!!!" OH BABY!!!!!.........you idiots make me laugh....
??? ..LSU is i hick school?.....I admire you i really do..you've taken the time out of your so OBVIOUSLY packed social life to attempt to make us feel like the other rednecks in the SEC......FAIL.

Hey man. Learn some facts. It doesn't matter how good you are at anything at LSU. If you don't have at least a 2.5 GPA in High school your not gettin in.
i think these r some pretty funny discussions for this video, especially how osu and lsu fans are so defensive on the quality of their bands. u should appreciate the uniqueness of each band. and just for the record, im in the Carolina Band and we do normally refer to our headgear as shakos.
Nugent4Heis OSU the best band...are you kidding? Quit dogging LSU's Band, you have no "podium" to stand on. LSU is a very good band, I have enjoyed them for years and I'm not from LSU. Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps the twelve time WORLD CHAMPIONS. I enjoy listening to the LSU drumline play the Bleu Raeders Drum Corps cadence. No offense to OSU but you, Nugent, need to concentrate on football and leave the bands alone. And it's still called a shako!
ok, was i the only one that saw that one golden kick early at 7:43 and thought it was funny?!hahaha...i mean i know people are watching and nerves...but it's so funny!
I think we can agree that we are getting no where with this, and its gone on long enough. We don't see eye to eye, but all in all, marching bands are a great thing for many people. So I won't get back to you in a year, or at all. I'm finished with the arguments and what not, and would like to just "agree to disagree" and move on. You can choose to honor that or not. But I'm done. Peace, and Geaux Tigers!
ok....you keep spouting useless bits of fluff that I could care less about, and you obviously feel the same about what I say. We are clearly not going to reach agreement here. I think that you are severely shortchanging the quality of our program, and I don't agree with how you guys do somethings up there. End of story.
Oh, and someone get their drum major some tassles and a flaming baton. Seriously, I know all that choreography must be extremely difficult, but seriously, I think its a bit much. And I'm sure he thought he was hot shit when he tried showing off when our drum majors met at midfield. just another example of the ohio state arrogance. GEAUX TIGERS!
.. is there a problem with a backflip? im sure if your drum major could, he would. and yes.. his job is to perform. whether you liked it or not.. doesnt really matter. thats like you caring that i thought your drum major in pregame is borinnnnng.. you dont care but its what i think
Yes, I do have a problem with a back flip when a hand shake would suffice. It was unnecessary, and merely an opportunity for the drum major to show off. Boring? I'll take boring over flamboyant any day. Here at LSU, we tend to look for conducting skill over acrobatic skill in our drum majors. A radical concept to be sure....
... tradition. its what he does. your drum major conducts, but anyone can conduct. who are you to determine unneccesary? who said a handshake was necessary? and you cant speak for what you look for. If you had a drum major who could do what ours does, you would utilize it to some extent. our tradition is GASP.. like most bands the BAND DIRECTOR DIRECTS.. really get a good argument and get back with me in a year
First of all, not anyone can conduct. Anyone can 'beat time,' but conducting is another thing entirely. We do utilize our drum majors abilites...to an extent. My argument is simply that your program OVER-utilizes to the point where (and like I said, this is just my opinion) its too "over the top." And our band directors conduct for pregame, check your facts.
the nation? more the like the nation of Ohio. Chris wells? yea. luck. Seeing as though that was about the only productive thing out of the Ohio State offense that night, I think luck would be a fair label.
WE HAD MORE YARDS THAN YOU. DID YOU FORGET THAT? he outran the entire team. went through the middle and busted it to the outside.. skill.. heisman next year
Blue Devils are amazing. I love seeing them. I am only stating that OSU is extremely good and LSU brags too much,when maybe they are just more entertaining.Ohio University is more entertaining than OSU or LSU. No offense to me? Im in OSUMB and i was in the cavaliers championship a few years back. I would gladly put OSU against DCI, and know it would be a great competition. College does the 1 week show and DCI perfects everything. Maybe the future holds DCI vs College? No.. not a shako..please.
I respectfully disagree. No college band (in the current "show a week" set-up) could compete with a division I corp. And all in good fun, we may brag, but we also don't refer to ourselves as "the best damn band in the land" either... :)
im saying if they had the same schedule, as in 1 show all summer,it would be interesting.The musicians at OSU are better on average the Cavaliers, and I think thats stunning The cavaliers have long been the class of DCI. we dont really call ourself that,our fans do,as does everyone else,so i mean at somepoint you have to just be like yea..i guess? no reason to argue with fans who support you.too often there isnt enough support in band programs,but clearly not a problem for either of our schools
The upbringing of any ohio state fan prevents any of the opposing arguments brought up on this forum from sinking in, but hey, at least everyone else can appreciate it. Ohio was clean, but bland and dull, and could not match the prowess of the Golden Band from Tigerland. You all are so wrapped up in your self-appreciation that you haven't seemed to notice just how lackluster you are.
you dont know the upbringing of an osu fan. you guys are convinced you are all "faster". its called turf... its amazing isnt it. and chris wells? must have been luck
your entire attitude is the reason the sec bands are not considered elite. they think they are great when they have yet to do anything to stake that claim. i guess... even talking to some of the more openminded lsu bandmembers and having them admit the major flaws doesnt mean anything. who cares.. really..
No one ever said we were without flaws. But the simple truth of it is, Ohio State's Band is a relic. A fading representation of what things were like 'back in the day.' Its tired, outdated, and irrelevant to anything current. You may have National recognition, but as we learned from Notre Dames football team, you can only ride the coattails of the previous generations glory for so long.
...except notre dame's football team.. sucks. they dont have the talent. we do. go ahead. ask the nation... ohh wait. they did last year and funny thing .. osu was named top still while lsu.. wasnt on the list of the top 10.. and that was done by band directors
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
..are you serious? thats the most... baseless and illogical claim ever. we are not going anywhere. sorry. its not going to happen. you aren't going to take over and the fame of yesterday? id say we are pretty damn famous today, especially if we can attract the money of George Steinbrenner. i think you really need to analyze your facts before you start talking. you sound like a bitter woodwind whos trying to pick a fight for no other reason than to attempt to better your own cause
. We spent 3 days preparing for our national championship performances, including limited rehearsal time between a slew of pep rally appearances. Ohio states band worked on their stuff for around 2 weeks.
tiger band received the combined halftime show (horrible btw) music just a couple days before the performance. And as someone already mentioned. I'd rather have a few members carrying music then have a member get caught on national TV saying "What the f*** am I doing?"
YOU ARE WRONG! YOU DONT KNOW! OSU spent 2 hours on 3 nights before the trip reformatting and learning the pregame and halftime. WE DID NOT HAVE TWO WEEKS. sorry... im not sure where your information is from but once again, you are misinformedd and it just hurts your argument.
I would just like to say that the posts by this Nugent4Heisman character is a perfect example of why no one outside of ohio likes ohio state. Pompous self-righteous a**holes. That halftime show we performed was a variation of one of many that we learned over the course of the season. That show was first performed at least a month before the national championship.
exactly as ours was. keep making claims trying to make yourself appear better than osu. call us assholes.. whatever. we dont really care what show you did, the fact was we came, did our thing, and left. the fact is you will never and could never be a member of TBDBITL even if you wanted to.
please? the only thing that would stop me from making that band is the fact that I play a woodwind, not that I would EVER seek membership, especially having experienced what a true collegiate marching band should be at LSU. The fact that you don't care seems to be a hard sell being as you are responsible for half the posts on this video. You sure say a lot for someone who "doesn't care."
Look. People could get on here all day and bash each other about who's band is better, but its not going to do anything positive. We can laugh at the fact that Ohio State bands kids have to walk around New Orleans in sweatshops and shako's, but then again they could laugh at LSU for... Nevermind
id much rather have a choice of what to wear.. shorts, tshirt, hoodie and sweatpants.. than be told what to wear. also its not a shako.. its a hat with a plume.. im not sure why that word still exists
you're just about a month too late. Shakos and plumes are actually becoming different now. Plus, we wear plumes, not shakos, it is what is. Let me guess, our spats are "shoe covers" too?
shako is the hat, medallion, and plume combination with plume optional. look it up. spats are spats. spats and shako are old military terms. makes sense, since marching bands were originally military oriented (a tradition LSU Tiger Band still honors today with uniforms and some of its formations). The term shako goes all the way back to the Napoleonic wars. original shakos were tall and cylindrical, but they have developed to shorter styles over the years. never too late to set facts straight.
i get what it "is". the point is,nobody calls them that. and when they do,they refer to the plume. instead of trying to use a definition, u should analyze the implied meaning by others.that is the discussion. stay out if u cant understand context. i really dont waste time talking about this anyway.. whats the point?lsu is still convinced their band is among the best nationwide.well some of the people think that, others i talked to openly admit they are not a great band.but whatever doesnt matter
Speaking strictly for the record, around here, people still refer to that type of hat as a Shako. Maybe ya'll don't up north, but around here, everyone still call the actual hat a shako.
Your team and your band got their azzes handed to them. And no one cares about your scripted OOHI except your fans & your pimps(ABC/ESPN). You were boring then & the rest of the game....SLOOPY.
is sloopy all you got to rag on? first.. we get tired of it but the fans love it. but i definetly heard neck way more than sloopy and we were voted best band in college and greatest band tradition by fans, espn, and band directors of america. our band did not get our asses handed to us and until you actually are a band member, and actually have the experience of a college band and ability to properly gauge greatness, i lack respect for your ability to matter in the grand scheme of things
correct. the first band to win it when directors picked. and it can only be awarded once. you are 18 years late. they already awarded all the elite bands by then. heck even florida must win eventually right? haha
so before you try and sound smart.. try again. and the sudler isnt a heisman of bands because it isnt a yearly competition. itd be more of an all century team.
of course, didn't michigan win it before you guys? and sadly enough, yeah, I guess someday florida will have to win it...once everybody else already has one.
michigan won it when sports writers picked.. ok? its no competition any more.. its osu and then michigan state who is an outstanding band. id say the top 5 big ten bands could compete with lsu.. but i will say LSU far outclasses every other band in the sec except Tenn.
LSU not elite? NOT SO FAST. Wiki says "LSU's Band hit its zenith 1970, named All-American College TV Band in a 1-time national contest sponsored by GM. After marching in Orange Bowl Parade on New Year's Eve and performing at halftime of the 1971 bowl game on New Year's Day, they flew to Cal. where they received AA College TV Band Award at the East-West Shrine Bowl. The trophy..confirmed LSU's prominence among the country's top university marching bands". Nugent, you need to quit "bloviating".
haha.. do you recall the circumstances? the college tv band contest was never done again after that. why? because of the outrage of the directors in the communitry disagreeing with 1)the lack of elite bands and 2)the judging style in general. and you should know by know you can't quote wiki.. i could edit it. lsu is not an elite band. BUT THEY SERVE THEIR PURPOSE. take what the fans give you and be happy
It wouldn't surprise me that the Big 10/Notre Dame was crying that THEIR almighty bands didn't win. Yes, I do remember the SOUR GRAPES. Keep hanging on there SLOOPY!?!? LMAO, if it wasn't so pitiful.
sorry. it was voted on by osu that they would not attend until they placed real judges into it and it became a well known event, which obviously that failed. sloopy is still better than T... I...G... never mind. and don't group us with notre dame. we never have or will support their band(which is a joke)
we lost but had a blast anyways down partying with everyone. what a crazy year for football and the bcs standings week after week. not everyone will be happy with the bcs, but like the mafia says you got to give it your best shot!!! we came up short by 14 and we blew it, but till next time everyone have a great winter and smile and be happy!!! go bucks!!!
haha.. not true at all. LSU did NOT have their halftime music memorized, as displayed by the people shown on tv with their music. ANd if they had a million(which i know they have a lot, why only play 3). OSU has about 40ish but sloopy is the one that the fans get into. who knows why. wehave many more songs.. that just wouldnt fit a situation of being down big haha.. cant work.. and we dont have "dance moves" just simplistic stuff.. bitter sax player
You are correct, everyone doesn't have their music memorized for the halftime show but the majority of the band does. Most of what you saw on tv was probably people holding the music for the combined half-time because we got that music on the 4th and did not play it again until the combined rehearsal so only a few people could memorize that. But if you are having to resort to memorization of music being the mark of the better band then that is quite pathetic.
actually i am in osu's band. i saw you live. people hadn't memorized halftime, a show done previously. and yes, i great band has music memorized. having music takes away from the performance you know that. and you guys are not better than osu.. if you want to claim you're a different kind of band thats fine. but then i would say ohio university is better.. and they are
Your band sounds good for a northern band, your balance and tone are quite good, but you don't hold a candle to the raw power produced by our Golden Band. You might be the "Best Damn Band in the Land" up there, but like your football team you fall in the presence of the SEC.
what raw power? you guys aren't as loud as you think. you have 100 extra people.. and we still are there. we don't need to be judged by you. we have our fans, the nations respect and the awards to prove it. its for our fans and my guess is some sec fan will claim you guys can play faster
Your right. Your fans really love you. Maybe that is why by your own admission they only respond to one of your songs. (By the way, the 100 extra people are woodwinds and girls units which = useless for sound purposes) If you don't want to be judged by us then maybe you should not have judged first.
i disputed a claim. the lsu band and sec bands lack the musicianship the northern bands have. do what your fans love, i dont care. and i know what the extras are. and we actually only march 192 so theres 33 making no sound.. so you actually have many more on the field
Alright man, lets be honest. The biggest measure of the success of a college marching band is their interaction with the fans. That is the purpose of a college marching band. We can argue musicianship until we are blue in the face because there is really no evidence either of us can give that would prove either band has superior musicianship.
sounds good. your fan interaction is great! i mean they get it. they love it. come to the horseshoe and you have 105,000 people doing the same. if you ever get the chance to see a buckeye pregame at the shoe or even halftime.. but haha i guess that was like a homegame for you all wasn't it? there was a surprisingly large amount of buckeye fans there wasnt there? my biggest thing with lsu is those uniforms haha you dont like em do you?
The buckeye turnout was much better than I expected which is a great testament to your fans. It kept it from being the home game we expected but it was better that way. The SEC championship was basically a home game for Tennessee and it wasn't a whole lot of fun. Our uniforms are a product of tradition and are very iconic around here. It took me some time to get used to them but once you understand the tradition they symbolize they grow on you. I understand your concern with them though.
oh i totally get it. its just.. the color wow.. its.. different. and i get most people down south look at ours.. but once again tradition... its the only uniform of its kind anymore.. for better or worse
And you are grossly overestimating the negative impact of music on the field, the overwhelming majority of fans in a stadium cannot even see the flips and i would rather see a flip on TV than a trumpet player saying "I don't know what the fuck I am doing."
But if you think that your band is better at its job of motivating fans then you truly are delusional. You said it yourself, if you team is not doing well then your band has nothing it can play.
Your fans cheer when you start pregame and then are bored for five minutes while watching the baton twirler lead a follow the leader in the "Incomparable Script Ohio." I cannot say for certain that Tiger Band does more for the fans than any band in the country because I have not seen all the bands in the country but we are definitely the best that I have seen.
Your band is good for band people. The script Ohio song is a nice song for classically trained musicians like us but it was evident not only at the game but also at that stupid battle of the bands pep-rally that your fans don't appreciate it. Tiger Band can get a louder response from the first impact of the drums at pregame than Ohio state can at any point in their show. You are not a bad band, just boring as hell.
haha no.. its just the time restraints on our show cut out our good shows.. the fans are actually insane and the sad part is most of the fans there were corporate morons. they only gave tickets to 5,000 students.. so it usually isnt this way. trust me.. we didnt like our show.. but whatever the tv wants, they get
... we really dont look to please you with our halftime show. osu band IS better than LSU's. LSU is a good band, not great. until every person in the band can memorize music, you cant claim any distinction. i loved the sideline music though and the fan interaction was GREAT. your fans love you! good job.
The LSU band plays a million different songs on the sideline, who cares if they have their music. As far as halftime goes they have it all memorized. OHIO has to memorize "sloopy" and dance moves to a drum cadance.
you played 6 songs honestly. we actually played more songs than sloopy. we turned to play to our fans (makes sense) so you wouldnt hear all of em. i count us playing 19 different songs but hey whatever
All right guys it is me or not...who likes the sexy bicep legth gloves on those stone clod drop dead foxy lsu dance teams members? I enjoyed the first :28 seconds. (:25-:28 weas great for me) Ladies what do you think of long bicep length gloves? Would you wear them if they weren't just part of a uniform?
I totally have to agree. OSU's band was EXTREMELY overrated. I had heard a lot about them and I was pretty disappointed. I never even heard them play during the game. Much less @ halftime... American heroes, like British agent James Bond?
A few pieces of smackdown advice before you come in here talking smack:
1) the inbred capital is in Big-10 territory. But don't take my word for it son, google "Lancaster County" and inbred. You will not find one parish/country anywhere in SEC that matches those numbers.
2) A man never debates football and leaves Jesse McCartney videos in his favorites. It's... well... gay!
Demand a refund on your EDU son, you are too stupid to debate Tigers!

no... as a music major, i know what im talking about... im not just saying it because OSU lost... OSU's marching band playes at a level un-touched by any other university band ever...
I am also a music major and I'm sorry but you're wrong. There are many other university bands that are much better than OSU and LSU is one of them! I will say that OSU looks great entering the field, but LSU looks like an army..and it's awesome to see them take a field.

the nation? more the like the nation of Ohio. Chris wells? yea. luck. Seeing as though that was about the only productive thing out of the Ohio State offense that night, I think luck would be a fair label.

Blue Devils are amazing. I love seeing them. I am only stating that OSU is extremely good and LSU brags too much,when maybe they are just more entertaining.Ohio University is more entertaining than OSU or LSU. No offense to me? Im in OSUMB and i was in the cavaliers championship a few years back. I would gladly put OSU against DCI, and know it would be a great competition. College does the 1 week show and DCI perfects everything. Maybe the future holds DCI vs College? No.. not a shako..please.
Nugent4Heisman 3 years ago
I respectfully disagree. No college band (in the current "show a week" set-up) could compete with a division I corp. And all in good fun, we may brag, but we also don't refer to ourselves as "the best damn band in the land" either... :)
GeauxTigers812 3 years ago 5
im saying if they had the same schedule, as in 1 show all summer,it would be interesting.The musicians at OSU are better on average the Cavaliers, and I think thats stunning The cavaliers have long been the class of DCI. we dont really call ourself that,our fans do,as does everyone else,so i mean at somepoint you have to just be like yea..i guess? no reason to argue with fans who support you.too often there isnt enough support in band programs,but clearly not a problem for either of our schools
Nugent4Heisman 3 years ago
The upbringing of any ohio state fan prevents any of the opposing arguments brought up on this forum from sinking in, but hey, at least everyone else can appreciate it. Ohio was clean, but bland and dull, and could not match the prowess of the Golden Band from Tigerland. You all are so wrapped up in your self-appreciation that you haven't seemed to notice just how lackluster you are.
GeauxTigers812 4 years ago
you dont know the upbringing of an osu fan. you guys are convinced you are all "faster". its called turf... its amazing isnt it. and chris wells? must have been luck
your entire attitude is the reason the sec bands are not considered elite. they think they are great when they have yet to do anything to stake that claim. i guess... even talking to some of the more openminded lsu bandmembers and having them admit the major flaws doesnt mean anything. who cares.. really..
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
No one ever said we were without flaws. But the simple truth of it is, Ohio State's Band is a relic. A fading representation of what things were like 'back in the day.' Its tired, outdated, and irrelevant to anything current. You may have National recognition, but as we learned from Notre Dames football team, you can only ride the coattails of the previous generations glory for so long.
GeauxTigers812 4 years ago
...except notre dame's football team.. sucks. they dont have the talent. we do. go ahead. ask the nation... ohh wait. they did last year and funny thing .. osu was named top still while lsu.. wasnt on the list of the top 10.. and that was done by band directors
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago

..are you serious? thats the most... baseless and illogical claim ever. we are not going anywhere. sorry. its not going to happen. you aren't going to take over and the fame of yesterday? id say we are pretty damn famous today, especially if we can attract the money of George Steinbrenner. i think you really need to analyze your facts before you start talking. you sound like a bitter woodwind whos trying to pick a fight for no other reason than to attempt to better your own cause
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
I'm bitter? when you have to resort to getting financial support as a means of justification for the quality of the program?
GeauxTigers812 4 years ago
. We spent 3 days preparing for our national championship performances, including limited rehearsal time between a slew of pep rally appearances. Ohio states band worked on their stuff for around 2 weeks.
tiger band received the combined halftime show (horrible btw) music just a couple days before the performance. And as someone already mentioned. I'd rather have a few members carrying music then have a member get caught on national TV saying "What the f*** am I doing?"
GeauxTigers812 4 years ago
YOU ARE WRONG! YOU DONT KNOW! OSU spent 2 hours on 3 nights before the trip reformatting and learning the pregame and halftime. WE DID NOT HAVE TWO WEEKS. sorry... im not sure where your information is from but once again, you are misinformedd and it just hurts your argument.
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
I would just like to say that the posts by this Nugent4Heisman character is a perfect example of why no one outside of ohio likes ohio state. Pompous self-righteous a**holes. That halftime show we performed was a variation of one of many that we learned over the course of the season. That show was first performed at least a month before the national championship.
GeauxTigers812 4 years ago
exactly as ours was. keep making claims trying to make yourself appear better than osu. call us assholes.. whatever. we dont really care what show you did, the fact was we came, did our thing, and left. the fact is you will never and could never be a member of TBDBITL even if you wanted to.
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
please? the only thing that would stop me from making that band is the fact that I play a woodwind, not that I would EVER seek membership, especially having experienced what a true collegiate marching band should be at LSU. The fact that you don't care seems to be a hard sell being as you are responsible for half the posts on this video. You sure say a lot for someone who "doesn't care."

Look. People could get on here all day and bash each other about who's band is better, but its not going to do anything positive. We can laugh at the fact that Ohio State bands kids have to walk around New Orleans in sweatshops and shako's, but then again they could laugh at LSU for... Nevermind
altosax1000 4 years ago
id much rather have a choice of what to wear.. shorts, tshirt, hoodie and sweatpants.. than be told what to wear. also its not a shako.. its a hat with a plume.. im not sure why that word still exists
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
what word? shako?
GeauxTigers812 4 years ago
the word shako still exists because band uniform companies still call them that. silly OOHI tidbittle member.
tigerdro 3 years ago
you're just about a month too late. Shakos and plumes are actually becoming different now. Plus, we wear plumes, not shakos, it is what is. Let me guess, our spats are "shoe covers" too?
Nugent4Heisman 3 years ago
shako is the hat, medallion, and plume combination with plume optional. look it up. spats are spats. spats and shako are old military terms. makes sense, since marching bands were originally military oriented (a tradition LSU Tiger Band still honors today with uniforms and some of its formations). The term shako goes all the way back to the Napoleonic wars. original shakos were tall and cylindrical, but they have developed to shorter styles over the years. never too late to set facts straight.
tigerdro 3 years ago
i get what it "is". the point is,nobody calls them that. and when they do,they refer to the plume. instead of trying to use a definition, u should analyze the implied meaning by others.that is the discussion. stay out if u cant understand context. i really dont waste time talking about this anyway.. whats the point?lsu is still convinced their band is among the best nationwide.well some of the people think that, others i talked to openly admit they are not a great band.but whatever doesnt matter
Nugent4Heisman 3 years ago
Speaking strictly for the record, around here, people still refer to that type of hat as a Shako. Maybe ya'll don't up north, but around here, everyone still call the actual hat a shako.
GeauxTigers812 3 years ago
Your team and your band got their azzes handed to them. And no one cares about your scripted OOHI except your fans & your pimps(ABC/ESPN). You were boring then & the rest of the game....SLOOPY.
CheshireCat1954 4 years ago
is sloopy all you got to rag on? first.. we get tired of it but the fans love it. but i definetly heard neck way more than sloopy and we were voted best band in college and greatest band tradition by fans, espn, and band directors of america. our band did not get our asses handed to us and until you actually are a band member, and actually have the experience of a college band and ability to properly gauge greatness, i lack respect for your ability to matter in the grand scheme of things
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
You mean when the SEC got little to no air time{still doesn't, compared to the pimping by ABC/ESPN of big10/pac10) back in the day.
CheshireCat1954 4 years ago
Hey Nugent - curious, when (if ever) did OOHI State win the Sudler Trophy(the Heisman of bands).
LSU won it in 2002.
Hang on Sloopy? That's the best your sophisticated bunch can do? LMAO
CheshireCat1954 4 years ago
I'm an LSU fan, but OSU won the Sudler Trophy in 1984...they were the 3rd school to win it, FYI.
romall4 4 years ago
correct. the first band to win it when directors picked. and it can only be awarded once. you are 18 years late. they already awarded all the elite bands by then. heck even florida must win eventually right? haha
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
so before you try and sound smart.. try again. and the sudler isnt a heisman of bands because it isnt a yearly competition. itd be more of an all century team.
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
of course, didn't michigan win it before you guys? and sadly enough, yeah, I guess someday florida will have to win it...once everybody else already has one.
romall4 4 years ago
michigan won it when sports writers picked.. ok? its no competition any more.. its osu and then michigan state who is an outstanding band. id say the top 5 big ten bands could compete with lsu.. but i will say LSU far outclasses every other band in the sec except Tenn.
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
LSU not elite? NOT SO FAST. Wiki says "LSU's Band hit its zenith 1970, named All-American College TV Band in a 1-time national contest sponsored by GM. After marching in Orange Bowl Parade on New Year's Eve and performing at halftime of the 1971 bowl game on New Year's Day, they flew to Cal. where they received AA College TV Band Award at the East-West Shrine Bowl. The trophy..confirmed LSU's prominence among the country's top university marching bands". Nugent, you need to quit "bloviating".
CheshireCat1954 4 years ago
haha.. do you recall the circumstances? the college tv band contest was never done again after that. why? because of the outrage of the directors in the communitry disagreeing with 1)the lack of elite bands and 2)the judging style in general. and you should know by know you can't quote wiki.. i could edit it. lsu is not an elite band. BUT THEY SERVE THEIR PURPOSE. take what the fans give you and be happy
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
It wouldn't surprise me that the Big 10/Notre Dame was crying that THEIR almighty bands didn't win. Yes, I do remember the SOUR GRAPES. Keep hanging on there SLOOPY!?!? LMAO, if it wasn't so pitiful.
CheshireCat1954 4 years ago
(we didnt enter the competition)
sorry. it was voted on by osu that they would not attend until they placed real judges into it and it became a well known event, which obviously that failed. sloopy is still better than T... I...G... never mind. and don't group us with notre dame. we never have or will support their band(which is a joke)
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
BTW....do you have proof of that vote somewhere? Sounds like Sour Grapes to me.
CheshireCat1954 4 years ago
we lost but had a blast anyways down partying with everyone. what a crazy year for football and the bcs standings week after week. not everyone will be happy with the bcs, but like the mafia says you got to give it your best shot!!! we came up short by 14 and we blew it, but till next time everyone have a great winter and smile and be happy!!! go bucks!!!

drmbeaufort 4 years ago
haha.. not true at all. LSU did NOT have their halftime music memorized, as displayed by the people shown on tv with their music. ANd if they had a million(which i know they have a lot, why only play 3). OSU has about 40ish but sloopy is the one that the fans get into. who knows why. wehave many more songs.. that just wouldnt fit a situation of being down big haha.. cant work.. and we dont have "dance moves" just simplistic stuff.. bitter sax player
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
You are correct, everyone doesn't have their music memorized for the halftime show but the majority of the band does. Most of what you saw on tv was probably people holding the music for the combined half-time because we got that music on the 4th and did not play it again until the combined rehearsal so only a few people could memorize that. But if you are having to resort to memorization of music being the mark of the better band then that is quite pathetic.
lsubone9 4 years ago
actually i am in osu's band. i saw you live. people hadn't memorized halftime, a show done previously. and yes, i great band has music memorized. having music takes away from the performance you know that. and you guys are not better than osu.. if you want to claim you're a different kind of band thats fine. but then i would say ohio university is better.. and they are
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
Your band sounds good for a northern band, your balance and tone are quite good, but you don't hold a candle to the raw power produced by our Golden Band. You might be the "Best Damn Band in the Land" up there, but like your football team you fall in the presence of the SEC.
lsubone9 4 years ago
what raw power? you guys aren't as loud as you think. you have 100 extra people.. and we still are there. we don't need to be judged by you. we have our fans, the nations respect and the awards to prove it. its for our fans and my guess is some sec fan will claim you guys can play faster
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
Your right. Your fans really love you. Maybe that is why by your own admission they only respond to one of your songs. (By the way, the 100 extra people are woodwinds and girls units which = useless for sound purposes) If you don't want to be judged by us then maybe you should not have judged first.
lsubone9 4 years ago
i disputed a claim. the lsu band and sec bands lack the musicianship the northern bands have. do what your fans love, i dont care. and i know what the extras are. and we actually only march 192 so theres 33 making no sound.. so you actually have many more on the field
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
Alright man, lets be honest. The biggest measure of the success of a college marching band is their interaction with the fans. That is the purpose of a college marching band. We can argue musicianship until we are blue in the face because there is really no evidence either of us can give that would prove either band has superior musicianship.
lsubone9 4 years ago
sounds good. your fan interaction is great! i mean they get it. they love it. come to the horseshoe and you have 105,000 people doing the same. if you ever get the chance to see a buckeye pregame at the shoe or even halftime.. but haha i guess that was like a homegame for you all wasn't it? there was a surprisingly large amount of buckeye fans there wasnt there? my biggest thing with lsu is those uniforms haha you dont like em do you?
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
The buckeye turnout was much better than I expected which is a great testament to your fans. It kept it from being the home game we expected but it was better that way. The SEC championship was basically a home game for Tennessee and it wasn't a whole lot of fun. Our uniforms are a product of tradition and are very iconic around here. It took me some time to get used to them but once you understand the tradition they symbolize they grow on you. I understand your concern with them though.
lsubone9 4 years ago
oh i totally get it. its just.. the color wow.. its.. different. and i get most people down south look at ours.. but once again tradition... its the only uniform of its kind anymore.. for better or worse
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
And you are grossly overestimating the negative impact of music on the field, the overwhelming majority of fans in a stadium cannot even see the flips and i would rather see a flip on TV than a trumpet player saying "I don't know what the fuck I am doing."
lsubone9 4 years ago
But if you think that your band is better at its job of motivating fans then you truly are delusional. You said it yourself, if you team is not doing well then your band has nothing it can play.
lsubone9 4 years ago
i didnt say that. we were playing nonstop to our fans. my guess once again is it wasn;t heard over there because of the fans screaming sec hahah
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
Your fans cheer when you start pregame and then are bored for five minutes while watching the baton twirler lead a follow the leader in the "Incomparable Script Ohio." I cannot say for certain that Tiger Band does more for the fans than any band in the country because I have not seen all the bands in the country but we are definitely the best that I have seen.
lsubone9 4 years ago
Your band is good for band people. The script Ohio song is a nice song for classically trained musicians like us but it was evident not only at the game but also at that stupid battle of the bands pep-rally that your fans don't appreciate it. Tiger Band can get a louder response from the first impact of the drums at pregame than Ohio state can at any point in their show. You are not a bad band, just boring as hell.
lsubone9 4 years ago
haha no.. its just the time restraints on our show cut out our good shows.. the fans are actually insane and the sad part is most of the fans there were corporate morons. they only gave tickets to 5,000 students.. so it usually isnt this way. trust me.. we didnt like our show.. but whatever the tv wants, they get
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
... we really dont look to please you with our halftime show. osu band IS better than LSU's. LSU is a good band, not great. until every person in the band can memorize music, you cant claim any distinction. i loved the sideline music though and the fan interaction was GREAT. your fans love you! good job.
Nugent4Heisman 4 years ago
The LSU band plays a million different songs on the sideline, who cares if they have their music. As far as halftime goes they have it all memorized. OHIO has to memorize "sloopy" and dance moves to a drum cadance.
altosax1000 4 years ago
you played 6 songs honestly. we actually played more songs than sloopy. we turned to play to our fans (makes sense) so you wouldnt hear all of em. i count us playing 19 different songs but hey whatever

A few pieces of smackdown advice before you come in here talking smack:
1) the inbred capital is in Big-10 territory. But don't take my word for it son, google "Lancaster County" and inbred. You will not find one parish/country anywhere in SEC that matches those numbers.
2) A man never debates football and leaves Jesse McCartney videos in his favorites. It's... well... gay!
