Also, the pep band is returning!

Wait, how do all those classically trained Music majors do the pep band thing? Love it, I hope Alfred brings their Pep Band and you have battling bands at half time. I grew up going to a bunch of Ivy football games and the halftimes were awesome with a themed halftime with both bands,  topics narrated by the announcer, mostly tongue in cheek stuff.....except for Cornell that had a straight up boring marching band. Bring all the bands back!.

The Pep Band is actually open to all students!

Also, there's gonna be a beer garden

This is all awesome.  I could never understand why a college with a great music school didn't have a pep band. Will be a major plus for atmosphere.

I wrote a story for the college news site about the history of the band! It should be live today, and when it is, I'll link here

This is great , football is more than just about the athletes on the field , it is about a community celebrating what has become an awesome cultural experience and music can be a big part of that experience. I'm jealous of colleges that have active bands, although one of the best parts of a Hobart win is the whole team gathering in a circle after the coach's remarks, raising their helmets  and singing the Alma mater, ending with...."raise the Orange and Purple high, let us shame them never, shout the Triumph to the sky...HIP HOBART FOREVER !

I enjoy the E8/LL matchups and hope the LL surprises and goes over 500.

I think Union gets beaten soundly tomorrow. I really like their D but I think they will need to carry the load once again this week and they will struggle to play as well as they did last week (and I thought they played VERY well last week). 

I see our offense having another tough week. They will make a play here and there, but for another week this young offense will fail to carve out an identity. I believe they will have a hard time sustaining drives, and struggle to pass the ball effectively. I'm not trying to knock the U as I do believe they are a decent team and will compete this season. I just don't think they have enough to beat Cortland. Please prove me wrong Union.

I just can't do another year of this SLU coaching. We've been patient for a long time, simply fed up with the nonsense now. This is a well funded program with lots of resources and it gets squandered year after year.  There is no reason why a d3 football staff cannot scheme defensive adjustments to prevent getting beat the by same basic play for 4 quarters. I just watched their opponent run a curl route to the slot for a 1st down on the same side of the field 20 times with SLU defensive backs playing 10 yards off the LOS every single one of these snaps. 

Just horrendous. We don't expect much as is, but this has reached an untenable situation. Unfortunately, it's a helpless situation as the administrations thinks that spending on facilities is all that matters.  Who cares that money gets lit on fire every year between football and hockey, all that matters is the updated facilities apparently.
