The disappointing aspect of taking down the whole band-uh is that all bandsmen are penalized due to the actions (real or perceived) of alleged bad actors, with most of the alleged actions taken place off-campus at parties that are not official band-uh function (at least from what I have seen). As Fugawe09 has said - some of what allegedly happened is not tradition, and I am not defending any of that.

Does anyone really believe that changing the name of the band-uh and wearing new uniforms will change any perceived issues? Will a pear become an apple simply because you call it an apple. Add that to a unscientifically designed evaluation survey with a control or contrast group is pretty embarrassing for a University that supposedly prides itself in academics. Alas it seems to be convenient fodder to supply to sycophants (i.e., California Aggie and Sacramento Bee) to reverse engineer a desired outcome. Mark Twain said “never get in a argument with someone who buys ink by the barrel”.

It will be interesting to see what will transpire during the first home game. I suggest that the section normally occupied by the band-uh, be left empty with a sign proclaiming “This space intentionally left blank – RIP Cal Aggie Band-uh”. There will be no “Aggie Fight” after Aggie TDs, no “hot time” at turnovers - no alma mater to sing – no pregame show. When I was in the band, the band-uh was essentially the entire rooting section at away games – what now? The band-uh was famous for being loyal and spreading Aggie Spirit and Pride. The administration has essentially killed that – throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I guess the goal of the administration is to have a generic, high-school-type band dressed in polyester pajamas march corp-style like 90% of the other bands now.

Looks like both the Ags and Poly could use some defensive help. Weber 24-10 early in third quarter.

Weber comes back with 2 TDS. Have found a little offense. There defense, by in large is pretty stout. Good game.

yah. Humboldt band made the Aggie Band look tame. Their women were beyond the pale. Kind of ironic.

Interesting that poly can’t run but can pass against Weber.

USD obviously up for this one and they played a hell of a game. Give them credit. Just shows how unpredictable college football can be when you are dealing with 18-21 year olds. Exception is BYU. You can add 2 years of age there.

I think USD played better to some extent today. USD defense isn’t exactly stellar.

Dayton -a lower tear pioneer team beat Indiana state of MVFC

Head coach Dale Lindsey said it was a fumble and kind of got on his back for being to cute with the ball. He is a very straight shooter.

D played better last week regardless. Aggie D needs to be able to stop running game especially in second half. Either lack of depth or just get tired.

Explosive offense only reason Ags won. Is Bland out all season?

Which LBs are injured?

Reminds me of Idaho state game (element of luck) although it wasn’t really an ag comeback.

Need to clean up turnovers and work on defense.

Wow. I need a stiff drink. At least 2 great D plays at end. Aggie defense needs to figure some things out.

Forget about rankings. Just perform

No pressure on qb

You could see that one coming. More bodies than defense

Their RB is simply running with more desire.

Seems like little line penetration today.

They never listen to me

Kick it out of the end zone
