    Some here believe that unless you are a season ticket holder (or former player), you have no right to say anything. But since you are both, rant away.

    Oh, and I disagree about it being high schoolish.

    Thanks for your honesty! You are probably right, I wish my high school would have said "move the chains" more often... I am so proud we have fans @ game to cheer whatever the hell they want. You should see what goes on in Monroe... I try to support them, but it is so embarrising what takes place...

    I agree...a season ticket holder and player can have his opinion. So, I have no problem with you. Go ahead and have your say.

    You are too picky. It's not high schoolish at all. I would tell you if it was. We're not the NFL, where there's no bands and very little organized cheering. It's a lot of fun.

    Thibnk about Texas A&M. They do "organized" cheers all the time with the student body.

    Of course, you're from Monroe, so what do you know.

    We need to start recruiting students who are more resourceful. This is ridiculous.

    2 hours? You driving the Cessna or the Beechcraft for that trip?

    But yes, it is an easy trip. It is ridiculous the full Tech contingent is not going. This should have been planned 2 years ago.

    I think it's really cheesy too. I don't like it either but trust me we are definitely in the minority on this one Monroe Dawg. But then again compared to singing You Are My Sunshine at the games its not bad.

    If our "fans" (including our spirit groups and BOP) can't attend a game at Southern Miss, they likely can't attend a road game ANYWHERE. That's as close as it's gonna get unless LA Tech joins the LHSAA Class District 2-5A with Ruston and West Monroe.

    Overheard the band director talking about an invitation to march in a parade in Homer. Said that would cost $7,000. for buses, meals and cleaning the uniforms. For the Southern Miss game, if they weren't planning on having the band in until Sept 2, then that would require supporting the band for at least a week earlier than planned.

    Would love to have them at the game but when looking at the numbers, it just don't fit the budget.

    We don't need the entire band at USM. We don't even need the band director if he doesn't want to go. We need SOMEBODY at Tech to organize enough folks to be heard.

    For Southern Miss they wouldn't wear their wool uniforms so those wouldn't need cleaning. Because they wouldn't be performing on the field, they can wear their t-shirts and shorts and throw them in with their regular laundry. That wouldn't cost the band a dime. The point is that the band has never tried to raise money to my knowledge. They just say they don't have enough funding and don't try to do anything about it. According to Robken, they have no plans to make it to Mississippi State either, but they will try to send the pep band to Ole Miss. The band's priorities don't appear to be aligned with the goals of our athletic department. They should've tried to make the USM trip happen before ever considering Ole Miss or the parade in Homer.
