Troy Dannon trying his best to make the Sugar bowl feel like a home game for Texas
UW too cheap to get enough hotel rooms for the band. They must be really expensive right?

@MelloDawg are you going to cancel your 500 grand donation?

Never an issue when I was in school, they sent the whole band to the Sun Bowl of all places.
I imagine they’ll find a way to make it happen. Texas’s band is enormous, however, so it would look quite embarrassing if we sent a bunch of scrubs in soft pants. -
I got the coveted downvote from Mello without participating in the Tug.

What size do we typically send? Is it the same group that went to the Champ game? Are we fighting to get 150 there instead of 120? Would be interesting to know the numbers and who is being left out of the travel.
“But Stephanie has played the tuba the best on the scout team, and though she’s redshirting this year she deserves the trip”….. or are we just be stingy?
Please add more context and I’m sure the tree will appropriately shake if necessary. -
Including cheer/dance/mascots It's around 300 people. 60 got left out.Postal91 said:What size do we typically send? Is it the same group that went to the Champ game? Are we fighting to get 150 there instead of 120? Would be interesting to know the numbers and who is being left out of the travel.

Entire band has gone to every bowl game since 2011. Entire Band has gone to every New Years 6 Bowl since Jim Owens started coaching.
This is a pretty unprecedented move by the new AD. -
I remember a coach from late 80s perhaps bitching about travel roster limits. "But they're sending all the bandsmen!" I don't remember who or when it was, but the line continues to chortle me. /csb
-
Also, FYI to Jamaal, if that is his real name, they can work around all those limitations if they cared enough to do it (see: be willing to accept the price gouging of flying commercial and pay it.)
It was never a problem for Rose/Holiday/Sun. To be fair, we flew charter in those years but still….

I will agree that the band should ideally be there. But I will add that Mrs Housewives of Montlake left for LA with a big deficit in her wake. So to just flippantly say that UW has "plenty of $" may not be all that accurate.
Still, maybe put a call out to donators to help send the whole band. -

If someone can't sell this program to boosters and find new ones right now they need a new line of work... -
Our band was embarrassing compared to what Auburn brought with them in Atlanta in 2018.

Have you seen the Logo W at the ends of seasons and how there are chunks of people out of line in diagonals? No one misses the cut for this band.
At Ohio St, people go years before they’re allowed to march. -
Are you saying that they just need to identify as non-binary so they actually don't count against the numbers for the trip and everyone can go?SkipBoyd said:

Not surprising, was basically a home game for auburn and they start school before that game. that was probably less then 100 people. First game of the season a month before schools starts isn't going to be the same as a bowl game even if they payed up for the whole band. If UW cared about football they would move to a semester system so students would be there for the first three games.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:Our band was embarrassing compared to what Auburn brought with them in Atlanta in 2018.

Screw that. Semesters suck. You lose half of the summer. Those of us who relied on forest service and dnr jobs, mostly firefighting, to make the money we learned on for most of the school year would've been hosed.Bread said:

Just do it like this and tell the band it's the world's largest pajama party.Bread said:Maybe we shoild hire Navy's AD. He gets it.

I slept on these same cots at BOLC. However uncomfortable you think they are, it’s not enough. I bet the air force somehow has better cots.Bread said:Maybe we shoild hire Navy's AD. He gets it.

3 hots and a cot
