Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

quote:

The Stanford marching band showed an unparalleled level of disrespect with that stunt they pulled. The fact that Stanford employs ****** bags such as their band director is appalling.

quote:

Iowa isn't stuck in the 50's. And if it were, why should that be made fun of?

quote:

These people think they are ALL so intellectual and put themselves on quite the pedestal and there is nobody smarter than them.

quote:

I consider them a slap in the face to true marching bands which require mental focus and military-style precision. I watch the DCI National Championship each year, and if any band came in with the Stanford "marching band" type of show, they would never even qualify. The DCI Champions are what marching bands should strive to be.

quote:

Freedom of speech is a privilege and with that freedom comes great responsibility and respect. I have seen in recent years that precious gift of freedom that many men and women fought for has been manipulated.

So what could have caused such an outrage?

The Stanford Band used a cow during the Rose Bowl halftime show.



Some more outrage.

I honestly I have no idea who cannibal[SIC] is and I do not know why I should know.

syq dude, just syq!
The problem is that the midwest can't understand cows unless they are also made of pure butter. Also they communicate in a language that can only be spoken with thick layers of fat surrounding the vocal chords.

Fascinating culture.

iirc the Stanford band is student run, and widely recognized as a complete farce of an organization who's stated goal is to be disrespectful and lovely to opposing teams. also they got completely owned in that one game vs cal and never recovered so now they're all institutionally buthurt forever lmao

yeah, rip.
yeah it's definitely the cow. the cow is the reason they're mad.

absolutely nothing to do with having their anuses kicked the gently caress in by Stanford and losing by 29 points.

I believe that they were also pissed because the Stanford band played the Farmers Only theme, as well as the cow.
