New LSU policy bans opponents’ marching bands from halftime performances at Tiger Stadium

What bandmember's safety exactly are they concerned about? Those fighting tigers are about to dissolve what little goodwill they have stored up in the SEC.

Ya know, I have a buddy that marched in the MDB that told me crazy shit about playing LSWho road games. Those stupid, inbred coonasses would do shit like spitting loogies on, and throwing Ziploc bags full of piss on the band as they were lining up to march onto the field.

It wouldn't surprise me if LSWho brass received numerous complaints about shit like that from opponents bands. So knowing they can't control their idiot fans' behavior, they just keep opponents bands off the field.

Bitch move.

 

[doemasters]

I wonder if other teams will do the same to the LSU band

I don't doubt that at all. Those coonasses are, well, something else.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Must be the same bunch of intellectuals that recently tried to hire a new coach.

 

[sean]

all other sec teams should respond in kind.....

by refusing to offer tickets to their fans that want to travel to away games. and if they see someone wearing an lsu shirt while trying to get into the game, refuse them entry and say it's for their own safety.

and if they have a problem with it?

fuck 'em, it's lsu. they're the lowest common denominator, anyway.

Why did LSU really want the Alabama band to stay home? I'll give you a hint: It begins, "HEY TIGERS!" Knowing that they couldn't single out ours, they took the extraordinary step of effectively excluding everybody's band.

 

[OldPlayer]

Two bits of good news. Alabama will most likely still send a smaller band to the game so "HEY TIGERS!" will still be heard. I guarantee you that most SEC schools will likely apply the same logic to LSU's band specifically.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Bama should still send the full band. Fuck LSU.

 

[planomateo]

My opinion, the LSU / Bama game has been the best series in college football in the last 8-9 years. Easily the game I look forward to the most all season long.

This one's perhaps.

Read that they travel their band to only one road game per season. This gives them the excuse to eliminate that one also.

Avella strikes again!

The LSU athletic director has banned Alabama football from performances lasting four quarters in Tiger Stadium, citing safety reasons.
ICYMI: Markail Benton Says Alabama Has Better Coaches Than Auburn
On Friday, The Advocate reported that LSU instituted a policy last season that prevented visiting team’s bands from performing at halftime due to safety reasons.

After realizing the effectiveness of this rule, LSU decided to take things one more step to display their strenuous measures to protect safety.

A source within the athletic department informed us that the Alabama football team would not be allowed to perform on the field in Tiger Stadium from this point forward.
“For the last several seasons, most LSU fans knew what was coming when the Tide came to Baton Rouge. With this knowledge, there were always safety concerns as so many inebriated LSU fans stampeded toward the gates to make their early exits and get to their waiting pirogues”, the source said.
The source also indicated that without the Alabama football team on hand for the game, LSU fans could sit and enjoy the entirety of the game in a relaxed state and get to see their Heisman hopeful running back rush for more than 93 feet against an Alabama football team that wasn’t present.
Other SEC teams may soon follow with the new ruling which in turn, could help the Tigers to at least get to play for the college football national championship that has eluded them since the 2007 season.

In case you are wondering, none of this is true except that LSU did ban visiting team’s bands from performing at halftime because they are concerned with safety hate college football and all of its pageantry.

Looks like he was just showing Les and the boys where that 50-yard line ended?

 

[rueben]

Probably started because of the MDB. They held Fournette to 31 yards rushing last year.

I wonder if Alleva has realized he's got another PR issue to address ...

That's the thing about stupid. It never takes long before you have to revisit it.

 

[bamachine]

They can keep the ban, only allow them to send the Golden Girls to Tuscaloosa.

LSU just had an addition to their stadium. Along the way of its construction, one of the comments made had to do with Bama fans and how far up they were going to be moved on game days.

The new seating was in place last year. Did the opposing bands get relocated as well?
