🏈 When did the MDB start playing the Band of Brothers theme pregame (before the Anthem)?

Still the greatest ever…

@OldPlayer I agree. That was an epic flyover. 2005 if memory serves correct. It jarred the ground he was so dang close to the new construction. (so it appeared). One of the old guys I hunt with was the Asst Fire Chief in Tuscaloosa at the time. He said the two-way radios went ballistic because they thought the stadium had been attacked.

As it was coming overhead, I remembered (just in time) to plug my ears. That was an unbelievable and unparalleled fly over. I have had season tickets for 23 years and none have been even remotely close to that flyover. What you don't see in the video is after the jets clear the stadium, the two fighter jet escorts tilt 90 degrees and shoot straight up as the refueler keeps on it's path. That was badass to the nth degree.

Yeah I was at that game also. Never seen anything like that before or after.... Was unexpected which added to how spectacular it was.
