No FSU band

Advertisement
Even if FSU paid for the extra tickets for their band, FSU could seat their band in one of the designated lower level visitor sections. However, that would mean fewer lower level seats to sell to their boosters. That would subsequently force those boosters to sit in those overflow upper deck seats where the band is placed.

The rest of it is fine, if they wanna make **** up and say we throw food at them or we give them terrible seats, that’s fine. Don’t care. But if it’s true we told them they can’t perform at halftime, that’s foul. And petty. I’m usually too busy doing key bumps in the bathroom at halftime to notice, but I’m pretty sure they’ve performed in the past, no? If so, and this year we said no, that’s BS. Let them bring their ****** band and play the 1 song those dorks can learn.

I’d love to know the real story about the discussion that were had about their halftime performance.

Yes, but I heard that F$U wanted their halftime show to be a tribute to the prog-rock band Yes, with the band playing Sides 1 through 4 of Tales From Topographic Oceans...

So we were justified in saying no (to Yes)...

I don’t understand why it is our job as the home team to placate their band and fans to not play music over that chant and give them a home field type of advantage. It is nuts. Are we supposed to hand out canapés and warm towelettes on their way in too or would just providing them amplifiers be enough to make them comfy? It wasn’t an issue in 1992 when UM handed out 70k kazoos to drown out the band.

F$U demanded that we seat their band in Club LIV, give them black lot parking and a separate entrance into the stadium, club-level food selection, and a reimbursement expense account for any dry-cleaning associated with thrown food and/or beverages that damaged their uniforms.

They also asked that we bring Jay Rokeach out of retirement to introduce their band and name the songs being played, as well as stadium amplification anytime and everytime they choose to play that motherfvcking Warchant.

Finally, for the halftime show, they requested that we hire James Brown's former valet to hold their drum major's cape, and a full-field drop-cloth so that it could catch any earrings or contact lenses that any band member loses during the performance. I am not sure if this is a related issue, but I also heard that they wanted us to pre-cut a piece of sod from the field for their "Sod Cemetery".

F$U claimed that the Sugar Bowl gave them all of the above concessions, plus they converted all the toilets in the stadium to bidets.
 
I heard it's because their changing their mascot from the Seminoles to the Gloryholes. In that context the chant is very off-putting.
