Del Conte's doing a great job overall but if he's not answering the question then I'm convinced that we'll never see the right color again.   So I guess we just get used to it. 

I'm in the camp that wants LHB marching into the opening as well. Currently, it just looks and feels like a freaking mess. There is no buildup at all to their appearance.

can we get that band director back from Miami or wherever, now, you know, because things are cool?

If our fanbase doesn't drive CDC into early retirement, he might be one of the mentally toughest people ever.

 

Honestly he really doesn't need to be listening to every dumb fuck with a twitter.

I like the shots of the crowd - student section especially. Also like how they pipe in some stadium anthems to get things going (the Mo Bamba shit is amazing).

That said... I was in section 19 and the band was non-existent. Couldn't hear them all game and couldn't tell when they started/stopped playing EoT. 

I'd like Wabash and more of the fight song and the T - E - X - A - S Texas Fight song (not sure of the name).

Idk. Can't please everyone. What mattered was the crowd showed up and was loud all game. Never going to complain when that is the case. 

(knock yourself out with the ad-hominem jokes)

I don't mind crowd shots, but there are too many and they are too long, at the expense of showing replays.  It irritated the crap out of me during the USC game.

Thank you! I think the band was playing it at one point because I saw the cheerleaders doing the T E X A S signs but we couldn't hear the band which fucking sucked. 

I guess I could stick around for the halftime show. But, y'know, gotta stay hydrated.

That's because this dumb question has been answered, John should be dick punched.

Why don't these assholes just STFU.  No one cares about your opinion and to think that the experience of 100K people should be molded to your ideals is regarded.  We are thus far lucky to have CDC and he's getting things done.  Don't make this guy hate his job or resent the fan base.

If you are thinking about Tweeting CDC for anything other than a pat on the back, put your phone down.  You are making an ass of yourself.

I mean, he sorta encouraged it by replying to them. Maybe he didn’t realize what he was getting himself into, but it’s not like he was born the day before he started here. I’m sure he knows exactly what kind of tweets he’s going to get. CDC is a big boy, I think he can handle it.

Getting back to the DKR-era tempo has been in the works for years.

Horse fertilizer.  I grew up playing the grooves off an LHB album recorded in the early ‘60’s.  Eyes was not played at the tempo Hanna is conducting.

Crider - LOL.  Ever wonder why she wore aggy boots while she was LHB director?  She wanted to be aggy during her college years (and apparently beyond), but they weren’t coed at the time.  She had to “settle” for LHB.

Everybody loves to complain about the band director. Back in '99 everyone complained about Sedatole when he came in to replace Crider. A few years later the kids who leaned under Sedatole couldn't stand Carnochan. Now you're complaining about Hanna and longing for Carnochan.

Funny thing is that Hanna has been around over 20 years, going back to time as a grad assistant under Crider. It's not like he just showed up and started screwing with traditions.

Regarding all the complaints about The Eyes, I remember from my time in LHB/LHAB learning that the song had always been played fast under DiNino because that's the way DKR liked it. It got gradually slower over the years, but whenever DiNino would conduct, he'd push the tempo. Getting back to the DKR-era tempo has been in the works for years.

The eyes sure don't sound like this anymore.

It's not in his job description to tweet back and forth is it? If he gets sick of it, he can just stop doing it or pass his twitter off to the interns, if he hasn't already.

THIS is how LHB should march in...

Cadence, Fight, cadence, Grandioso, cadence, Victory March.

Somebody tweet at CDC to put the track back in

I’ve seen the 30 years of jerseys tweet multiple times now. 

But did we not just recently change the helmet decal to match the jersey?  I’d have preferred changing the jersey to match the darker helmet decal.  Burnt orange is dark. What we are using is just orange, like osu.

But if the jersey color hasn't changed, then does that mean we haven't been using burnt orange for decades?

Inquiring minds...

and what color was the decal, what color is it now?  Or was that a materials change?

Sweet video.  That's how I always remember them coming in. Back when you could head onto the sidelines with about 5 minutes left in the 4thQ and get player's autographs after the game.

!988.  My senior year on the 40 Acres.  Now this is an entrance setting the pace for the game.  The band needs to be more involved throughout.  I really miss their grand entrance.  Sure beats "Out of Africa"!! What type of hype song was that before the TCU game started?!!!

Don't need a track. Timing and songs.

That’s actually depressing to watch now.

We used to march in like that at Texas/OU as well. It was pretty great.

This one time, at band camp...

Awful lotta band nerds in here. NTTAWWT

During my four years at UT it seemed I drew tickets right behind the band for each game. Had to stand just about the whole damn game. Back then, unless you went to college station, nobody stood up the entire game.

Was thinking that too. But then went on over an hour on u tube looking at LHB pre game performances.

 Hook em!

You are correct. This aggy-like standing the whole game business is a recent phenomenon.

Who gives a shit if they stand or sit?

We didn't want to stand/sit, stand/sit, stand/sit, among other reasons, because we might spill our scotch.
