October 15, 20205 yr This weekend was the first game I've been to without the LHB. I didn't miss them at all. Why not have halftimes in Austin Super Bowl style. Surely the "Live Music Capital" can find a band for 6 halftimes every year. Give the money spent on uniforms and band scholarships to a food bank. They don't want to play "the Eyes" anymore, and haven't we all skipped enough half time shows?
October 15, 20205 yr I take it you got your rep through widespread admiration of your sardonic wit and social situation observations.
October 15, 20205 yr Author Does anyone even watch the halftimes anymore? Seriously, I try and watch out of respect for all the work they put in. But I can't say I really look forward to it. Maybe it's time to move on.

October 15, 20205 yr At halftime of the hotter-than-hell Arkansas game in 2008(?) during ACL Asleep At The Wheel played at halftime; was pretty badass...

I do that sometimes, but I've tried to see at least some of it at games I attend. I respect all of the work that goes into it, but it doesn't even seem like they are into it anymore so why not have local bands at half time. Edited October 15, 20205 yr by 927 E. 41st
October 15, 20205 yr Popular Post The way the football program is going, I'm suggesting we feature them at halftime sandwiched between two halves of the Longhorn Band performing.
October 15, 20205 yr Popular Post Yes, let's just make college football more and more and more like the NFL. That's just a fantastic idea!! Fucking idiots....

October 15, 20205 yr Divisive bs from the band will never end well. Know your place and know your audience.
October 15, 20205 yr The Eyes thing will solve itself. The Administration has made it clear they expect it to be played. Anybody who has an issue with that won't join the LHB.

October 15, 20205 yr Halftime shows are boring, I agree, but that's in general. The band marching down San Jac before the game? I'm down. That shit hypes me up. Sitting behind the band at TX-OU 2 years ago? I actually enjoyed it, hearing our band play Our fight song after picking off Kyler Murray and scoring a TD? That shit was tight as fuck. My favorite part of the highlights was seeing the band go crazy as Sam punched touchdowns in and flashed the HookEm. If we ever make it to a national championship again, you're God-damned right I want the band announcing our fucking presence in a March to the stadium. TL;DR: Kiss my ass.
October 15, 20205 yr If you deprive me of my fucking wabash cannonball i swear to fucking darrell k royal himself i will find you and give you a stern talking to.
October 15, 20205 yr just get rid of the eyes all together besides texas has a ready made song to take its place as the tradition & hire an hbcu band director = all team social issue problems solved
October 15, 20205 yr LHB alumni here. Playing June 27 during the VY era was the most recent height of LHB. That and actual entertaining half-time shows. Amorphous sets on the field are...meh. Cacking down on the trombones playing BoneTell in all four corners of the stadium for alumni day is sad, too. We need to loosen up and fun needs to resurrect.

October 15, 20205 yr bruh that is drippy is there video of this moment? Wish I had one. One of those pregame moments.
October 15, 20205 yr Get woke go broke! Definitely don’t win with this bullshit that’s for sure. I’m down with the band blasting DJ Screw though. Or maybe some Sauce Walka.

October 15, 20205 yr This would be so sick for a marching band to cover. Surprised there isn't a video of a band attempting it, but it's not the most tasteful song I guess. Dude, yes. You can't just turn your back on Htown sound. That is a perfect song to adapt.

October 15, 20205 yr I helped organize a Greeks vs independents football game years ago. Halftime entertainment was a Frisbee catching dog. His owner just charged a nickel bag of weed and the fans stayed glued to their seats
October 15, 20205 yr Why even have the game at DKR? Just live stream it from a warehouse. Teams don’t need uniforms either.

But y'all do know what will happen if Belmont gets to change halftime, right? I hope you're excited about Halftime Presented by Yeti featuring Cardi B and Tim McGraw.

October 15, 20205 yr I think the eyes will blow over eventually. The band is stubborn, but they generally do what they're told. This may be different as it's dealing with social justice issues instead of being told not to yell "OU can lick my balls" but I think it'll blow over eventually. You'd also have to change every song because almost every song they play has a variation of the eyes in it

You'd also have to change every song because almost every song they play has a variation of the eyes in itIt's not all of LHB, just some it seems. UT Detroit, Strong Eyes, Calypso, March of the Longhorns. I'm sure I'm missing one or two but two of those are played during pregame. Calypso sometimes gets played in the stands. UT Detroit usually gets played once in the stands. Strong Eyes usually gets played seen defense gets to third down (lol).
October 15, 20205 yr We need to start winning or fire Herman because this website clearly cannot handle the current reality of Texas football.
