If you could steal one college football tradition (winning excluded) , what would it be?

I would like to see our band embrace that they are the worst band in the SEC and be like Stanford's or Virginia's band.

Can you imagine if the FMB went to Alabama and made fun of their trailer trash in the halftime show?

Result: The governor of Oregon banned the Stanford band from entering the state for three years.

<span>This doesn't even include the stadium salute that really gets the place going. What kills me is the fans are clapping and getting into it as they walk on to the field. Not to mention that the golden girls show more badass attitude that most of our recent football teams.

In my limited experience in other SEC Stadiums, that would probably be the one. The eagle at Auburn is cool, but I doubt Bully could pull off something quite like that.

As far as something that MSU is going to start doing (I think), is the team singing the alma mater after every game. I like that.

I was at the 1999 UCLA-Stanford game and saw their performance which poked fun at the UCLA players being involved in the handicapped parking scandal.

In 1997, the Band was again disciplined for shows lampooning Catholicism and the Irish at a game against Notre Dame. The Band put on a show entitled "These Irish, Why Must they Fight?" Besides the mocking supposedly stereotypical Irish-Catholic behavior, there was a Riverdance formation, and a Potato Famine joke, drawing criticism<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-StanfordNews_5-0"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span> for its "tasteless" portrayal of Catholics. Both the band and the Stanford President Gerhard Casper subsequently apologized for the band's behavior. <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CLarticle_6-0"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span>

In 2004, the Band drew national attention and Mormon ire for joking about polygamy during a game against Brigham Young University. The Dollies appeared in wedding veils with the Band Manager of the time kneeling and "proposing" to each in turn as the announcer referred to marriage as "the sacred bond that exists between a man and a woman... and a woman... and a woman... and a woman... and a woman."

Pregame, just before the team comes out, a student (dressed as Larry Templeton, maroon blazer of course) comes barreling through the marching band set up in a go-cart version mini winnebago. He gets out midfield and beats the **** out of the opposing teams mascot (staged of course) with a whiskey bottle or a gigantic white bone. All the while over the busted loud speakers, the real Larry recounts the time when things were done his way around here, like when you had to walk around his <17>n' RV to get in the stadium. Then it just ends, props are removed and there is 5 minutes of awkward silence.
What do you think?

Both teams walked on the field in respect for those who suffered through the Hurricane. At first, it looked like Miss. State was intentionally walking on the field as a show of badass attitude.

I got to thinking....how badass would it be for The Mississippi State University, after making the opponents run onto the field, to simply WALK through the band at the start of the game, crowd building to a crescendo, until the place was at a roar. Only when they get to the sidelines do the players run and jump and go crazy like every other football team in America.

But seeing Chief Osceola plant that flaming spear at the FSU 50 is electric. and I know its taken some flack in other post, rubbing Howard's Rock and running down the hill is cool.

I could hear what they are playing.

I remember when we could have had that problem. Long long ago, in a place 105 miles away or so.

Now, we can hear our band loud and clear.

Auburn started doing that either during or the year after the undefeated season. Link arms together and walk onto the field and through the band..
I think they did finally start running when enterting the spread of the A though.
