</div><div>The fact that this was the band and not just some random USM fans isn't really shocking either. I hate we scheduled these polyester wearing ne'er-do-wells.</div><div id="isChromeWebToolbarDiv" style="display:none"></div>

Idiots. Did they dust off "General Nat" for this event, too?

..but this is about as ignorant as it gets.


Benefit of the doubt...ended.


And just think: Band members are supposed to be the "smart kids."


Just think what moronic embarrassments the typical USM students are.

But you've got to draw the line somewhere. And I think "yelling anything that could be taken as racist in unison while wearing school logos" is probably where that line begins...

But I have to wonder had the Stanford band done this, would this have been an issue?
Or would it just be seen as another "cute" thing they do.

re the basketball program, it would have been front page news. It being USM, nobody really gives a damn.

Chanting "where's your green card" to a hispanic player?!?! Seriously? First of all it ticks me off because crap like this plays right into the hand of those who love to accuse us who support enforcing our immigration laws of being racially prejudiced. Secondly, they guy is from Puerto Rico so the buzzard band are indeed racially prejudiced or very stupid....or both.
