Unless the band was treated really poorly by OSU fans, which is entirely possible, and everyone knew how to play he song somehow, I'd doubt this was true.

It's a very popular marching band song
My kid learned it the first year of playing an instrument. Also "On Wisconsin."

Damn, wish I was better at trumpet when I was 8 or whatever. Maybe I would have learned it. Instead I was always last chair.
Or like, the coolest kid in the band.

re: Carroll-averse
Er, why? Carroll has about as much to do with USC's band as Rodriguez has with Michigan's. Appreciate USC's band director if it's true. :-)

It's the USC Band. I would not be surprised in the least.

I would be.
Have you ever heard the USC band? They only know that one song. And they play it over and over and over and over and over and over again.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:05 PM

that just gives them more time to learn The Victors
I want this rumor to be true. therefore, it happened.

Incorrect. They know two songs. The fight song, and that other song where everyone holds up the 'V' and they play it over and over and over and over again.

Yeah, apparently..

Three songs...didn't they play back-up for Fleetwood Mac on "Tusks" ???

Not to be contrary, but the
Not to be contrary, but the reason they play that song over and over again is because they score a lot of touchdowns. Here's hoping people accuse the M band of a limited repertoire after this season.

#317
I'm sure we have some current
I'm sure we have some current or former U of M band members that can confirm this, but I've heard that both MSU and OSU fans are just absolutely terrible towards our band members in their stadiums. If they gave it to the USC band half as bad as they give it to us, they deserve this bit of salt in their wounds.

Wait, do you mean to tell me that the USC band played something OTHER than Fight On and Tribute to Troy? Get out.

Not surprised
The USC band is a bunch of classless douchebags and this would just be another instance of them being what they are. John Williams (wrote the music for Star Wars and a bunch of other awesome stuff) once did a special arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner for the pregame of a Rose Bowl and during rehersal for it he corrected some members of the USC band for playing part of it incorrectly and they responded by booing and hissing him.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:11 PM
#327
Yep
Yeah, that happened. I think the USC band is even worse to be around than the OSU band. However, playing the Victors is hysterical and gets a huge thumbs up from me.

OSU's band isn't even that
OSU's band isn't even that bad. I know a few of them, and they were very nice. When it comes to bands, here's the sh*t list:
1. USC
2. Wisconsin
3. Stanford
September 14th, 2009 at 1:09 PM
#329
Cannot confirm this, but...
I do know that they did play "All Right Now" at the end of the game, meaning that even if they didn't play the Victors, they did play another school's "Fight Song" as it were.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:13 PM
#330
while satisfying, a little sad...
... that it has gotten to the point where USC has to play the victors at an end of an OSU game, since we haven't been performing well as of late in the series.
Tide's a turning, though. Tide's a turning.

What does our performance have to do with USC taunting our biggest rival? I'm all for it =)

I didn't hear it and I was pretty close to the band after the game. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I can tell you firsthand I did not hear it after people started filing out.

In addition to spelling
In addition to spelling Karsch's name wrong, he write "omit" when it should clearly be "admit." Not to mention other obvious grammatical errors. Not one to normally nit-pick grammar, but he seemed like a douche.

Ira on WTKA says it didn't
He mentioned this morning that he called USC's band director to ask.
Band director indicated they don't know the song, and didn't play it. "Would be classless" etc, etc.
