Sorry if this has already been posted.... I heard on 97.1 the ticket this afternoon that there is a rumor that USC's band played "The Victors" at the end of the OSU game. Can anyone confirm this?

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.

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. :-)

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.

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.

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.

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 |
Yep
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.

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.

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.
