Whatever happened to this big house tradition...

They played Rocky & Bullwinkle at homecoming last Saturday (vs. Indiana).

is in long term care and Rocky took off for Vegas with Natasha years ago and has not been heard from since.

I hear the Bullwinkle theme played at almost every game... frequently when small sections of the band visit individual sections of the stadium

I miss Rocky & Bullwinkle...and since I don't sit in the student section for the few games that I am able to attend, it makes me very sad. Of course, when we win, the sadness goes away quickly.

That I'm aware of - the entire southwest quarter of the stadium - from section 21 to section 11 or so. Usually this happens in the third and fourth quarters. Probably goes on in other sections as well.

the terrier that pushed the ball across the field! And let's not forget recycling the Boone's Farm bottles at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Whiskey is probably getting a little long in the tooth to consider a comeback. 45 is kind of old for a dog. I do miss him though

is only 315 in dog years

That damn little dog did his thing in the first UM game I attended as a raw freshman in '71. It was hilarious. I think the crowd would go nuts if a new Whiskey was brought in. Especially if he/she took a dump on the visitor's sideline.

Rocky and Bullwinkle was largely killed by the previous band director, simply because he didn't like it. The full band hadn't played it in a long time, as I recall, as it had been relegated to a Fanfare Band song (the subset of the band made up of the top chairs from every section, they do smaller paid gigs and play around the Stadium in the 3rd quarter), and was usually only performed at Band-O-Rama or Crisler Concert during the Fanfare Band portion of the concert. The Stadium bands haven't played it for a long, long time.
Hopefully it comes back. It's a fan favorite, and could be a nice way to combat the canned music.

They're waiting for Rocko Khoury and Moosman lined up together to play it again.

I'm liking the RAWK a lot, but I still love the band. Especially, I love when the band breaks up and puts small groups throughout the stadium gates and wonders into each section. That can't be replaced.
