It came from the administration who at the time (when YouTube and Facebook were just starting to become popular) felt that the possibility of "suggestive" dance moves being posted online would ruin the hockey band director's chance of employment at other schools. However, I and many others debate the suggestiveness of a white guy flailing around to Blues Brothers or any other hockey band song.

36 weeks 4 days ago	Drove in from OKC	We left Norman after I got home from work on Friday and it's a rather uneventful drive between Norman and the Dallas area. We got stuck in construction traffic about 30 miles north of the Red River behind a Dodge Charger with Alabama Crimson Tide plates. The traffic in the Dallas area is much scarier than in OKC and we haven't been in Dallas for a couple of years, so it took a while to get my bearings. We stayed at the Sheraton near the airport (thanks, Hotwire, for the sweet deal) which was also hosting some kind of workshop weekend for parents with unruly children, but thankfully, we didn't spend a lot of time there. Parking at the stadium was surprisingly easy and we met up with friends quickly. The game was... Well, everything has already been established about that. We were able to get out of our parking lot very quickly and back to our hotel as fast as possible because all I wanted was a shower and forget about the day. The day after, we had to drive the 3 hours back and all I could think of was napping.

1 year 26 weeks ago	When I was a senior in the	When I was a senior in the marching band, Bo came to speak to us during Band Week that August. I remember being in awe of him, as were all of the other MMB members. When he passed, my grandma left me a voicemail, saying how sorry she was, as if I'd lost a member of my family. It's a testament to him as a person that, five years out, it's as if he never left.

You have to pay the lab fee to cover costs, but it's like auditing the course and I didn't get credit for it like Ann Arbor students did. There were four other Dearborn students who were also in the band at the same time I was.

If you want to know what that feels like, it's like putting your face in front of an open oven. My AC is set to 80 and that seems like a relief when compared to what's outside. When we came back to visit relatives in the Detroit area last week, it was breathtakingly fresh feeling. I can handle the heat, but the humidity here is killer.

Their students climbed on the south goalpost in an attempt to bring it down; they were summarily brought down off the post with the pepper spray cannon. The only bright spot of the day was watching OSU students fall off the goalpost like flies who had been sprayed with Raid.

My sister was a State fan out of spit but now she's a Michigan fan even though she goes to Western. My parents never went to college, but for some reason, they had two sweatshirts with Snoopy and Woodstock on them that said, "Michigan Cheers!" I distinctly remember the 1997 UM/OSU game because I watched it while making out with my boyfriend of the time (it was freshman year in high school, football and making out were the two most important things to me).   The fiance and I are graduates of this fine establishment, were in the MMB, and are now currently hardcore fans deep in the heart of Soonerland.
