Football "Field Suite"

[It's the Journey...]

I thought the band has always entered from the Northwest corner of the stadium. The Northeast corner is where the football locker room is and the South area is where the ROTC, Falcon Club, Bookstore, and Falcon Kids Club area is.

So where's the band come into the stadium then?

We're told that we will be entering from the North side of the stadium now, which is nice, because we can chair when we hit the 'grass' again. We havn't done that in two years.

I heard they were dumping the marching band program and instead hired the Snakeman as a One-Man-Band.

this harkens back to my posts about since were breaking with old tradtions what do we need with a Marching Band anyway. go with bag pipes, or invest in a bucnh a amps concert speakers and hire some sweet cover bands, or the old hairbands...either of which would be far better than any marching band. heck Oz is kicking real well...so and Phil still plays the drums like a champ...heck Rush is on tour...BRIng in the bands lets get a modern band.

Want to break with tradition with old-time rock bands.......rock is dying. The old-timers of rock such as Oz are stumbling and bumbling around just like the old Big Band guys did as rock took over. If you want to break tradition ask the students and I bet the consesus won't be Rush and Ozzzzz.

Personally I want the marching band but if not the music should be BG students in some format or another. You can listen to Rush and Oz in your mini-van on the way to the game.

Do you EVER have ANYTHING good to see about BG? Why in HELL do you bother to post....and bother everyone else with your nonsensical (and poorly worded and spelled) comments? Or is it just attention that you seek?

I think we should move our sideline back to where it "traditionally" was for the first 30+ years of the current stadium- on the East side!

I thought we were dumping tradition.

I was under the impression that we changed sidelines periodically. The east side was used continuously from 1966 until Blackney as the home sideline?

That was my impression. I know for certain that from 1985-1991 it was on the East side. When Blackney arrived he moved the team to the West side and donned the first orange jerseys in the program's history. My assumption is that the teams used the East sideline to be close to the locker rooms.

Anyone know / remember which sideline the team used from '66-'85?

I forget where G's old pictures from '68 or so are, as well as that movie that I think was from the same era of a UT-BG game. But that might show ya.

As well as the not posted, but ever so much better, spaghetti western on the same tape, featuring an 8 year old H20 as the Mexican bandido and his 11 year old brother as the relentless bounty hunter.

I had to read that twice...I thought you called your brother a relentless booty hunter..

If you look at the shots of the 1983 record breaking crowd against UT, you will see that the east sideline was the home sideline. I was there. It was kind of rainy and we lost by a stinking FG, but it was stil pretty cool. We didn't have the same level of electricity at the Doyt until the NIU game in 2003. We seem to average one really big crowd every 20 years.

Maybe we shoud speed that tradiiton up a tad...or drop to 1AA. I heard some farmer from Indiana proposing that on this obscure radio station in toledo...it might have been a student station or a program aimed at mental patients.

Didn't I? Because he was. But it wasn't that kind of movie.
