Can you elaborate, for those of us not at the game?Worst halftime show I've ever seen. Wtf was that? For those of you at the game, hope you watched some of it. Horrible.
Essentially, it was an "Olympics" theme, where they had a guy in black and gold overalls (Purdue), competing against a member of the 100 in different Olympic events while music was played. They had the Purdue guy make mistakes and whatnot. It's kind of hard to explain, but easily the worst halftime show I've ever seen. Just embarrassing.
Said that to my friends at the game. Might as well just start chanting Purdue .sucks on kickoff lol
I got to watch the Keiser Seahawks marching 8 vs Georgetown College that was in stark contrast to the Bethune-Coolman band at FAU last weekend.No kidding. Let's not forget who we are.

The athletics department doesn't run the band.The athletics department is a clusterf**k in all facets.
I'm a Hundred alum and I'm embarrassed for where the band has been the last 10 years. It isn't the kids fault. It's the leadership that has mailed it in.Worst halftime show I've ever seen. Wtf was that? For those of you at the game, hope you watched some of it. Horrible.
I would tend not to comment about Halftime shows but since you brought it up. I would tend to agree. It was not their best effort. We don't have alot of march in our March 100.Worst halftime show I've ever seen. Wtf was that? For those of you at the game, hope you watched some of it. Horrible.
Agreed not the kids fault. I have felt the Marching 100 has needed fresh blood for a number of years. As an alum of the band you would know better than I. Bring back the flag core. Update Red Stepper outfits. Oh while I'm on a rant update the outfits for the basketball pep band. Something in stripes maybe. We are so slow to change.I'm a Hundred alum and I'm embarrassed for where the band has been the last 10 years. It isn't the kids fault. It's the leadership that has mailed it in.
Oh no! Tell me that isn't so. An IU band taking jabs at Purdue when playing another team. Then y'all whine about Purdue chantng "IU Sucks".Essentially, it was an "Olympics" theme, where they had a guy in black and gold overalls (Purdue), competing against a member of the 100 in different Olympic events while music was played.

Notice how everyone in the thread has said they hated it.Oh no! Tell me that isn't so. An IU band taking jabs at Purdue when playing another team. Then y'all whine about Purdue chantng "IU Sucks".

The Marching Hundred is a football-only band.If only we had a "football-only" band.....
Of course, the fact you assert won't stop the poster in question from slamming the athletic department.
Ummm,we are not justifying it,we are embarrassed by it.Oh no! Tell me that isn't so. An IU band taking jabs at Purdue when playing another team. Then y'all whine about Purdue chantng "IU Sucks".
There's no excuse. They've got a band-only building. Surely we can recruit elite marching band players now.I'm a Hundred alum and I'm embarrassed for where the band has been the last 10 years. It isn't the kids fault. It's the leadership that has mailed it in.

Yeah, I know, I know.They already have the best musical talent in the nation at their disposal. At one point Ray Cramer was considered a national leader as a bandmaster.
I didn’t see what the band did, but what was discribed sounds fine. That’s what rivals do. What I don’t like is calling Purdue coeds fat and ugly. Some posters may have daughters or wives from Purdue.
There was a time, pre artificial turf, that one end zone would be painted in the opponents colors. The other team’s fight song is common in the Big 10.One of my few complaints about the atmosphere at Memorial Stadium is how “welcoming” we are to the opposition.
1. Our band plays the opposing team’s fight song as a salute. Is this common at other stadiums?
2. Michael McRobbie gets on the big screen with a big welcome to everybody that sounds like the monologue intro to Masterpiece Theater. Would anyone like a warm cup of tea and a crumpet before the festivities begin? (I know he’s an Aussie but you get my drift)
3. Fred reminds everybody to behave and don’t be “That guy.”
This is football. I want the opposing fans to feel unwelcome. This isn’t a golf tournament. It needs to be rowdier. And when the opposing fans started their “Go Green, Go White”
I would have shut that stuff down really quick with use of our new Jumbotron blasting a public service announcement about steroids to drown them out.
Opposing fans should feel completely unwelcome but not threatened for a football game.

I've mentioned this before over the years, but my Dad (IU '48) said in his day they knew the words to the other Big Ten school fight songs.
One of the coolest things I've ever seen was the Midshipmen salute IU before we played them in Annapolis. Nothing wrong with sportsmanship, it's a game, after all.
"Opposing fans should feel completely unwelcome but not threatened for a football game."
That's an incredibly fine line, especially given how much alcohol is usually involved. No thanks.
