What #31 did and the posts on this board concerning it has to be a conspiracy to drawn attention aware from the bigger issues with this program.
Read the posts and it has to be true. Is # 31 Ho's 3rd cousin ?

I think it's more the tension of a listing, winless football program and a group of frustrated fans turning on one another. Bound to keep happening until something changes or gets better.

Not likely that there's any conspiracies. A lot of upset and frustrated Trojans. We all sit in the stands together on a weekly basis, but sometimes we see things differently and that's perfectly fine. If we all had the same opinions there wouldn't be much to talk about. Tempers flare, names get called, but I firmly believe we all want what's best for Troy.
I think I'll have a beer.

At the heart of it I think it comes down to the fact that band people are performers. They are putting on a show.
Football players are athletes. They are there to physically force their will on anther team.
Band people may not understand players attitudes and demeanors during #TrojanMarch
Football people see them team as simply "on their way to work." If they don't smile at me or tell me they appreciate me lining up in the heat to slap their hand, I'm ok with that. I'm out there for them because I want to see them an encourage them on their way into their job.
Inside the stadium I'm rooting for them to get their job done. I am entertained by the performance of the band while watching a football game.

Fact is, this whole thing with Tyler has become a distraction from what the focus should really be on and that's the coaching and the game.

I'm just as big of a football person as anyone, and before the fame, focus, great. After? Take two minutes to acknowledge the people that watched you, win or lose.
I never had an ego that needed to be stroked when I marched. I don't have one as a teacher, but it is nice to be told good job.

I am entertained by the performance of the band while watching a football game. The way I look at it, athletics are essentially a physical performance. Games are played at this level for the benefit of spectators. Nobody would be playing if nobody was watching (excepting intramurals). Sports ARE entertainment just like the band is. Not to say that you are wrong that the mindset of physical performers and musical performance isn't naturally different. Both types of performance require their own physical prowess. What those musicians do with their lips is NOT natural, nor is it easy to hit that fourth octave. Just like you don't just wake up and start running precision routes and finding your running lanes. But obviously there's a difference between the passivity of a musical performance and the violence of football, our society's most violent legal outlet excepting the occasional boxing match (and I for one am not fond of bloodsport). I haven't been to Trojan Walk in a while unfortunately. I have rarely got to games early enough. I think it's ideal that football players do some fan interaction, but they don't need to be ecstatic and exuberant necessarily. They obviously have their minds on the coming game (well, that's the idea anyway).

Band people may not go through the physical prep as football players do but they do sweat and bleed as they do. One can't compare the two in terms of job but they can be grouped together in prep for their job.

I dated a cymbal player in high school.
That's all I've got.

Because of a band child I now know the difference in a flute and piccolo. After that I pretty much know nothing except the band kids are by and large smart, dedicated, hard working and good kids.

I hooked up with a couple of majorettes back in the days when they had weight limits on them. Other than that cant say I really knew anyone in the band. I enjoy hearing them at the games, thanks for your service.

Sometimes those Front Porch 10's give something back to ya that Clorox can't kill. Saw a lot of my boys taken out of action temporarily due to the "gifts" that were left behind. The Front Porch was the devil.
