Disbanded?

As bowl season gets underway next week, there will be a notable absence. Whether that absence is lamented or celebrated depends entirely on your perspective. Stanford's marching band, the court jester of the marching world, has been suspended for 18 months following violation of university policies. The band was found responsible for new violations that included alcohol abuse and unauthorized travel, and violating sanctions from a previous Organization Conduct Board ruling. The suspension will keep the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band from appearing in this season's Sun Bowl, and if the terms are not altered, will keep them out of the entire 2017 football season. Perhaps the most damning is the board's statement upon sanctioning that the band's recent violations are “incredibly troubling and indicative of a systemic cultural problem,” and that “[they] do not feel that the current leadership or membership is capable of creating the necessary cultural ch

Horns Down for What

The Big 12 may fine me for this. Everything's bigger in Texas - including, is seems, the offense. The "horns down" gesture - basically, throwing down Texas' Hook 'Em gesture - has been a pain point for the Longhorn faithful for some time. So much so, in fact, that the Big 12 deemed it worthy of a taunting penalty. Most considered that simply a case of handling the league's 1800 pound steer with kid gloves - Texas, after all, already enjoyed the luxury of its own ESPN-backed network, so this just seemed more of the same. Earlier this month, the gesture once again became a live wire, as C.Florida players threw down the horns after defeating Texas in Austin and Longhorns coach Rodney Terry blew up at the Knights, later calling them "classless" for the gesture. Terry later went on to apologize for the emotions of the moment, but Texas' pain around the issue had already been made evident. Given my frame of reference, I couldn't help but notice ho

What a difference a decade makes. In 2012, TCU was playing its first season in the Big 12. The move represented a return to the Big Time for the Horned Frogs; after having been a heavyweight as part of the Southwest Conference, the league's dissolution at the onset of the Big 12 left TCU and others on the outside looking in at what would become the BCS auto-qualifying conferences and later the Power Five until their return. The next year, TCU alumnus Dr. John D. Pasquale would take up the baton at Michigan as the director of the Michigan Marching Band, and at present is the longest tenured in the role since Dr. William D. Revelli retired in 1971. Pasquale's time in the post has included all of Jim Harbaugh's time in Ann Arbor, including last year's playoff appearance. TCU: Michigan:
