The pre-game show against the pill featured tubas, wearing streamers. A semicircle barred the tubas from running towards a small circle on the other side. Drum major, dressed as a bishop (with a crook, and not a crucifix -- the guy with the crucifix did that at <i>Notre Dame Stadium</i> and was consequentially violently attacked by a nun) goes to the semicircle and does a Moses-parting-the-Red-Sea bit, and tubas spill towards the circle on the other side. One tuba, after some effort, breaks through the circle, thus fertilizing it. All band members cheer. Halftime show was less conceptual, and more direct. "There are two things the Irish are known for. Fighting, and starving. Oh, Irish, why can't you <i>love?</i>" That really boiled Notre Dame's, er, potatoes. Dodgerblue: Yes. The pre-game show against the pill featured tubas, wearing streamers.

Halftime show was less conceptual, and more direct. “There are two things the Irish are known for. Fighting, and starving. Oh, Irish, why can’t you love?” That really boiled Notre Dame’s, er, potatoes.

Let's just see what happens when the Ducks come to Shallow Alto next Saturday.

Just please, dear FSM, don't jinx us, and OMFFSM, please don't let the Longhorns choke to the Aggies. @SanFranLefty: Nice, honey.

My understanding of that performance is that the band leader was first dressed as a Hasidic Jew, and no one cared. But when he donned the habit and used a crucifix to lead the band, well, then there was H-E-Double Hockeysticks to pay! I wish I could find the video of these folks in Palo Alto who went out into their backyard to investigate some strange noises -- it was the band playing in the neighbor's yard. I love the band! @chicago bureau: YOU WIN!
