Event: Clemson v. Georgia
Location: Sanford Stadium, Athens, Georgia
Yes, Virginia. Unfortunately Clemson does have a band.
I saw their band once...back in 1995.
It's been a while...maybe they sound better than they did then?
Final Score: Georgia 31, Clemson 28
Date: 14 September, 2002
Event: University of South Carolina v. Georgia
Location: Columbia, South Carolina
I refuse to make the obvious joke about USC's band.
Last time I went to Columbia and spent time in the Upside-down cockroach stadium, I left with a busted lip, black eye, mild concussion, our bus' tire blew out and the team lost.
Final Score: Georgia 17, South Carolina COCKS 7
Date: 21 September, 2002
Event: Northwestern State v. Georgia
Location: Athens, Georgia
Northwesterin State "SON" Demon Marching Band
If you were downtown eating hot dogs with me Friday night, this is going to be especially funny. Friday night we were downtown and someone asked me if I were going to try to find a website for the NWS-La band. I told them I would look, but since they probably wouldn't
have one, I was going to make one up for them. In fact, I was going to try to find that Tampax commercial with the Grambling Marching Band (since both bands are from Lousiana) dancing around that says
"Tampax Was There" and put that video clip up for them. Well...I found a website for the band. And they actually have video and sound clips on it, and it's better than some of
the one's I've found so far.
Also....I found a video clip for them. Apparently bands in Lousiana like the Dazz Band's "Let it Whip."
(I still don't have this one archived yet. I'm working on it.)
Final Score: Georgia 45, Northwestern State 7
Date: 28 September, 2002
Event: New Mexico State v. Georgia
Location: Athens, Georgia
New Mexico State "Pride of New Mexico" Band
And I always thought burritos were...
Anyway, I found a video clip that explains why NMS will not be bringing their band to Athens this trip. Apparently, there has been a sudden surge
of wolves attacking marching bands out west.
New Mexico State Cries Wolf!
Final Score:Georgia 41, New Mexico State 10
Date: 5 October, 2002
Event: Alabama v. Georgia
Location: Tuscaloosa, Alabama
University of Alabama Million Dollar Band
If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you John Merrick's remains (all them crazy Elephant bones)
If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a marching band (one kinda like the one they have at UGA)...
And if I had a million dollars, I'd be rich!
There's only one good thing that ever came out of Alabama....I-20.
Final Score: Georgia 27, Alabama 25
Date: 12 October, 2002
Event: Tennessee vs. Georgia
Location: Athens, Georgia
University of Tennessee Creamsicle Band
Question: Why is orange the University of Tennessee's school color?
Answer: So the UT fans can go hunting, go to the game, and go to work on the same day.
There's no excuse for bad teeth in Tennessee...
Ok...I've actually run out of things to say that'll make fun of Tennessee. In fact, the video might not really be
as funny as its been the past few weeks, but I tried my best. I wish I had more...but I don't. I've got 4 tests this week
and they've sucked out all the creative energy I've got.
Just Remember: Everybody in Tennessee loves the circle drill!
If you're having trouble watching the videos, hold down the right mouse button and "Save Target As..."
Final Score: Georgia 18, Tennessee 13
Date: 19 October, 2002
Event: Vanderbilt vs. Georgia
Location: Athens, Georgia
Vanderbilt University Sprirt of Gold Marching Band
Gold and Vanderbilt seem to go hand in hand...
There isn't any multimedia stuff this week. I tried contacting one of the more famous Commodores since it is homecoming this saturday and famous alumni (and not so famous ones too) are showing up to the game, but Lionel Richie wouldn't return my phone calls.
Something about him having to work the Night Shift...
Final Score: Georgia 48, Vanderbilt 17
Date: 26 October, 2002
Event: Kentucky vs. Georgia
Location: Lexington, Kentucky
University of Kentucky Wildcat Marching Band
Ok, so I'm sitting here right now wondering if the "Big Blue" that Kentucky keeps cheering for is their own Lineman/Quarterback. Any of you thought about
that recently? It boggles the mind...
Get into the "Sprirt" of Kentucky.
Final Score: Georgia 52, Kensucky 24
Date: 2 November, 2002
Event: Florida vs. Georgia
Location: Jacksonville, Florida
University of Florida "Pride of the Sunshine" Fightin' Gator Marching Band
Yea, I'd be fightin' someone too if I had to wear that UGLY uniform with the giant sun on the back.
So, yea, Florida's band has two nicknames. Sounds like a case of "Auburnitis" to me.
Ok, I just pulled this off the SunGator band's website.
MYTH #5
You must be a University of Florida student to participate in Gator Band.
In fact, Santa Fe Community College students are able to dual enroll and be full members in the Gator Band.
So, they're pulling in folks all the way from New Mexico to be in their band. I guess some of the people in Gainesville are smarter
than we originally thought.
That's one hell of a commute!
Final Score: Too depressed to write it down
Date: 9 November, 2002
Event: Mississippi vs. Georgia
Location: Athens, Georgia
Ole Miss Band "Pride of the South"
Is it me...or is every band in the SEC trying to call themselves the "Pride of the South"?
Final Score: Georgia 31, Ole Miss 17
Date: 16 November, 2002
Event: Auburn vs. Georgia
Location: Auburn, Alabama
The Auburn University Marching Band
Well...at least Auburn's band doesn't even try to associate itself with one of its many, many mascots. Unlike everyone else there...
Throughout its history, one of the primary goals of the Auburn University Marching Band has been to foster the Auburn Spirit. With more than thirty performances and exhibitions starting from early fall and extending through the bowl season, the Auburn Band does exactly that.
Riiight.....
Final Score: Georgia 24, Auburn 21
Date: 30 November, 2002
Event: Georgia Tech vs. Georgia
Location: Athens, Georgia
The Georgia Tech Marching Band
Well, when I was looking around for stuff to make fun of Tech this week, I came across the most unlikely of sources. Their very
own website. Ok, so I really go around rummaging on other bands' websites just to make fun of them. It's the easiest thing to
do. Well, as I was looking at Tech's "band's" website, I noticed something. It hasn't been updated since fall quarter of 1997.
Now, maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but aren't they supposed to be a technical school full of nerds? And shouldn't nerds be
the very people we would suspect would actually have a website?
Anyway, since apparently Tech isn't technical enough to make their own website, I'm gonna try to help them out and
make one for them before the game on Saturday. Keep coming back to see if I've gotten anything done.
I promise to do it eventually...
Final Score: Georgia 51, Georgia Tech 7
Date: 7 December, 2002
Event: Arkansas vs. Georgia
SEC Championship Game
Location:Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
University of Arkansas Razorback Band
I smell bacon...
I found a picture of a Razorback cheerleader...
Final Score: Georgia 30, Arkansas 3
Date: 1 January 2003
Event: Florida State vs. Georgia
Sugar Bowl
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana
Florida State Marching Chiefs
We have a treat in store for us. Remember how silly Tennesee's Drum Major looks like when he runs down
the field with that giant polar bear skin hat? Well, he might have a giant Q-tip on his head, but Florida
State's Drum Majors are dressed up in Native American garb. And I almost think it looks better than
the giant Q-tip head of UT.
I was offered a scholarship to Florida State, but chose to come here instead. It would have been a lot closer to
my hometown than Athens is...but I liked Athems more than Tallahassee.
