The athletic dept. (well in reality marketing dept.) was asking us to do all sorts of things to make the "game experience" more exciting. "Hey Baby" comes to mine. Also, asking us NOT to play so they could play rawk music. It wasn't like we were busy doing something else, or getting food or whatnot. They asked not to play so they could pipe in rap songs or "Zombie Nation." Also, you can't use a "better than nothing" situation because everyone can hear the band at Crisler. I'm sure they didn't mean for it to come off this way but this is how we thought marking felt about the band: <br /><br />(Canned Jay-z) >= (Live Band)Old Altohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960584134036993146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-55541431409277336462009-09-19T00:30:56.487-04:002009-09-19T00:30:56.487-04:00It is against Big Ten rules to mic the band.It is against Big Ten rules to mic the band.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117896432653125563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-74490355383371589392009-09-18T18:05:28.528-04:002009-09-18T18:05:28.528-04:00Very nicely reported.

I love the band (biased opinion since I'm a MMB parent) but have always been a MMB nut.<br />I'm not opposed to some piped in music used minimally at the proper times. I am disappointed in not being able to hear the band because of where they are positioned in the stadium. Moving into the end zone I think would help. <br />The other solution, much easier to implement, and less expensive is to mic the band and play it through the PA system. I've heard multiple reasons why this isn't possible, but none that make sense.<br />GO MMB, you're have been and continue to be the best.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877432448120810635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-62786265470532595482009-09-18T15:02:14.814-04:002009-09-18T15:02:14.814-04:00Thank you, Jeremy.Thank you, Jeremy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960973372999016700noreply@blogger.com
