Honestly, aside from the drinking and spending of athletic department per diem on the trip, my inauguration with the POTSB was something to forget. Bush I, 1989. The main memory I have is developing an abiding hatred for Willard f-ing Scott. He said "highs of 55 with some periods of sun". I dressed appropriately. It barely made it out of the 20's, with wind speeds about as high as the temperature. It would have still been OK had we not had to stand still for a couple hours after the Secret Service stopped everything dead when a hot dog stand caught fire. I don't know if I've been that cold before or since. Willard f-ing Scott...
It doesn't have anything to do with Obama, as he doesn't decide who plays.
I think its the Presidential Inauguration Committees way of telling the Pride to STOP PLAYING LIVING ON A PRAYER.
Keep playing that crappy song.....No inauguration for you!
Tennessee voted Republican, is a right to work state, is pro-gun, and in the bible belt
Everthing liberals hate
You obviously played in it then. I went to every game this fall, and have been to each SEC stadium. Band's tunes are outdated, and the changes theyve made to rocky top are disgusting.
Tennessee's Pride of the Southland Marching Band not invited to the Presidential Inauguration Parade for the first time since 1965.
This is just one of those things Pride members plan to attend. Never really knew there was a chance we could be denied invitation.
Guess I'm lucky to have been able to go in 2005.
