Pride Not Invited to Inaugural Parade

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...

I was there and I remember standing on a stack of newpapers freezing. Dont remember the flaming hotdog stand
 
Awesome..I needed another reason to dislike Obama
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!
 
We definitely froze in 2005. As a college sophomore, I had flip flops and a pair of orange mesh running shoes (the football team shoes). It snowed like 13" while we were in DC, so I'm walking around DC in flip flops in calf-deep snow because my mesh shoes were soaking up all kinds of moisture. It was terrible.

The biggest things I remember from this trip were spending my beer money (per diem) on a pair of real shoes at a mall we had to walk to from the hotel, rooftop snipers on the parade route, a bunch of girls flopping boobies out of dorm room windows in Georgetown after the parade, and making snow angels on the national mall.
 
The worst part .... It was a piccolo player.

Slander and lies!

Maybe that Bon Jovi song would be appropriate for the person being inaugurated this time

...just sayin'

Gee Thanks
How about we ask people who matter ...Do you think we should do away with the Band?
What an azzwipe slamming the band that represents the school

Go watch LSU's band and tell me ours is half that good. Our band is boring and needs serious updating.
 
Tennessee voted Republican, is a right to work state, is pro-gun, and in the bible belt

Everthing liberals hate

It seems the more Republican Tennessee gets the worse the Vols football program gets. Maybe TN should try becoming a civil, high wage state with a majority who can actually read the Bible.

Somehow I am not surprised you have an voice this opinion insulting members on this board given your description of yourself
The middle finger is just great..and classy and shows your character


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.

Hate to hear that..

last time Pride was there, they put the camera on the Prez and that Biden... Biden leaned over to him and said, "Is that all they know how to play?" (meaning RockyTop).. you could read his flappy lips loud and clear..

No, he said "That's a BIG band".

I consider myself pretty liberal, and I ****ing love this state. I wouldn't consider living anywhere else or going to any other school. This is my home.
