At the '91 Sugar Bowl, Virginia's band tried to act like Stanford and make fun of UT. Some UT fans didn't take too kindly to them doing that and making fun of Elvis. A riot almost started.

Watching the Stanford band yesterday, I told that exact same story.


I was about ready to kill me some virginia band members.

Elvis 'died' on the field at halftime. They needed help removing the body so over the PA system...they asked if there was any "volunteers" in the house.

Like Sally Ride, Len Bosack, Richard Fairbank, Phil Knight, Charles Schwab, and William Rehnquist?

Let's not forget that Condy Rice was also a Professor of Political Science at Stanford. That department must obviously lean toward socialism.

Oh, wait, I forgot, Stanford is in California. Of course it is known to supply Grade A prime socialists. Just like UT, being in Tennessee, is known to produce incestuous rednecks and bible-thumping conservatives, right?

Now name the liberal socialists

Chicago Blackhawks fans cheer thru the anthem. Its pretty cool. Its not a funeral song.

The other thing that pissed me off about it was how brazen and terribly they played it. I'd simply have preferred if Wisconsin played it, because they'd have played it better.

The Stanford "band", if you can call it that, is entirely operated by students. To no one's surprise, they have disciplined several times for performances that are, shall we say, of poor taste. I believe they're still banned from performing at Notre Dame.

That was it? I think a few people need a diaper change.

This. Good effing grief. Some of you should realize that the whole world doesn't operate like a Sunday school class in lower Alabama. And that is a very good thing.

I was watching one of there games this year and Charles Davis was part of the broadcast. If you don't remember Charles was an assistant AD at Stanford and he was cracking a few jokes about all the trouble he had to get the band out of on numerous occasions. I bet there aren't many schools where the AD has to worry about the band.

Stanford is actually considered to be a pretty conservative university for an elite school. Not sure where all this stuff about it being super liberal is coming from. It isn't Cal.

One of the most Conservative think tanks in the country is based at Stanford.

Hoover Institution

Doing the Lord's work.

But keep in mind, Leeland Stanford, who founded the university in memory of his dead son, was a major railroad tycoon in the 19th century, having lead a company that built the western portion on the transcontinental railroad. Hoover was also a Stanford alum, so the historical ties to conservatism are there.

But it's still California, still the left coast. You're going to have plenty of marxists at any college, especially in your artistic areas, even more so when they have an opportunity to act unsupervised.

Best of luck convincing anybody of this.
