Anyone who saw images from Saturday’s Florida-Florida State game knows that the weather and field conditions were a mess in Tallahassee. It made for a sloppy game, but it also provided some halftime entertainment that was far superior to the typical “marching band makes formations” bullshit.
As you can see from the video above, the field was especially treacherous for Florida State’s tuba players, who pulled off a Keystone Kops routine almost perfectly. I really hope that this is the Internet’s next big viral video. I’d love to hear this set to “Yakety Sax” played by tubas, or see a new website called sadtuba.com, or maybe some Japanese tuba porn. Wait, pretend I didn’t write that last one.
I thought I was losing my mind the other night when I watched the Fiesta Bowl. I felt like I spent half the game listening to and watching Oklahoma's band. At one point, WVU had a 60-yard punt return, and the OU band started playing. Awful Announcing noted the next day that FOX cut to 58 — fifty-fucking-eight — shots of the bands on Wednesday night.
Never quite satisfied with its shitty product, FOX somehow upped its cuts to the college bands to 110 in last night's Orange Bowl, including the one above of KU's band doing nothing at all.
Listen, FOX. Nobody likes marching bands. They're fucking gay, and I don't mean that in the well-dressed, in-shape way, because college bands are never well-dressed or in-shape. So stop showing us the bands: the stands are crawling with hot college tail, and there are cheerleaders on the sidelines. Un-fuck your telecast.
