Then the band was playing what to me sounds like random notes, and when I played the video on my desktop just now, Meade says "Send me that one," and I was puzzled....
I'm told it's "Hail Purdue," and I get it. Meade grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana. Purdue is his original home team, and he wants to send the video to someone in West Lafayette. Don't you think it's nice that the band plays the enemy's fight song? It's a tradition, a welcome, played pre-game.

That’s nice…

America the beautiful. Cannot be stifled indefinitely.
Is that a couple of bulimics who just had breakfast there on the dock?
jeez- tell those rowers to go back to bed 😴
Elimination of lead from gasoline, and addition of ethanol, has been a major cause of climate change. Recent replacement of fossil fueled power plants with wind and solar have exasperated the problem.
Lead, coal, and oil will restore climate to historically benign conditions.
I like it. Thanks for posting. Is there anything better than the happy sound of a marching band tuba?
Last fall I was walking up the long walking path ramp on the north side of the CU campus - near the practice field. I overheard the marching band. They were playing Corey Hart's 'Sunglasses at night".
An 80's one hit wonder delight. It was cool.
I guess it's a thing
Joe Rogan is at an undisclosed site in Wisconsin for the deer opener. Get some Joe.
Bow season?
"Don't you think it's nice that the band plays the enemy's fight song? It's a tradition, a welcome, played pre-game."
Civility bullshit.
"Joe Rogan is at an undisclosed site in Wisconsin for the deer opener. Get some Joe."
Because he hunts with a bow. You can do that from Sept. 14 to Jan. 5.
I'll try to keep my eyes on the entire state of Wisconsin. I see Trump will be quite near to Madison tomorrow, at the Dodge County Airport.
The band has also been working on Michael Jackson songs. I guess MJ got uncanceled.
A nice tradition. As a kid in the 1970s, I can vividly recall staying after Wisconsin @IU games to enjoy the Badger Band 5th Quarter. Speaking of Indiana, 'Hoosier hospitality is no accident' (Meade knows). Now, if you'll excuse me, I’ve got a 2:30 television date to watch the 5-0 Hoosiers smoke Northwestern in Evanston.
40 years, time flies. 1984 was a "Cruel Summer".
On game day mornings, we called it “early morning drill” when we got up at 6am to run through the halftime performance one more time. A&M didn’t play the other school’s fight song, but if you listen carefully it might be song before hearing “sounds like hell”.
re: IU - from your lips to God's ears. To win the game, you must win the next play. That's how they've been doing it so far. NU band will be playing Indiana Our Indiana pregame in their strange little venue. I like civility whether or not some people think its bullshit. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Go Ah You, fite fite fite!
Before morning run through at Indiana we always had an extended "touch" football game on the field. The field turf in the seventies would sand the skin right off your body. Long sleeves and no shorts.
Brings back fall memories at Grant Field. And a girlfriend riding with me in my sports car. What a time… and then The President was murdered leading to drugs deluge and Viet Nam. I blame The Beatles.
I used to have Camp Randall seats near where the visitors took to the field. I'd yell, "All Hail, worthy opponent!" as they came running on. Never could get that going as a crowd thing.
Most of the Big Ten (or whatever it is now) does that. I was jn a Big 10 Marchint band when in college, and we always played the visitors' fight song. Even Michigan's, though it was always with badly hidden digust.
Brett Blomme's husband still works at the UW Madison campus. Pedophiles are never canceled where the Left hold court.
In my small town everyone all over town can hear the band and announcer Friday nights during the football game. I love hearing people having a good time. That's what Friday nights are for.
