I want old people to not leave with 5 minutes left to beat traffic.

lets just swap the pep band out for One Direction or something! Or a different live band every night. Maybe even get dave matthews to play for the big 4 tourney or something! and burn all the band members at the stake!!

edit: note:
1. sarcasm (or is it)
2. actually would be sweet
3. waste of wood

I want the old people to cheer more than twice a game.

I feel like a lot of the posters in this thread would rather swap them out with an iPod dock and a wireless router, which is kind of sad.

definitely destroys the fanfare and tradition of college basketball. but the game is moving in that direction

This thread is just sad.

If you think the band is just there to draw attention to themselves, what about the cheerleaders??? I mean, all they do is run out onto the court wearing skimpy outfits, jump up and down waving pom poms, and yell all the time. ReallY? What are they thinking? Do they really have to jump up after every basket? Come on. I'm there to watch a basketball game.

I believe what you are looking for is the ***Official Hilton Student Section Sucks 2012-13*** thread. If that hasn't been created yet, be patient, we are only a couple games in. This is the band sucks thread, so we need to keep this on topic.

As an old person, I have to say that at least at JTS, I'd be happy if the students didn't leave early. Went to the restroom with about 3 minutes left in TT game during a TV break, and almost got stampeded going back to hillside by the swarm of students leaving. On the flipside, I know a couple with very good seats and parking at JTS that always leave early and they are my age. I guess I'm thinking the leaving early thing is not determined by age.

The thread was started by students complaining that the band didn't fit in with how they wanted to experience a basketball game. Pointing out that they're not immune to annoying other people in the arena seemed valid.

We were losing and the game was effectively over. We don't lose at Hilton very often. I've never seen students flood the concourse at Hilton. It IS old people and it is lame. We could be beating Kansas and those same hags would be making their way up the stairs to get home 4 minutes earlier.

That is a completely different situation. By that point we had thrown our 80th int. and our offense had barely racked up 150 yards and we were down 11. Leaving a football game with 3 minutes to go when we are down 11 when we had done nothing all game is completely different than leaving a basketball game with 5 minutes to go when we are tied. (That really did happen last year)
