Women's Team Fall 25

[Trotsky]

Band's here, btw. Nice touch.

From watching on ESPN, it sounds like the pep band gets to play as much as it wants during the women's game. It's too bad they play so much piped-in music during the men's games, cutting in to the amount of pep band time.

My third or fourth hand understanding is that athletics has decided to limit the band more and more at men's games. First killing pregame. Then adding jock jams. Now apparently controlling when they play entirely. Seems gone are the days that the band coordinates announcements with ACM and otherwise uses its own judgment to fill other breaks. A system which... Worked fine?

.

That's a damn shame and an awful decision. What benefit would that possibly bring?

In a word (well, two):
