The OS-Who shirts, the Mascot fiasco and a 43-7 drubbing that really wasn't that close. And yet we get posters that our band should/would/could upstage theirs. Immaturity at it's highest. PS, I'm a total Bobcat homer and a HUGE 110 supporter/fan and quite frankly I think if we play Panama one more time for a feature half-time show we just might as well put it in with the classics at post-game. We have really worn that one out.

That said, Brutus is about as dorky a mascot as exists -- in its/his own way stupid and, were I an A&M fan, something I'd regard as an institutional embarrassment.

There are a lot more mascots way worse than Brutus.  I'm sure there's a little bit of bias coming from your side though.

Search the band threads regarding people wanting the 110 to do things on the field to one up TBDBITL. I've read them... my point was, the 110 could've lined up and passed wind and it would've been a better show. I'm sorry, but that is just rude.  I am a former member of TBDBITL.  Both bands are excellent organizations and both schools are very pround that they represent their universities.  I am very proud that I was in The OSUMB as I'm sure you are proud that you were in the 110.  Lets leave it at that. He's not in the 110. My friends and I were talking at the game on Saturday and were saying that, a good band doesn't need "extras" on the field (Mobile or Flinstone car) or sound effects over the loud speaker to get their point across.

I can't help but giggle at Frank's quote in that Post article though.... Ohio coach Frank Solich said he did not know much about the situation. "Obviously we needed to tackle the guy with the ball, not the mascot," he said.

It is common practice that when you have an away game you do the last show you performed at home.  That goes for pro games as well.  Fear not, the 110 will have a brand spanking new show for the BUGS game.  And then again for Homecoming, and so on.  New shows always debut at home games.

That is correct.  Both the 110 and The OSUMB have a new show every home game.  So if you are not thrilled with one...just wait a week or so and another will be right there for you to enjoy.
