I'm honestly not trying to make a big deal out of nothing here guys...Just stating facts.  First...No the 110 did not play halftime in 99 either.  I know...I was there drinking in the stunned silence and under breath grumblings resonating from the hordes.  Second...All other visiting bands play at half time.

I'll chalk the previous slights up to coincidence if indeed they are invited to play halftime this year.  This actually looks promising as it appears they have the TSBDBITL reunion slated for the Marshall game this year.  Personally I'm shocked that they're going to cost the crowd a rare chance to see those sweet hats in action but who am I to question?

John...

Wow...Apparently I should have worded this differently???  Obviously visiting bands don't play Homecoming anywhere and I thought I made it clear I was referencing the "coincidence" that both times we've played them; Alumni Band Day was conveniently scheduled on that date.  I’m talking about non special event games…

I'm honestly a bit surprised at the kickback here but to each his / their own.

Like I said I'll be happy to chalk it up to pure coincidence when I see the 110's feet on the field during half time on Sept 18th.  If not though, I’ll just have to assume that Ohio A&M’s Administration is a better judge of talent than the Macy’s Parade Selection Committee and I’ll have to make due watching TSBDBITL execute Michigan’s Script Ohio (sans State) for the umpteenth time.

While it's disappointing to the OU faithful that we could not see the 110 at half time in 2008, those of us who stayed for the post-game show were delighted as were the many scarlet clad fans that stayed. It's their call since it's their house. I do not think for a moment that there was any conspiracy to stop the 110 from performing. Just the luck of the schedule and nothing nefarious whatsoever. Bands scratched from halftime shows anywhere are entitled to be pissed.

tOSU gave the 110 a full seven minutes at halftime.

I will break the news that the 110 will be rockin' Ohio Stadium to Van Halen / Van Hagar.  'Dreams' and 'Panama'.

tOSU marching band will follow with an electrifying rendition of Beethoven's 5th and maybe a show tune or two.

I'll take the marching band 'W', because we ain't getting the football one.

(Cue the 'We're gonna beat OSU' threads)
