I found this clip out on youtube.

I thought this was a great clip. Just like being there.

A couple of year's ago I suggested to the B1G Ten Network that they do a thirty minute to one hour show featuring the bands of the B1G. They could tape the pre-game, post-game and half-time shows and show them once a week.

It could feature Skull Session and maybe do some behind the scene’s looks at different programs, members or director’s.

Talk to some of the member’s about what it takes to get there as well as some of the pluses and minuses of band membership.

I think that they would be able to use mostly footage recorded while they are there for a game. I think that this would be a great way for them to expand their viewership to females, I know my wife would love it.

Any thoughts?

Go Bucks!

I think it is a fantastic idea. One of the reasons I like BTN coverage is that they feature the bands more. With all the air space that the BTN has to fill, it shouldn't be too tough to do a show on the bands. I bet you could do it all in two-one hour shows.

Face it, that would be more intelligent that that idiotic Tailgate 48. That show is an insult to your intelligence. In fact, when they visited tOSU, I had to turn it off after 20 mins.

As a Buckeye, who wouldn't want to come through the tunnel with the band on a sun filled Saturday just once? As a Buckeye and a drummer, I know it would be an awesome experience.

I did get a response from the B1G Network today saying that they were intrigued by the idea, and are pursuing something similar. The one stumbling block could be music copyrights. It's always about somebody getting paid.

Great idea. I was in the b-ball pep bands and the spring marching band (never tried out for TBDBITL) and my brother was in M-Row. I can never explain to outsiders what it means to go to the Skull session or watch the ramp. A show like this would help explain the traditions of the school and maybe why explain why we like watching something that, to an outsider, seems goofy and trivial. Never mind, they still probably wouldn't get it. But I still like the idea.

That would be really cool. There is a new thing on Sunday mornings at the Gateway theater where they show the pregame and halftime, as well as practice footage and some interviews/whatnot. It's not quite BTN, but it's a start.

Brings back fond memories of storming the field and snagging a piece of turf from the middle of the "O" after the victory over SCUM in '01. Of course the score board and press box looked a lot different back then.
