Who is fired first?

Why wasn’t the Band there? Do tell.

This is D1 football. Not being there in some form is inexcusable. The weather wasn’t even that bad.

The new band director had a hissy-fit over the Pep Band rumor about the winter games in Hartford.
So, they decided not to show. Because of 'illness'. I hope the 100+ members are all feeling better.

Wrong

So Pepband: Was it illness or a shot across the bow blue flu scenario? We may need the band Saturday morning to double our attendance.

Wrong

ok. pepband. tell me why 100% of the band was a no-show?

Explained in another thread.

Can’t understand why supposed UConn fans would tear down a positive thing for the university like this. Speculating nonsense just proves you to be a meathead.

I wonder how many of those taking shots were actually at the game?

 

[huskyblooz]

Of couse we were at the game.
We watch some of them prform during the Huskywalk.
We go in early to watch the band.
We watch the halftime performance.
We stay after the game to watch their AMAZING postgame show (that are mostly parents watching).

But, the No-Show was utter-BS!!
Let the 8 healthy people come & play!!

So, was it a ridiculous, selfish quarantine or was it a boycott?

I was. I am a grad, fan, ticketholder for many years. Nobody is tearing down the band. Just calling out the fact they were not there and should have been. Sure it was not the kids but their leadership.

Have them switch jobs.

 

[giddyup]

Back to the issue at hand, the school is showing it has no leadership and once again accepts substandard performance with no action or consequences. Why is Charlton still here when it’s clear as day he’s failing? Where is the backbone and desire to hold people to acceptable?

1) It was neither.
2) The "8 people" comment was something i thought of too. Would 8 people really have been/looked that much better? 20? 50?

I'm not happy with the no-show either, but I'm just trying to keep things honest.
