College Marching Band Spells Out ‘O-B-A-M-A’ on the Field During Bayou Classic Football Game

Each year, the Grambling State University Tigers and the Southern University Jaguars get together to compete in the State Farm Bayou Classic. On Saturday, the 39th annual football game unfolded, with Southern winning 38-33. While the game likely exited a great many, it was the halftime show that distinguished itself as particularly memorable. The victorious school’s marching band coordinated themselves to spell out “Obama” on the field — an action that was noted by both supporters and critics of the president, alike.

Means nothing. Same as the Crips and Bloods. No difference whatsoever. The real problem is the media not covering it and if they did, it was certainly covered in a positive tone.

Beginning to look like pre WW2 Germany. Hitler’s name was routinely substituted into Christmas Carols to herald the coming of the new messiah.

Doesn’t give one much hope when you see this type of emotional and mental instability.

Total cult of personality.

There have been several scandals mentioned on tv regarding financial upsets and such at Southern University (which is a very small school in Houston) - but this one caught my eye, mainly because I think a lot of current teachers are just dumber than dirt - perhaps this explains how they graduated:

. Southern University This is probably the biggest changing grades scandal in US history. It was found that an assistant registrar had changed grades from 1995 to 2003, when the story broke. It was discovered that the assistant registrar charged 541 students hundreds of dollars in over 2500 illegal transaction in order to change grades. Everything emerged when a young woman presented herself as a graduate of the school, but the school could find no record of her earning a degree. It was later determined that several students “earned” fake Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and teaching certifications.

"The left supports homosexuality because it is a way to shake their fist in God’s face."

CS Lewis begins Mere Christianity with a discourse on natural law, pointing out that in virtually any alterecation or disagreement, there is an appeal to a higher moral standard; that people don't so much disagree on the standard, but merely over who actually complied with it, or whether an exception to it is justified.

Such is the case with secularism. They don't really deny God or God's law, they merely think it's cool to defy it.

Interesting that you use the word “cool” to describe their attitude towards defying God.

This is, actually, the working definition of “cool”, if you examine it.

“Cool” is exhibiting just the “right” amount, above the average, level of defiance towards authority based on traditional and biblical values.

Imagine if Wasserman Schultz becomes president. The band would need to practice for three weeks before getting it correct.

At least it didn’t say King Obama. The fact is a large percentage of voters (white and black) belong in a banana republic not a free republic.

If they knew what life is like in a banana republic, they would have a completely different view of 0 and the rats.

I think that these are both “black” colleges and we all know that the AA vote went for him by 94%. However, The Blaze is rascist for being a forum for printing the rascist author’s article, plus you are rascist for readint it!

We are all rascists now!
