College Marching Band Spells Out ‘O-B-A-M-A’ on the Field During Bayou Classic Football Game
THEBLAZE ^ | November 26, 2012 | Billy Hallowell

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.

Wonder what those band kids will think about their hero when they graduate.

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

If that is true then why do most non white immigrants vote like they do?

IIRC, they did this at the 2008 Bayou Classic game, too. I'm sort of surprised they haven't done it every year since.

This is the game that the New Orleans hotels and downtown businesses all hate, because of the ticketholders' behavior. Businesses near the Superdome often close early to allow their female employees to leave before the crowd gathers.

At least it didn’t say King Obama.

"King"???

To some of these cretins, it's more like "God-Emperor 0bama" ...

“If you wish to see where they stash the slow black football players then watch black college football.”

Yup, both of those teams suck. There is no way that game would be on national TV on a Saturday afternoon unless they were both “traditionally black colleges”! Of course, it’s only ok for them to refer to themselves as “traditionally black”. If anyone else does, they’re racist!

I’m not happy to admit, these racist displays kindle the fires of racism in me.

All part of the master plan to keep us at one another’s throats.

So glad I live in a somewhat rural area. When I do go into our nearby small town, nearly all of the black people I meet there are just as respectful of me as I am of them. There does seem to be one pastor in town in my age group — boomer — who, therefore, remembers the days of racial segregation and seems to want to keep the resentment going. But I don’t know how big his congregation is or how much influence he has.

What has OblahMao done for blacks other than give them some feel good goo over having a black president? Meanwhile college costs skyrocket and jobs for college grads decrease. Facts be damned ay?
Full speed ahead with the black false god worship of this moronic culture.

I happened to be in NOLA this weekend. Saturday was Thug Day. It was awful. We did not visit the Quarter that evening.

Why not, they are getting free stuff. They are also myopic and uneducated. With community organizers all over the place they are easily fooled into voting rat.

I found out this morning that there is an “Obama Christ” webpage. If a person joins the “Church of Obama Christ” and gives 10% of their monthly pre-tax income to this “church” they will be saved by “Obama Christ”. All others will be destroyed.

Yep. Kowtowing. Throwing them a bone (hopefully it won't go through any noses).

"...years since the networks stopped showing halftime marching band shows."

What and improvement it would be for the NFL to have some traditional collegiate half time shows instead of garbage like Madonna or the rapping peas.
