Attendees at the Valero Alamo Bowl booed the Stanford University Band during its halftime performance after the bandsmen mocked the border wall, Whataburger, and all things Texan. The performance came during the California universitys bowl game versus Texas Christian University (TCU). TCU responded by defeating the Stanford Cardinals.
The Stanford marching band, known for satirical halftime performances, poked fun at Texans state pride, the border wall proposed by President Donald Trump, horned frogs (the TCU mascot), and Whataburger (the iconic Texas hamburger chain), KSAT reported. Audience members booed the band loudly when they mocked the border wall, and even louder when they took on Whataburger.

What??
Nobody mocks Whataburger!
Bunch of jerks...
Get a Rope!
Nobody mocks Whataburger, Texas OR the border wall.
Especially the pantywaist libs who are overtaken by illegals, in their own state of Mexifornia!!
Institute the draft again and take every one of these snot nosed kids out of college and let them find out what life is all about.
Love Texas.
Loathe Mexifornia.
Good to see their lefty asses get beat and sent back to California. Mock that.
Stanford..typical leftist clown college
I laughed with the band in junior high. I grew up, they didn’t.
Actually, nobody watches the Alamo Bowl.
If your not watching the Orange Bowl, you suck.
Go Bears!
LOL! Best play in history!
“They have no official association with the school and many are not even students at Stanford.”
My understanding is that It IS the school band and they ARE all Stanford students. But I only live nearby and attend Stanford games now and then, so I could be wrong.
It’s been a couple decades, but I’m old enough to remember when Californians had pride in their state.
They’re just jealous.
I could also be wrong as my information comes from my former high school and college marching band member son who follows such things closer than I do. I’ll look into it further.
Not a surprise...rich kids with too much time and dope on their hands
“My understanding is that It IS the school band and they ARE all Stanford students.”
Assuming Wikipedia is correct, your statement is correct and I am wrong in my opening comment.
They did the same thing when Iowa played Stanford in the rose bowl 2 years ago. They played the Farmers Only.Com thing. Iowa fans booed and were pod. Thought it kind of funny. But their shtick gets old.
