Stanford Band Mocks Border Wall, Whataburger in Alamo Bowl Halftime Show
Breitbart Terxas ^ | 12/30/2017 | Bob Price

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 university’s 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 Texan’s 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.

This type of "performance" is par for the course with this group of misfits that goes by the name of "band." They have no official association with the school and many are not even students at Stanford. My alma mater dealt with similar douchebaggery at the Fiesta Bowl several years ago and take great pleasure in having beaten their football team then, too.

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.

“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.

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.

“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 po’d. Thought it kind of funny. But their shtick gets old.
