4 years ago that happened.
Auburn is their biggest rival...I guessed and got that question right in trivial pursuit...
therefore....

We are their biggest rival now!!

Nope nope nope

29-11 is not a rival

Not close.

Since they are not allowed to play in stands or on the field @ Ole Miss, MSOS wanted to attend Tulane game instead.Dr. M. David Rudd added,

Very disappointed to hear the Mighty Sound of the South won't make the trip to Oxford. Why aren't they going? @UofMemphisPres

They wouldn't be allowed to play in the stands? WTF?

F the Black Bears! I guess they are afraid of our band and our football team. Bunch of biotches.

The claim this summer was that Ole Miss wasn't even going to allow Memphis to bring their band into the stadium. If what that really means is Memphis was told their band couldn't march on the field during Homecoming festivities, then I'll buy it.

woof...why take an L on homecoming?

Lol

I heard they also asked that we not bring our team. Can anyone confirm?

We can bring our team as long as they don't take the field.

I have been in email communication with the U of M director of athletic bands about the situation. Here is his message to Tiger fans:

"Tiger Fans,

Thank you for your passionate words. It makes our students and faculty proud knowing that the band is such an important part of the game day experience.

Due to SEC protocol and Ole Miss Homecoming activities, the Mighty Sound of the South will not be given the opportunity to perform at halftime and only afforded pep band seating. Thus, myself and other band administrators have made the decision not to travel to the Ole Miss game.

The Mighty Sound of the South, in its entirety, will be traveling to Tulane to support our Tigers. We hope to see you there too.

Go Tigers!

Fredrick Brown
Interim Director of Athletic Bands"


Seems as though they have acknowledged the problem and they are working to resolve it moving forward. Still sucks that they won't be there. Dr. Brown seems very supportive of Tiger athletics and our fan culture. His immediate and honest response to my email is very appreciated!

1000s of pink shirt frat boys that have been drinking dadas whiskey for
6 hours before kickoff? No thanks

Not a fail.

Our band, when told they could not perform at halftime chose not to go.

As I understand it, the band was given the choice of going to Tulane, or just playing in the stands in Oxford.

Not surprisingly, they made the correct choice.

The Tulane game is more important anyway

It would be nice to ruin Ole Miss's homecoming if we can.

Actually still a fail. "Pep band" status means only a small portion of the band, (much like for BB) would be allowed. That's a fail........

early for homecoming, no?

Maybe we should make a bet that if we win the game, the Black Bear Band (BBB) has to play the Tiger fight song...
