I'm more concerned about the Team making the Big Dance than I am the Pep Band.
Do not be concerned about the team making the Big Dance, because that is definitely going to happen. 298 hours from now, Furman will be SoCon champions.

I am with you. I certainly hope Dan does not waste JD's time with a question about the pep band.
If you had any clue about anything you would realize JD already made a point of it to bring it up himself 2 podcasts ago ;)
You made my point. Why bring it up again? Stop wasting his time with silly questions.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You make my point over and over that you love to be a dickhead towards me for no reason, just stop wasting my time by responding to my posts that have absolutely nothing to do with you ;)

I would like to know if they have an update on the band solution, as of that podcast they did not know what they were going to do should the NCAA tourney appearance come to fruition.

Is not he where the buck stops? The one with ultimate responsibility. Maybe you want it to be on Richey. Or do we think it has to go all the way to the University President, (which would absolutely waste HER time)?
Well…

…Since the Pep Band is part of Marching and Pep Bands, which is part of Bands, which is part of Ensembles, which is part of Music, which is part of Academics which is led by a VP who reports to the University President ( https://www.furman.edu/academics/music ... hing-band/) AND Basketball is part of Athletics which is led by a VP who reports to the University President, this situation is an interdepartmental / intra-university conflict, the earliest (lowest level) nexus of which seems to arrive at the University President level. Thus, it would seem that “the buck” blows by JD the VP/AD’s door on this one.

The attendance (or not) of the Pep Band at Basketball games (NCAA Tournament or otherwise)(beyond their admittance, accommodations, safety & security at home venues and such..and, (perhaps) to a lesser extent at non-home athletics events) would seem to fall outside of his mandate.

FUBeAR and many of his Football Alumni friends are excellent kazoo players. Should Furman need a Pep Band to take any all expenses paid trips to NCAA Tournament games, FUBeAR can round up a crewe.

Dah Dah, dah dah da da dum. Dah, Dah, Dah…
Freebird can play Men at Work's "Who Can it be Now" flawlessly on the Kazoo.
Dis u?
Not even close. Freebird is skinnier than that.

Asst. said his agenda now says…

“Emergency Meeting with President Davis, Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs & Provost Beth Pontari, FUBeAR, Freebird, and The Great Gazoo”

(Thinking possibly some kind of mixup with the last listed attendee)

Quick last minute question. Why were students not notified when the team was arriving Saturday night? Did FU not want to make a big deal of it?

From the Samford Board …

“The Mercer band at the end of their [Women’s] game were given purple "Furman Honor Band" t-shirts and appeared to be the rental band since Furman band can't come. Now the Mercer kids have shed the aforementioned t-shirts, deposited them in a cardboard box, and have left the building.”

Shoulda gone with the FUBeAR & Freebird Traveling Kazoo Revue & ShowBand offer. Guess we were asking for more than the cost of the T-Shirts. Lesson learned (hopefully) … Youze gets whats youze pays for!

We may still be able to make it up to A’ville on short notice. Y’all have FUBeAR’s cell. Let us know.
