Yeah I’m toying around with a ton of ideas right now…

Punk Philosopher

People like the "pep band" aspect. People don't really care about the "marching band" part.

No touching

This is true.

Punk Philosopher

Until BYU stops playing the fight song 50 clicks under tempo, I will be upset

No game in the WORLD is close to the true weirdness of college football.

Punk Philosopher

I just....love college football

Punk Philosopher

12/8/21 6:34pm

College football is rooted in tradition. It has tribalism, nostalgia, and pride

Marching bands are like bagpipes. You wouldn't blast that music in your car, but
