after 76 years no pigskin review this football season. how sad that another long standing tradition comes to an end. messing with peruna and now this.

This was inevitable. Without Greek participation and with, quite honestly, the overall decline in the quality of the acts, it just wasn't going to be viable anymore. Furthermore, there were so many other costs and other red tape that just prevented the band from breaking even on it. I believe that there were other issues involved as well but I won't get into those here on a public forum.

They are planning on doing something for homecoming. It won't be a Pigskin Review, but a performance of some kind. I will ask...

Meh, depends. It was hit or miss some years.

2000-2004 was the WORST!
