Should the band dump forming the Diamond M?

Postby George S. Patton » Tue Oct 06, 2009 7:17 pm

For years we've watched now as they formed it. Don't they need to form something else?

Such as? Script "JJ"? Dollar sign? Number of interceptions thrown in first half?

If we have to change the Diamond M, then Ohio State can't have the sousaphone player dot the i.

Yep, it should stop immediately, as should Ohio State dotting the 'i' and the aggie band doing the amoeba. Traditions suck.

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

No because the M fits at SMU/Mustangs.

However since all 52 of you old timers resist a mascot that fits our name, I say we just bring a bunch of jackrabits and let them run up the field after TD's.

Pay homage to Geico's old commercials where you thought it was a commercial about a zoo and they would hit you at the end with their tag line.

You fogies would refuse a bar of gold in exchange for a [deleted] log simply because you've had the S^!+ longer.

Remember the above critique is from the man who said the Sean Peyton would be the next SMU Football coach

I never said that!

I was however the first person on this board to mention June Jones as a potential hire.

Look up my posts as TheFamousGuy.

I made it known that I would make a name change from TheFamousGuy to TheBestAvailable during the coaching search.

The Diamond M is about as Feminine as you can get. Lose it.

They should form a wind mill in honor of T Boone. Maybe that will earn us some more money and attention from the OSU grad.

I for one would say the band can do whatever the band wants to do. I dont know about anyone else, but I look forward every fall to hearing our fight song as the team hits the first time for the season. I know the band is small, I know it might not sound as good as other bands, but its our band, and frankly, I think those guys in the band have the most school spirit of any students. At most games, the band doubles the number of students at the game.
