That Wacky Pregame Clempson Action The Monolith: Band is walking out on the field, solemnly. Their heads are down, moving slowly but purposely. Band starts to form a triangle, while a slow, almost dirge-like, drum cadence plays in the background. As they forming up, a large edifice, draped with cloth, is being wheeled onto the field with incense bearers and hooded attendants. They regard this object with almost religious reverence. After the formation is there, the conductor takes the box and gestures for a Horns Up. He is wearing a long flowing cape and white gloves. He cues a chord. He cuts it, and then starts on a chord progression similar to 2001. At the climax, the starter gun goes off and the drapes fall, to reveal, in large flaming letters, the words,Clemson Sucks. The other side says Beat Clemson. Music: Live and Let Die BANG! Even More Clempsun Fun (i.e. Halftime) Wouldn't it be great if Clemson students were known as 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years instead of 6th, 7th, and 8th years? Wouldn't it be great if Clemson football players had something other than a rock to rub? And wouldn't it be great if Clemson had a band -- a really good band -- like the Award-Winning Virginia Fighting Cavalier Indoor/Outdoor Precision(?) Marching Pep Band and Chowder Society Revue, Unlimited!!!!!! Watch now as the Pep Band does their best impression of the Clemson Band... and what we wish would happen to it: Band form block formation and plays "Hold that Tiger" over and over. Person in trench coat walks off side of the field toward band. He takes out a starter pistol gun and starts shooting down band members. They fall like dominos. He shoots all but the last trumpet player who he walks up to. He takes the trumpet from his hand and hits him over the head with it. Thank you very much! We'd like to tip our hats to those of you who participated in "Smuggle a flask into Scott Stadium to Support the Pep Band" Day. Thanks a lot folks. Formation: A flask Music: Bud Theme With the 500th anniversary of Columbus Day only 2 days away, the PB salutes Jim Bob Columbus, Christopher's younger brother who sailed off the edge of the world and discovered Clemson. Formation: A boat Music: The Love Boat Flash: Don't drop acid, just take it credit/no credit. Another hurdle in the Republican quest for traditional family values came this morning, when irrefutable blood tests revealed that Vice President Dan Quayle is none other than the father of Murphy Brown's love child. Formation: DAN to DAD Music: Centerfold BANG!!!!! and off the field as the following is read... Tune in next week, when Drum Major Erica Chun says "Hey, wait a minute, that's NOT my baton..."
