Did you watch last night's Fiesta Bowl? Great game, huh? I was glad to see yet another Big 10 team go down in flames. When is the Big 10 gonna realize that passing the ball is a BIG part of playing the game?
Perhaps the strangest part of last night's game was the halftime entertainment. Now, for me, halftime is a good time to stretch your legs, grab a beverage and (should you have partaken in many other beverages prior to this one) make an on-site inspection of the stadium's plumbing. But, for those who enjoy watching the halftime entertainment provided at college football games (read: the parents of the poor mokes down on the field), last night's offering from the Texas Longhorn Marching Band was...weird.
The Longhorn Marching Band chose as their offering a musical tribute to Led Zepplin.
Uh-huh. Led Zepplin.
Now, I will admit, I've never been a big fan of Led Zepplin. And I can now attest that Led Zepplin's music doesn't sound better to me when it's performed on trombones, xylophones and tubas. And the accompanying visuals of forced smiling baton twirlers and chubby flag wavers doesn't help much, either.
Just what was their musical director thinking?! "Hey, kids, let's show your parents just how much money they're pissing away on your education!!"
Oh, well, at least the University of Texas upheld the motto of their hometown of Austin: Keep Austin Weird.
Weird. That it is.
