They missed a couple of TDs right before the half. I'm sure that they were on the sideline at the time.
Band in Tiger Stadium Having been a member of Tiger Band, I pay attention to where each schoool's band sits. Tiger Band has great seats to watch the game compared to some schools, but their sound doesn't carry to the microphones. As a comparison, watch the Florida game tommorrow. Their band sits under the goalposts and you will be able to hear them a lot more. (Florida's band used to sit on the 50 high above the visitor bench--talk about getting robbed in the move. ) I can usually hear Tiger Band better on road games since they are usually sitting across from the field mics. I expect they will be loud in the Ga Dome. And even if they aren't picked up on TV, we still know they are the best! GEAUX TIGERS
Thanks for the inside scoop Thorny... I heard the Tiger Band just fine today. Sorry you missed out beatemdown.
The wind had a lot to do with the sound. My seats are almost directly straight across from the band and so I usually get everything the band does full blast -- but yesterday there were times it sounded like the band was playing in a barrell. Same for the crowd noise. That was the hardest sustained wind I ever remember experiencing in Tiger Stadium. I am assuming you were watching on TV and I have heard several complaints about CBS not having very good field miking as well.
