It was bad enough that my Alma Mada got beat in the biggest game of the year, on national television. But it seems that the cloud of stupidity is raining on the Blue and Gold. Well the halftime attraction anyway.
Hours before the Human Jukebox headed to the Big Easy, some members of the famed band decided to partake in some form of hazing, if that what you to ball it, by beating the crap out of some younger members to earn their keep. Hazing is nothing new, been around for years, but when it leaves two people in the hospital that's taking it a little to far.
I wish I could say this was the only incident that drew such attention. Remember the infamous Halftime Brawl with Prairie View some time ago.
What's worse is the judgement, or the lack thereof, is going to cast a shadow on the kids who are doing the right thing. And on a program that will cause parents to have second thoughts on sending their kids to the school.
Right now, six people have been arrested with a seventh being sought. Hopefully everyone learns from such a dumb incident.

yeah two of them have been Released so far. I haven't blogged on the situation because I've been talking to folks about it but I will. real soon
I was told that something bad happend prior 2 the classic, I didnt expect it to be This bad.
this shit happens every year. band kicks the crapa out of a couple hommies. but it's not usually this bad.
the last time an organization got caught hazing, (the q dogs), they were kicked off of campus. wonder what the university will do to the band to address this. my guess is, just as in the past, nothing.
folks won't learn till they get some real consequences. this time, there will be, at least for these seven. but what about the others that condone and eve promote this behavior.
your alma mater needs to get it's act together.
