Watch the bowl games & compare them to our Bulls

Having a fairly one-track mind, I've been listening to the bands in the stands. I will say that they HOT has about as good a stands presence (both volume and quality) of anyone out there.

Huh?  Have you seen any of the Big 10 bands?  Or, the PAC-10?  HOT is not in the same universe.  HOT has ALOT of work to do to be up there with USC, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn State.  I saw all but USC in person, we need to do some work.

Reread what I said. Yes, I've seen most of the Big Ten bands, many in person, and a good deal of the Pac-10, SEC, Big XII, ACC and other conferences as well. You'll notice, however, I was speaking about stands presence. Yes, there are many aspects of some of these programs that the HOT can't touch--yet. But as far as how they sound in the stands on television, I believe they've got a great presence.
