Sadly, you don't get much of that even when watching college games. You get a bunch of talking heads over-analyzing the game and a wrap-up of nationwide scores.



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

There's actually a good reason for that: royalties. Marching bands don't often play original music, but rather arrangements of existing songs. The royalty structure is much different for "live performance in a stadium" vs. "broadcast on national TV" -- the networks check with the bands in advance as to their playlist so they can pre-clear the songs and pick the right time(s) to cut back to the stadium.
