I have told my children that years ago we used to call everyone to the TV to make sure they didn't miss the band when they were doing the SCRIPT OHIO at the half time show. It was always great to see the OHIO band do their thing. We didn't need rock stars....at halftime. We enjoyed the band and watching the students perform their formations and routines. I still get a kick and appreciate the precision of the talented band and cheer during the tradition of dotting the "i." Nowasays, I think the producers minimize featuring the student entertainment. They barely showed the OHIO and Florida bands but for a total of 60 seconds each.
My oldest went to Florida, so Dolly we were all in a different place than the OHIO fans for the BCS. I couldn't believe the Ohio band performed the sinking Titantic though. That was pretty surprising for a football game half time show.
