We thought YOU knew!
At the beginning of the game, TSU’s band broke in and started playing while Gram’s band was playing our fight song…. but that’s okay, we tied a knot in that raggedy TSU tiger tail…
Yea..what was up with that? TSU’s awful band marched in late…like they actually were going to do something. Then they played annoying music during the entire game, giving me a headache. They should’ve helped their poor football team. They really should’ve stayed in Houston, but who could blame them for wanting to come to GSU’s homecoming? By the way Tiger fans, have you ever known ANYONE to play GSU for their homecoming? LOL!
