Irish Mace know about that? *

Seriously. He may want to know. *

Maybe the Stanford Band will trip all over themselves.

They’re about as sensitive as a cold toilet seat.

I believe they are still banned when ND visits *

They were, but I think their admin relented. (edit)

We closed 2005 at the old Stanford Stadium, its last game before demolition/renovation (bulldozers were rolling hours after the game). The significance of that probably lead them to let the band in to close the house; find a replay, and you'll see them there.

Ever since, at least for the games I've paid attention, Stanford has indeed had their band in attendance. No idea whether they also performed field shows, bur hopefully another poster who was there in-person can chime in.

Edit: attached a link to a video from what looks like our first trip to the new stadium in 2007. Guess who's there?

Should have bulldozed the band along with the old stadium. *

They've definitely performed on the field at halftime

In their new stadium.

Thanks, that's news to me.

Guess we're just waiting for this shoe to drop yet again, then.

When did the ban start? *

Initially, 1991. Drum major dressed as nun, with crucifix as

baton. Then 1997, after mocking Notre Dame re the Irish potato famine.

I was referring to the ban when ND plays in Palo Alto.

The Stanford band has played multiple times when ND has played in Palo in the 2000s. I'm familiar with the ban when Stanford plays in South Bend.

But yes, they are awful. They think they're really clever and laugh at their own jokes but they're just bad all around.

Yeah, Seamus McHungry

Irish Potato famine. >2million dead. Genocide is so funny. At least to Stanford students. Hope we run it up.

Stanford’s band has been banned and disciplined numerous

times, not just for Notre Dame. Also re BYU and Mormons, USC, UCLA and alcohol abuse.

You all really buried the lead here. *

😎 No, just ran out of space. *
