Hello Friends of LSJUMB! I'm posting the message below from Wall-E, the new Manager of LSJUMB, with my personal plea to encourage you to Come Join The Band and RTFO for the September 4 football game vs. Miami.
---
Alums!! Hello!! Wall-E here, I’ll cut straight to the point: we’re inviting all alums and community members to our September 4th Game vs. Miami!!! We are admittedly in a bind with this game, as it falls the week after summer quarter housing ends and is two weeks before Band camp, making it difficult for a lot of current members to make it to the game. So, to be completely honest, we really need your help. We can promise good vibez, good timez, food, and an unlimited source of funk, so come on down to rock tf out with us before school starts!
Please fill out this form by 8/24 if you're planning on coming! Again, we want as many of y’all as possible (stay tuned for a similar message about reunion in October)! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQ...A/viewform
Best,
Wambua “Wall-E” Musyoki
LSJUMB Band Manager '26-'27

LSJUMB won't be performing a half-time show, but, if we have the numbers, will probably perform a basic pre-game show.
How desperate is the situation? I'm dusting off my trombone to participate after ~25 years!
(This is a Friday PM game on Labor Day weekend. Perhaps we can do some sort of OF get-together on Saturday, e.g., a Zott's run or tailgate/picnic. If you have suggestions for an additional get-together plans, please add to the comments.)
Thanks!

LOL, I think it is fitting that USC is trying to cash in on the Odyssey craze, not remembering that they were the “baddies” in history, and specifically on the losing side of the Trojan War.
My memory might be failing me, but I seem to recall the Odyssey starting 10 years after the fall of Troy, and that the coalition of Greeks, including the Spartans, were on the winning side.

Sordid details about the final days of former NFL defensive lineman and Stanford grad, Josh Mauro. Not much that needs to be added.
Hookers & Blow.....that's one way to go

Hey, this is a little random but I'm a waiter at a restaurant in San Francisco and last week I waited a table with a guy who tipped me $400 and from talking to him he told me played football at Stanford, is a lawyer, and he looked like he was in his 30s maybe 40s. Anyway I didn't have the chance to tell him thank you because I was wiping another table.
I'm trying to figure out what his name is so I can possibly email him and say thank you. He paid cash overall so I couldn't see his name on his card.
Tried googling it and nothing came up except Cory Booker lol and that wasn't him.
