This same conversation about the LSJUMB happened after the 2014 Rose Bowl.  An MSU alum said it best:  "My first reaction to the Stanford band was What a dumb looking band--can't form straight lines, dressed funny, and just plain silly. I then realized that, at some level, their individuality, creativity, and unconventionality was [sic] probably threatening to me at some level.  But that's my problem, not theirs, and perhaps I can do myself a favor by focusing less on Stanford's band and more on my own issues.  So for all those people hating on Stanford's band, ask yourself:  What do they have that I don't have that I want to have but find threatening?"
