I've heard from numerous Iowa fans that the Stanford band has been banned from road games in 2016 as well because of the Band's Rose Bowl halftime show.  I cannot find any reputable source confirming that, however. 

I think they're misunderstanding the following SI article, which was updated after the Rose Bowl to mention Iowa's displeasure at the halftime show: http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/...ban-travel

Right?  All we've seen from the Stanford administration is the second-hand statement in Wilner's article (also reproduced in ESPN, so it may have been an e-mailed press release), and that is most definitely not coming down hard on the Band.

Yes, it was for this past year due to hazing, though they were given a pass from the administration because the Rose Bowl is the Rose Bowl.

Not that I want to in any way imply that Iowa fans would misinterpret the meaning of anything having to do with Stanford.

That's what I'd thought, and I knew why they were previously suspended, but the certainty of my Iowan colleagues was making me wonder whether I'd missed something. 

I liked this writer's take on the Band's performance (basically that he was disappointed that it didn't go far enough): http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/opinion/...rry-wilson

Thanks for posting that article.  Sounds like an impromptu rally at Larry Wilson's house is in order next time the Band is in LA.

It also sounds like it might be time for another "Apologies" halftime show, where the Band takes the blame for pretty much anything bad you can think of.  IIRC, they did one a few years back.

Finally, don't know if it's already been mentioned -- this thread FOURTEEN PAGES long, after all  :o -- but it strikes me as just a little ironic that, if Kansas State brings its band out to the game next year, the LSJUMB [such as it will be a few weeks before school starts] will be the only band on the field that wasn't actually fined this season [at least as far as I know...  ;) ]:
