I believe that Bartner is retiring at the end of this year.  Apparently, he has decided to do a "victory tour" of the Pac-12 so folks will remember him...

I remember reading, and I believe it was on this board, a brief mention that there was a problem with the USC band in our house sometime during this decade.  Stanford was going to ban them for the next game.  Because their band has an ongoing record of never missing a road game, and it was now in jeopardy, their university president personally called Hennessy to change the decision.  Anybody recall this, and have any info on what the transgression was?

Eh .... These band "disrespect" claims by overly agitated fans strike me hollow.  

I remember the Oklahoma St fans claiming the same lack of respect when Stanford played their normal "Hail Stanford, Hail" post-game song, softly and in dirge style, after our Fiesta Bowl loss. Mind you, they were playing it on the FAR side of the stadium during the post game trophy presentation and amid the head coach comments which had gone on forever. (The OK St coach never saw a microphone he didn't think needed extra work).  You'd think Stanford's band was T.O. dancing on the Dallas Star and then peeing on it afterwards for good measure if you read the Cowboy fanboards the next day. They also didn't like our take on the lyrics (I kid you not!) from the musical "Oklahoma".   Yet, I was there and barely heard our band playing from the nearby Mezzanine walkway where I was waiting to hear it.

There's always someone pounding on the outrage snare drum given half a chance.

I think that is a good perspective.  And yes, we've been on the other side of overly sensitive opposing teams getting their panties in a bunch over something offensive the band ostensibly played. 

However, in this particular case, it was during a tribute for a player who had passed away.  This isn't simply "bad taste" or even outright symbolic disrespect (like dancing on the Dallas Star, minus the urination) for a team, it was disrespect for someone who died.

And with the Fiesta Bowl, our band was all the way on the other side of theirs on a neutral field.  In this case, USC was a guest at Cal's field.

Gee, I wonder what caused the "breakdown in communications?"  Maybe it was because they couldn't hear due to playing that ridiculous fight song over and over, again and again, over and over, again and again...
