I'm going to assume that you are implying that the band should walk to dallas. The other thing you could have meant by that is just too horrible to consider.

With Jerry Jones involved I wouldn't doubt if he had Pop Evil do a full halftime show

Funny ... MGoBrian tweeted his indignation about the band not going and the first reply was a guy joking about Pop Evil going in the band's place.

I'll give them a hundred grand if they allow my family and I down on the field.

here are series of tweets from angelique chengelis:

Spoke to Dave Brandon re: MMB. Said it would cost $400K to transport band (private charters), twice the cost of transporting team to Texas

Brandon re: MMB: . "I would love to have the band there, but the cost is beyond what we can afford" said the $4.7 payout must go to ADept

Brandon is aware of the (YOUR) outrage: "I'm no happier not having our band down there than anyone else, but it's a practical reality."

Brandon: "Bowl game committees will pay the expenses for taking the band, and that's why we always take the band" (@SMH122)

For record, Ohio State band received $225,000 donation to travel to Austin, TX in 2006 and raised another $25 K (ht @Tim_Maysports) FWIW

Michigan statement: "We have not taken our band on similar trips in the past. "


note from ML - they usually use bus for road trips

another tweet back to angelique from a former daily sports writer now involved with Auto week magazine

You know what would be great? To see Brady, Long, Woodson etc, kick in some cash to get their band down to Texas

Roadtrip!!!!!!!!

ML you are correct. They usually do use buses for road trips, but that is within the Midwest. This is a lot longer of a ride. In the end it may be the route they take, but having talked to people within the band the MBB feels neglected. They are all using the quote from Bo, "The next time I go into a war, I want my band with me!" (This was after the close loss to Notre Dame, in which, the MMB was not present due to fiscal matters).

That would be awesome. It's time for our very successful NFL players to contribute

Road trip is the way to do it, even if only half the band could make it. If they opened a gas money kickstarter fund to make it easy for all interested parties to chip in, we could even pay for it. Probably won't happen for fear of litigation however.

i wouldn't be surprised if something gets going

there is a twitter campaign #MMBtoDallas going on

Start a fundraiser. It costs $400 large. Twice the amount to move the FOOTBALL team to Dallas. Not in the budget.
