Of course.  My family needs a turkey present -- so I have to be there.

OK...OK...I'm going to ask it once and for all...

Please, somebody, explain to me the history of the Alfred Pep Band that makes it an annual discussion point.  I'm not dissing it -- I'm just trying to understand the history of it all!

Frank, we're just a little eccentric out here in Mayberry.  And there's good reason.  For instance, did you know that there is only one line on conduit which brings cable/internet into Alfred?  So, if say a garbage truck or a cement mixer were to run into one of those poles then the entire valley including both AU and ASC would be without internet and cable for hours.  And that brings me to my next point, it sucks to be without the internet all day because some idiot with a CDL knocks out a pole just outside of Alfred!

But, we're back online now and so I'll answer your question about the pep band.  When I was in college there hadn't been a pep band at Alfred since the 70s.  So, Pep, myself and few of my friends all started attending games as a kazoo band to cheer on our friend who was the 3rd string QB (and some special teams).  The current pep band was born out of this and we are much more pep than band which distinquishes us from most other pep bands who are typically more interested in their song list than the game.  We're a little over the top about our support which spills out onto the boards, but we're basically fans with instruments rather then musicians at a game.

My first ride into Alfred was in 1996.  I was concerned, not because of the 3 inches of snow... not because I forgot to bring a jacket... but because on the way to the school, I saw a sign outside a store:

"JOHN, YOUR SPARK PLUGS ARE IN."

I knew I was in trouble then.

And furthermore, quite Frankly, (Pep's pops is Frank and grandpops was Earnest...) AU Pep Band epitomizes all that Pep believes you, Frank, espouse in D3 football fans. The band from its inception has had as its aim to support our Saxons and to create a fun, positive atmosphere at AU football games where AU fans, when so inspired, have a means whereby they can have an avenue through which to express their support for their team. AU Pep Band tries to keep it positive.

AU Pep Band is, as Kaz00 explained, more apt to play music that directly responds to what has happened on the football field, rather than putting on a concert. AU Pep Band aims to blast out "the perfect cheer" rather than  play a difficult musical piece to wow the crowd.

The band aptly chanted, "Block that kick!" with the Fishermen lined up for the game-winning PAT Saterday and were thusly rewarded. Seemingly on a roll, the band followed that up with a successful "Win that toss!"

AU Pep Band has been supporting the Saxons since Fall 1999 and since 2001 has played at numerous away games, thanks to the AU Pep Bandwagon, a 1992 Grand Caravan with more than 308,000 miles that Pep has been driving since 9/11/01.

Frank, does that help any?

On Saxon Warriors!

So... What should Brockport look out for when playing Hartwick?

So... What should Brockport look out for when playing Hartwick? 

I hear that they are pretty weak at the QB position,  Port definitely has the advantage in that department...

If only we could have gotten them to play at Mount Boozer..
