Hands down - that rag tag group of alleged musicians that NAU calls their "band." :D

No comment due to the fact that I have never seen a halftime show. Halftime is my only opportunity during the game to go downstairs and smoke...

The world's record biggest country line dance - to Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart".

At a Cardinals game years ago in SDS. Absolutely excruciating.

I can proudly say I've never sat through, watched, or otherwise even slightly paid attention to a halftime show.

I saw an Aloha Bowl where the half-time show was that old lady with the red curly hair that has the little sheep hand puppet thing. She was singing some kids song.
It was disturbing. The crowd looked just dumbfounded.

Lamb Chop? Who the hell booked that act at a football game?

I think that lady passed away a couple years ago.

You should sue the Cardinals for cruel and unusual punishment!

Oh my God, I was there. 1992 season, my last in Arizona, though not because of the Achy Breaky Line dance. :rolleyes:

Did you stay for the after game Billy Ray concert? I couldn't get out of that stadium fast enough.

When they had Huey Lewis and the News play once though, that was different. :roll:

No, but we heard the "show" from Bandersnatch across the street. :shudder:

A year or 2 ago MC Hammer trying to rap a new song on a new album he apparently had at the time, at a Suns game.

"Hey everybody! Someone told me you guys were talking about me, so I thought I would drop in and say hi.

Hi!

Anywhoo...those "achy brakey heart" days sure were fun weren't they?

Well, gotta go, remember to catch me on "Doc" airing on Pax TV. Check you local listings for show times."

Anything with a marching band sucks.

I like the pee-wee football players, Punt-Pass-Kick competitions, and dogs catching frisbees!

Funny thing happened during one of the many halftimes in which the NAU "band" played.

My wife and I were laughing and ripping on NAU (aka Not A University) and it's almost inaudible band, and the people ahead of us turned and said "All 3 of our kids have gone to NAU." Without missing a beat, I said "You have my condolences." :D

Two years ago during the Alamo Bowl between Wash St. and Purdue they had some horrible boy band playing (to a bunch of drunk football fans - who's the genius that booked that!). I'm glad I only caught the first ten seconds.

The best halftime show I saw was in the mid 80s,it was halftime between ASU and Stanford.ASUs band played first and as soon as they got off the field the Stanford band unrolled a 50 yrd white strip from the 25 to the 25 yrd line and then on one end of the field you hear the beginnings of the song "White Punks On Dope"by The Tubes, then you see a huge nose formed by the band marching along the top half of the white strip and as it goes by the strip it is rolled up to look like it is snorting up. I never laugh so hard.
