Sure. Incredible as in NOT CREDIBLE.

I’m just fine with criticizing the U.S. and Americans where warranted (and it’s warranted plenty!). But this is just so, so dumb.
United States of…what’s that last word again?
It’s in the name. It’s a fine shorthand. This is a legit dumb thing to criticize us for.

Yeah this is precisely 0% surprising

🤞🤞🤞

Oh wait is FIFA corrupt? NO WAY!!

Heyyyyyy Jr, go fuck yourself.

I believe it...at the time (I'm a medium-old), the SMB didn't have the same amount of backing as it does now and the football team had been mostly bad for...well, a really long time. So it might well be different now, and in the end, we DID end up going.

…so there’s no guarantee the band would go with, even if the football team goes to a lesser bowl.
TL ; DR : sorry for the band kids but hopefully they get to do something else cool over break, with or without the band. 2/2

Yeaaaah but…if your bowl is somewhere less exciting as a destination, it’s even less appealing. Like the Motor City Bowl or whatever…and I say this as someone who spends a lot of time in Detroit but it’s really cold here right now. Moving a band around is also incredibly expensive 1/2

SERIOUSLY.
When I was in the marching band at Michigan State, the bowl we got to go to was the Silicon Valley “Classic.” Remember it? Of course not because it was a dumb bowl.
(I’m glad we were included but we very nearly were not, due to cost)

Yes, certainly ask Tom f**king Cotton about anything serious, as he is a serious person who should be taken seriously. 🙄
