the stanford band turns out to be hilarious....

In 1990, the band was booed off the field at the University of Oregon's Autzen Stadium because it spoofed both the logging industry and the environmental movement.

The skit ended when a band member cut a stuffed owl in half with a chainsaw.

Perhaps the most infamous stunt came at the 1997 Notre Dame game. The band mascot, a person in a tree costume, ran onto the field at Stanford Stadium wearing a nun's habit as the band's announcer called Notre Dame the "Blightin' Irish," referring to the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s.

The band introduced "Seamus O'Hungry," and described the Irish as a people whose "sparse cultural heritage consisted only of fighting, then starving."

The band still cannot go to games in South Bend.
