You can be a gladhander without being a [email protected]$$ and May knows nothing about the latter.

You're almost exactly 7 years older than me based on your profile info. I'm class of '15. My brother was probably a sophomore when you were a senior.

Dude do we know each other?

Shoutout to Francis Howell School District and FHN's English Dept for actually educating me.

My guess is Spoon, but it's probably wrong.

My ears are burning

I don't like May because he's a phony. Call me Holden Caulfield, but that gladhanding bull**** bothers me.

This is more to the truth. Milking donations and greasing palms is his specialty.

As an effective basketball AD? Yeah probably. As a human being? Hell no.

The green sweater he was wearing last game screamed Mr. Rogers lol.

Dweezil Zappa once did a tour playing his dad's music during an infamous lawsuit with his siblings called "Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the Fuok He Wants." I've always liked that attitude.

I was in the band, did you expect any differently?

I'm out of reactions, otherwise I'd upvote the dickens out of this.

Not joking, May is the Grima Wormtongue to Pestello's Theoden in this situation. This could be your Gandalf the White moment, Lord Elrond.

You're not wrong. Someone go up to Chaifetz next time he's in town. May has intentionally flanked Pestello in the past to prevent band members from talking to him, so just be prepared for that.

They got rid of Superstition when I was in because we couldn't nail the ending we changed to match the studio version Takin it to the Streets is still a favorite since I'm a big Doobies fan! Email [email protected] to help free the band.

Sounds like I'm making myself some cocktails

Band alums seriously feel exactly like this. Organize something, talk to people if you want it back. The band just wants control over its own destiny, I think above all. For the fans and for the students (and maybe for the sport). Music brings people together.

Nail ----> Head

They tried to stretch the existing band into an all-purpose band which was part of the issue. It was basketball only until the last 2 or 3 seasons.

Dayton is even worse this year, so it'll be super satisfying to knock them around.

You're not wrong, I'm just pessimistic without familiar faces. Change is tough.

When the team is doing well, they used to leave the band alone because they were more worried about selling tickets. Ford's occasionally rocky tenure has allowed them to be under a microscope.

Wish the team was Brooke and Mia are bright spots.

I just don't like being attacked. I agree with everything here, but legitimately there are multiple issues here and I'm not saying student mental health shouldn't be the focus of them because, above all, this is and should be a student experience. Billikenfan05 I know you're not the one doing it, but I just want people to stop acting like I'm some kind of class traitor here.
