Supa Dupa Tuba Cheer

[Goose]

Had to leave at half due to a toddler meltdown but does someone want to tell me where it was Saturday and how quickly CU is going to right that wrong tomorrow night?

 

[jsmilkst]

I don't know, but formal protests are needed. SDTC is CU legacy ****, we need it!

 

[Da Lama]

Hopefully it's gone forever. Total buzzkill.

 

[buffgal]

I think it was in the 2nd half on Saturday, but I can't tell you exactly where. I fell asleep when the game was still close.

 

[Bone Buff]

Was twittering Rumblin about this Saturday night, it did not happen.

Let us band kids have our fun

Ban

Ban

It's damn close.

Seriously, it's stupid but it's tradition. Consider it whining or whatever, but this is the kind of **** that gets basketball fans frustrated by the AD. Stupid self inflicted wounds that aren't necessary.

 

[MtnBuff]

If you don't like it, ignore it. It's one of those things that they use to fill a TV timeout. I don't care a lot either way but my kids love stuff like that.

These are the kinds of things that make going to college sporting events fun. It is dumb, it's goofy, it's a bunch of college kids doing what college kids do.

If you want some kind of choreographed professional act that has been run through the marketing department then go to a Nuggets game.

The other alternative is to have the fans staring at an empty floor during time outs.

Must have been the women's game vs. Wisconsin where I saw the tuba cheer.

The SDTC was definitely done at the WBB game versus Wisconsin. In fact I remember counting up the Tubas and there were, if memory serves, eight of them … most I ever remember seeing.

 

[Goose]

Rumblin said that they did it at the women's game. Which makes this even more baffling.

It was!

I did the same counting because I was so surprised at how many there were.

Also, had this not been a Colorado live stream, I would not have seen it. That means there would have been no way for me to see it at the men's game on Saturday as that was televised on Pac-12N

 

[HotRack]

Although the youngest is following in his brothers' volleyball footsteps, he plays a mean tuba. I have ancillary dreams of him being part of the CU Basketball band playing the Super Duper Tuba. Very disappointing if this fizzled out.

 

[buffgal]

This is a CU tradition. It better not be over.

 

[Heywood]

Any update from tonight?

per Ben Burrows, no supa dupa tuba. He's incensed.

can confirm it did not happen... Neither did the Roller Coaster in both games either

 

[WarBuff]

Confirmed - Neither tuba saw the floor.

 

[GoldenBuff]

I am also furious.

This is some bull$hit. The tuba cheer is a Colorado institution and I can’t believe they sent it off to a farm upstate without any sort of explanation. I’m already thinking about the angry message I will be sending to the AD tomorrow.

 

[BUFFering]

You know the basketball team is in a good place when this is what we’re getting angry about. #rolltad

Wait there is a roller coaster? My kid is gonna be pissed he missed that

 

[Buffalo Brad]

I think there were only 2 tubas in the band last night. Was not possible with what was in the pep band

 

[Blackdynamite]

I found out why:

 

[hokiehead]

I'm not happy about this development. In the SDTC, I thought I had actually discovered an in-game collegiate musical tradition more cheesy than dancing the Hokie-Pokie.

edit: well, maybe "as cheesy as dancing the Hokie-Pokie"

edit 2: no, that's not fair. as cheesy as the SDTC is, it's not nearly as bad as the H-P. <shakes it all about>

You only need one.

 

[GoBuffs!!]

Rumor is that since Half Fast Subs stopped sponsoring it, they stopped it

 

[Daaah]

Wtf?

I can't believe you guys do the hokie pokie...I did not know this. Yes, that's lame. Another lame one I can think of is Utah State used to sing I'm a Little Teapot under the leadership of some superfan. I thought that was the lamest thing I had ever seen. I don't think they do it anymore though.

But as lame as all of these things are, like others said, it's tradition. Duke surfs the devil, and it's really not that great, especially if you're regular game attendee and have seen it dozens of times, or even just twice. It's fun - it's college sports; lame **** is acceptable.

Even if they only have 2 tuba players this year, they need to figure something out to keep it going.
