Stanford is ready to unveil its $100 million stadium renovation Saturday against Navy, but not everybody is invited. The school's marching band has been banned from the game. In July, members allegedly vandalized an on-campus trailer that had served as the band's temporary home while it waited to move into a state-of-the-art $2.8 million facility. The damage, estimated at $50,000, led to the suspension. In addition, the Santa Clara County District Attorney is reportedly considering criminal charges against several band members. Now the Stanford band has a long list of infractions, including a suspension for urinating on the field. And in 1991, at Notre Dame, a band member dressed as a nun and conducted the band with a crucifix instead of a baton.

And... they suck

That school has so much money it makes me sick. Beautiful campus... Beautiful. But it's full of spoiled brats like those band members.
Writers for the UW Daily suck.
