💡My idea for halftime show: reward the best marching bands in America 🇺🇲

1. Best D1 band 2. Best HBCU band 3. Best high school band Or perhaps one or two of them can do the pregame instead.

That’s actually a really cool idea. **
Hoakie82 • 02/10/26 05:58 PM ET
So much for English being the unifying language in America.
jonnyhawk • 02/09/26 02:25 PM ET
I had a great time watching Bad Bunny; beautiful show, beautiful message
SeattleHokie89 • 02/09/26 12:55 PM ET
I had great time watching the other HT show. I agree, Love over hate**
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 02/10/26 07:45 AM ET
Does one have to understand the lyrics in order to enjoy the music?**
BROman Hokie • 02/09/26 12:43 PM ET
No. I rarely understand lyrics. I enjoy Latin music even though I have no
Maroon Baboon • 02/09/26 06:52 PM ET

Jwunderdog • 02/09/26 10:15 AM ET
How bad was it?
VPI63 • 02/08/26 10:49 PM ET
Omg, I did the same during halftime, opened up laptop worked on taxes.**
carhokies • 02/09/26 12:23 PM ET
Almost as bad as the game itself.**

Bburg Mac • 02/09/26 06:11 PM ET
The other halftime show you're talking about had 10 million views.**
carhokies • 02/09/26 12:25 PM ET

I wish they had Metallica did it in their hometown **
CvilleHokie04 • 02/08/26 09:03 PM ET
Didn't mind it. Much of it was visually appealing to me.

BobG • 02/09/26 02:22 PM ET
What, the twerking?**
Bburg Mac • 02/08/26 09:06 PM ET
To each his own I guess. I wish I understood, but I still enjoyed it.**
Hokie622 • 02/08/26 08:39 PM ET
Goodell is an idiot. Who was his target audience with that?**

marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 10:01 AM ET
Just not popular outside the U.S.**
Bburg Mac • 02/09/26 06:16 PM ET
have you been out of this country? NFL is growing tenfold
Windows NT • 02/09/26 10:43 AM ET
10-fold over almost nothing is still almost nothing.
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 12:24 PM ET
so you have never been out of the country**
Windows NT • 02/09/26 12:37 PM ET
Lots of times. As usual, you deflect & move goalposts when given facts
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 01:02 PM ET
sure you have, else you would know the NFL is extremely
Windows NT • 02/09/26 01:07 PM ET
Extremely? Pretty much only in North America.**
Bburg Mac • 02/09/26 06:10 PM ET
If you ignore reality and facts, you can believe anything.**
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 01:15 PM ET
They have a plan. Takes time just like it took time for futbol to expand
Va AandM • 02/09/26 10:29 AM ET
NFL's been trying to penetrate the international market for 35 years
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 12:35 PM ET
There are millions of soccer players in the U.S. of all backgrounds.
Bburg Mac • 02/09/26 06:26 PM ET

Windows NT • 02/08/26 10:30 PM ET
Please explain how it improves the NFL’s business?
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 09:45 AM ET
It doesn't...a pipe dream.**
Bburg Mac • 02/09/26 06:32 PM ET
it was approx 5 million out of billions? instead of losing billions
Windows NT • 02/09/26 10:36 AM ET
I swear you live in some alternate universe w/o facts & logic
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 12:56 PM ET
Viewership for the 2026 Soccer World Cup is expected to reach 6 BILLION
Bburg Mac • 02/09/26 06:40 PM ET

Windows NT • 02/09/26 01:10 PM ET
I know NFL is a license to print money. Without gambling, NFL would die.

That was the point ......
2hhoop3 • 02/09/26 08:07 AM ET
you didnt get it
Windows NT • 02/09/26 08:28 AM ET
Except you didn’t reinforce what he said. You contradicted it.
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 09:52 AM ET
Fair enough my mistake.....
2hhoop3 • 02/09/26 09:43 AM ET
Correct on all accounts.**

Still won’t be on my music list.
RJHokie • 02/09/26 06:55 PM ET
Exactly! I'm 70 and even I know about him...
Culpeper Hokie • 02/09/26 02:40 PM ET
I'm just short of 79, and must live under a rock. I'd never heard of him.**
