  Indeed Southern University was the hot topic for last week’s article. But this week SU is hot once again because of their amazing marching band called the Human Juke Box.

  The football game that took place on Saturday was fun and exciting. Not only because Southern won but because of the many other interesting things going on during the game.

  First of all the SU Band was SMOKIN HOT! I hope Grambling State University is ready for the Battle of the Bands because Southern was bringing the heat at the game.

  They played the song “Stuntin Like My Daddy” by Lil Wayne featuring Birdman at the end of the game band battle against Texas Southern. Once they finished playing this song the crowd was blown away!

  The halftime show was awesome! The band did the traditional field show elements including: making the score, making the SU logo, and splitting up into four dancing sections.

  Once you thought the traditional show was over, Southern surprised us with a new unit of dancers. These dancers were interesting because instead of skinny girls they had full-size women.

  The women danced to Ludacris’ song Shake Your Money Maker played by Southern’s Band. The crowd was all smiles when these ladies came out and did their routine. The routine was HOT might I add!

  Almost everyone’s face looked like Beyonce’s face did when she saw Monique and her girls do their rendition of the “Crazy In Love” routine.

  I have to mention that the dancing dolls were marvelous as always. The cheerleaders were also spectacular. After one touchdown they did a countless amount of back flips across the whole touchdown area.

  There wasn’t a dull moment at the game and Southern’s Band as well as the dancers and cheerleaders have to be thanked for that. They truly made thegir homecomi game H O double T! HOTT!

  If you are interested in going to the Bayou Classic Battle of the Bands it will be on Friday, November 24, 2006 at the Louisiana Superdome from 7p.m. to 10p.m. Tickets are $15. Go to www.statefarmbayouclassic.com for more information.
