[edit] Notable History

The section on notable activities is a bit dense, and more of a list of everything rather than the important events in Band history. Someone who is more familiar with scband history might like to simplify it? I might be able to do a bit, but don't want to lose something that's actually important. --Rocksanddirt 05:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daily Routine?

Is this really a necessary or useful addition to the article? It seems a bit superfluous to me...--Sarichkaa 04:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)sarichkaa

[edit] NPOV?

This reads like an ad. I was about to go in and revert some vandalism, but it looks like the the "real" content is about as un-encyclopedic as the vandalism! I'll go revert the edits anyway, but this article needs an overhaul. Rob* 09:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warmup starts at

6:34 AM? Clearly, there's a story there... Anyone know what it is?

Vandalism, it starts at 6:30 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbowlbound (talk • contribs) 16:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BIG copyvio problem

The "History" section is a blatant cut-and-paste from the band's official history page. Unless they gave permission or posted it themselves, it needs to either be deleted or rewritten in a noninfringing form. — Dale Arnett (talk) 05:34, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

With the way its written there (with the links, etc), it almost looks like they copied it from here. The article was more or less in this state as of late 2005, that page is (c) 2006. Still, a rewrite couldn't hurt. --Bobak (talk) 15:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
well if its plagiarized it needs to go. So goodbye history section, someone needs to rewrite it Superbowlbound (talk) 16:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism

Wikipedia:Plagiarism. Please see that for Wikipedias policy. This article is almost all plagiarized as well as a lack of NPOV. It needs to be heavily redone. Superbowlbound (talk) 16:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

As Bobak said above, The "Official" Band history page is actually a cut and paste of this Wikipedia entry. I am the original author/researcher of the timeline in the late '90's and posted it to the Geocities page linked in the references. I then moved that data over to Wikipedia for wider distribution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Embowafa34 (talk • contribs) 21:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, much of the history deleted last month was written by me for the Geocities site. MisfitToys (talk) 21:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm glad we finally got some explanation. Can we add to why we have such specific times on the gameday routine? It's a bit confusing without any background and does look like a mistake. Wikipedia would be a great place to explain it (esp. if there's a source). --Bobak (talk) 22:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I doubt that you'll find a reputable source; the explanation is patently off-color. MisfitToys (talk) 22:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
If there's no reliable source, then the material cannot be included in wikipedia as it is original research. -- Upholder (talk) 22:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
But one could argue, I suppose, that the item is verifiable through direct observation of the primary source (which is possible several times each autumn). MisfitToys (talk) 00:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
How about an email from someone currently in the band? --Bobak (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The 34 reference is, well, a bit sexual. It refersto aman (the "4) having sex with a busty girl ( the 3). We were nerds back then...also, would like to add that we were also in he TV show LA LAW. Just and FYI... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.7.190 (talk) 07:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
