Marching bands are a big part of collegiate football and are mostly known for doing awesome song renditions and really cool formations. Unfortunately during a Kansas State football game against South Dakota on Saturday, the former school’s marching band made a very controversial formation: It appeared like the University of Kansas’s mascot, a Jayhawk was eating what looked to be a penis. The two schools’ teams are rivals, but weren’t even playing each other at the time.
On Facebook, the director of the Kansas State band sort of apologized, but mostly defended the formation by saying it was actually a spaceship, more specifically the Starship Enterprise.
The halftime theme’s show was “space,” with formations inspired by Star Trek and Star Wars.
Hmmm…. Check the directors explanation and what it was supposed to be in the gallery above. Check out what actually happened below.
So I made a gif from my photos… #ksuband pic.twitter.com/TU9bWoDe4I
