Did SMU football's band troll Florida State Seminoles with 'sad' War Chant?
View Date:2024-12-23 19:39:07
When it comes to trolling fan bases and programs, college football is hard to beat — especially when the bands get involved.
During Saturday's ACC football debut for SMU against Florida State — a game that saw the Mustangs win 42-16 — the SMU Mustang Band appeared to troll Florida State with a "sad" version of the Seminoles' famed War Chant.
SMU's band took aim at FSU with the Mustangs leading 28-16 with 14:23 remaining in the game. The Seminoles had cut the lead to 12 late in the third quarter, though a potential score by running back Roderick Daniels Jr. threatened to extend the lead. The ruling on the field was he was short, but during the replay review, the band had its moment.

To add insult to injury, officials later ruled SMU scored on the play, giving the Mustangs a 35-16 lead following the point after attempt.
Florida State's band, the Marching Chiefs, did not make the trip because Hurricane Helene affected travel plans.
While FSU and SMU had zero football history before Saturday's contest, it should be noted that Florida State voted against SMU, Stanford, and Cal's admittance to the ACC last September.
"We appreciate the efforts of Commissioner Phillips and our conference partners," Florida State president Richard McCullough said in a statement. "There are many complicated factors that led us to vote no. That said, we welcome these truly outstanding institutions and look forward to working with them as our new partners in the Atlantic Coast Conference."
FSU and Clemson — which also voted no to the new additions — are in the middle of lawsuits against the ACC.
