Hampton erased a 27-14 halftime deficit, returning two interceptions for long touchdowns, in a 48-27 victory at Princeton. More than 15,000 fans were on hand for just the second Ivy-vs-HBCU contest and the Hampton Marching Band -- the Force -- received a standing ovation following its halftime set. “This was a big-time college football atmosphere,” said Princeton Coach Roger Hughes. “I’m very proud of the way the team played, but we left points on the field because we didn’t execute. We need to get that fixed.”

O Hampton, we never can make thee a song Except as our lives do the singing,In service that will thy great spirit prolong, And send it through centuries ringing!

Princeton Stadium has a seating capacity of 27,800, with room for more than 30,000 in the building, compared with a 45,750 capacity for Palmer Stadium. To get a good feeling for the new facility, consider these two facts: Princeton Stadium sits 15 feet higher from the turf to the top point of the stadium than Palmer did, yet Princeton Stadium's closest seats are merely 17 feet away from the field.

Way to represent, HU! From the looks of the stands, the Pirates really showed up in the stands AND on the field for this game.

I also really like Princeton's Stadium. I was reading that this is a NEW stadium that actually replaced an old LARGER stadium. Interesting.

The Legion is certainly not known for its dancing and yet they were also well received by the Rutgers crowd. It's possible that the Princeton crowd appreciated the Force's MUSICAL abilities, especially since their "band's" claim to fame is spelling "CRAP" on the field.

Give our HBCU bands a little more credit, unknown3.

Baby Boy, dm was defending yall. But you can get me. When I read the "premier band in the nation" statement, I got tickled. Let's just say, "It takes so little to please some people."

There's a lot to be said about politeness and good manners, though.

Note: I edited this post like 5 times, cause I'm trying to be PC.

Don't hate because The Force has recieved more national exsposure than NSU. You know first you congratulate and then you jump on the hate wagon. I really wish you all could see the tape of this performance and you would see that they deserved every bit of what they recieved. I have not seen any articles about the NSU/ Rugters game, if so did any of the writers mention NSU's band? If so Good for you and congrats on your efforts. You speak of crap well a least The Force is capible of putting together a New show weekend and week out were as NSU may do the same show year after year, and you know I am not making that up......and for the record Hampton did not just dance the entire show as a matter of fact they danced less than normal....
