Orange Bowl administrators, determined to make tonight’s matchup between No. 5 Stanford and No. 12 Virginia Tech less entertaining, have decided to bar Stanford’s irreverent band from performing at halftime.

The move comes after the band announced its show was entitled: “Recent Events in the Pro Sports World in Miami.”

Apparently bowl officials were concerned that the band might mock LeBron James and hurt his feelings.

MSNBC recounts some previous Stanford band halftime shows that may have weighed on the Orange Bowl’s decision:

* In Los Angeles during the O.J. Simpson saga, “the band pulled out a white van covered in bloody handprints.”

* “Also in LA, they spoofed the USC alum who started Girls Gone Wild when their announcer said, ‘It takes a special kind of man to be wanted for sexual harassment, drug trafficking, tax evasion, prostitution, child abuse and disruptive flatulence.'”

* “During a game with Notre Dame the Band’s show was entitled ‘The Irish, Why Must They Fight?’ Using a crucifix as a baton got them banned from the campus.”

* “In 1970, in Arkansas, they dropped trousers, as a unit, at halftime.”
