On Sunday, just before embarking on Jam Cruise 10 (@jamcruise), Umphrey’s McGee (@umphreysmcgee) band members challenged their crew members to a game of “two-hand shove” football. A live nearly play-by-play recap of the action went down on the band’s twitter feed during the game, with band members Ryan Stasik (@ryanstasik) and Joel Cummins (@goldlikejoel) and crew member Jeff Waful (@jeffersonwaful) adding a bit of color commentary.


Tune in at 2:30 ET today for live tweeting of UM band vs. crew ‘two-hand shove’ football game. Playoffs? Playoffs!?!

Pony dropped a bomb from Joel Montana. Bayliss can’t reach next one. Team is rusty.

Crew walks down the field for second touchdown. Seems that the band was lulled into complacency by an easy schedule.

Kris tells old man at park that they play in a band. Guy puzzled, thinks he said they are “banned.” Odd, he says, “they look normal.”
