They say they were trying to make the Starship Enterprise battling their rival's mascot -- the Jayhawk. Instead, they ended up apologizing for making a giant penis.

The Kansas State marching band, also known as "the Pride of Wildcat Land," decided to make the formation on the field in the shape of a Jayhawk -- which is their main rival's mascot. The Jayhawk was supposed to be battling the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek, for the Star Trek themed half-time show. The marching band was able to create a Jayhawk looking formation on the left side of the field, but the spaceship ended up looking like a penis more than the U.S.S. Enterprise. To make matters worse, the spaceship at one point in the performance attacks the Jayhawk, but it looked more like the penis entered the mouth of the Jayhawk.

The marching band was forced to publicly apologize the next day for the performance. The director of the marching band, Frank Tracz, even released the blueprints for the performance, to show what they were trying to create.

Social media blew up right after the performance, with people asking why they didn't see what the spaceship looked like. Also, the website SBNation made a list of the reasons why the "attack plan" of the U.S.S. Enterprise against the intergalactic Jayhawk. Even if you aren't a big science fiction buff, the points that SBNation make are pretty compelling.

Kirk would NEVER ram the saucer section of the Enterprise into an Intergalactic Jayhawk.

This is just common sense. You're captain of USS' flagship, which means you basically have four jobs: To explore new worlds, seek out new life, boldly go where no one has gone before and DON'T KILL YOUR CREW.  The bridge of the NCC-1701 was on top of the saucer section. We're supposed to believe Kirk would risk his entire ship and crew by ramming a Jayhawk over using photon torpedoes and phasers? I sure don't.
