Southern Vs. Jackson State 1983


The Juke Box was bringing some serious heat that day I had a few tunes from the stands but my tape some how grew legs.....................

I get as excited watching this ole clip as I did in '83... Wow! That was cool. I just let my son watch it. He was tripping on how much JSU fans were cheering when SU was coming off the field. I've told him about this performance and our '85 and '87 performances and how the JSU crowd and the SU crowd were both up hollaring. This shows him the ole' man ain't just over bragging about how things use to be and level to which we considered a successful performance.

Thanks again...

Peace...


JSU fans cheer for other bands nowadays too but not for TNSTate, Alcorn, and Southern... lol

We brought plenty heat that night. During my four years in the box I can't recall but one other game where we may have brought more Heat; that was a game against TennState in Nashville 1984.

However, in 1984 The Boom brought much heat to Mumford. Heat like I never experienced during my 10 yrs (jr high - College) of band competition. What I learned in 1984.... "Heat is much better applied than received".

...in the end band competition makes better bands...and hopefully better people. In all of the bashing you hear between the Box and the Boom, I don't think either will wish for the day when they cannot compete with the other.....

Good Day and God Bless

Oh how I wish we had some of that same halftime entertainment nowadays!

No ground humping...not that any of these bands do that...
Singing with clarity...actually hearing the soloists/artists
REAL R&B ballads!
Good times and props to both bands at the end of performances.
No tomfoolery bout stupid isht!

I MISS those days.... :sick:

Thanks for the memories!!!

:bowdown: to SU!
:bowdown: to JSU!

Much mad props from this Panther! :tup: KILLER performances!

I'm tryna' figure out who turned the Jags on to <i>Lakeside</i>. :confused:
 
Dayum!!! The Jukes brought it in '83. I can appreciate that performance much better now than I could as a 12 year old fan. JSU fans definitely appreciated that one. And got a concert to boot. Them cats was sanging. I never like singing at half, but that was on point.

JR,

I can almost see why you went to SU behind that. Almost. :D

Yeah man, I was sitting in the section where the Boom used to sit (other end of the stadium back then) with my C'way homeboys to watch the halftime. After SU was done......I looked at my boys and said I got to find out more about that school academically and if they had what I need then I will be at SU next year if the USNA thing don't come through..... well the rest is history. The Jukebox had Memorial on their feet. I was like :eek: Them mofos are some bad dudes. Not to mention as we walked around on the SU side I could see all the pretty honey babys that SU had in the stands. I was like damn......where is my application. LOL
 
Thanks for posting this video. I stumbled on this site while doing some random web surfing. '83 was my crab year. Dem brothers from Forest Brooks out of Houston was SMOKIN' on Baritones! Big Bob and the brothers from St. Aug were no joke either. I remember this game like it was yesterday. I stayed on campus with one of my homies that was in J-State's band. I couldn't believe the love I got from their home crowd while I was walking with him with my uniform still on. Nothing but HOUSE!! '83 was definitely a special year. Everything from practicing in the old band room with no AC to the hurricane during crab week, it was one of the best times of my life. No matter what you think about Roy Johnson, he was one of the best arrangers in any band in the country. He and Eric Baskin wrote some of the tightest music I've ever heard to this day. Do you have any more videos from '83? I remember the brother we called WWIII. He played bass drum and was fresh out of Marine boot camp. He passed out the first day of crab week running the 12 laps around the practice field. And Herb & Jeff getting zipped the night we got back from Houston for splitting Squirrel's head. And Marvin Yates (the Chancellor) having to come to practice and make peace between the band and the baseball team after they threw Chester White's nephew through the plate glass back by Dunn Hall (or was that '84?). Don't get me started on Bus 2! That brother "Snakehead" was an experience all to himself. I don't think there was ANYBODY that loved SU Band more than him. Man, those were the days! Straight Old School! I'd lose my mind if one of my boys was clowning like that today. It was a different time back then and things have changed. You had to EARN that "S" on your chest and you marched with the pride in the hard work it took to get it. I'm glad to see a lot of the foolishness gone, though.

Glad you are here Juke.. 83 was definitely my favorite SU band hands down...
 
Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to see you took care of business and got that paper. I graduated from the College of Engineering in '88.

WORD!!

My boy Ken aka Beaver (Oops lil cousin) crab class of 88 was just getting there, he also came out in EE...
So you learned about the "snake" from Dr. Singleton and them stickmen when following the circuit flow with Dr.Shaban, huh?....lol
 
Singleton!! Man, I haven't thought about that guy in years! I had to take Electromag Field Theory 3 times before I finally got out of there. I will never forget the day I walked in Porche's class with a band T-shirt on. He taught Networks I & II. Exact quote - "You're in the band? That's your problem - you're in the band! People in the band and people with cars and people that go home at 5 o'clock don't graduate in engineering. I suggest you drop my class!" God bless him! I wonder how he's doing now.

lmao @ Porche... He tried to give me the blue's when I walked in his class with a bald head and a band t-shirt... I figured his style out and kept him on my good side... Because he had too much against being in the band...lol This other professor was like that too.. Ole Billy D arse dude dating all the fine chicks in EE...lol He could stand us band folk... what ever we did wrong he blamed it on being in the band...

Singleton is still at it.. My lil brother is in his class now...

You've got an impressive family. Big ups to your folks for having two sons and a cousin doing it the right way. Is your brother in the band too?

Dude.
I was in the BOOM that year.
That was one of the largest crowds for a JSU/SU game.
57,000 fans and it was HOMECOMMING.

The sad part of that night was.............:smh:
We didn't have shat and we knew it when we got off the bus.
No show, nothing in the stands...........nothing ..............:lol:
1983 was a BAAAAAAD year for us.

When we marched in that game and lined up for the pre-game show in the endzone, SU cranked up the theme song from SOUL TRAIN and damm near blew our plum's off. :lol:

It's sad how the Jukebox has been beating up on everyone all these years! :lol:

We came to SU in 1982 and blew ya'll out.
We came back in 1984 after the 1983 debacle and ran ya'll out of Mumford with Patrice Johnson singing "I'm telling You". :lol:

LOL @ Frat. Hell I felt that all the way up in the stands. Me and my fellow Callaway band members who were there.....looked at each other and if you could insert the Ice Cube/Chris Tucker "DAMN!" moment in Friday......that was us.

I was like them mofos aint no fugging joke. I then started visualizing JR in that uniform with the "S" on the chest. :lol:
