This loss doesn't bode well for the Jukes this early in the season. Doc is rolling in his grave over what they've become.
Doc would not care about no damn poll, thats why he never did Honda. LOL. If anything he would go back to being All Male and 128 pieces if that would be allowed if he was still living and in charge of the band.

So JR, you sayin that Doc didn't want women in his band? What did the doctor have against women?Doc would not care about no damn poll, thats why he never did Honda. LOL.

Hmmm, somebody just posted a poll in post #21 from the same school, soooo somebody's not in sync.No one gives a fugg about an online forum poll.

There isn’t a band that claims to be ranked #1 by USA Today consistently as evidence that they’re the best..
There isn’t a band that puts promos out trashing the other band including halftimes all last year during a war which I’m all for... but better come correct..
There isn’t a fan base that believes its band can do no wrong but in the same breath will tell you it’s band is the best...
Like I’ve said many of times, double standards at southern. Any other band and they lost this battle over a mess up... but southern gets a pass because it’s southern. All I do is hold y’all to that “ranked 1 by USA Today” standard ... carry on though.
There were women in the military during his time.He was military minded. Since he served. Ain’t no secret he was forced to take one. Personally it was a different vibe to band in my era without them.

Don't believe the hype. Mae Robinson Brown was one of the first females to march in a Southern band in the early 1950's. Mae Robinson Brown was the sister of Dr. Dollye M.E. Robinson.
As Valedictorian, Brown graduated from the school in 1953 and ventured to Southern university in Louisiana as a music major on a music and academic scholarship. When she left Brookhaven, AA Alexander was principal of the school that bears his family name. From Southern, she came back to the school as band director in 1957 again under Alexander's leadership. "There were 17 members left rom the year before," Brown remembered. And, there were very few band instruments for band members. Her starting salary was $2300 a year. that was a great deal of money for a young, single woman just graduating from college.

Was she in the band under Greggs? That’s the question. You’re acting as if you’re teaching something here hell Greggs marched under a female band director at Southern. Thanks for being a fan though!
Mostly everyone respected and was a fan of Greggs.

You do realize Doc graduated SU in 1948. I don't think the military was women friendly back then. LOL.
Dude, comparing a band to military combat is not a logical comparison in no form or fashion.The military didn't allow women in combat positions when I was in from 1985 to 1993. Just recently, military schools like VMI just started allowing admission to women. Doc Greggs had nothing against women, he just came from a different era/time period. I do believe up until the late 50's and the early 60's, Southern University's ROTC programs were segregated by men and women.

That was outright discrimination against women no matter how yall try and slice it.
Doc was a greater than average band director, but one can't shove aside his seemingly disdain for women (especially dark-skinned) in bands directed by him.

How long has Doc Greggs not been SU band director and how long has he been dead??? If Jayrob feels that compassion about Doc Greggs discriminatory way, he needs to file a lawsuit in East Baton Rouge Parish to set the record straight. I'm sure some ambulance chasing lawyer in Louisiana would love to his case and money.
The guy is pretty sad man.
FINALLY....a former Juke admits what folks have been saying for decades. Thanks this time for your honesty.It was no big secret Doc Greggs like light skin women. His wife Rose was a light skin woman whose family came from Natchitoches, LA. Her family is the Metoyer family, one of the first Creole families in Louisiana. Some men like them light and some men like them dark, which is a person's personal preference. And then there are men like me, I like beautiful women no matter how dark or light they are.
