I was BORN IN 1962!
There has always been a rivalry among JSU and SU. It started in the 70's and gained the intensity that it has today through the 80's when i was in the Boom, 90's and the 00's. The rivalries also started when your fresh college grads were hired from both Universities and would switch and swap musical arrangements. Some one who arranged music for JSU would get hired at Southern and they would bring that school's musical arrangements, styles, secrets, with them and vice-versa.
But now the "YOUNGGUNS" have added a new demension to the HBCU Band Rivalry that has never been associated with our Rich Heritage. "Gangs, Guns & Violence". It used to be good -wholesome, clean rivalry. Now,:redhot: this --it has gone to he-- in a hand-basket.
