So am I lying? Everything SU played from the kickoff though the middle of the 4th quarter was clean and powerful like it was at the BOTB? They started on time every time, and there were no phrasing problems at all?

Game smack is one thing fellas. If you have something personal to say to/about each other. Take it to PM's or e-mails. I wanna hear about the game, not 2 grown men arguing about stuff that had nothing to do with week 3 in Vegas.
Consider this the warning.

Originally posted by VegasVikingFirst of all everyone, this is my first post so please bear with me. I often just read these forums without posting, but I couldn't hold back on this one.
Let me preface this by stating that I have no allegiance or bias to either A&T or SU. I am a 1996 graduate of ECSU that currently lives in Las Vegas. I marched for ECSU from 92-94. My unbiased opinion follows:
Friday Night BOTB:
A&T really got the crowd on their feet with their entrance. Everyone was popping 90's and their dance break was hot. SU just marched in and took their seats. The crowd was expecting a little more from SU at that point.
Once in the stands, A&T took an early lead. They have GREAT sound and were well polished. On one of SU's first songs (the name escapes me), they botched the beginning. Apparently there was a miscue on when to begin the chorus. It was obvious to everyone in the arena.
Shortly after, the tide began to turn. SU began to win the crowd over when the guy sang "Turn Out the Lights." Also, SU's male dance troupe got the crowd on their feet. These in my opinion were "gimmicks" but did have positive effects in SU's favor.
After this, A&T's song selection hurt them. "How Can I Ease the Pain" was a beautiful arrangement, but not what I would've played in a BOTB, especially after SU had just gotten the crowd hyped. I have to give SU credit for "In Those Jeans."
Overall BOTB analysis:
Musicianship - A&T
Crowd Appeal - SU
Drumline Battle - SU
The Game:
I didn't get a good view of the battle in the stands so I'll reserve my comments to the field show.
Once again, great sound by A&T. Their drill on the other hand was horrible. Lines were crooked. One of their trombones needs his scholarship taken. He didn't know the drill OR the dance break and kept bumping into the trombone beside him.
Someone mentioned earlier in this post that it was the same old show from SU. This much is true. Their drill, the score formation, and the fat white kid dancing.......nothing new from SU. Their star formation was crooked on the left side at one point, but overall they were much more technical and precise than A&T. Once again SU won the crowd over with their dance break. Unfortunately, this Vegas crowd cares little about anything besides the dance routine.
Neither band was just spectacular on the field, but I'd have to give a slight edge to SU because of A&T's miscues.
Take this as you will. Just my unbiased, honest opinion.

You dont dispute the points I made, so you must be dancing around them because you quietly agree with me.

Things A&T clearly had over SU:
Discipline in the stands.
A&T looked and sounded like one unit all weekend. SU was starting songs before everyone was ready (weak opening to the first song they played at the BOTB, fight song a few times during the game) Also, why cant everybody do the "defense, JAGS, defense"? Most of the brass would stand up and do it, but only 3 or 4 of the woodwinds would stand up and participate. That looked somewhat tacky across the field. We would have gotten our arses kicked for trying some mess like that...

Intensity in the stands...on every song.
We know what SU is capable of, and when they crank it up, very few bands can match that power. The problem was that they sounded like they were under water and garbled during the game until the last half of the 4th quarter. Why is that? SU sounded "lazy" in the stands. That commitment to excellence that I saw in '94 (when I was marching) wasnt there on Saturday.
By the way...what did yall think of A&T's trombones?

SU is known for intensity. That is one thing that I have always respected about SU's program. I have been to quite a few SWAC games (those that know me know I been all over the place).
Question: were you at the game? Are you arguing about SU's reputation or what actually happened at the game. In the past, SU had intensity in the stands with everything they came with. Saturday it just wasnt there.
I challenge any unbiased person that was at the game (not marching in either band) to tell me that SU was intense throughout the whole game, and not just the last part of the 4th quarter.
Call me a liar.

Were you at the game? Are you doing all this gum flappin from a tape????? :lmao:
I want to hear from somebody who sat through the whole game and heard all the songs SU played, not just 1 or 2 from the last half of the 4th quarter.
SU96, why is there nobody that was in attendance backing you up? Why wont anybody that was there tell me I'm wrong about SU's intensity in the stands? Didnt at least one person from this board make the trip?
Why are they so silent? hmmmmm........
Man...Juke, he's talking about song like "Before I Let Go". Songs SU lights fire to, but doesn't blow up.Originally posted by A&T Brandmasta
