This is funny you are amped about making a Box turn into a Diamond then turning the Diamond into a flower. The sad part is JSU is the most predictable band in all of HBCU's from Halftime to stand presentation. Yall have done the same formula for going on 30 years and have not evolved since.

An if NSU is so boring why is it that they are always talked about as one of the best bands every year. I haven't heard JSU talked about in that conversation in almost 10 years.

Dude, you ain't got to talk about JSU in that conversation. That is a given. And since you ain't heard about JSU being good in ten years, I guess you didn't hear about Honda last year or whenever it was JSU went. Simply put, you ain't listening. Ain't nobody talkin about NSU but a few MEAC people. Everyone else knows where the best bands are. Your band is talked about as up and coming. That is why you need something like Honda and JSU does not. You are trying to get where JSU is.

Yes, JSU could change some things up a bit and we do from time to time but we have a formula that works just like Southern. We have something that ain't broke so we only have to tweek it. Nothing you have come up with so far can touch it and if JSU abandons it, it will be copied. People KNOW the things that are standard to the BOOM and we look foward to hearing those things. All you have is BEHOLD that was written by a SU alum and former BOOM staff member.

You know why you don't have to talk about JSU because yall are not a factor anymore. Hell yall not even the second best band in the SWAC. I know yall must be tired of getting Hoe Slapped by SU every year now the other swac schools are starting to do it now.

Please tell me you not trying to compare your Honda show to anything NSU have done. Like I said a FAT GUY with a grill on a field is really preserving the craft that HBCU marching bands have laid down. Trust me NSU dosen't need Honda to validate how good our band is.

Just face it JSU is a band that is a shell of it's former self that is living off the past.

I can't see the clips you posted but are those clips gonna show me:

1. That NSU drills better than JSU
2. Sounds better than JSU
3. Have better dancers than JSU
4. Is more exciting to watch than JSU

I am sure that 1, 2, and 4 are a resounding no. Even if you go to the other Honda thread on here, Alpha72 said you were boring. If you can answer yes, to at least three of those questions, I will look at those clips. I have already gave you props for your sound but your sound ain't so much much better than ours to act like you doing something.

...and obviously you ain't seen JSU battle SU lately. LOL Not one single band in the MEAC can touch JSU. All ya'll want to do is talk about our gimmicks and act like there is nothing more to our band except a 30 second segment. Like I said discuss the real issues of drilling, halftime entertainment and sound. Gimmicks from time to time is just what we are known for...we been doing it since the 80's and others have tried to emulate it and look stupid doing it. It works for JSU. Other bands have the crowd asking why?

...and for the record, ain't nobody but a few band folks ever gave a dayum about no NSU. When JSU was going to Hampton and A&T, people got excited. If NSU was going to play AlaState, no one would care. Your band is not up there yet. You are just a good band...you ain't no icon in this arena and you probably never will be unless you do MUCH better than you are doing now. Alpha72 done alreay said you boring so how you gonna come up to the top?

Alpha, I knew you could not name anything. YOU say your band is better, I just asked you to tell me in what aspect and I heard crickets. Bless your heart but BCC just ain't got it when making a comparison to JSU. I know you are good person so you won't lie. See, ya'll can sit over here and have this BCC-NSU love fest in your own little corner but at some point, you all have to face the rest of band world...the one that (like it or not) is ran by JSU, SU, TNState, FAMU and Grambling. Live with it. Powerade may be good but it won't ever be Gatorade.

JSU is not what they use to be. Yall have become the three ring circus of bands that has not progressed in the last 10 years. Best part about yall show is Rock The House and yall use that to save an other wise crapy halftime show.

So here's a news flash with all the fat guys, Twans twirling, Mascots popping, and little kids dressed like tigers your shows are over rated and over done.

Somebody take TigerPride's blood pressure...I can see the veins in his temple.

I'm mad at myself for reading all of this dude's kicking and screaming. Sike, I ain't that self-righteous. Somebody provoke him again so I can be entertained some more. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself.

Hey TP, being popular doesn't make you great. My high school girlfriend was popular, but.....nevermind

Go on over there and sit. =======>

I really like JSU...and YES they did "ROCK DA HONDA" in 06...the only criticism I see with the Boom is their drilling precision...I mean they are almost a total package band...exciting intros, great field song selection, energy, complex and eye appealing formations, HOT AZZ Jsettes, grooving ballads, great arrangements and song repetoire, quality sound (it aint HD like FAMU but it's still good ), and entertaining dance routines...if they could only get those lines more straight...then they'd be very close to perfection...however with the status quo...ask any bandhead who are the TOP 4 HBCU bands...and 90% of the time JSU will still be listed...

As far as NSU having simple drills...YEAH RIGHT!!! Next to SU...NSU is arguably one of the most precise, cleanest marching ensembles WHILE executing complex formations....Tigerpride you have to understand that just like all bands dont execute pageantry/animation formations (ala FAMU)...they also dont all execute patterns in motion/kaleidoscope drills (ala JSU, TSU, SU)...I think what NSU does is closer to curvilinear/corp style (NSU folk help me out here)...in fact PV does something quite similar if I'm not mistaken...and I think it's unique (and smart) how NSU keeps their bells/horns forward at all times to maximize their sound/volume propagation...

JB...I understand your point...but I think JSU is popular because they are great...

Shhhhhh Rocketpwr! You're going to mess up Tigerpride's tirade. I'll let you in on a little secret...Jackson State is one of my favorite bands. Certainly my favorite SWAC band. I've said as much in different post.

Promise not to tell TigerPride. Things are a whole lot funnier with him thinking everybody is against him.

Hey Dr. TP, yall still better than VSU-even with that headnod. Oh yeah.

uuum JB, my pressure is not up. I am laughin at these folks yo. I know everyone is not against me....I read these boards and I see crowd reaction when JSU goes against someone and I HAVE SEEN THE NSU AND BCC and while they are aiight, they ain't no JSU.

Alpha, I see no one seems to agree with you.

Rocketpwr,

We have way more problems than that but given that we try to do our best in everything, it's hard to achieve that in 2008. No one talks about PVs drilling either. Maybe it's just me but making straight lines on half of one song is not impressive to me as a drill. That's like JSU doing the intro, Tiger Run, the floating JSU and then be done..... I would think JSU was sorry if that is all we did but at least we TRY to drill. I don't call NSU's 30 second drills a try.

LOL@the Swac band geek. Ok dude....if you really think JSU is head and shoulders above the rest of the band world...thats cool. However, for you to come up here and try to degrade a band that you have admittedly NO knowlege of (concept wise, history, etc..) really speaks on your character. You gave 4 categories...sound ...um, hell yeah NSU sound better than JSU wanna be like SU ayis. Ya'll use to have a superior sound, but nowadays ya'll are falling into that vicious SWAC circle. Everybody wanna blow like Southern, but don't have the players to quite get the job done. You mentioned dancers...this may be the only category you have us on presently. Our dancers have been falling off the last couple of years...but they still are no easy wins.

The drilling issue is what kills me about you JSU posters. Ya'll are not a good drilling band yourselves. You do recycled diamonds every year and march 45's the whole time. Whoopty dayum doo! We do curvilinear drills that manipulate lines from the center to the edges in kaliedascope fashion...however, if your intelligence is limited to showstyle formations...you won't get it. We only stand still for the flag routine, and dance girls routine. However, we march 90's at ALL times, and execute flawlessly on the field. JSU lines look like bacteria in a microscope.

Do we entertain...umm...yeah. Now we are not a dancing band, but we wouldn't have the strong group of supporters that we do if they were not entertained. We entertain without sacrificing dignity, having sweet foot flame twirlers, fat white dudes, Tony the tigers nephews, clowns, spiderman...etc.. We have a fan base that appreciates what we do, and that is good enough. Lol @ you basing our entertainment value off of one guys opinion. Swac peeps are so gullable. I think ya'll fieldshows are Lame...does that make it fact?
We don't want to be famous...lol. It's just band. Peeps that marched for JSU, SU, FAMU, GRAM...whoever ain't making no more money than me. They aren't any more famous than me. And their band is no better than mine. Ya'll band geeks like to brag on popularity from the past and "consistency", but what have you done for me lately? How good are you now compared to your competition? You can say what you want about NSU..but I can honestly say that they have not taken an L this millenium(2000's)...can your band say that?

They don't pay my bills either. What's your point?

You're still better than Valdosa Tech.

Uh, I guess I didn't hit that quote button "dead on", but I still say you're better than Valdosta dammit.

TP, I just like watching you re-type what you typed after last year's Honda. Do you have that like stored somewhere for easy access or something? I gloss read most of them because they really are the same. Some thangs just neva change.

uuum, you edited my post? What did I say...cause I shole don't remember...LOL

Anyway, I may say the same thing....don't remember that either but you know what they say....you can only tell the TRUTH one way. If you lying, the story changes. Oh well.

JSU just needs to stop having little kids in tiger uniforms doing sexual moves. Other than that, they are ok.

I didn't MEAN to edit it. I was trying to quote you and not multi-tasking too well. You didn't say anything bad, I'm just blind and half paying attention.

You make a pretty good point about that truth thingy. Ours just differs but I still luvs more than I can say. You did make up one thing though. You said that I said (yeah that) that NSU was boring. I never said anything of the kind. I said yall were better than Miles.

No wonder this thread is still going, you all changed subjects!

Now, JSU is one of my favorite bands, but they ain't the "100." I don't have a problem with the little kids hunching the wall (they could end up with ED, but that's another topic in itself), but TP has a lot of "P" when he says that no band in the MEAC can hang with the sonic boom.

Please.

I can name at least one.

Alpha, this is what you said...TP's translation: NSU sounds GREAT but otherwise they give me the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's.

If you want eargasmic, you can count on the Legion. There is NO other band that I've heard that can complete with their sound.

If you want to be awed by sight and sound, you look toward the 100.

If you wanna see a band skrate show out, you might wanna invite the Pride.

You're not gonna get short-changed either way you look at it.

Hey, buster. Dat's not the same as saying they give somebody the zzzzzzzzz's. Don't you go putting werds in people's mouf.

TP just wanna start a wah. Gwan now. Git.

Yall better than UM. Lots better.

Wow, where have I been while all this is going on?

Is this guy for real? LOL

Dude, to respond to a post of yours in the third page of this topic... Cookman will outperform Jackson State to dirt in a head to head clash at a football game. Our halftime shows alone will outshine anything JSU does.

Wait, actually this already happened: Charlotte BOTB 2004. JSU claims they decided to take themselves off the competition. Even if that's true, their field show still would've placed 2nd.

Calling it spade for spade. Drills are descent, the dance girls are descent and the dance routines are just poor. But hey, nice intro, though. *thumbs up*

I really like NSU band. They do what they do very well. Strong Brass. That being said I saw them take two azz whoopings in Bragg on the same day with the same shytty attitude. Of course they took one on the field at halftime. Then upon departure they push some lil thugs and took an "L" in the middle of Wahnish Way by 30+ knukleheads. The 1st half of the band didn't even stop to help. Luckily the police reacted quickly before it got worse.
