Dont get me started on last nights visual scores. Rhythm X got screwed

It was 99

No it was a tour show the day after Canada Day in 1999 at the Buffalo Bisons field. I got mixed up

I saw someone from that corp fall in Buffalo because we were in a baseball stadium and they still had the mound up

Thats a bad analogy as age brackets in youth sports are for size and skill differences. A 16 year old wouldn't play tee ball because tee ball is for 3-6 year olds and uses equipment that is way too small for a 16 year old. Those size and skill differences do not exist as much in drum corps.

Well as long as a visual judge doesn't give a max score after someone falls down, I'm happy.

1993 is when I also first discovered DCI on PBS. Add 2011 and your list pretty much matches mine.

We will have to agree to disagree on certain years (15, 19, 22 and even though I get trolled for it 09) I have no issue with 10, 12, 14 and 17 because I agree with the consensus that they were the best in those years, even if I did not like those all of those shows (I actually really liked 10 and think its one of the most interesting and innovative concepts ever put on a football field)

I like those who recognize evil when the see it lol.

probably. I think there was a general Cadets fatigue in the 80s and early 90s, Cavies fatigue in the early ots and now BD fatigue. BD has won 10 out of the last 15 championships, how can it not be fatigue?

So BD fatigue is not a thing? Jeff is right that you can call 15 and 19 toss ups (I would put 22 in there too) but when one corps wins ALL the toss ups, people get tired of it.

Sure more people connected with recent shows, but I think their last 4 or 5 titles should have gone to someone else. 15 should have 100% gone to crown, 19, 22 and maybe 23 should have gone to the Bluecoats. There is major BD fatigue and that is because again and again shows that more people like are losing to BD.

I knew he was abused somehow.

Neil Reid. The player that Bobby Knight threw the chair at, transferred to the University of Southern Mississippi, where I went to college. We were actually pretty good, lost in the finals of the CUSA tournament. (I cant remember if it was to Cincinnati or Marquette with Dwayne Wade, all of my college year memories are mixing together) Just thought I would share my highly tertiary connection to Bobby Knight.

That would make me feel special
