That s#1+ ain't fair, Sandi...

Holy Jesus.

On a completely unrelated note... anybody know any good birth certificate forgers?

Because while the consensus is that Academy, Pio, and PC (save for this year) all seem to be making good strides forward from a product standpoint, Surf appears to be regressing. Outside of the anomaly of 2012, Surf has been generally moving backwards in position and show quality since their move to World Class in 2009. I don't think anybody on these boards has an objection to the way Surf conducts themselves, or to their choices of show concepts and general corps image. The problem is that when so many corps seem to be advancing in design and quality these days, those that don't advance (or even regress) will drop like a rock and be quite noticeable. This has been happening to the Cavies since Gaines left, and it's been happening to Surf since 2009.

Until it rains, at least...

I haven't seen video of this battle, so I can't say for sure how Academy's behavior should've been. I'm all for the intimidation and having fun, but if they were actively ignoring Madison I have some issues. Playing the "you're not so tough" shtick is fine, but not even acknowledging that the other team is playing might be a tad too far. And that's not saying that the Academy just had to stand there. I was a part of that Surf line in 2013, and at our battle in Indy against BDB our center snare took his cell phone out of a pants pocket and started "judging" BDB right in front of them while they were playing (never crossing the line, of course ;) ) At one point, one of their snares dropped a stick, and luckily was able stop it from rolling across the line to this "judge." If he had gotten a hold of that stick, who knows what kind of hi-jinks would ensue? All I'm saying is you can have your fun, but certainly acknowledge the enemy in the ring. Honestly, the best intimidation comes from "degrading" your opponent, and is much more likely to get the crowd pumped. The way placements have been bouncing around this year, I wouldn't say that with 100% confidence until Semi's are over.

Not necessarily hate... it just needed something more. How much is being added besides the logo patch on the front?

Wasn't expecting that "colored pencil scratch" texture to actually be used on the uniform, but my god that is beautiful.

Same thoughts here... haven't been on Bridgeport's field since 2011, was looking forward to marching on it again.
