Can Pioneer pass Madison this year?

[Elmo Blatch]

As absurd as this idea would have sounded a month ago (and to many, it still probably is), the last two nights have witnessed Troopers passing Madison and Pioneer gaining ground on Madison. As of tonight, Pioneer is 4.8 off of Madison. While that 4.8 is quite a gap, Madison seems kinda stalled.

I bet the kids at Pioneer are running to their spots tomorrow.

What do you think?

Can they? Absolutely.

Will they? Probably not.

I imagine if Pioneer were to beat Madison, it would be like what happened when SW beat them last year...

I know what Pioneer's secret weapon is...towards the end of the year, when they are totally gaining ground, they are going to whip out some microphones and burst into "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly."

lol

I don't think so.

(But scoring does seem weird this season so far.)

I completely agree that they can catch Madison. I've seen 5 point gaps disappear almost overnight. But in my opinion, the probability of them passing Madison is fairly low. If anything, it makes rehearsal more interesting when you at least have a corps within 'striking distance' to shoot for.

It's really interesting to see the same people who say Boston can overtake the Bluecoats say that Pioneer can't beat Madison.

Interesting!

the fact that running to your spot isn't standard procedure at pioneer is exactly the reason they won't.
