Can Anybody Beat the Bucs?

[euphononium]

After finally seeing them in Chambersburg, I was wondering:

Based on the last set of rankings and what you have seen personally, do you think that someone could beat the Buccaneers?

If not, why?! What makes the Buccaneers so much better than everybody else?

I certainly hope so, although I'm not too sure it will happen.

Discuss, please!

Looking at your poll results, it looks as if folks have voted overwhelmingly that it will be the Hurcs.

OK, I think I'm the only one who voted, and I am sort of a homer after about 15 years with the corps, but... I'm just sayin'...

It would be nice though...

Anyone have a multi-color toy stuffed parrot? And a bucket of dirt for the lightning bolt? (you had to be there)

As a proud and loyal alumnus, I have to believe my Cabs have a decent shot. Plus, I'm pulling for my daughter and the other members I know personally to give it their effort and make a run at the title.

History has shown it's possible. Remember 2003? Brigs seemed invincible -- until West Haven, the last regular season show. 1972 -- Sky's first loss all season, just one week before the Championship also. Both times, it was Hawthorne, making their late-season surge. The show is there, and so is the desire and the work ethic, just as it has always been.

Yes, I am biased, and make no apologies! Taking nothing away from the Bucs, or from Hurcs and Empire, I just have to pull for my 'alma mater.'

As Tug McGraw used to say, "Ya gotta believe!" Go Cabs!

I'm thinking Rocky and Bullwinkle..."tune in next week for "Can Anybody Beat the Bucs?....or....can 1981 happen again?"

Guess one would need the way back machine to remember that one!

can "anyone" beat the Bucs?

No, not anyone............... but maybe someone.

Sky was the first to take the title from them......then the Hurcs, Cabs, Sun, Bush, Empire, Westshore, and the Brigs.

Nine different open champions since the start of DCA. Who will be the tenth unique champion?

Joe

Nope. Too predictable. All the good action is in A class and the middle pack of Open Class

who knows, haven't seen enough. But for older Bucs, I'm sure the thought of a 1981 repeat gnaws at them

Dude! tell me about it! I'm even tired of the '81 stories!!! And I'm usually the one telling them.

A nice championship would feel good right about now. (Am I giving off any jealousy here? Can you tell? Sucks to get old.)
