washingtoncorpsfan Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Velvet Knights = Harlem Globetrotters (Showmen!)Star of Indiana = Houston Comets (Aside from the obvious celestial comparisons, both were champions and both left their respective leagues way too soon!) Carolina Crown = Carolina Panthers (Aside from the geographical comparisons, both are relatively the same age, and they have consistently been building into a contender for the past few years, with minimal missteps) Cadets = NY Yankees (obvious) Blue Devils = L.A. Lakers SCV = Washington Redskins (Early success, won titles, legendary leaders who passed on, have made several changes in leadership lately and haven't found competitive success) Pioneer = L.A. Clippers (happy in last) Thank you! I've been trying to find a corps to relate to my beloved Redskins. That one hit the nail on the head. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdave Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 i beg to differ the Red wings is the most storied dynasty They're not even the most successful HOCKEY franchise ever. Montreal says hi. DING ! DING ! DING ! DING ! We have a winner !!! Blue Devils = Montreal Canadien Most championship wins but have been going thru a dark period recently !!

Matt_S Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I guess when you win about a third of the championships that DCI's handed out, a drought of one year can be seen as a dark period.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as BD is concerned, ''dark period'' was in reference to their style in recent years !! The Habs tho are in a dark period for championship wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_G Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 As far as BD is concerned, ''dark period'' was in reference to their style in recent years !! The Habs tho are in a dark period for championship wins They're still recovering from Rejean Houle... the Habs that is. If Houle ever took over a corps that would be a dark day indeed for the activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Madison 2002 = Oakland Raiders 2006-09. Talented group but not being used properly, and a legendary leader devoted to history, but dealing with lots of people questioning whether or not he still has it.

behold888 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Just to set the record straight, or to add a little factoid to the topic, Tom Aungst himself has said that the Cadets are like the NY Yankees. Mind you, he said this to a percussion section full of Red Sox fans lol. He himself is kind of a Red Sox fan, but mostly a Phillies fan. His point was that the NYY are known for class and hard work and year after year, people expect them to be the best. Source: I was there in 2006, spring training, Buckhannon, WV.

ColbyArmstrong20 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The Cavaliers - Pittsburgh Steelers...Tons of tradition, fiercely loyal and large fan base, generally loathed by other fans, Legendary leadership (Mr. Warren = Mr. Rooney), Predictable style yet always effective (Steelers - Tough D and Running Game, Cavaliers - Great Visual) Had to give the Green Machine a touch of Black and Gold, all these comparisons to the Red Wings were starting to make me sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
