Show just doesn't engage the audience, certainly a design issue. MMs are definitely getting better.

Just got home, WOW Blue Stars! I LOVE the changes!!!!! If people are still putting them out of finals they're stupid, they're starting to get REALLY clean, if they've improved that much how much more can they go? Sky is the limit IMO, and I'm done being a honk on my favorite corps. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cavies show this year is a commentary on just how incredibly difficult it is to stay on top year after year, and how incredibly demanding we are as fans.

Dude I had to give you a negative for this .. not because I don't agree with you .. not because you might be right ... not because I'm a BD borg by any stretch of the imagination. It's just a tired argument. It's part of their winning formula. This year is supposed to be different on different sheets .. if they still get rewarded them shame on the DCI Judging establishment ...but man put down the hateraid

I would prefer it if you did not categorize me as a hater. I have been a HUGE BD since I saw them for the 1st time in 1977. It just bothers me as well as lot of others that what they are currently doing is not worthy of the scores they receive.

I'm not so impressed with Boo's blog ... he usually is full of enthusiasm for all, but his Cavies comments were a bit ... unusual ...

I was under the impression that he had seen every corps by now ... I guess not.

As much as I love this, Cavies going on so late will make it really tough to get put below Spirit. Certainly a possibility after this weekend, but judges would have to be really on to make that call if it is warranted.
