I never got to be in stands when the Regiment streamers (TP?) were thrown. Or I don't remember seeing any in 02, 04-08 BI (before Indy). Wish I couldve witnessed that... If they look like they're trending toward top six by finals week, Regiment should sell them for finals night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time streamers were used was 1982 Spartacus- when Romans killed the rebels the red streamers was the bloodshed. In 1983 they were multi-color at end of 1812 Overture; crowd had them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain how a corps who is 3 points below another corps and the gap is being widened have a higher upside? These are the same people who predicted that phantom regiment would be in 10th place this year.. these people also say that everyone from SUV went to troopers or mandarins. They do not take into account the staff at phantom argument. These guys have done a lot and they have superior resumes. They are not going to start a show early that has no upside potential. People think just because you are relatively clean early in the year that that is all you are doing. You can be clean and still at onto your show. Basically a lot of people on here have no clue what they are talking about or they are just putting out clickbait to get replies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJugster Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I wasn't trying to set up any animosity but trying to learn. I know corps will go up and down for a number of reasons (show changes that work/don't, tired members, good/bad moral, lighting in a bottle, etc...) just curious why the same comment was mentioned a number of times. Once is ignorable (not a word but I made it up and it works), twice is interesting and 10+ is noticeable and was curious. All in all it is just conjecture this early in the season. With that said I was told there are some changes going in soon including at least one tonight. Not sure what they are but i hope they are impactful.

People sometimes repeat things a number of times to try and make it like a fact, even though it is not. The old saying if you repeat something enough times...etc. Not just these forums that does this to be sure.

Phantom Argument is a pretty appropriate nickname. 😂 Especially during the St. Angel years. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
