Blue Devils. My daughter was in Crossmen Color Guard that year (“Valkyrie” - love that show!), so I was watching her most of the time, but I was totally engrossed in the back and forth, especially starting in San Antonio…they never got more than .25 point for each other all the way to Indy. The race is something we will probably never see again, and it had me on the edge of my seat every night the scores were read. The most exciting race that I could remember, and no…..I am still not over the Finals announcement of “Blue……………….” Just ugh. 2019 was a special year, and Finals night really could have gone either way … so close. But BD came out on top, and I don’t begrudge them the victory. That night I raised a toast in their honor, and as I recall, the drink went down smoothly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s totally unique and interesting but is it worth the amount of time it takes up in the show? Yes 🫡 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a replay of Filliniesque in which BD is just too far ahead to catch. What was the record? And I don’t see them at this point as too far ahead to catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest score in San Antonio Regional history with a 92.60. Beating the previous score from the 2006 Cavaliers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a case of "fake news" being reported that a couple of boxes labeled KEYTAR were delivered to War Memorial Stadium this afternoon! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
