San Antonio tried the ‘If you build it they will come’ approach, but it hasn’t worked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Washington fought the old browns moving to Baltimore to become the Ravens because they didn't want to lose the market share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too soon. Just kidding. Congratulations to the wolverines. I wish they were playing the Illini because I believe they’d give them a better game than Purdue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it'll end up getting your team into the CFP, and that CBus team could also still make it.... What a rematch at the end.... I'm sure it doesn't take an hour to get into the stadium at either place... Incidentally, Crown's Klesch arranged tOSU halftime show for this past weekend, and tOSU sounded quite a bit like Crown... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only heard a snippet from the half time show, while the talking heads were holding court, and I thought, “Hey … that sounds like Finis!” Edited November 29, 2022 by Jurassic Lancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandman28 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) It was a horrible experience. Was there a hour and a half early and still missed the first performance and half of the Marine Corps. Thank God I got to see Troopers as a lot of people were still trying to get seated. Then they announced an intermission which I needed to get a bottle of water for my wife to take her meds and cadets went on anyway so I had to stand to watch cadets and missed about the first minute of their show. Very disappointed with DCIs management of the event. On a positive, probably one of the best finals ever as every show was special, top to bottom.
