And we all know the people out west should get a look at some of the awesome corps out east more often!! I’d argue vice versa too, imagine if BD did that?? Folks on this forum would go nuclear if they go undefeated then on an early east coast tour haha The west is huge, Cali’s huge, Utah, Arizona, Colorado they’re all HUGE. It’s a daunting endeavor for sure Even if we took SCV out, that's still three out of four. I would love for BD to start out east and go unbeaten just to watch the haters reactions. That would be epic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California tour would suck without them and SCV in the same season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently it’s not quite viable for anyone to mix it up just yet it seems like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats don't lie. Maybe there is something to this. Had not thought about that. That is an interesting stat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not sure if they started their season on the East Coast. Maybe someone can look that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a show or two in CA, they showed up in Bensalem, PA on July 1st. https://www.fromthepressbox.com/1994season Edited July 14, 2023 by TOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Why must EVERY thread turn into a BD tread? They weren't even at this show. A little oxygen for the rest of us, please 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path to the title goes through Concord. I just say - why delay meeting with them? Why delay knowing where you stand? As an observation, from 1974-on a Corps had to beat BD to win DCI. It was easier in some years than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
