As a Boom fan, I must say. We are about to witness the birth of a dynasty with TSU. I’m calling it now.

[@KBThaBandhead]

Yessir. I agree

If you have them with there SIZE , I'd love to see a Jackson vs. Southern vs Them. . 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Whoever said ASU put the Belt to TxSU *** and TxSU got smashed need to get real with ya self. The Ocean and Motion gave them the damn business.

I agree

[@anthonybosley-bey1909]

I knew it was gonna be a long day for Bama Steak when I saw Oceans IG clip practicing at Jonesboro High

[@tc4996]

It's weird how some songs seemed like there were timing issues at times on the floor recordings, but sound really good with no time issue on the recordings from the stands.🤔

[@mjgabriel9743]

Could be the echo effect of the arena.

[@jlg0881]

So they knew giving the Boom two rounds against Miles last year was some bull…they need to invite the Boom back…and put NCA&T on the other side so we can clear #thee air 😎

How do i keep missing the premiers????? Dang This was nice

[@anthonybosley-bey1909]

Bama State Trumpets need to do some chairs/ pushups and drink a whole Lotta 🥛 next time. Also if the Ocean had played any song from the SU 5th QT, this battle would not have even been close 🌊🌊🌊 for the Dub

[@dominiqueconner7935]

TSU “Meltdown” lost is crazy that was the most 🔥 up moments but hey to each their own 20:00

[@deemanDavid]

ASU was better that round but that doesn’t mean TxSU didnt sound good

[@maestrojmusic]

TxSU won, but this battle didn’t build up to the hype. It just had moments of what the entirety of the battle should’ve been.

[@WTFisLacy]

TxSU sounds great! This was the sample I needed to know they’re still headed in the right direction. This new Swac structure is going to be something real next year. Thanks for the content G.

MOTION SLAUGHTERED 😂

[@rjcollins9511]

Ocean should’ve play Revenge!

They should have!! That would’ve sealed the deal frfr

Especially with the motions circle floor routine

[@oceans91]

@@anthonybosley-bey1909 Motion wouldn’t have repeated the routine though.

[@jimmylovetruckin3015]

The sound quality wasn’t the best in this video. A1 and Killa videos would’ve been better. Still would’ve had the same outcome though. But with a sweep because that Motown TxSU played was it. Go check it out on another video.

[@KBThaBandhead]

I checked out the other video and I still think that Motown Philly needs some cookin' IMO

[@vtv3233]

My opinion(u don’t have to agree or disagree) : But once TXSU get numbers like SU & JSU, they will be number 1 in the SWAC.

[@MaxHinds-mg1rb]

Even if they do get the numbers they still not gonna top jsu 🤷‍♂️

[@campcoy51]

TxSU aint no joke.

[@flightsdj]

3:20 it was a mello lol

[@CapOnyx1177]

Where was ASU woodwinds?? Maybe that’s y they sounded that way? Ion know

the way mfs was talking i thought asu swept, both sides had their moments but im going with texas luvdaboom

Say KB no lie offense to showtime but Killa kev got everything plus the dance looks a nice vlog,

[@KBThaBandhead]

I didn't use Showtime vid, I used Smashtime's vid. But I agree there is definitely a sound difference. But I still gave the battle TXSU tho. ASU trumpets and Mello's were doing the most. I also missed an ASU Tuba deduction that i didn't hear on this video.

I’m trying to figure out what they playing.

[@cursed6455]

That wasn’t a trumpet that messed up that was a mello in on&on

There was one Mello that was out of tune the whole time. They still sounded good but that was pulling them down on a few songs. I bet it was that same Mello

It was supposed to be only 3 songs a piece but TSU snook in Gangsta Lov which made ASU respond. TSU with the win as expected.

[@MBobo-qs5cl]

Say my grace was nice

[@shonitahaggerty8928]

The battle ended like that cause TXSU had to get ready to do their court show. Thats why their last song was short.

[@user-uw8ex7lj4c]

ASU picked some nice songs, but yeah a few people in the trumpets and mellos are missing on high notes in those chords!
