@@dannibass8701 The last two meets I think TNSU got them. Now I will say I think JSU gears their song selection for playing them. Also JSU seems to get better as a season progresses but they see tnsu early in the season. 2015 and 2016 I think TNSU was better by a small nudge. 2017 I think the gap was wider because TNSU was huge and had power and balance for days. Unfortunately they didn't meet last year but I think the boom would of won that one. This year is hard to call. I like TNSU new found aggression yet JSU sound and balance has cleaned up a lot

[@cinemuh]

@@vivecasufan4life595 I have huge respect for Tennessee St. They bring their own style to the table and it's good enough to compete with any band it comes up against. Same with Texas Southern, Famu, Norfolk St, NSU, Bethune, Prairie View, and some others. But as a Juke, I have zero respect for copycat bands that are too lazy to build a band with it's own identity. The easy way out is to copy and transform over time into the carbon copy of a band they so admire. We all know the bands I'm speaking of, and it's a damn shame to build your reputation trying to become the best by becoming them.
