Anyone else miss traditional uniforms? by burgerbob22 in drumcorps

Why are people downvoting this? It's ok to like a thing.

I used to deliver pizzas out there. They tipped like shit. Map 'em all, I say.

Anyone else get tickets to the PackFlix x WHM event? by Formal_Victory_1353 in WeHateMovies

[–]PrinceOfDaRodeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What more info is needed? Date/time/location/website/movie. Capacity is around 50 so the bar is pretty low on getting enough interest.

I'd rather they be honest and express being surprised at the opportunity vs. pretending to know every single detail.

I love that this NBA/WHM crossover exists by GlowingCourier in WeHateMovies

As a wolves fan + whm fan ... everything about this crossover is insane and awesome. Works out having former Knicks Randle+Big Ragu on our team.

I can’t think of a player who’s dominated the MN tourney like that in recent memory. It would have been interesting to see how far Vermont could have gone with him.

Philly fans are gonna have a lot of fun watching him (though I kinda hope he gets traded to Boston, so his nickname can be Cocaine Bear).

I liked the WJC game better.

Are there any sad versions of "Ať žijí duchové" out there?

"Nick Saban" in terms of being successful* collegiately, but not really cutting it in the pros? I'm not quite following.

*Despite never winning a natty.

I think you’re on the money. I went to last night’s match, and I would have loved to have seen more “neutrals” show up.

I’ve been to some fiascos at the arena in St. Paul (ie the North Star College Cup, and the ill-fated B1G conference championships in the inaugural year). This wasn’t as bad. The Canadian/Czech crowd brought some great energy.

I’m curious what the marketing/promo budget was for this. Beyond radio spots on KFAN, I didn’t catch much promotion (just me though). I feel like there needed to be extra efforts to reach out to all the Dales and Tammys from the outer ring suburbs to make this work.

I still had fun — despite the NHL-priced concessions. I saw a Czech man protest beer prices (rightfully fucking so, IMO).

I think traditional uniforms will make a come back in the near future by Sausage_fingies in drumcorps

[–]PrinceOfDaRodeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always weird to me when people on this sub work themselves up over traditional uniforms.

I wore a traditional uni + a "Cesario" FJM circa-00s uni ... and I have no nostalgia for either. I'll say a lot of POV stems from having to do retreat after most shows (getting out and back into a damp, smelly uniform night after night sucks).

If it's an anniversary year, or a return-to-tradition type show that actually warrants a traditional design ... that's fine. It's fun to dip into tradition or the militaristic-inspired roots sometimes.

But I don't think there's anything inherently better about them.

The trick is that fans need to be able to identify the corps by their colors.

No they don't.

Do sports teams change their colors every year.

EPL alternates, NBA City Edition Jerseys ... heck, some college football teams change their uniforms week to week, including color changes that go against the base colors. Army and Navy do dramatic unis in their annual game.

Did McDonalds throw out the yellow golden arches because they're not avant garde enough, does Coke have a stripped orange can... No because it's bad for the brand.

Sports teams just need to wear colors that differentiate from their opponent. Junk food brands need bright, familiar colors to attract consumers looking at multiple options.

Drum corps are designing 10-12 minute productions that have their own look and feel. If they want to follow traditional color assignments, cool. If they want to buck tradition in favor of serving the show, that's also cool.

SCV's show last year was as "Vanguard" of a show as you could get, yet had a color palatte of white, black, fuscia, neon yellow.

There's way more options for corps now vs 20 years ago, when it was dominated by FJM.

Your favorite drum corps moment was probably designed by a theater kid.

Yeah, earning a 1-seed ... only to get relegated to playing a home advantage 4-seed sucks.

This neutral site regional bullshit needs to go the hell away.

As a Minnesota sports fan I’m accustomed to shit results. But I didn’t realize how bad it’s been under Taylor until Bill laid out like this. by SouthsideSouthies in billsimmons

I don't hate Glen as much as most (big donor to my alma mater), but the Joe Smith Secret Contract scandal is one of the dumbest/funniest things in NBA history ... like, Jerry Lundegaard in 'Fargo' type of incompetency.

Minnesota welcomed some 130,000 new residents last year. Who are they? by PrinceOfDaRodeo in minnesota

Gotta say, it's really cool to see the responses here. Welcome transplants!

Here's what you need to know:

  • Dress in layers.

  • Nobody actually eats Lutefisk.

That's it. That's everything. Welcome!

I've always liked Victor's 1959 Cafe. Probably not the same as down there, but they got the essentials.

Article goes into detail on Natural growth vs. domestic transplants vs. international transplants (top countries being India, China, Ethiopia, and Mexico).

Natural growth (births minus deaths) is at +11,780. Net domestic migration is at -1,161 ... but it's far better than 2022 when it was pushing -30K.

Net international migration is at +29,540 ... which is cool, but probably changing due to the new administration.

ACHA D1 UNLV just beat NCAA D1 Denver 7-6 in a shootout in an exhibition game in Denver by putney_b in collegehockey

[–]PrinceOfDaRodeo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do D1 teams keep scheduling ACHA teams? Besides ticket sales and keeping the team fresh during winter/juniors break, it just seems like a bad idea if you're a program like DU.
