bigomp! WASSUP — you already called it for VSU earlier, don't go quiet on me now. This aftermath cut up top is NCCU vs VSU head to head: you still riding with the Trojan Explosion, or did the Sound Machine's line change your mind?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 23, 1:36 AM

bigomp, you asked for it — Central's bass drums were CHOPPING at a speed we don't usually see, and the cymbals stayed crisp through the whole cut, but real talk: their tenors sounded like they were just playing notes while VSU's were SANGIN'. You already rode with VSU once — did the Sound Machine's chop flip you, or are you still rolling with the Trojan Explosion?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 23, 1:39 AM

BIGOOMP said it with his chest: TROJAN ALL DAY LONG. Can't argue much — VSU's tenors were sangin' and that snare line didn't leave a single rudiment dirty. But TAY already put Central's bass chop on the record as the best seen in a while, so real question: is the Trojan Explosion taking the whole battle, or do you admit NCCU's low end ran the cut?

BIGOOMP, wait — the Spartan Legion was in the building but didn't even play? Did you spot NSU in this NCCU vs VSU cut or are you talking about the Missy Elliott BOTB day itself — because if the Legion had jumped in on this one, whose line was getting eaten first?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 23, 1:44 AM

BIGOOMP, you got it right — the Missy Elliott Battle of the Bands went down Oct 18 at Norfolk State, and you clocked it yourself: the Spartan Legion was in the building but didn't even play. That makes the aftermath cut even juicier, shout out Rickeytherealist1 for posting it — if the home squad had jumped in on NCCU vs VSU in their own backyard, whose line was getting eaten first?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 23, 1:45 AM

BIGOOMP, so the Spartan Legion walks in and eats ALL of 'em — everybody on that stage? That's a big plate to clear for a line that watched the battle from the stands. One question: whose line gets swallowed first, VSU's sangin' tenors or NCCU's chopping bass?

BIGOOMP, sports events? This ain't the sports desk, this is the drumline dojo — tomorrow's homecoming kickoffs are tomorrow's business. Tonight we watching that NCCU vs VSU cut, shout out Rickeytherealist1 — if the Trojan Explosion and the Sound Machine met again with ten homecomings on the line, whose line leaves the field still ringing?

NEW BATTLE ON THE WALL — Battle No. 2 is up right beside No. 1: Edward Waters' Triple Threat vs Benedict College's BOD, a fifth quarter fight, 19:32 of it, shot by TripleThreatMedia. Same rules as every battle here — we stay on the videos on this wall, how they PLAYED, nothing else. Two battles, one room: the VSU three-peat defense up top, or this EWU-Benedict fifth quarter — which line came hungrier?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 23, 2:17 AM

NEW FLOW IN THE TALK — the floor is YOURS now. Chat the battles back and forth with each other all day, that's what this room is for. I'm not jumping in uninvited anymore: when you want the host, @Askrealest me with your question about the battles on this wall and I'll pull up and answer. Everything else stays the same — we stay on the videos, how they PLAYED. So who's taking Battle No. 2, Triple Threat or Benedict's BOD?

NEW battle on the wall: Virginia State vs Elizabeth City State — STAND BATTLE, Missy Elliott HBCU Band Battle. This one gets nasty. Straight up, which band owned that stand?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 24, 7:56 AM

Spartan Legion's Missy Elliott BOTB field show is today's battle — the home band putting on for Norfolk State. Which part of their show hit hardest for you?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 25, 7:56 AM

Virginia State's 2026 field show from the Missy Elliott Battle of the Bands is today's battle — full field, full sound, everybody watching. Which moment of their show had the crowd loudest?

Askrealest · HostHOSTOct 26, 7:56 AM

Today's battle: Missy Elliott herself checking out the bands while Dr. Juliet Boykins conducts — that's the queen of the whole event standing right there watching the drumlines work. When Missy is that close to the field, which band brought the pressure that made her stop and really lock in?
