I'm thoroughly please with both bands no need to state the obvious. this was pleasing to me as a musician, spectator, and band geek. very articulate notation, tone, balance, and acrobatics. TSu took me back to 90's frfr and SU with that 3rd song by iniko 🎵 . is a dub for true band heads and I salute both programs to the highest
All I'm saying is there's SU and then everyone else! People saying next year TSU is gonna be a problem, so will SU Every year! SU technique, showmanship and sound is unmatched!
There's nothing worse than not giving honor where its due. Thoroughly enjoyed both bands. Yes southern is going to be southern. Power, arrangements, swag it's there. But if you sit here and say TXSU got smashed or wasn't a worthy opponent you are delusional. This was a great battle. I would say a Lil better than boombox. Listen no doubt SU did they thing but I'm not about sit here and act like Simmons ain't got them boys right. And for those who say Simmons not the only one there. I know French and Pollard and others are there.

Yes. Both bands did well and you have to give credit. First I want to say that I really hate this converted baseball stadium for bands. It's as bad as playing in an indoor stadium SMH. It was also 94 degrees for the whole game and a lot of people left the visitor side stands for shaded areas including the Jukebox lol. Anyway.... Great Battle? No. Pretty Good Battle? Yes. Arrangements and song selection were pretty equal IMO. SU had more power/volume and that was very clear but having about 100 more band members will give you that advantage. The tune that made me feel good was that John Legend song(3rd song). IMO that was the best arrangement out of every tune that was played that game. Just beautful! TxSU is working on something nice and I wish them well. @Doctaj54
Mannnnnnnn u spoke the truth!!!!!!!!!! Im proud of my TxSU..... Yes SU will always have power and arrangements..... but TxSU came with Entertainment!!!!!!!
TXSU came with the book! “I wanna be down” was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so was the Tyrese “Sounds of love making!” Over all they TXSU held their own very strongly until the very end…. SOUTHERN was a straight BEAST of a monster 👺 until the very end! I loved skin I’m in (Classic SU) … This was a 5th I would have absolutely loved to have seen in person! Both Universities came to play! Hats off to both institutions! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Southern with this aggression🥵🥵 and giving us a book this early Im really favoring this year more and more each game and for you people talking about size this and size that..let me start by saying txsu seem to have had no problem beating up on PV so let that sink in …you people hate to give SU credit when it’s due but kiddos to TXSU they held their own against this monster and sounded damn good while doing it…Southern and TxSU are in good hands no doubt🎉
But who is PV tho. Their Skin I'm In was horrible. They lost to Txsu just by that arrangement. TxSu is a problem no doubt. Overall song selection was great. I say the same thing about size but I don't think people are meaning it to down them. You know doggone well if TXSU matched them student for student it would be problematic. Still the Txsu held there own. And to be that size and fight a bully makes them a worthy rival in my opinion. Great job to both schools. Thoroughly enjoyed both.
@@georgefoley2128 Stop it. Folks in this comment sections! talking about give txsu a yr or 2 they would be a problem. Oh hears is another one!! Txsu held their on or if txsu had the same numbers!! Lmao. bottom line!! Txsu took an L.
Was at the game both bands gave me the chills, Simmons and Taylor did there thing. I got my money worth it then some can't complain about either band. A big hand clap too both bands 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏, if you wasn't at the game to hear it in person you missed a transfusion!!!!!
@@houseofbuck007 they both did good we sat right next to SU but listening to Texas Southern Across From Us Sounded Good I Was Happy To Hear Texas Southern Trumpets! When it came down to selection Txsu but the way Southern Played Their Music Was very much executed! I couldn’t even pick a winner and I was there. It was worth watching I missed the zero though.
I’ve been a human jukebox fan all my life I we know what’s to be expected can literally hear them from my house on game days but txsu with Mr.Simmons got something special and I can’t deny that
Jesus Christ, Southern and Texas Southern went at it for over 17 rounds! That goes to show that even the giants can lose some energy within about 10 rounds, but anyway SU murdered TXSU in the early part of the battle, especially with the 2nd arrangement from Mr. Todd. That was astonishing 😊 and pure excellent🔥. That battle is like Goku vs Vegeta. Rivalry at its finest and respect to Mr. Simmons for handling that pressure but the band needs some more execution compared to Mr. Taylor. Overall, best 5th quarter of all time.
Mr. Simmons DEFINITELY has TSU on track! Give him one more year (TWO at the most) and they're going to be a PROBLEM!! Props to the Jukebox, too! They're just on another level!! 🔥🔥
@@bone749 SU will be SU.. Give props to where it goes to , And it goes to TxSU. Now you say give SU the same , unless Haymer or Simmons come back it will either stay the same or go down. Staying the Same does not mean it will be bad but it is nobody on SU staff that i see can hold a light to Brian and his staff.
@@asheshshah5017 first off take Brian aint God my guy, yeah he gotta pen but Taylor does & Kenneth does as well my guy.. not every arrangement Brian puts out is absolute fire bruh you sound like a Brain super fan 😂😮💨
Thinking because the Ocean and Motion are better than they were last year, that they’re better than the Jukebox and Dolls, is cap af. If y’all prefer one staff over another, just say that. If y’all are tired of SU remaining consistent, just say that. Yes, the Ocean and Motion are better than they were last year, but they have miles to go. The Jukebox and Dolls will always be the standard; no matter what antics and gimmicks y’all come up with.
SU is the standard of HBCU bands like St. Aug was for high schools. It takes years to build and maintain that. Txsu is on the right track. Both bands did their thing. No winner or looser. Bandheads understand.
I would have loved to hear the conversation between these two band directors the next day......this was huge for the culture of black excellence......#respect
All u TxSU people say thank u, cause no matter wat u think r say, it’s a juke that saved your program, and it confirms that SU been bussin y’all ass….💯
Bro literally thought txsu was su at 50:13 that was straight heat! Walked to get the laundry out the dryer, turned around soon as i heard this. I still havent made it back to the laundry room yet. Best 5th this year so far!
i’m just here to report the news..I don’t want no smoke with NOBODY!!!!!! 🤣 SU SETS THE STANDARD!!!!! STOP PLAYING WITH THEM!!!! TxSu did the damn thang too.
SU won this battle hands down!!! Txsu sound better then last yr!! but . BRANDY song! I want to be down didn't sound to good. but overall i still enjoyed both bands though.
Mannnn!!! Sade is one of my favorite artist!! That “cherish the day” song selection TSU played really did some to me!!! I also love that Fugees “ready or not” song selection SU played! I’m such an old soul. Lol straight heat from both bands. 🔥🔥🔥
Southern reminds me of FAMU. They are about performance, showmanship and musicianship. Texas Southern was very good and they are COMING! Personally, I LOVE ALL OF THE HBCU Schools! Great job to both schools. I thoroughly love AND enjoyed the battle! i been staying for the 5th QTR since my youngest son was in high school. I am a proud mother of an Alabama State Marching Hornet, Trombone Player graduate! I support all of the HBCU Schools!
Man both bands did their thing. TxSU going to really be a problem once they get more numbers as the years go by. The pen game is nasty over there and at SU.
@@ntwadumela1777 agreed. Once everyone gets their footing, they will be a premiere band. I hope he has lots of freshman, sophomores, and juniors in the band. They will just keep growing and growing. You can already tell them trust his leadership.
@@d.francois995 you tripping, Taylor is the best arranger at SU. Their pen game has been on point this year so far. Of course it's not the same with Brian gone, but it's still good.
JSU gonna have their hands full with both SU and TXSU. Better make room TXSU just became part of the elites of the SWAC BAND REALM. forget Alcorn,PV and the rest, TXSU just made their mark here in this battle. They didn't get the W but dammit they sound good.
I wish they played later in the year where both bands song book would be longer cause they were going blow for blow, I was looking forward to this, next up Boombox Classic go be another heavyweight fight, the Power of SU Moonlight is just crrrrrrrazy they really push power this year S/O both bands best 5th of the year so far 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What does the songbook have to w/anything? i'm trying to understand. Ain't no other band gonna learn 110 songs a football season but SU. W/o question, today SU probably knows twice as many songs as TSU.
Overall I enjoyed the 5th Quarter. About halfway I was getting bored … of course the vibe is different live. - SU was more solid in endurance (of course they have more numbers) and execution. I wish they would have played more songs with a faster tempo. Ready or Not / Skin I’m In / Black N Blues (SU tradition staples) should not have been played in the 5th. It seemed like the band members didn’t even want to play. I could be reaching - TXSU had better song selections, switched up tempo and vibe more. It’s also pretty cool Simmons have a staff of multiple 🖊 arrangers. #StrengthinNumbers on the pen. With that being said, some endings were a little meh … we have to finish strong (now I wasn’t there live so I could be wrong). overall cohesiveness of sound was starting to waver on certain songs especially halfway through, but they were pushing through. As the season progress their endurance will improve. Now I’m neither a Juke or Ocean, but i appreciate the culture as an HBCU band alum. Great job both bands. Both are strong in arrangements and have pretty strong sections. TXSU tubas need to listen more. SU mellos need to come out more. Other than that looking forward to more footage in the future.
Props to both bands for putting on an entertaining 5th. Both could have sounded cleaner and had their flaws, but nonetheless they both proved something that night. I give the 0 to SU, Halftime to TXSU, and the 5th a clear tie.
I believe trumpet enunciation, intonation and power make the difference in determining the clear winner in battles like these...the other instruments can give power and volume easier, but a superior band has a uniformity in the upper brass. Use this criteria and your decision should be clearer on who has the advantage.
Here is my take. Having an hour long 5th was unnecessary and kinda backfired for both bands. I do think TXSU has overall better arrangements, however they were not executed well. I can't give you the w based on your band directors writing ability when he is not playing the horns. You have to be able to execute the music if you want to play advanced pieces. Southern really needs to go back to mixing in some funky classics to break up all the rap and aggression. I'm also missing the technical pieces I love SU for. Overall I give this a tie because I expect more from SU and Txsu doesn't execute well. They need another year.
My point exactly. I don’t know why SU has been playing so many rap tunes these past two seasons. Give us the arrangements we all are accustomed to. You can play 2-3 rap tunes, but for the most part give us old school and the complicated pieces no other band can duplicate. SU is lucky it was TxSU and not a bigger and more polished band.
GREAT GREAT BATTLE I WAS THERE SU GOT THIS THAT SILK SONIC 🔥🔥 TSU SOUNDING GOOD BRIAN GOT THEM GOING N THE RIGHT DIRECTION SHOUT OUT ALL JUKES WINNING ALL AROUND💯
Su vs txsu = an all Juke battle which is better yhab any other battle that you can find!!!!! This battle will become bigger than the boom box classic!!!! #JUKE4LIFE Fall 85
I have to go back and look at more old clips of TxSU on the field and in the stands. People keep saying Simmons is giving them their own style or perfecting the Ocean Style and not copying Southern over them. Sometimes I see it, but other times I think he is trying to Talledega the Ocean
@@cj9160 u picked a winner in your eyes so don't get on here telling others not to. That's my point. U could have left it at both did good . Black and blues in the 5th...idk about that🤷🏿♂️
This was dope to watch and hear both bands did there thing but Txsu would definitely be a problem the only thing is that they need more band members lol imagine if they were they same size as southern and thats where we would hear the full potential not saying they don't have it now but more brass omg would be overkill but SU always bring that pain
Let’s be real here y’all saying txsu won bc they ain’t get bullied but sitting here saying the was cleaner and gave more is big cap!! And you wasn’t at the same game we was at bc the def was cracking and had lot of ppl sticking out almost every arrangement
It was extremely close for the majority of this battle. TxSU will be a problem next year. SU saved themselves once they played “Ready or Not”, and they started to pull away, but barely. TxSU became tired after that round.
Now this is an honest statement. I too saw that TXSU was running out of gas. They did well. They just got weary towards the end. Southern is just southern. Great battle from both.
@@j.tradeforexinc.2819 Yeah, I thought SU was going to bully TxSU, but they took them lightly. Mr. Taylor should’ve known Mr. Simmons was going to show off. Treat them the same way you treat JSU and Grambling.
I'm reading some of you alls comments and I'm going to say this. A lot of yall are arranger fans, not band fans. If you couldn't;t sit here and enjoy this 5th for what it was then you really just here to talk cap and just say whatever. I personally don't think this game should have been this early in the season. It would have been a more polished 5th for both bands. I think this was a pretty even battle at times southern peaked and so did tsu. the winner of this battle is the band culture.
Both bands was awesome but the jukebox was better song selections txsu was excellent in that category but they will be a beast in coming years got damn.
I am proud of both bands.Brian Simmons and company are as good as we all thought he was.You see why so many people wanted/want him at Southern. He has brought the Ocean back in less than two years. Many of us praised Nathan Haymer and Simmons, but didn't mention Kedric Taylor's name enough. He and his crew have proven that they're worthy of carrying on and making their own history with the Human Jukebox. Many of us haven't/didn't give Mr.Taylor enough credit for the situation he took over and what he's doing on the Bluff.Good job to both and it speaks quite well of Southern.
Man I’m telling y’all now leave su alone they On 😈😈time like Forreal idk why y’all coming for that smoke and can’t handle it don’t make no since at all
Eye Of The Tiger don’t EVER need to leave the band room again! And…..whenever Black And Blue is played in a 5th, yo book lacking!! Great job cto both, but….as hard as it is for me to say this, I’m rocking with TXSU on this one 🤷🏾♂️
How can you shelf a classic like Skin? Old school never fails, and you OBVIOUSLY don't have an appreciation for the generations of music before this CRAP being released nowadays...Cameo made CLUB BANGERS that have been sampled by producers that make music NOW! Go listen to SU playing Living My Best Life with I'm Curious blended in to understand how the past shaped the present.
It says a lot when su has to result to black an blues. That damn simmons got a staff and repertoire he building over there. I just put in headphones and melted in this one. Amazing musicians on both sides
Really noone needs to say anything...it was a great show on both parts...what yall don't realize is that in the end SU WINS!!!! THEY ARE ALL SU ALUMNI!!! IF THERE WAS ROOM FOR THEM AT SU THEY WOULD BE THERE AND THEN WHO COULD SAY ANYTHING!?!? THERES SU ALUMNI ON BOTH SIDES!!! This is a bright spot for the HUMAN JUKEBOX!!! THIS is why they don't hire their own alumni!!! They know they're garbage at best!!! They went and pulled some horses from OUR stable!!! ACT LIKE U KNOW!!
Ima be honest some folks critisize certain songs being played in whatever quarter (zero, stands, fifth) ion think it matters that hard tbh its the musicianship & execution whether issa crank song or ballad but hey thats just me 🤷🏿♂️
@31:32 @31:18 @52:43 what is that? (SU mistakes I remember from being their live) People are trying to say Txsu and SU were “both Sloppy”. I can point out SU’s sloppy mistakes. I encourage people to find the same for Txsu because I don’t remember hearing more mistakes from Txsu than SU.

@@beaulah_califa9867 it’s still early in the year once SU blew black & blues the 5th was over they blew all the songs they learned this year
@@cpalmer3218 never!
This was over when SU played ready or not.... TSU showed up.. but you can't out Southern Southern!
Overall I enjoyed the 5th Quarter. About halfway I was getting bored … of course the vibe is different live.
- SU was more solid in endurance (of course they have more numbers) and execution. I wish they would have played more songs with a faster tempo. Ready or Not / Skin I’m In / Black N Blues (SU tradition staples) should not have been played in the 5th. It seemed like the band members didn’t even want to play. I could be reaching
- TXSU had better song selections, switched up tempo and vibe more. It’s also pretty cool Simmons have a staff of multiple 🖊 arrangers. #StrengthinNumbers on the pen. With that being said, some endings were a little meh … we have to finish strong (now I wasn’t there live so I could be wrong). overall cohesiveness of sound was starting to waver on certain songs especially halfway through, but they were pushing through. As the season progress their endurance will improve.
Now I’m neither a Juke or Ocean, but i appreciate the culture as an HBCU band alum.
Great job both bands. Both are strong in arrangements and have pretty strong sections. TXSU tubas need to listen more. SU mellos need to come out more. Other than that looking forward to more footage in the future.
Tubas need to listen more? To who 😂😂😂😂
@@jacktwnboss601 there was one or two songs they were not in sync … I put a disclaimer in my message in regards to me not being there in person
@@jacktwnboss601 Right?! What the heck did he hear?! SU was sloppy most songs and Skin I’m In was the cleanest……and oldest…..
@@cutoffslim2003 your hate is showing
Good job Ocean 🌊 👏🏾 👍🏾
This was embarrassing 😂😭😭😭😂 SU stay bringing heat to whoever 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Props to both bands for putting on an entertaining 5th. Both could have sounded cleaner and had their flaws, but nonetheless they both proved something that night. I give the 0 to SU, Halftime to TXSU, and the 5th a clear tie.
I believe trumpet enunciation, intonation and power make the difference in determining the clear winner in battles like these...the other instruments can give power and volume easier, but a superior band has a uniformity in the upper brass. Use this criteria and your decision should be clearer on who has the advantage.
Both bands were banging!
I’m glad A Juke and a Doll helped TxSU out. They are getting a lot better. A couple of years they’ll be complete beasts at this rate.
Petty lol smh
Nah that's real. TSU fell from grace after Gip left. This was the rejuvenation TSU needed...it makes any matchup SU not seem so one sided
Here is my take. Having an hour long 5th was unnecessary and kinda backfired for both bands. I do think TXSU has overall better arrangements, however they were not executed well. I can't give you the w based on your band directors writing ability when he is not playing the horns. You have to be able to execute the music if you want to play advanced pieces. Southern really needs to go back to mixing in some funky classics to break up all the rap and aggression. I'm also missing the technical pieces I love SU for. Overall I give this a tie because I expect more from SU and Txsu doesn't execute well. They need another year.
My point exactly. I don’t know why SU has been playing so many rap tunes these past two seasons. Give us the arrangements we all are accustomed to. You can play 2-3 rap tunes, but for the most part give us old school and the complicated pieces no other band can duplicate. SU is lucky it was TxSU and not a bigger and more polished band.
A Tie?! That’s an SU L buddy. Learn how to process those better my guy…
I agree! That’s Just Being Fair.
We need to go back to the days of bald head's
@@cutoffslim2003 😂😂😂
GREAT GREAT BATTLE I WAS THERE SU GOT THIS THAT SILK SONIC 🔥🔥 TSU SOUNDING GOOD BRIAN GOT THEM GOING N THE RIGHT DIRECTION SHOUT OUT ALL JUKES WINNING ALL AROUND💯
Su vs txsu = an all Juke battle which is better yhab any other battle that you can find!!!!! This battle will become bigger than the boom box classic!!!! #JUKE4LIFE Fall 85
💯😎👍🏾
SU... it's just different
SU's Tubas sounding better and stronger this year!
Facts it’s shocking actually
They was in they bag on this one. I enjoyed this!!!!
I have to go back and look at more old clips of TxSU on the field and in the stands. People keep saying Simmons is giving them their own style or perfecting the Ocean Style and not copying Southern over them. Sometimes I see it, but other times I think he is trying to Talledega the Ocean
Enjoyed both Bands amazing jukes the dolls slayed 👏
Great job both bands but Su 💯 💙💛. Y’all let’s not talk down these students they did good
But u on other band battles picking sides. Stop it hypocrite..lol..jsu vs grambling to be exact...smh
@@dandewaynejackson yea but I said both did good but I liked gsu I didn’t say nothing negative. What’s your point?
@@cj9160 u picked a winner in your eyes so don't get on here telling others not to. That's my point. U could have left it at both did good . Black and blues in the 5th...idk about that🤷🏿♂️
@@cj9160 and u made excuses for the other band . Stop yo hate. Hypocrite.
@@dandewaynejackson you can have your favorite sound like u mad because I said I liked gsu if so idc
This was dope to watch and hear both bands did there thing but Txsu would definitely be a problem the only thing is that they need more band members lol imagine if they were they same size as southern and thats where we would hear the full potential not saying they don't have it now but more brass omg would be overkill but SU always bring that pain
😮Jeeeez… SU saxes are loud and in tune at the end of their third selection.😅
Let’s be real here y’all saying txsu won bc they ain’t get bullied but sitting here saying the was cleaner and gave more is big cap!! And you wasn’t at the same game we was at bc the def was cracking and had lot of ppl sticking out almost every arrangement
It was extremely close for the majority of this battle. TxSU will be a problem next year. SU saved themselves once they played “Ready or Not”, and they started to pull away, but barely. TxSU became tired after that round.
Now this is an honest statement. I too saw that TXSU was running out of gas. They did well. They just got weary towards the end. Southern is just southern. Great battle from both.
@@j.tradeforexinc.2819 Yeah, I thought SU was going to bully TxSU, but they took them lightly. Mr. Taylor should’ve known Mr. Simmons was going to show off. Treat them the same way you treat JSU and Grambling.
I'm reading some of you alls comments and I'm going to say this. A lot of yall are arranger fans, not band fans. If you couldn't;t sit here and enjoy this 5th for what it was then you really just here to talk cap and just say whatever. I personally don't think this game should have been this early in the season. It would have been a more polished 5th for both bands. I think this was a pretty even battle at times southern peaked and so did tsu. the winner of this battle is the band culture.
Zero Quarter- SU
Half Time - Texas S.
Fifth Quarter- Tie
Y’all ain’t listening to this battle and I can tell.
If SU WOULD HAVE HIT THAT NICK OF TIME RIGHT 😢😢😢😢 I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HEAVEN 😮😮😮😮😮 I JUST KNEW YALL WAS ABOUT TO SCREAM THAT PART
I thought so too! but still sounded good.
@@Kentennial And did😊
Txsu second song is Tyrese Signs Of Love Makin
Both bands was awesome but the jukebox was better song selections txsu was excellent in that category but they will be a beast in coming years got damn.
😆 LOL I know SU page and all but I know yall HEAR that Middle to End !
I was trying to listen, but I'm having audio issues. What was Southern's second song?
I am proud of both bands.Brian Simmons and company are as good as we all thought he was.You see why so many people wanted/want
him at Southern. He has brought the Ocean back in less than two years. Many of us praised Nathan Haymer and Simmons, but didn't mention Kedric Taylor's name enough. He and his crew have proven that they're worthy of carrying on and making their own history with the Human Jukebox. Many of us haven't/didn't give Mr.Taylor enough credit for the situation he took over and what he's doing on the Bluff.Good job to both and it speaks quite well of Southern.
Tomorrow goes crazy 🔥💨
That put on a smile was vicious
This was the best battle of the year so far but I got to say Txsu edge out with this, their song selection hit different
This was a great battle period both bands win 💪🏾
Serious question. Is it safe to say southern took that baddest band in the land role? Or gram sill got it? Southern always been it for me
GRAM? GRAM?(SOULJA BOY VOICE)🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ WHERE YOU BEEN? 1984?🤣🤣🤣🤣 YEAH, IT'S A FACT. SU HAS NO COMPETITION PERIOD.💯😎👍🏾
@@cdaway2024jsu is su biggest competition
Man I’m telling y’all now leave su alone they On 😈😈time like Forreal idk why y’all coming for that smoke and can’t handle it don’t make no since at all
You must be listen on android 😂
This was the longest 5th quarter I've ever seen
Which school has the better arranger now? Taylor or Simmons?
Taylor, I love Simmons too tho
Somebody post the time stamps. I'm tired of fast forwarding through Texas Southern.
Thanks in advance.
😂😂😂
Eye Of The Tiger don’t EVER need to leave the band room again!
And…..whenever Black And Blue is played in a 5th, yo book lacking!! Great job cto both, but….as hard as it is for me to say this, I’m rocking with TXSU on this one 🤷🏾♂️
How can you shelf a classic like Skin? Old school never fails, and you OBVIOUSLY don't have an appreciation for the generations of music before this CRAP being released nowadays...Cameo made CLUB BANGERS that have been sampled by producers that make music NOW! Go listen to SU playing Living My Best Life with I'm Curious blended in to understand how the past shaped the present.
It says a lot when su has to result to black an blues. That damn simmons got a staff and repertoire he building over there. I just put in headphones and melted in this one. Amazing musicians on both sides
I said the same damn thing.
Tsu is a tier 3 band. SU doesn't waste it's repertoire on tier 3 bands. This was the game of the year for Tsu, not SU
Black an blues is a classic and a great fifth song too
That's a crazy comment bc Black and blues is a classic SU song this dude up here acting like Southern ran out of Music 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Itstoolate-q7g WTF are you trying to say?! Are you SU delusional?!
Really noone needs to say anything...it was a great show on both parts...what yall don't realize is that in the end SU WINS!!!! THEY ARE ALL SU ALUMNI!!! IF THERE WAS ROOM FOR THEM AT SU THEY WOULD BE THERE AND THEN WHO COULD SAY ANYTHING!?!? THERES SU ALUMNI ON BOTH SIDES!!! This is a bright spot for the HUMAN JUKEBOX!!! THIS is why they don't hire their own alumni!!! They know they're garbage at best!!! They went and pulled some horses from OUR stable!!! ACT LIKE U KNOW!!
Sounds like Txsu skipping parts or waiting for the loud part in certain songs.
That eye of the tiger is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ima have to lean towards TXSU on this one. They kept the stamina throughout
Are you serious you need better headphones txsu lost it all now that's real talk🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@vivecasufan4life595 take this L teedy like a woman
@@ptownslim lol you wish
@@vivecasufan4life595 argue with ya mama don’t argue with me. I said what I said
Aye that eye of the tiger
Was boring.
Texas Southern definitely has the better music selection but at the end of the day Southern music execution was better
Ima be honest some folks critisize certain songs being played in whatever quarter (zero, stands, fifth) ion think it matters that hard tbh its the musicianship & execution whether issa crank song or ballad but hey thats just me 🤷🏿♂️
TSU had funkier arrangements! SU is a well oiled machine! Ocean all the way!
@5:03 WHAT'S THE ARTIST & NAME OF THAT SONG?🤔🤔🤔
Boi Txsu is gonna be a problem just give them some time💪🏾💪🏾
I said that after they crucified PV.
@31:32 @31:18 @52:43 what is that? (SU mistakes I remember from being their live) People are trying to say Txsu and SU were “both Sloppy”. I can point out SU’s sloppy mistakes. I encourage people to find the same for Txsu because I don’t remember hearing more mistakes from Txsu than SU.
Wasn’t the best from both there’s no way TSU won this battle ppl tripping if they think that … good battle wish it was later in the season
@@reppintime3890 aht aht! Show me the time stamps where Txsu made those Type of mistakes.😴
This was an SU L. They don’t know how to process it. They didn’t get killed. You just took an L. Relax Jags…..
I’m telling you Kenneth is there weakness I should make a complaint to the university about how trash he is! Bring back Haymer and Simmons
