Double Standards in the SWAC!

Do any of you think there are double standards in the SWAC at times?

Example: Band A messes up on something nothing is said verses Band B messing up and they are put under a microscope.

Is the SWAC full of bias individuals that are either brainwashed, followers or plain ignorant and hating?

Please leave examples when you felt people were showcasing double standards, jumping on the bandwagon to get cool points, flat out hating or being bias.

  • A big example of this is the JSU vs TxSU Battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Both Bands are Mind Blowing, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter how many FLAWS that JSU have, they block them out and down TxSU for the little flaws that they have and bash them....... then you kno, the wanna be children on here follow the people who has the most lip!!!!

    Same thing with SU vs JSU.........People look past the flaw that SU has, But crack down on JSU!!!!!!!!

    I must say that, yes, the SWAC has some bias people no doubt, but there are some people that are followers and haters and some people are jus keeping it real but, mostly bias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • TOTALLY AGREE ANOTHER SCHOLL THAT GETS PUT UNDER THE MICRO BUT HAS BEEN GETTING WAY MORE CREDIT SINCE ONLY ABOUT '06 THAN DESERVED IS UAPB FLATOUT.. ALWAYS IMO OPINION BEEN ONE OF THE MOST CONTROLLED BEST IN QUALITY AS FOR PERFORMANCE STAND AND DRILL IN THE SWAC BUT HAS BEEN BASHED FOR YEARS BUT CLEAY ONE OF THE BEST
  • That's how it is when most the bands have overlapping characteristics. These days, if you couldn't see who's playing what, you wouldn't be able to tell one band from the other. Similar sounding arrangements, along with similar interpretations of those arrangements, and similar executions of these arrangements make it difficult to differentiate. But that doesn't stop us from being overly critical of the other band.

    You take away the unis and certain trademark points, and half of the bands look almost exactly the same.

    With so much to compare, it's easy to bash one band when your band does the exact same thing. So yeah...it's safe to say that the SWAC is full of double standards and hypocracy. But that's the brand of band we've come to accept. There is a type of style that every SWAC band adopts. It's just too bad that the bias and hate tends to cover that fact up.

  • LOL RJ.....well, u know me hehe


    but the most outrageous thing i've seen on the board is this example....

    On any given saturday, your band is outstanding....but when its our time to sit across from yall....all of a sudden, such & such is wrong.......That can be applied to all knuckleheads on this site.....when you start going into percentages and stupid theories on why that happened....it's shameful
  • Sir...your opinion is null and void in this conversation...as well as in other topic on the college forum. Go on back to General Discussion and High School

    Back to the topic...me and a fellow SWAC member were talkin bout this a couple of weeks ago. Like for instance...performing at PWC games. Band A is called a coon, while nothing is said about Band B.

  • Come on people! There's a reason why rules are set up that prohibit high school students from posting on the college boards. Act like you got some sense and follow the rules! If you can't follow simple rules while life is simple for you, how will you expect to get the responses that you are looking for when you will REALLY need them? Also, how will you function in society if you can't even follow a few simple rules set out just for YOU?

    If you are a highschool student, refrain from posting in the college board at least until you graduate and earn your HS diploma. GROW UP!
  • I've noticed something too, have y'all noticed that the bands bashed the most usually have the most flaws in the battle. I wish y'all grown men would stop cryin bout bias and what not and jus minimize yo flaws.
  • This is not about my band because i know when we are on it and i know when we aren't and i'm not ashamed to say it. This topic isn't really focusing on bashing, it's focusing on fake individuals with their bias and bandwagon riding ideas.All bands have mess ups, it's just some have more mess ups than the rest but it's very funny when it's evident that certain bands mess up and it seems like people overlook it as if they didn't have ears, the sweeping under the rug tactic LOL. I know my own band has flaws so it's not about crying because i know the situation. It's not about bashing, i'm talking about the bias fakers in the SWAC. Now back to the topic. Smh

    Example #1: UAPB has had the best sound in the SWAC for some years but when certain schools play them, the only reason why they say they were better than UAPB is because they were louder, like that determines who wins the 5th. People should just stop faking and give credit when credit is due. I understand personal preference but being real is being real.

    Example #2: Southern is the best drilling band in the SWAC to me personally but others bands that rarely display 8 to 5 marching criticizes them for doing the same drillls. Just be real and stop faking.
  • And on the topic.......its like people make it seem like some people should be smacked if somethin came out there mouth like aamu was gettin on southern....makin it seem like no one can get up with southern on there good day. Look at past years when the swac had people takin L's left and right now a days....its seem like the swac have the same bias azz people talkin....which makes the swac sometime boring.....Another example 08 jackson pb....we had a good azz battle wit dem catz....(pb) but niccas tried to down us....b4 they even saw the clips niccas was like ARE U SERIOUS pb???? like it was impossible to push sound or anythin i love da swac doe....even wit da bias people....no credentials are hardly ever given
