As a "Band of Distinction" alumni from way back in '85, it's great to see both the football and band rivalries between ASU & WCU are as strong as ever. Good first half today Western! You caught us napping and looking ahead to the play-offs. Too bad they play four quarters, not two!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-39585152110390585862008-11-22T12:55:00.000-05:002008-11-22T12:55:00.000-05:00Hey its the Florida guy again.

Example: My daughter, trumpet player, playing since the 6th grade, section leader and soloist senior yr in HS, and a marching mountaineer! Wait you say there is more.....oops I forgot she marches with the World Champions of DCI, The Phantom Regiment! I am Spartacus! Seems to be a lot of CHAMPIONS in Boone. My prediction?

I love the Band of Distinction, but I have no idea what would make them better than another band. They've played at 3 straight national championship games though. That's impressive.<BR/><BR/>Complaining that WCU doesn't get enough sports coverage? Brad Hoover and then what's to talk about? You do get your publicity though.

To all you cantamounts, when it comes to academics and football, West Carolina is nowhere near the level of ASU. I hope our team keeps scoring until your coach learns how to pronounce Appalachian. The only reason App may not score a lot of points today is because Armanti Edwards is hurt.

But if they line up with the "NC Band of Distinction" from Boone I suspect the outcome will be about the same as the two football teams squaring off.

So we have been to every home and the Michigan/App game.I grew up in Michigan and was fortunate to watch a lot of good football growing up. But I have never seen as an exciting team as The Mountaineers! In the last 3 years that I have been attending games we may not have won every game but we WON the games we needed to! So when you ask what is that bright light coming from NC it is the glare from all the diamonds in all those National Championship rings in Boone.
