So, what can we complain about tonight?

[meyers7]

I guess we could complain about the low number of offensive rebounds.

 

[cohenzone]

so.....technically, the "dot" for Script Ohio is a sOusaphone? I'm sending a letter to the Big 10.

As a guy who can truthfully sat my son and my money went to the University of Michigan, I can truly say that A Ohio State
University has a lot of trouble dotting Is and crossing ts.

 

[cohenzone]

I'm a retired band director. I know they are sousaphones. We had shoulder convertible tubas. One of our sons is a former Husky Band trombone player.

It takes insiders to know the difference.

 

[SCHuskiedad]

My son played the baritone horn for Cheshire Marching band so I know the difference between a Sousaphone and a tuba. But they don’t show the band on TV.

LBKA

My daughters went to Cheshire High!

 

[FormerCTrez]

Sorry. Sophomore Paige dances on the court as well as the sideline. She is like a caged wild husky. Providence will spend some extra time in prayer.

“Caged wild husky” has me laughing so hard.

 

[FormerCTrez]

HuskyNan, thank you for this topic. The responses are exactly what I needed to delightfully infuse my brain cells after a 30 hr shift at work.

 

[HuskyNan]

My daughters went to Cheshire High!

What years did they graduate? My sons were 2013 and 2015.

 

[Skeets]

Complaints? Hartford does a really chitty job clearly snow from the pedestrian areas at intersections.

 

[AmeriConn]

For some reason the game seemed shorter than usual.

 

[Tonyc]

How bout a little cheese with your wine

 

[Zanzman]

For some reason the game seemed shorter than usual.

True it was over at 14-0

 

[Bald Husky]

Sick of that Cadilac commercial. That music flashbacks me back to last year, being isolated and praying all day that our game would go on. Future games this year on Fox and ESPN, so thankfully I can rehab my brain.

 

[meyers7]

12 foul shots between BOTH teams. That'll speed things up.

Yes, I looked it up and it is a 4th or 5th-year band member with a sousaphone. I graduated from Ohio State and saw many a football game while I was there and I always thought it was a tuba. The things you learn on this board.

I learned there are concert versions of an instrument that are different from the marching band version. My son played baritone horn, a smaller tuba in a concert setting, but it looks like a big trumpet in the marching band version. The marching French horn looks like a big trumpet with a wider opening. Who knew?

 

[ClifSpliffy]

yeah, i got another crow to pluck, is the complaint window still open?

most of us thought, wrongly, that yesterday's game would be forever memorialized as The Return of Buckets. but lo, and silly us, twas not to be.
apparently, it is instead known as the game rekindling the Great Sousa or Tuba Controversy. i mean, seriously, a renegade gang of blowhards swiping the stage by awakening this age old turf war, and drawing in the attention and good will of folks who, once upon a time, played in their high school bands. an unexpected and nasty turn of events, kind of like that two stage epoxy stuff that rained/snowed/sleeted/iced down upon us casual mortals yesterday, and now is all ice station zebra around us.

wind instrumentalists. truer words never spoken. lol.
if the window is still open, please don't tell me, when i reach the front of the line, to go to Helen Waite. i'm tired of talking to her cuz nuthin ever gets fixed.

 

[Khal Drogo]

I was not happy with Geno‘s sport coat

Too many braids in Paige’s hairdo?
Dance team unis not sparkly enough?
Not enough tubas in the pep band?

Geno’s restaurant is still selling Russian Vodka. Pour it down the sink.

 

[Geew1992]

I’m sure they will find something

 

[Crossover]

Ducharme's outside shooting............her touch is just not there at the moment..........it's really important for her to get that going so they will have three legit three-point shooters plus CFW and Evina...........she certainly hasn't let it affect her layups off the drive though.......she rarely misses.

Someone is missing the humor gene.

Team Sousaphone here, high school marching and concert band.
And just to stir the pot a bit more - traditional brass over fiberglas...all those dents in a high school horn just add color to the sound.
Go Low Brass!

You can never have enough tubas in the pep band.

 

[Biff]

All this band talk sparked this memory....

 

[JordyG]

I burned the bacon for my Bacon, chicken, mushroom pizza. Don't worry. The pizza JuJu is still working. Except for Mr. Rowdy asking for Hawaiian pizza for the Villanova game. I hate Hawaiian pizza. I told him if we lose to Villanova, I will NEVER make it again. Problem solved.

I'm a NY-er. To me Hawaiian pizza is an oxymoron. Something like NY Poke which uses raw frankfurters.

 

[JellyBean]

My only complaint would be this was a quick game. The refs only called a total of 15 fouls. I guess they had plans too!

That’s like Chicago “pizza.” That’s an abomination in the Biblical sense.
