WEEAAAKK LINEUP
HAHAHA

 

[Pooja]

wooow. completely collegiate????

I'm guessing you guys are trying to make it collegiate only for the future?

 

[Jeeti]

VCU comin to the burgh?

yessssssssssss.

 

[Hans]

Interesting. Blowout 2008 lineup:

Yale
Cornell
Columbia
VCU
RU
NW
UNC
Drexel

-Yale, -UNC, +NYU, +UVA

It'll be interesting to see how closely the placings match, and how closely they should match.

 

[Hans]

Also interesting to note, teams with team members from Pittsburgh or other significant Pittsburgh connections (that I know of):

Cornell Bhangra
Columbia Bhangra
Northwestern Bhangra
Drexel Bhangra

NYU, I'm not sure about these days, but I know they've had several in recent years gone by.

My information isn't perfect, this is just based on what I know from past years. Maybe some of these teams don't have connections any more, and maybe some of the others do, but I think it's pretty accurate. These Pittsburgh kids tend to be pretty close in touch with their community, so it's probably safe to expect some strong crowd support for these teams.

 

[faysal]

VCU FTW!

 

[sapg21]

Also, another interesting fact.

Teams with extremely strong affiliations with judges:

Cornell (2 judges)
NYU
Northwestern

 

[Sarabjit]

VCU GOT THIS!!

 

[Pooja]

Also, another interesting fact.

Teams with extremely strong affiliations with judges:

Cornell (2 judges)
NYU
Northwestern

hmm...I wouldn't be so quick to assume that NYU (or any team for that matter) has "extremely strong affiliations" with the judges...perhaps you read that one of the judges, Ajay Kataria, went to NYU?




.....6 years ago.

I'd like to know more about our supposed "strong affiliations"...

 

[Meistro]

I love Sapan's and Hans' attempts to somehow make something known, or expose teams with their "interesting facts"........Sapan's "interesting fact" = these teams are going to place because they have "extremely strong affiliations" with the judges, SO BE AWARE PEOPLE. So what if they're close with the judges dude? Is there some sort of problem? Is it REALLY necessary to point that out?.......and Hans' "interesting fact" yields that, SOMEHOW, these teams got in because of their "pittsburgh connections" and he tries to cover it up by saying "probably safe to expect some strong crowd support for these teams." YES VERY INTERESTING.....NOT.......get a life. Stop trying to start sh*t before the competition. Its pathetic. Be confident in your set and BRING IT. Stop bringing down teams with your damn "interesting facts"

 

[Pooja]

It's all gravy.

I personally don't think anyone is "affiliated" and people just stir up things before the competition even STARTS!!

 

[Ashqe]

Yeah regardless of anyone's intentions all of that pre-competition rumor bullshit was what POL was for and not BTF. Just let the teams do their thing without any of that shit and we can talk about the results after.

 

[Jeeti]

Ok...my two cents..

Hans...your posts are generally very intelligent and useful...but that post regarding affiliations seemed so unnecessary? I am sure you know how small this bhangra world we have is...if you look close enough, you can find affiliations everywhere in any city at any competition. You probably should of thought about that for a second before you just decided to add your conjecture regarding affiliations that you don't even know still exist.

Sapan...bro...you can't start pointing to affiliations with judges for the same reason as mentioned above...the judges haven't even judged the competition yet...lets not get ahead of ourselves....

I agree with Ashqe....let teams do the damn thing....and talk about all this afterwards if there is even anything to talk about...

 

[faizan]

pol status up in here.

 

[HarmanSingh]

lol straight up. if you think the judges or org. are corrupt, be man enough to just say it flat out...and actually have some proof.

Moderator's Note: Don't start unnecessary rumors. Understand that all brown people know all brown people in at least 6 degrees. Discussion doesn't need to involve that sort of stuff.

 

[sorethighs]

Judges don't select the teams for the lineup
