Crankfest 2017 has come and gone from New Orleans but not the conversation. Southern University, Jackson State, Talladega College and Alcorn State had a four-way battle royale in the Big Easy as you can see below courtesy of Human Jukebox Media.

People who were in attendance or watched the video had plenty to say in the YouTube comments section. Here’s a sample and to be honest, it seems more people were leaning towards the Sonic Boom.

“Let’s be real. This was a JSU vs SU battle. And I got JSU taking this clearly.”
K. Ramon
“Sat front and center between SU & JSU, fully expected SU to dominate…it did not happen. JSU was without question the better band…and that’s from a huge SU supporter. I’m sorry man, the Juke took the L on this one.”
Truth B. Told
“Can someone PLEASE EXPLAIN how JSU Won?????? All I heard was Mellophones and Tubas! Y’all need to stop smoking that K2 because SU clearly won this battle!

Let’s go to Twitter where people were obviously caping up and representing for their own schools.

So who do you think won? Let us know in the comments section or reach out to us on social media. The keyword is HBCU Gameday on all platforms. This will surely be a podcast discussion this week.
If the truth be told… You had four bands that were there… Talladega, Southern University, Alcorn and Jackson State. To me JSU was the only band that did not blast or Blair their music! True enough the other bands have the numbers but as far as control, balance, tone, intonation and pitch clearly the Winter was Jackson State University Sonic Boom of the South! Though they may be smaller this year with just 150, they clearly personify while they are the Sonic Boom for a reason! Even when dega an S you were dissing each other, Jay State remained classy and patient! And for the coup de gras they showed why they are hbcus pick for the number one band this season and wears the crown in the SWAC
Boom won. They was more consistent. SU had more power but they didn’t execute to well. I don’t know why Alcorn and Dega was there lol
All the band’s were great but i have to go with Jackson State ….. I plan to attend this year once everything is put together …. great job to all bands keep up the good work..
