BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK IN BIRMINGHAM
Let those Grambling Tigers know that your bite is just as big as theirs or bigger.
We are looking forward to the game with J-State but first thing is first let’s go out and take care of the people from Baton Rouge and finally shut them up they are really getting on my nerves!
Good Luck GSU!
I am rooting for you guys in the Bayou Classic. Handle your buisness w/Southern and make sure all of your players stay healthy for the SWAC Championship game. I dont wont to hear no excuses when JSU is triumphant over you all on the 15th of December.
Johnny Thomas was a good coach but the SWAC team Alcorn needed new blood. UAPB back a few years made Hardman resign but they forgot that Lee Hardman took over a program that was on the death penalty from NCAA. UAPB hired Mo Forte who was okay but Hardman was better. Not to say Thomas was good for Alcorn but there is always somebody better. The SWAC is changing with the times and MVSU might be next.
well gramblin has been brought down from their dream season, im happy soo many people were heart broken over us it was like we had won the lottery… i hope yall have a tie in the championship…
