ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAW WHAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT!!!

Sorry Port Gibson, Fayette, and Natchez but...you just are not Football Powerhouses.

And Coach, if the "locals" have anything negative to say, just know that Southwest Mississippi (On the RIGHT SIDE OF I-55, we'll include Franklin County too), Hattiesburg Area, and Coast Areas have plenty of talent.

10 kids from the state of Mississippi is UNACCEPTABLE. I have previously talking with another Alcorn poster on TSPN about this.

The only local player who panned out was Charlie Spiller but he was from Wilkerson County. Nate Hughes was from Starkville.
 



It seems he have a great plan and know how to build. He trying to build a stable foundation from the ground up. I just hope Alcorn fans dont get impatient when the team is 0-5 or 2-6, and calling for his head. Alcorn just need to go along for the ride.
 
I think the Alcorn administration realized that their football program was unstable and time was not given to any of the previous coaches.

We will see this year if they realized it or not. Its really not that hard to go from bottom to top in the swac.

Ha! I just hope they hold on to him for a few years. Let the man build. I may talk shit on the smack board about JSU but real talk Comegy built his program because they (JSU Administration) allowed him to, meaning they gave him free reign to do what he has to do. The same with Grambling and PV.
 
I think he'll be fine as long as alumni get behind him & support financially and fill the stands up each home game.
If he feels The love then he'll get them where they desire to be; which is being a Swac championship competitor.

But one thing I agree on: if a recruit sees the current game day atmosphere at Alcorn, they're going to say I'm going to USM, delta state, JSU, PRCC, msu, HindCC
That's just how it is.
Braveheart you better get your season tickets. It starts with you.
 
If you want to stabalize your program pay your coaches and put some money into the program. When the word gets out that you take care of the coaches and the program you will not have problems finding good replacements when needed.

Regardless if the fans grow impatient or not, the President is not going to Cut him loose.
He made an investment & I think he'll Be there for a while regardless of the records.
Now after year three.... that might be a different story. You know its easy to flip from a losing record to winning record in the SWAC so he doesn't have forever lol

Yea but let's be honest with the way the SWAC is set up...SWAC schools can only have one MONEY game...
 
If you want stability, stop changing coaching every year. That would sure help. Four of the last five years Alcorn has had a different coach. You can't win that way.

After the bell era, i think JSU administrators had the Al davis mindset. "Just Win Baby" Comegy use all pipelines, transfers here, transfer there, juco here Juco there, Freshman here, Freshman there. Alcorn administrators needs to give him the same freedom. On a funny note, damn Alcorn still usng VCR tapes.LMAO PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Alcorn needs to drive up Hwy 18 and take notes. I have Comegy's number on speed dial if your coach need a few pointers.
You still our little brother and we're willing to help out wherever we can.:tup:

No thanks.. We'll gladly pass on the offer!
 
It was very hard hearing him talk about how bad the football facilities have gotten, Hearing him talk it was no question on why Alcorn has not gotten better over the years. I felt a shame me as an alum let it get so low and bad. I feel though we're on the up and up, and if he keeps getting support like he is, Alabama St wont be the only ones with new diggs..

What? JSU has been winning consistently, so why not take some pointers? I can add Grambling just to the West as well. Alcorn's support really mirrors theirs any how, but you guys do have potential for more support if you can start winning again.
I do rember the days (before Pete) when Alcorn was the third best football porgram in the SWAC.

Too Much Pride and not enough realization of how the PROGRAM really is....Thats All of our HBCU's problem is too much PRIDE going on..Also do u know how Alabama State got their new facility....The State of Mississippi isnt handing out money like that to HBCUs so u will be waiting a while!

Not quite true. Ripsaw Thomas was given 11 years and couldn't even win the East one time. LOL!!

The time Thomas was there, he was just there. Dr. Bristow didn't care for sports so he didn't provide and funding for improvement. Dr. Ross came in and knew the importance of athletics but allow pyscho AD to come in and destroy any strides he was taking. Ross provided the funds and coaches salaries for Jones.
