True and they were all going in different directions, that why all ended up going in different directions.
Alcorn coach honest about state of Program

- Start date

onward and upward son!
same thing this way, hopefully the folks here realize that if they support the football team and give them what they need it helps everybody especially the non-revenue generating sports.

Braveheart you have been yelling this for over a year and everytime your fellow Braves would try to shut you down.
I guess it was the "way" you said it...
opcorn:But Good Luck Alcorn!! This is positive for the SWAC and HBCU's everywhere.

Da Better U get, Da Better we get & That's IT
well i read this a few weeks ago & I'm glad he's outting the problems, but yet and still. Talk to me around year 3 of being there at Alcorn.
As kendrick said, you can't win if you keep changing coaches year after year...so well see if this guy stays a while.

GOAT FARM!
If Alcorn can keep the AD and the other crazy's in the Administration away from the team, changing coaches every year, a Head Coach might be able to turn things around by year #3. These players that signed 4 years ago has had 3 different head coaches and 3 different offensive and defensive schemes to learn. :smh:

Yea I cant see him cutting alot of players this season since he is so late in the game he may just work with what he has!

Exactly, he had a pretty good team! That ego is the reason he is not here today! Upward and onward! Let's go Braves!

I think Jay Hopson was a good hire for Alcorn. I really wish him well.

Those crazy's are either long gone or are no longer a factor. Spears fiasco was something that needed to happen or should I say should have never happened.

Idiot! What is your issue with Port Gibson, Fayette and Natchez? Did they each have a woman that broke your heart? Of course you can't build a program from 2 schools that compete in 3A or 4A football. There just aren't enough players/people, but there is talent. 1 of Jackson's best receivers is from Natchez. When Harry Brown was coaching in Port Gibson he sent players all over including 1 to San Diego St. The problem is Alcorn hasn't recruited the talent available just like I've heard people complain that Jackson had stopped recruiting its local talent before Comegy. To field a championship caliber team we need to be able to recruit the entire state and out-of-state. Alabama was the best team in the country last year and their best offensive player was from FL & 1 of their best defensive players was from TN.

So what happens if Alcorn is actually good this year and gets 6 to 8 wins before you play Jackson State. I say, Alcorn admins will move the game to Jackson. :lol:

Dude shut up. We're not treating him any different than we did Jones nor Spears when they were hired. Spears only fell from grace with the fans when he started destroying the team. Now is it our fault that those previous coaches didn't think the facilities were in a bad shape? Closed mouths don't get fed and its time out for we can work with what we have. If they would be upfront from the beginning maybe things could and would have been better for them.
easy here,
DUDE....I am not contradicting the dude......White dude probably will win more games then SPEARS , COLLINS AND THOMAS PUT TOGETHER.....IT AMAZES ME THAT THAT PROBLEM EXISTED FOR YEARS AND NOBODY SAID NOTHING.......NOW THE WHITE DUDE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND YALL SINGING PRAISES.........SORT OF MAKES THOSE COACHES BEFORE HIM LOOK A LITTLE DUMB..........
P.S......NOW YOU SHAT THE **** UP!!!

Actually Jones and Collins both tried to improve the facilities but they ran into obstacles b/c we suffered from a lack of leadership during that time. The lack of leadership is at the root of why neither 1 of them are on campus now. Hopson has just been more vocal than those 2 were. We finally have a permanent president that's dedicated to improving the overall state of the program - not just winning games.

I agree with you on that point. If Alcorn still had Air Canada, I would pick them to have a good season this year. Brandon is a good QB and might start for USA next year.

You made no point..
That's because the difference now is we have a President that is backing the HC..we had poor leadership in the past... Has nothing to do the fact that the HC is white.

Dang, y'all still on this? :lol:
It's camp time. Shouldn't y'all be talking about new additions to the roster and discussing key players or something?

Well according to the Vicksburg Post, Coach Hopson has added 9 transfers or freshman since the summer. One is a long snapper from Junior College Darryl Harvey, one from American Samoa who plays tackle, a freshman kicker from Georgia named Tyler Smith and a transfer sophomore running back from Memphis University by the name of Joe Price. Price is from Madison Central HighSchool in Ms. He was rated a 3 star prospect by rivals.com and a 2 star by scout.com out of highschool. Price is 5'9 180 pounds and runs the forty in the 4.28 to 4.3 range.
