2014 Jackson State football schedule

Re: JSU 2014 Football Schedule

We played valley for homecoming a few years back and it didn't make a difference in attendance.
Valley fans don't come to Jackson. We don't get up in extra #s to see valley.
That game was full of fans who wanted to be at JSU's homecoming.

There will probably be an increase of maybe 2,500 to 3,000 fans (max) who decide to show up ONLY bc Comegy is returning to Jackson. Not because we are playing valley.
If Comegy was not their coach then attendance wouldn't change one bit.

A couple years ago we had 42k for homecoming (playing UAPB). Yes. UAPB.
We show up because it's homecoming.

Last year was going to be another year of having about 40+k for homecoming but... We still set that tailgate out. Lmao.
One big ass p'Lot-Party!!! It was beautiful!

In all honesty I cant ever remember JSU not having a large for homecoming. I grew up Virden Addition which across the railroad track and as a child and til now it has always been jam packed. Not to mention the Alumni J-Sette Party and other Parties. They come back for homecoming period.

Stop trying to justify that horrible OOC schedule yall have. I don't like us playing VUL but yall schedule is utter bull.

There is no need to justify our schedule ooc or in conference. Hell if they put Jackson Peewee team on our schedule we look forward to beat their a$$ and the next team on the schedule. One or two weak games donot determine a season. I don't understand why all y'all are B'ch about either schedule. You have to show up and play the game regardless!!!

Re: JSU 2014 Football Schedule

Because the last time a while ago when JSU put P. View up as the homecoming opponent, people complained and said homecoming was dead that year. There was no P. View fans here, no excitement, (outside of people coming to homecoming), no nothing.

I'm not smacking but when you mention P. View in Jackson, people go "HUH"? You mention Valley, people will be excited about adding to the win streak. It's tradition. :lol:

That was because HC that year was like Nov 7th and two week b4 the CCC. It was Comegy's first year and he guaranteed us a win in his first game (Paul Quinn) and for Homecoming (PV). That's how we got PV. We chose the weakest opponent left. :lol:

That depends on what you call large. HC at JSU should never be less than 35K in my opinion. We have undercounts but that number should be expected.

Re: JSU 2014 Football Schedule

I agree that PV makes more sense to be the homecoming game. Valley may not be like it used to be, but it's far better than PV on its on.

I think for HC, valley is the better opponent. They are the weaker opponent and should garner some interest. Also, for those once a year Homecoming fans, they like to see two bands, and get the BCF gameday atmosphere. We know PV is not traveling outside of Houston.

Re: JSU 2014 Football Schedule

I think it's the best financial situation. Valley SHOULD be a "go to" game but it's not. Maybe making it homecoming will maximize the attendance. I think Valley is a good choice. Hopefully we can get 40K in there. Ya'll were homecoming two years ago and we only drew 22K. Any team could have helped us draw that.

There were 30K in the parking lot tailgating.

Ok...well that 30K needs to come inside...otherwise, it makes you look like PV to us.
