The Clown Prince of Crime
It is obvious the SWAC East Division Title is oftentimes won in Mississippi between Alcorn/JSU) or Alabama between (A&M/ASU):
SWAC East Division Titles since 1999:
Alcorn (2)
Jackson State (5)
Alabama A&M (6)
Alabama State (4)
Valley (0)
The Alcorn vs. JSU Football Game has become stagnant and boring. Everytime I go it's the same weak trash talk of , "Yeah, you beat us, but we are going to the SCG, etc." I do not see a reason why Alcorn vs. JSU cannot be played earlier in the season. If Alcorn Alums or JSU Alums know before the game they are going to the SCG and possibly Celebration Bowl, why waste money Thanksgiving Day weekend when you can save for Houston and possibly ATL?
The Magic City Classic itself to my knowledge is annually played 4-5 before Thanksgiving. If Alcorn vs. JSU were to be played Labor Day Weekend, it would energize the game and actually make it mean something. There is no reason unless a Hurricane hits it would not see success. Later on in the Season, Alcorn Alums and JSU Alums won't have to be so cash-strapped to support their teams.
It's just common sense to me.
