As much as Jay Walker gets on my damn nerves with his MEAC bias bullshht, he is 100% correct when he talks about the MEAC being more physical. They rough us up when the bright lights are on. I have sat at plenty MEAC-SWAC Challenge Games and Celebration Bowls to continue to see his words being the gospel. Even with our SWAC fans! We cry and complain about uncalled unnecessary roughness penalties while those MEAC folks are out there being ruthless.
The MEAC teams don’t take the field vs the SWAC “Champions/Contenders” to Celebrate Black College Football! They take the field for a War of HBCU Football Pride & Glory! We have to change this madness! Some of y’all have witnessed this! Those MEAC players get wild and crazy after big time sacks, and might throw an extra shove or push after every big play! We “might” see our guys do the same thing, but not as often or with the same fire and intensity. Why is that?
Fellas, it’s that extra pride, fire and passion that the MEAC guys play with that has us down 1 Win and 5 losses in the Celebration Bowl, and 4 Wins and 11 losses in the MEAC-SWAC Challenge Game. In the Challenge Game, the SWAC has yet to hold a win over a MEAC Team that posted a wining season! PVAMU’s win over NCCU, (who ended the year 5-6), was our best showing. Southern University carriers our Challenge Game Win Total, but their wins are vs MEAC opponents that went on to have horrible 3 win records in those seasons! They weren’t contenders. Hey, it’s not SU’s fault or problem because they showed up when the ESPN lights were on, but the SWAC has to find a way to go on streak vs winning MEAC opponents. Period.
In the SWAC’s lone Celebration Bowl win, the explosive offensive of my (1-1 CB) G-Men won 10-9! To this day, I think my lord and savior for (0-1 CB) NCCU getting a celebration penalty that moved the extra point back that got blocked! Otherwise, I truly believe we would have lost that game in overtime. I could definitely be wrong, but that’s how I felt watching that ugly show!
(0-3 CB) Alcorn fought (4-0 CB) NCAT twice, but got 64 put on them in their 3rd attempt. Yesterday, we watched a 11-1 (0-1 CB) Jackson State getting bullied by a 6-5 (1-0 CB) SCSU team that entered the game as a team that barley had enough bus fare to catch the Celebration Bowl Bus! A 6-5 program that represented a Collapsing MEAC Conference that lost all of their biggest names took down the best program we currently have to offer!
We have to man up vs the MEAC on the big stage. Enough is enough. Yesterday, the MEAC really slapped us as a conference on ABC. Going 11-1 as a SWAC Program doesn’t carry much weight to the FCS Top 25 World after this one. We can’t cry about the disrespect in the polls because we continue to prove that we can’t win big games outside of our conference. I sure hope things get better! Some of y’all in our SWAC Family try to downplay this stuff, but at the end of the day, the SWAC is has only won 5-15 record vs the MEAC on the ABC and ESPN Stage. We have to start winning now! The days of seeing the SWAC win the Heritage Bowl often is long gone. It’s a new era, and we need to catch up.
