Here's my 2.5 cents....
Regardless of the stats, who's new on who's team, who remembers last year, last last years, this IS the most heated rivalry in HBCU football, FCS football, football in the South...... just football period.
Sometimes, the stats matter, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the weather makes a difference. Sometimes, it doesn't.
But, (IMO) what is true, this game has been College Gameday worthy every since they've had college gameday. The atmosphere for this game has always been intense, heated, and sometimes rude. But it wouldn't be a true SU/J-State matchup if it weren't.
Good luck to everyone.....including the fans.
