JSU and Southern Miss.......I'm There.....
In 1987, Jackson State played Southern Miss in Hattiesburg. And M.M. Roberts Stadium hadn't been sold-out since. I was there. There were people everywhere. And the Metro Conference Officials teamed up with Southern Miss and beat JState 17-7. But JState actually won the game. Statistically we won. And if it weren't for a few flukey-duke calls, we would've won. Have you ever hear of Illegal Procedure being called (USM had the ball), and the ball being moved 10-yards UP!!!!! They penalized the defense for Illegal Procedure. The robbed JState. And we've been wanting a rematch ever since. So I don't care who else we play (and where). As long as we can beat them, I'll be satidfied. And we have the team to do it. USM loses at least four on defense and the starting QB, RB and HB. And Robert Kent will be under center. I smell an upset. I just hope we can get a defense.
But anyway, about Northwestern State. We used to play 'em awhile ago. And while they might not bring but 1 busload of fans, I wouldn't expect half of Atlanta to come to Jackson if they played Morris Brown. And besides, MoBrown is still Division II. We don't need to play anybody in Division II, I don't care who they are. Well maybe Delta State.
But I do believe the final schedule will have only 11 games. Culberson's not stupid enough to schedule 12. We got tohave a 'bye' week somewhere.

TN State for Homecoming, man I pray that is true. According to TSU Schedule we will be playing WKU on Oct. 12. What happen - is A&M scud to play in the John Merritt Classic.
Seriously, everyone know HBCU's schedule will change 3-5 times before the season start. The only games I can bank on outside of the OVC is the games between JSU and FAMU.

As a fan, I'd much rather play Northwestern State than MoB. What's the point in dragging MoB up and down a field. And regardless of their band, won't be no more butts in the stands for MoB than Northwestern State.
When we get to where our fans are coming to see our team, and not somebody else's band . . . (sigh)

Well, regardless of the MoBrown/Northwestern St. argument, scheduling always fills the needs and desires of the FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!!! And I don't see the Athletic Staff deciding to play one school (because they have a bigger band) as opposed to playing a quality team. The games are about football, not the bands. And we all know that football is what ultimately brings folks to games. If the bands scheduled 'games', you't only have the die-hard bandheadz show up.
And if Morris Brown is a 1-AA Independent, then I stand corrected.
I still think they'll play NW St. before they play MoBrown......

DON'T GET AMBUSHED BY THE TIME...
I was stationed in Hawaii, they play all their games early in the day. Tell Doug to get there early in the week, if not the change of time will effect your players. 6 hours time difference. Look how they ambushed BYU.
Btw, they take tailgating to a difference level. Roast pig and all. The whole parking lot looked like it on fire. Pre-game and post game tailgating. My first pro bowl I was drunk before the game started.:idea:

THE Logical ONE
MACH,
I did not want to stir up any controversy but I heard that too. That's right JSU vs Gram in the ATL. I honestly can't believe that Gram would give up home field and their best attended home game to play JSU in ATL but if so, I ain't mad. I would like to play A&T for revenge but they have no name recognition. Gram would be great for attendance.
JST,
Playing BCC would be cool for competiveness but I think that attendance wise, (since FAMU and TSU won't be considered), we would do better with:
1. SC State--They have a history in the ATL Classic and they are only 3 hours away.
2. NCA&T-- I think that they will want to play JSU again. We outclassed them in every way that weekend except on the scoreboard. Keeping the matchup consistent will help attendance. Halftime was an embarrassment to A&T.
3 Mo Brown-- They have a pretty good home base and they would love to play JSU, SU, or Gram. They would have alums from everywhere coming out to that game. Believe it or not, they would draw. The only question is whether the JSU fan would be interested in this match-up.
in the GA Dome.

Trust me.. I live in the ATL and Mo Brown can't even get people to come to their own Stadium( so playing them in the Dome would be worse than what A&T fans displayed in ATL. I would pick A&T before MB. MB avg less than 9500K per game if that many. JSU would dominate again in a city that is more than 5hrs from Jackson.

Who are you??? And where did you read anyone saying that Northwestern State's band would be a big draw in Jackson??? Nowhere, that's where. I don't even know if Northwestern State even has a band. Don't care. But they do have a much better football team than MoB. MACHIAVELLI, on the other hand, seems to think that MoB would be a big draw in Jackson because they got a great band. We don't know nothing about MoB's band.
And I will stand by my assertion that nobody in Jackson knows enough about MoB's band to come flocking to a JSU-MoB game because of MoB's band. We could play some NAIA PWC from Montana, and the game would draw the same as a game with MoB.

I'm not concerned about what this guy thinks he knows. I don't know what school he reps, but whatever fans arrive late ain't got a thing to do with the bands. And some folk do leave after halftime, but it's so few that the effects on the crowd are minimal, at JSU. Unless the game is a blowout, folk will stay at least until the fourth quarter.
But what he said still don't change the fact that Jacksonians don't know Jack Shiznit about MoB's band. When you got the BOOM, you don't sweat other folk's band. MoB betta be the 1st game or homecoming, or it won't be no more than 15,000 at the game.
SU fans,
Y'all have played MoB recently. Prior to that game, how much did y'all know of MoB's band??? Did y'all base your decision to go to the game on how good MoB's band was supposed to be???
I have to disagree with you about this. Black college football is about the total package of the game, which includes the bands. Thats why there are so many fans coming to see all of the classics we have. Some are there for the football, some are there for the bands and some are there to catch all the pretty women or handsome men that are there. Black college football is the only place where it is truely an event and not just a game. If playing a particular school that will put more people in the seats because they will bring their band, it will happen just because more people means more money being spent. It's just like when we play those 1A schools knowing we're going to get our arse whomped, mo money, mo money, mo money. Football pays for so much of the athletic dept budget that it only makes sense to look at that angle.
