You don't think that extra day off with the game being on Sunday would help?

Don't matter.
SU and Gram would stop playing football all-together before they changed the sacred day of the BC which was established in 1989. :lol:

Would be kinda akward at first, but I dont think it would be a bad idea.

Not a bad idea. Attendance might increase. The only concern I may have are the prices of hotels. Will they raise the prices that weekend?

As they do every event weekend.

I honestly think that weekend is one of the best non-event holiday weekends in New Orleans. Adding the BC would make it off the meters... but I just don't see the powers that be at both schools EVER agreeing to it.
 
Hmmm I dunno.... My gut says.. NO.. but my head says.. Something different may bring the fans back...

Frat it was established way before 89. Where do you get that from? I played in 4 BC's and all but one was on Thanksgiving weekend which was because of the Dome schedule from my understanding. It was the first thing we learned as crabs when we got to the Jukebox. You will not be going home for Thanksgiving. LOL.

Ain't no gimmick bringing fans back, just SU having a winning season.

How has SU, GSU or Bama St stopped the other 7 SWAC schools from going to the playoffs? :confused:

That question has been answered 1,000,000 times but as usual, people will act like they don't understand the big FCS picture. mentality and thinking still stuck in SWACworld. :lol:

One more time.

By showing the FCS National leaders that we can't even get the teams IN the conference all on the same page. Why in the heck would they go through the trouble of dealing with any of us when other conferences follow the guidlines of making their entire conferences playoff ready when the bids go out.

NOW................BACK TO TOPIC. :lol:

Hey JR Im not a Juke but could you imagine the pressure of a crab with your 1st game ever being the biggest game of your life! That pressure would be intense!
 
I understand your point bruh, but I still blame Anthony Jones and the AAMU administration for allowing him tp be relax and not handling business to get a offensive coordinator more than SU, GSU and Bama St.

No, Grambling needs to reserve Labor Day Weekend for the Port City Classic in Shreveport. That game has so much upside!

Actually that's may be 50% true. There has been talk at GSU especially with Cedric Glover the Mayor of Shreveport and a Grambling Alum as to the benefits of moving the Bayou Classic to Labor and what type of package Shreveport could offer. One of the keys is alternating the location between New Orleans and Shreveport to force the two cities to compete for pricing of hotels etc.....
 
Please let the Bayou Classic remain the regular season finale...it's a proven money maker at that part of the schedule. SU and GSU can have that payday and an additional OPENING week payday by playing someone else on those dates. Grambling should negotiate with a regional FCS/FBS to play in the PCC Classic and SU has the fanbase (population wise) to sell out a home date on Labor Day Weekend.

Bayou Classic in Shreveport would be the DEATH of the Classic as we know it..... Man PLEASE!!!!..
 
As a Jaguar fan and a Bayou Classic Lover I say no because of the fact that they already have a big SWAC game going on during that time.Thats TxSU and PVU.Plus the Bayou Classic is a Family Tradition so since your going to be with family on Thanksgiving.You can be with Family at the game.
