Tigerpride said:Mike, you don't even know who the players were, yet you say that they were freshmen and sophomores. Let me tell you a secret...we were playing freshman and sophomores too. But no team is all freshman and sopohomres. Pratt was a So after playing behind Asberry.
Alum, where is the stat sheet that shows that some slow AAMU RB broke for 55 yards.
It does't matter becasue obviously you all had a pretty good nucleus. You ended up 6-5 but you started out 5-1 until the bottom fell out and you lost 4 of your last five. This typically means you had no depth which further supports my theory that you all only beat us because you played us the first week. Shannon's system is not easy. Everytime we changed QB's in that system, they strugged from Pratt to Washington to Kent!!
Mike said:He even went so far as to say "don't let the win over jsu fool you" after the game with you guys. He knew then that we had a long road to tow with what he had to work with.
As for your team being young. What kinda excuse is that for a D1AA team playing a D2 school? Let you tell it, jsu should never lose to teams that are inferior to them. But, yet we have this score where you actually lost to little old AAMU. A D2 school that you claim you never heard of until you played us in 1994. Ain't that something? :smh:

I swear I would have loved to see Jackson State play the UNA's and Jacksonville States on the 90s
Mike said:UNA would've beat the living crap out of them! :lmao:
BTW TP,
It's Pettiford, not Pettaway. I understand that you can get your whippins mixed up after all this time, but you need to make sure you get the names right.
Anyway, you keep talking about a week later or whatever. But, as you said, yall got beat by FAMU and TnSU after that. So, it's safe to say that you guys still weren't ready and the SWAC was probably having a down year. That's usually the saying when you start off the season in such manner.
You will never just own up to the fact that you lost. Even if you did have a young team. By the standards that you always place on these boards. No D1AA teams should lose to a D2 team. These are the things that your crew always say, yet when pointed out that we were D2 and pushed our foot off in that butt yall want to change the parameters to fit what your situation is. Then, you backed out of the game because you were scared of repeating the same thing the very next year.
One more thing, we didn't lose that many players that year. Of the ones that we did lose, there weren't that many starters. Alot of injuries happened in practice, not on the field. So, we had depth. We just had a young team that had been on the bench, with a small amount of seniors and juniors that were still around and hadn't played as much. See Ray Bonner was unsuccessful as head coach in the years before Pettiford and Oliver. Which were the same seniors that you are talking about that would be on that team that whooped yall. But, you wouldn't understand where I'm coming from when I say these things, would you?
:smh:
