This is the epitome of the type of insane thinking that goes on with meac fans.
Yeah yeah. Just keep stroking two MEAC programs that sucked those years.

Expecting a good CB game.
I won't be attending because I'm still being a sourpuss about the MEAC's autobid.
In my personal opinion this game would still make alotta money without our champions. Give people a reason to travel & see a good game/party & they'll come.
I do wish all the time that MEAC & SWAC Champions would compete for the playoffs. Champions belong with other champions...not just the black ones. a BCU/SWAC loser would be a good game. (The BCU/Gram game was wild this year. A rematch would be dope). But anyways hope you all enjoy ATL. I'll be watching at home.

What drama filled season...we played Southern in 2007 and FAMU was coming off of a 7-4 season...about two or three years removed from the FBS fiasco.
As a matter of fact, FAMU fans were expecting a return to glory in 2007 and fired Reuben Carter after that disappointing season...then we rebounded immediately after Joe Taylor became the coach the following season

Your champ had all season long to play other champs but who did they play? Also,I guarantee you that is the SoCon and CAA were approached with this deal they would take it. However, they would NEVER get asked because the only interesting football in FCS is HBCU football.

According to figures given to the board of trustees Friday, A&T’s fall enrollment stood at 10,875 — only about 1.4 percent higher than last fall, when A&T surpassed Florida A&M as the country’s largest historically black university.
“It’s a tough market,” A&T Provost Joe Whitehead Jr. said. “But it’s been positive. … One is never satisfied in this business with enrollment growth. We always want a higher enrollment rate.”
A&T’s enrollment grew by about 1.5 percent the year before that after two years of declines. Since 2007, A&T’s student count has ranged between about 10,400 and 10,900.

Ha! My FAMU family and friends sure didn't tell me anything about them believing in a return to glory in 2007. In Basebone's defense, everyone knew FAMU was going to be garbage in 2007. Yes, they were 3 years removed from the FBS mistakes, but year 3 and even 4 are the years that the recruiting drama bites you in the tail.
I also agree that Southern got a "let the SWAC win one this year" deal. Del State and FAMU weren't going to be able to do Hampton, SCSU, BCU and even Norfolk St could have done.
Come to think about it, I am going to leave this alone now because it's a pointless debate. SU won the challenge game and it's not their fault that they didn't play a top team. Unlike the previous SWAC champions and top SWAC teams, SU took care of business.

You bet because that 3-5 last place SU team totally out match you guys by at least 3 TD's. Negro please

What do you mean "you guys"?
So you're trying to tell someone who has never missed a FAMU game in his life...whether in person,on the radio, or on television... about expectations for his team?
I remember the buildup to that 2007 season and how excited everyone was to see Carter put it all together in his third or fourth season with the program.
As a matter of fact, the freshmen on that 2007 team ended up winning a MEAC title by the time they were seniors...there was talent on that team, and Taylor figured out how to use it in 2008

That's where I was going with it with FAMU.
Also, I am not hating on SU. I was happy they won, (although I found myself cheering for Del St on a few plays.) Lol.

Buddy it's a stupid question that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Besides if you can't comprehend what it means in the context of that sentence and you have two degrees. You got deeper issues

Lol. I can guarantee that this lil band dude has a athletic resume that you could hold with two hands.
Man, some (not all), of you SU folks really are something.

Um what does that have to do with you saying something as ridiculous as SU hand picked a team that they knew their 3-5 last place team could beat?
And that it was done for attendance purposes. One thing about 90% of the meac fans that are encounter in these forums. They are expert at knowing everything except what's going on right under their own nose.

I agree.
Air Force Reserve will join the new Celebration Bowl as title sponsor of the game that will open the college football bowl season. The Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl will feature the tradition, legacy and pageantry of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and will crown an HBCU football champion as the champions of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) square off against the champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) on ABC at noon on Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
“We are very excited to be the title sponsor of the inaugural Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl,” said Col. Christopher Nick, the Air Force Reserve’s Recruiting Service commander. “We feel that spotlighting the top teams from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities aligns well with the Air Force Reserve’s commitment to diversity. We hope that the players, attendees and viewers will gain greater awareness about Air Force Reserve opportunities to serve part-time in the military while living in their local communities.”
