I am talking about those years that the match ups were made based on the results from the prior season. When our defending SWAC Champion or previous solid finish team plays in that game, the result ended with them getting out tussled. Yes, Grambling (twice), Alabama State (twice), Jackson State (twice), PVAMU, and Alcorn all have gone into that Challenge Game and gotten outmuscled a time or two.When have our 1-3rd place teams played in the game? Again, check your facts. It never happens. AlaState won the SWAC with Tavares Jackson. They next year they played in the challenge and had a losing season. Grambling won the SWAC with Bruce Eugene. The next year, they were in the challenge and had a 3 win season. JSU won the SWAC with Jimmy Oliver, the next year, they were in the challenge. Alcorn was whooping BCU and the game had to end. The next time Alcorn went to the challenge, they hadnt played a game in two years and lost to a team that lost to Valley. C'mon bruh. Had our good teams played, they would have won. There may have been 2-3 even matchups. Most years, the MEAC teams in the challenge ended the year as champs or had 8+ wins.
Yes, I do remember Alcorn’s motor running before the game was called, but they weren’t “whoopin” BCU. I remember feeling like they were going to win through.
I want to see more PVAMU 2018, Jackson State 2023 like beatings in the Challenge Games. That’s all man.
We have a chance to go on a streak with FAMU, SU and Alabama A&M up next in the Challenge Game. I can deal with a 11-9 record knowing the we have to momentum.
