**** was Kent's coach during his senior year. He changed the offense from a pass-happy offense to running dive plays on 3rd and 10.

Kent had a few mechanic issues but bell is the reason that boy didn't get a fair shot in the league...I think McNair tried to help him tho. I hate bell.

Man how is it and correct me if I'm wrong...Kent had a stupid Sophomore or JR year...I can't remember but I do know his SR was shatty..well not better to me than his previous years...That dude had some much hype in his career which he deserved...he was good QB, was it when BELL came in that his play started to go down...or change of O.C.s or something..I always wanted to know why he had a crappy SR year...

In 2003, I was in Natchitoches for Labor Day with some fam. 1 of my cuz went to the J-State-NSU game. A pro scout sat next to us who came there to watch Kent. At the start of the 2nd qtr., he leaned over and said, "if they don't start doing something, I'm gone...." With about 10 minutes left in the 3rd, he grabbed his bag and said "I'm tired of this sh!t!!! I'm out!" LOL.

That game was pitiful display of what was to come. JSU went from a spread offense with passes going over 30yds in the air to I formation and dive plays on 1st and 2nd downs. I don't think JSU completed more than 10 passes (in the air) beyond 20 yards for the whole season. Don't know if he would have made it, but **** (thanks TP) destroyed his senior year.

..and given the fact that we played like a pack of dead rats, the game never really got out of hand. I think NSU beat us like 20-7. I am sure that had we aired the ball out, we would have won or at least had a close game. At that point tho, a few of us, LIKE ME, were willing to give **** a chance simply because we were tired of the poorly prepared and coached Hughes teams. However, Hughes BIGGEST downfall is that he didn't actively recruit. He thought it was the 80s when players just came knocking on Lynch Street. He even told me that himself. JSU had a consistent 7-4 team back then. If we had hired Comegy, HE WOULD HAVE RECRUITED! ..and we would have been kicking azz. The team Big Daddy handed Hughes was nothing like the team Hughes left ****. We were on a serious talent slide by Hughes' final year. We would have continued to struggle and come in 2nd place in the EAST had we kept Hughes.

That part, except the cussing, was the lead in that Sunday's game article. After that, any support Bell had was long gone. The narrative was written and that was that. Bell never recovered from that.

Come on TP. You are a smart dude. ¿Didn't you go to Ga Tech?
It's OK to admit it doesn't look good for all our HBCU opponents this year. Bama St. JSU and FAMU all are going to get beat by at least 3 touchdowns. Po Edward Waters is going to lose by 70 or more.

Everything is new at JSU so we really don't know what to expect. However, nobody except JSU fans are expecting JSU to be good this year.

If that lightskinneded dude is still your QB we should beat yall this year. He is terrible and wildly overrated
 
It is interesting (as usual) to see JSU posters backing away from Bell when one poster told Plowdog that Bell was the best coach in the SWAC and another said in the newspaper that they needed to keep Bell, but now refuses to say Bell's name. When JSU fired Hughes I told you that what comes next might be worse. But back to the topic of the thread.....

A&M and Bama State may not be the most hated, but it is the most intense...We don't feel any acrimony for them...We just have some fun at the big game, kick that tail and send them back south. End of story.

BTW, the Magic City Classic is the only rivalry game between HBCU schools that the mainstream media recognizes as one of the most intense games in college football in general.

"Dipping back into the depths of football greatness that is the state of Alabama, we honor an in-state, in-conference and in-division rivalry from the Yellowhammer State that is not Alabama vs. Auburn....

Alabama State Hornets and Alabama A&M Hornets have met 76 times since 1924 in a little grudge match commonly referred to as the Magic City Classic.

The two schools are natural regional rivals... and split the difference every year when they meet halfway in Birmingham’s Legion field for a very closely contested rivalry.

What makes this meeting meaningful, and therefore intense, is the fact that both teams are SWAC East members who have won nine of the 13 divisional titles.... When these two close neighbors meet, they’re more than likely deciding who will represent their division in the Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship.

It’s long-standing, it’s meaningful...[and] one of the most intense matchups in the game. Alabama A&M holds a paper thin advantage over Alabama State in the all-time series 37-36-3."

I can see why you would say that. However, he is the best QB we have had since Leon Murray guided us to back to back OVC championships in 1999. Hands down the best QB in BCF this year. One of the best in FCS. The reason he's not Mr. All everything preseason is because he decided to dance on a Ford escort and got suspended.

He didn't look good against JSU last year, however that was his first game back from suspension.

He was 4-14 for 42 yards vs. JSU and we still easily beat you. He's going to be ready this season. Even though he missed a lot of time due to suspension and injury he still put up good numbers

84-140 1168 yards. 13 TDS 0 Ints.

Bottom line. We are going to beat the Shat out of you guys this year.

LOL....The Bayou Classic made ESPN's list of best college rivarlies. Doesn't get more mainstream than the worldwide leader in sports.

:lol: He's going off what the bleacher report says. Bleacher report tho???

B/R was founded in 2007 by four lifelong fans who'd consumed their fill of bland Internet sports content. After imagining a more enticing online experience, they set out to create…An amplified outlet for writers whose unique voices were routinely drowned out by cookie-cutter analysts and celebrity "experts"
A localized network for readers whose favorite teams were routinely under-covered by national wire services and mainstream news corporations
A civilized community for commenters whose intelligent debates were routinely overrun by message-board blowhards and mean-spirited trolls

So it was that a few really good ideas gave birth to one really big sports media company. Although we've grown by multiple orders of magnitude since the early days, it's hard to find any part of the modern B/R experience that wasn't at least dreamed of in those first inspired brainstorming sessions.

Dude, you just love to not tell the truth. That game last year could've gone either way as are most of the JSU/TSU games.

Guess it is easier to attack the messenger than the message. Did not this lady know about all of the rivalries in college football in general? To know specifically about the MCC is proof to me that she is knowledgeable about college football in general. She probably knew about the Bayou Classis too. Maybe the BC was one of the best rivalries at one time, but it has fallen down.

Just understand that the MCC will soon be nationally recognized and will replace the BC as the face of HBCU football. This article was the first step in that direction.
