Sheridan Poll After Week #1


Shelt,

I don't think it's a matter of having the guts to play yall, it's a matter of economics and recruiting. Those are the two main reasons you schedule non-conference schools. Tuskegee has a good program, but it would not be a good draw attendance wise.
We don't need to play another Alabama school for recruiting purposes cuz we have two schools in our conference.

I would expect GSU would play Ft Valley b4 Tuskegee just because of the benefit of recruiting in Georgia. Don't misinterpret this as a slap agains Skegee, I personally think yall are legit! But for GSU, right now...it's doesn't add up!
 
Shelt,

We don't make it a habit of scheduling D2 schools for the same reasons y'all don't schedule a bunch of NAIA squads. Y'all got your chest poked out talking all big and bad. I don't profess that JSU would blast Tuskegee just because of our divisional status. We are more talented than Tuskegee. Way more talented. And it would show on the field. But much of that has to do with the fact that JSU gives twice as many scholarships as you. You try to downplay that. I don't.

Denial really ain't just a river in Africa.
 



Man Its easy to do a lotta thinking about what you'd do, when you play Lane and clark Atlanta and miles every week. It would be like JSU beating up on Valley and PV and then claim we just as good as Florida, Miami, and oklahoma. Bottom line is skegeeaintonjsulevel. No way in the hell you could hang with the likes of Robert Kent and TC Taylor.
 
Bama St...Do Like A&M and handle your business!!

In all sincerity, because of your Turkey Day debacles you have this remedial football program with the mind set that they can be competitive with BCF powers. AAUM made a statement to these people a couple of years ago with that 54-0 blow out when they were undefeated and it is now time for you to give it to them. These people are no more BCF champs than Clarence Thomas is the representative for the Black Community. Skegee may be a good ball club for FAMU, A&T, JST, S.U. or GRAM to give them a 1yr contract to be a homecoming patsy. I think that their head coach would be a good assistant at one of the aforementioned schools. But, I caution you, keep him away from the media. For those that are emotional, their is no pun intended. If this school and administrators thought that they could be winners consistently on the next level measures would have been taken to excel. They are confortable with the status quo and in reality know their role but are astute enough to fuel propoganda.

In all sincerity, if your school or any other school takes care of their business, everything will work itself out. Right? Just think if SU was undefeated and a Div 2 team was undefeated, who do u think would win the national championship???
So while you're throwing stones at ASU for losing to Skegee (and yes, I hate that fact myself), shouldn't you also be throwing stones at your own school too?????

Mighty Hornet,

Come on dude. Losing to another I-AA school should have no bearing on that poll, since D2s and I-AAs shoulcn't be together anyway.
 
rob,
I agree that there should be separate polls. Make NO mistake about that.
But for Sheridan, it is not. We all know that going in, so we have to act and win accordingly or just totally ignore this poll altogether.

So if u want to blame ASU for Skegee's Sheridan 'title', you can also blame every team in the SWAC and MEAC too. If ANY one of those teams had finished undefeated, the title would have been theirs.

If this were anyone other than Tigerpimp making this statement, I wouldn't have a big problem with it. But we know how warped this lame is.
 
MH,

That is not the case in point. You are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out there (read GR's signature) if you think that it is not YOUR team's fault that Gram did not win both BCF titles.

And you are farther out there if you think ASU is responsible for anything regarding Grambling except ASU vs GSU. Was ASU responsible for GSU losing the BC?

smdh
 
Duece,

On 2nd thought, you are so right!!!!!
I should overlook TP. He's been known to hold team A responsible for team B's fate.
Remember, this is the dude who was depending on Valley.
:(

I guess it's Valley's fault JSU didn't make it to the SCG
 
Someone said we played Miles Lane and Clark every week. dumb statement, since we only play them once every year. In '99 we lost to A&M 54-0. We were 5-0 at the time and went on to finish 9-3 (including a win over ASU). That team was good but not as good as our 2000 team. That team didn't get to play A&M.

JROCK saying we have a remedial program (a program that has won more games than any HBCU in history mind you) and that our coach is only good enough to be an assistant to a coach at the so called"BCF POWERS" shows me that your football knowledge is lacking. Meanwhile the so called BCF powers won't play us, but whine about who we play. Very easy to do. Until you play us, all any of us can do is talk. Robber thinks that they have more talent, way mare talent than we do. He thinks this because of scholarship differences. I disagree and I'll leave it at that. You guys act like you play super powers every week, while we play high school teams. I should remind you people of last year's SIAC vs SWAC head to head.

SIAC 3
SWAC 2. Including a loss to the last place team in the SIAC Kentucky State by UAPB. Don't blame it all on ASU! Oh my God!! How is this possible? D1AA SWAC is far superior to D2. Give me a break.
 
My issue with the Poll is a like of respect for HBCU traditional powers. The polls that track PWC rely on tradition and tend to favor schools that have won on a consistent basis.
 



This is how i think things will pan out, in a couple of weeks. (after GSU - FAM game)

1. Florida A&M
2. Jackson State
3. North Carolina A&T
4. Grambling
5. Bethune Cookman
6. Tennessee State
7. Texas Southern
8. Hampton
9. Southern Univ.
10. Alabama State
 
mighty hornet,

I ain't blaming ASU for Tuskegee winning that NC. Hell, Sheridan does a good enough job screwing that up. I'm blaming y'all for having to listen to Shelt and crew talk about how equally talented they are with JSU.

But I'm sure the few studs they do have will graduate and they'll again be middle of the road SIAC and Bama State will go back to dragging them up and down the field soon enough. A team with all that talent ain't got no business being such a loser until recently. What the hell have they been doing all this time prior to last year and year before.

Shelt,

Not a single one of them wins came at the expense of JSU. Y'all ain't ready.
 
MH..I stated not to take this "Personal."

No one is blaming you for the Sheridan's blunder. But remedial Skegee football thinks because they have been winning the last couple of years they are truly on the upper echelon of BCF level. Look at that weak SIAC v.s. SWAC from last year propoganda. One would think these remedial programs mauled GRAM,JSU,SU & AAMU. All I am saying is that you need to take the d-2 puddy cats to the woodshed (handle yo' business).....Peace
 
Well Jrock considering that the only wins the SWAC had on the SIAC were against perennial doormat Lane college, i think my SWAC vs. SIAC point is valid. I mean A mid level SWAC team lost to last place SIAC team Kentucky State at home. Kentucky state RB Alvon Brown put up over 200 yards on 'em. Meanwhile, we beat that same KSU team 41-7. What am I supposed to think? That we are inferior to you? Just because you're in the SWAC? I don't think so.
 
No Smack Intention....

But, there are many people that believe that green cheese is on the moon and this wrestling humbug is real. It is at best delusional to believe that remedial skegee can compete consistently in 1-AA. Your program at best can compete with lower tier 1-AA programs. At best your program would be an "also ran" for 2-3 yrs and then become a "door mat." To think your team would have beat Grambling last year is complete insanity. Your coach is as delusional as your fans. You are a good D-2 program and that is it. Not the best, but a good program. If your program did not settle for the "status quo" it would have stepped up with Hampton, AL. A&M and Pine Bluff. You people know your place and that is where you are....in D-2 SIAC. Your head coach would probably make one hell of an assistant an a great contribution at an upper echelon HBCU. The key would be him understanding the hierarchyand waiting his turn (assuming he has that much time). Grambling would not be the place because they have a young coach. The natives may grow restless in bama and perhaps your coach will get a shot at one of the public universities in your state. That is the best case scenario. The worse case scenario is that he continues there because reality is right around the corner. Skegee kind of remind of security guards contending that they are police. "The proof is in the pudding." You people dont consistently contribute to the NFL because you have JUCO quality players. Your coach in particular and fans need to "get your mind right."
 
As a sports information director and working directly with athletic departments, conferences, the ncaa and other university officials, I find some of the rhetoric appalling coming from college educated individuals. I will not delineate any specifics, but you have a lot of incorrect information posted on this and other sites.

ROBBER,

Please do your research a little better. Tuskegee defeated Jackson State 14-0 in 1912. You indicated that none of TU's 535 victories had come against JSU. Just the facts!!!!!!
 
TUSports,

I was referring to the SIAC's wins over SWAC teams last year. Not JSU vs. Tuskegee in 1912.:rolleyes: But since you went so far back, how many other times have we played??? And who won them???
 
TU

Seeing as JSU did not have a football team until 1913, I find it hard to believe that you beat Jackson State in 1912. This is sad. Did D2 Exist in 1912?
 
Check and see how many wins and losses TU has with SU

TUSports
SU has played TU in the past. I want you to post the number of wins and losses from that series.


According to my records, TU coulda had 547 wins if it hadna played SU. How 'bout them apples or grapes or oranges or any other kind of fruit you prefer.
