SWAC 2013 Football Predictions

I don't understand why folks are discouraging preseason prognosticating. Thats the beauty of football. Why can't we guess what our teams are going to do on what we know now? People are going to say stupid stuff but that ain't nothing new.

Barlow made a biiiiig mistake hiring Ramsey. Bamastate would've been in a better position had you kept your last DC. You hired a guy JSU scored 103 points on in the last 2 years ...not a good move

You are right GR about the points his 2011/12 defense gave up. I remember the defense he put on the field in 2010. We're hoping he's that coach. It's ironic our former DC is now on the staff in Houston.
 
EAST

Alabama State - loaded on both sides of the ball:D
JSU - close second:tophat:
AA&M - coach Jones will be on the hot seat this season:kaioken:
Alcorn/MVSU tie:devil2:

WEST

APB - #1 until someone beats them:spin:
SU - Odoms is working hard to turn the Jags around:bowdown:
PVU/TSU toss up:sleeping:
GSU - Doug has problems:pimp::argue2:

didnt take long for this one to go off track. :lol:
 

And there are some Hornets recruits that want meet academic requirements. However, most of our Feb signees are in summer school going through workouts. They are an impressive group. Most will redshirt.

Barlow has the talent. What he does with it remains to be seen

This is the thing about Bama State, they have Barlow. Barlow-coached teams are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. That's a good thing.
I'd like to see what kind of defense they have. Last year's defense wasn't much to write home about.
I really hope he plays Cromwell like he did last year, which was sparingly.

Now since Bama State's explosive QB is now gone, that's going to be a major spot to fill. If he's nowhere near comparable to last year's QB, Bama State will have problems consistently scoring.

But JC

He had a bunch of illegal players on that team. Anybody can coach a bunch of players that have no business on a college football team. He lasted 12 games with legal players. You guys made a SWAC move. The team y'all have to beat to get to the scg is JSU. You had the DC that was giving us hell. Firing him was a bad mistake. I feel like you took two steps back. '
 
Instead of sticking to the subject at hand, sounds like two folks are trying to convince themselves that they're not wrong.
Perhaps it's because they're not interested in the standings knowing full well their school will not finish first in their division no matter how much they talk about standings.
PB will dominate the West with ease, unless PV gets in the way.

You are right, we should stick to the top, but you and a few of your compadres say some outlandish stuff, which one can see from your post below. Now I know why booger wanted to go on a slapping spree at one of jsu's press lunching. Instead of criticizing everything JROCK and I point out to you, you should be thanking us for sitting you straight so you won't look like a fool amongst non-SWAC individuals. Now back to the topic, because I had to get that off my chest.

Thanks for that bit of info JR. I was looking at the stats published by USA Today and based on those stats, it showed Grambling as being more responsible financially.
Seems to me that they were doing more with less and they didn't have to cut athletic programs in the process and broke out even. I could be wrong though.
They also didn't put more of a burden on students in balancing their athletic budget like certain schools. Some schools supported athletics primarily off the backs of the student body. Grambling didn't do that.

As far as Jindal's concerned, he has su cutting programs left and right, so it's obvious he'd agree with that, so that's nothing to write home about. Again, thanks for your input.

From looking at the numbers below, can anyone tell me which SWAC school burden their students the most to support their athletic programs from 2005 to 2012?

Hint: The amount of burden they placed on their students to support their athletic programs from 2005 to 2012 was slightly over $20 million.

Also, USA Today didn't report Alcorn's finances for 2005.

These aren't projected budgets they are final numbers. And, all of our schools received state aid to meet expenses. TP, you can't tell me too much about budgets. I've developed and managed department budgets over the years.

I didn't say they were projected. I just said they were how much the CHOSE or, more than likely, HAD to spend.
 
How JSU people talk, you would think they dominate in all sports, etc. They would fool someone who didn't know any better.

We don't dominate every sport but 9 times outta 10, you have to go thru JSU to win a championship. That's just the way it is.
 
From looking at the numbers below, can anyone tell me which SWAC school burden their students the most to support their athletic programs from 2005 to 2012?

Hint: The amount of burden they placed on their students to support their athletic programs from 2005 to 2012 was slightly over $20 million.

We have more students than most SWAC schools so if every student is paying, why wouldn't we collect more money from them. You act like we charge more per student or something.

Ya'll have some of the dumbest arguments. What was the purpose of even posting that? :smh:
 
True, and there are too many X factors if you don't have enough data to make a general statement about someone's budget being lower due to travel expenses. For example, Bama State's budget was 6.2 million more than A&M. It's apparent to anyone that knows what they're looking at that there is much more going on there than traveling expenses. Unless you have an itemization of these expenses, you simply don't know the whole reason for the disparity. I would look at that budget and one question that comes to mind is would some of the new stadium expenses be included in Bama State's budget. And that is just a surface observation without doing any in-depth analysis. These programs are not monolithic and have different needs from year to year.

Exactly. THESE budgets mean nothing so why do ya'll post them like they are some sort of gospel? :smh:
 
Now since Bama State's explosive QB is now gone, that's going to be a major spot to fill. If he's nowhere near comparable to last year's QB, Bama State will have problems consistently scoring.

There is no one in Montgomery that isn't happy Jenkins is gone. He was the better athlete but the better qb is still on campus. That fact was a major frustration for hornet fans, along with the use of crowell. Both of those things looked to be corrected this season. But there is no question that Duhart is a much better passer, and they don't need their qb to run right now.

Did you not see the word "MOST"? sheesh

Also, I am not sure what PVs numbers are. JSU was at 8900 the last two years. Those numbers you posted could be off for everyone but regardless, I still said MOST. sheesh

Actually, your DC was pretty good but actually our old OC made him look better than he was. No way ya'll should have beat us in 2010 or 2011. BUT that does not change the fact that Ramsey won't help ya'll. Like GR said, we drop bombs on Ramsey!

There is no way in 2010 or 2011 that we were suppose to be throwing the ball against the league worst run defense and not to mention the 2 All Americans DBs Bama State had they were picking off Casey left and right smh...Our OC was dumb....he had a good system but was more of a one trick pony.

Let's just say, this was for your boy jayrob and his dumb comment, but I guess you are coming to his defense. But as you can see, no one from jsu should be able say anything about putting more of a burdening on students to balance their athletic budget, especially when jsu's student fees for its athletic department are about the same or more than some SWAC schools.

Thanks for that bit of info JR. I was looking at the stats published by USA Today and based on those stats, it showed Grambling as being more responsible financially.

As far as Jindal's concerned, he has su cutting programs left and right, so it's obvious he'd agree with that, so that's nothing to write home about. Again, thanks for your input.

Come on dude...really? You are going to hold up a lie? A big lie? You didn't belong on the field with JSU in 2010. The refs kept you in that game and gave y'all the win yet you typed that big lie. I see you haven't changed at all
 
GR,
At NO point did you lead or were in control of either of those games.
Yall weren't nearly as good as yall think. But then again, yall never are.
 
Remember when SU used to start all the baseball threads and bamastate would start all the basketball threads? Those were the days. We won't have to see that mess for a while.

Wait....remember when MikeBigg would post all those articles about those losers at Grambling? Wheeeeew...I'm so glad that's over


You mean those teams that used to kick JSU's azz every year? I bet you are glad!
