It was for educational purposes because you al live in a bizzaro world where you all actually think some one cares about the mode of transportation that a marching band takes to an event.

TP,

If J-State's football program doesn't get its act together soon, the band won't be making trips to Jackson either. LOL!!!! (No smack intended). Those games are starting to get boring.

*snicker*
 
like i said before, Grambling always tries to find a way to duck playing us in Itta Bena. I have my opinion and u all have yours. You can come to the game or stay home, it really doesn't matter either way, because we can do without hearing you pathetic excuse for a band, or your psyched fans. I swear u all live in a dream world. U guys are doing right, save your tampax and other commercial money to take the looooong.......trip to New Orleans to get beat to sleep by SU once again this year.

Dude, thats just it...Its not an opinion, its a fact. We are not ducking you. We simply choose not to show up.

If you don't sound like a woman scorned...:lol:

and there u have it, u just made my point for me.


ducking = not showing up


class dismissed
 



This conversation has gotten way off track so Im going to sum everything up. We are not gioing to Chicago and no one really cares, Grambling may have a good band but there arent very many people in MS who think of Gram when you speak in terms of great bands (no offense but that's how it is) they'd much rather see JSU and SU. Oh and one last thing, no one cares that GSU isnt coming to Itta Bena. Why? We aren't very fond of you all and no one in Itta Bena is interested in going to Grambling.

That's probably all very true. The Grambling folk are not interested in going to Itta Bena and it seems the Valley folk feel the same about a game in Grambling. I personally think both schools should consider moving the game to New Orlean's Tad Gormley stadium for two years. It would be a good recruiting tactic for both schools (students, band, athletes).

I've heard of Gormley but have never seen it. Where is it in N.O. and what's the capacity?

Tad Gormley is in City Park in N.O. I know it was renovated for the Olympic Trials back in the 90s. Tulane played a game here a few years ago.

Mike, Valley would be the perfect game for Gram in N.O. Valley has always recruited kids from N.O. as well as Gram. The alumni should push on this one.
 
Yeah that would be a good idea because neither school goes to the others home games. Make it a yearly thing and it could grow into something. New Orleans or Jackson...

Nothing against Jackson, but Valley could probably have better recruiting success in New Orleans. Plus having the game in New Orleans would be attractive to non-New Orleans recruits from both schools. Throw in the fact that New Orleans has some of the best high school musicians to recruit from and you see the merit of such a game.

I just think this is win/win. Grambling needs an additional game in the Southern part of the state and Valley could also benefit from playing
in this venue.

I have no problem with N.O. I was just giving an additional site option. Especially since Jackson is in a closer driving range to Valley. They might not see the advantage of playing the game in N.O. like you and I might.

Now, I would drive to Valley to see the game but I am more likely to drive to Jackson. Main reason it is closer and easier to get to. In terms of N.O. I would make the trip but I don't know if too many Grambling folks would be willing to give New Orleans their money twice a year. I like the idea of it though.

Now that is a good idea. Instead of all the expense of trying to move the game to Chicago, give it a shot in N.O. at Tad Gormley. Plenty of good athletes to recruit from.
