Mach, gram have had a team since 1926, Southern first game was in 1918. Where do you get 16 from? Is this that new accounting practice that Enron and others were using?

Btw, what is your overall percentage in head to head matchup against Southern?;)

BtwII, still trying to locate that picture you asked about.:goodbad:

Do you think that Grambling fielded a team all those years? I take it that the other info. is correct, because you didn't mention it.

Putting things in perspective.
It would be easy to say that su has won more games. su started playing football earlier than Grambling. Yet you can point out that su has more losses than Grambling. I'm sure it can be said it was because su started playing football earlier. And argument can be made about su swac titles and Grambling having more despite being in the conference less time. Point being we can come up with numbers to support many points. Bottom line. Winning percentage is the best meter when evaluating the entire span of a program. I am presenting facts for knowledge not smack.

So would you also say that passing efficiency is better than passing yards when evaluating a quarterback?

No. You can attempt 10 passes and complete 9. Do that a few times and a QB efficiency will be real high.

No matter how you spin it, gram still have not won more games than SU. gram has been in the SWAC for less time because they could not compete. In the first 5 games that was played in a 15 year time frame gram could not score a point until the 6th meeting. They did make up for loss time however and I will give you all kudos for that. Make no mistake S.U. is one of the most winning programs in all BCF. A lot of gramblngnites on this board have the misguided perspective that they have the only program that is rich in tradition (not saying you do). This is nothing but ignorance. Both schools have a rich heritage as do many others.....Peace
 
With all due respect to those that laid the foundations for greatness of these two programs, who really cares about what went on in the 30s and 40s?

How many of us were born yet when Ace was coaching?

To me, recent history matters and there is NO contest there.....

Proof Positive...during this 30 year (three decade) time frame you would have been fortunate to win 1 SWAC title. You all were not nearly ready for the SWAC.

The funniest thing about the aforementioned is, Legendary "Ace" Mumford would tell grambling exactly what he was going to run and dare them to stop it.

This is getting ridiculous... Of course our first coach had to come from somewhere. But neither or first President nor first coach (Eddie Robinson) are products of Southern. No big deal if they were, but they were not.

Where is SU's first prez and coach alumni of?
