Fall football starts in a couple of days by the way and we have much more to talk about.:tup:

Hope this one's not abruptly closed.
 

Since it's directly linked to JSU football, I figured this would be good here ....

Offer on table, but JSU hasn't signed it

Jackson State and the Department of Finance and Administration have yet to reach an agreement on the tenant-renter relationship for Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, DFA deputy executive director Rita Wray said Wednesday.

The Tigers are scheduled to play their football home opener in the 67-year-old stadium on Sept. 6 against Stillman.

The DFA assumed control of the facility from a governor-appointed Stadium Commission July 1, per state legislation.

"Nothing signed today .... but it's on the table," Wray said. "I received their stadium proposal that included (all of their concerns) and they were incorporated within that contract. I think it's going to be a win-win for both."

Wray said that she is not concerned that a contract has not been signed. JSU athletic director Bob Braddy feels differently.

"We are very concerned," Braddy said. "As of this moment, I have not seen (a contract). It's rather frustrating.

"We will not play in the stadium without a contract. And we will play some place. The game will be played. That's all I can say."

Offer On Table

I know the J-State Tigers here aren't worried, but your AD seems to be. Any contingency plans for where you would play?
 
Wow.......Braddy sounds serious. I am sure they will get a contract signed.

I am curious to where Braddy would be willing to play if the contract didn't get signed.
There is no adequate stadium in the Jackson city limits outside of Memorial to play in. Newell Field is not even really a good HS stadium....it used to be. But it aint big enough. Hughes Fields as well...was never worth anything either. I always hated when we played there in HS. Did they build another stadium for HS ball in Jackson that I don't know about?

Anyway hopefully the contract gets signed.

Compared to Southern's what?.........dude you do realize that your AD said he has not seen the contract. So he can't think it is a win win situation for JSU until he sees it for himself. Wray can say whatever to the paper......I guess you believe them white folks over your AD. Braddy aint no dummy. So I would tend to believe what he says. So until he sees the contract......highlighting what Wray said is moot.

Dude, how many scholarship cuts, plus ineligible players? If it's one, that's one too many, cause yall need....let me repeat, yall NEED all the help you can get when you dawn Memorial (and you KNOW it will be Memorial), that hostile environment that yall call "God's Country".:emlaugh:

Sorry to inform you Jayrob......the schollie cuts meant none of the walkons earned a scholarship for this year. Everybody else got theirs. Pete don't award all 63 scholarships every year anyway. It was in the paper. I guess yall glossed over that tidbit. He found a work around. Most of our coaches in the SWAC do not use all 63 scholarships every year.

This means that Pete has done his "con" job well....once again.

I do recall hearing this SAME type of unbridled enthusiasm last year. I won't name names, cause I'm in a good mood. (It's the first of the month).:emlaugh:
