You are right, but I love competition. I want Valley to do well. When Frazier went to PV, I liked his plan for success and rooted for PV on several occasions. I was telling everyone that a strong HBCU FCS program in that area is just what we needed with the rise of the Southland Conference at the time. As some Alcorn fans can tell you on this board, I knew that Hopson was the man for the job and was going to get them rolling within 2 years because of his great recruiting tides to the coastal regions of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and the river parishes of Louisiana.
Now, it's Valley's turn to become relevant in the SWAC East. Comegy is a hard recruiter and rebuilds programs. I have always respected that. Valley will be very young this season, but they do have some serious talent coming in. Valley fans just need to remember that this is the SWAC conference and it's not impossible to have a winning season with a bunch of newbies. That defensive secondary and offensive line is going to be fun to watch. The secondary has speed, Boykin and two of the SWAC's top recruits in O'Neal and Young. The offensive line will have Gregory Black coaching up what's already there along with 8 newbies to work with. Anyone who pays attention to field details can clearly see that Black knows how to teach good fundamentals. My JSU alum-friends who have been around the program tell me that he has ways of making his lineman believe that they can play against any d line in the nation. I would think Valley folks are excited about him having 8 lineman on the roster to work with for 4 years.
That FAMU snake lost his rattler a long time ago. Lol.
