They are already advertising for the game so you know it's gonna be one for the books. Move over PV and Grambling .... a NEW and BETTER "classic" is on the way to Dallas. I truly believe that the State Fair Football Showdown featuring the largest HBCUs in Texas and Louisiana is gonna outdraw the State Fair Classic in attendance and hype. They also have two of the best and most popular bands in the SWAC which only adds fuel to the fire. It's gonna be a big black party in Dallas the whole weekend.

I sure wish Shreveport would wake up and utilize the Independence Bowl much more....

Even though it was raining and our team was not very good, I enjoyed playing Grambling in Shreveport.

Listen up maggots! And that's an order!
Nope ... not going to outdo SFC ... Wish this game was never signed on for the next two years ...
Doesn't hurt us in 2018 because it's a road game. Real talk, TSU is the winner in this contract.

Bruh don't do this to yourself. smhPVAMU has been playing the game in Dallas since 1929 and Grambling St since 1985. We have longevity and a fanbase here in the metroplex.
1) Most black people who live in Dallas are not loyal to any school and are likely new transplants that know nothing about SFC history.
2) Black people are all about the next new and hot big thing and it's coming the weekend of October 20th

Okay.
I won't waste keystrokes or time attempting to convince you otherwise. You will find out when those #s rollout. GSU and PVAMU had better not be undefeated or one loss between them come SFC time or our #s will push that 60K mark we've been bordering @.
I doubt we're losing money. The TSU game in BR hasn't sold well in a while unless it was homecoming. I trust Banks' judgment on this.

If Dooley is the PV HC those numbers will move towards the 70k range.

True and TSU and SU have a large enough contingency already based in North Texas so it's just a good business move.

THE Logical ONE
I thought Shreveport tried to host a classic. Shreveport is like Bham. Something about just dont sound right.
Don't nobody want to go to Shreveport but you. You need to get off that and go to some other towns to see the games.
2 years? Wasn't this a 4 year deal?
Just 2.

Just cautiously optimistic about this. I understand we gotta stack paper and expand the brand.

Of course they have to test the waters first before making a serious and long-term commitment.

The "Icon" of BCF
The game could not draw flies in fourth largest city in the U.S., but will supplant a well established game between PV and Gram having better programs? Laughable.
You Jags continue to amuse. You will always be second fiddle to the Icon of BCF. What is the adage again? If you cannot beat ‘em join ‘em.

First of gSUpertiger. What's up man?! Next, you know damn well this was a TxSU idea and SU went along with it since that game don't do well in Houston or BR. LOL. Third thing, Us Jags never take a back seat to you gSU folks. You just started coming back to the BC a couple of years ago after SU has had to carry it for the last decade or so. So slow your roll. We are glad you mofos decided to come back. You know yall are front running band wagon fan base. Don't let someone post poor Coach Rob's last home game. You will never live that down. Now that yall winning again, here comes the bravado. And you can leave PV out of it when talking about having better programs conversation. Well maybe when you refer to TxSU. But certainly not SU. Welcome back to the board man!

To really make this game pop, Yes SU will show up, but adding this and promoting this and start promoting this 2 months ahead of the game date will bring out more ppl to the event.
Promote Promote 2 months ahead of the game date I repeat. CREATE A IG PAGE, CREATE A website page,
1. I'll see if the Migos schedule is clear and book them to perform afterwards
2. Do not book any old school R&B acts, like Avant, or Case, or Faith Evans, this adds nothing to the event. Book either Migos for a 5 song set or Travis Scott, I doubt you can get a J.Cole, but get a big artist to cater to the 17-27 crowd. Migos would be my go to, if not them get SZA
Matter of fact, book SZA for after the game. She can do 3 to 4 songs, maybe 5
SZAAAAA should be booked to perform.
3. Book someone for your older crowd, such as maybe a Maze, or maybe Charlie Wilson, I'll go with Charlie Wilson for a concert after the game if the game is doing the day, include that in the price of the ticket if so. Some type of package deal.
4. Have a tail-gate party in the parking lot before the game and give out FREEEEEE food and drink.
5. That Friday night, have a Greek- Step off (only 4 of them perform) and the rest stroll, have a nice DJ to play songs between and then cap it off with a BOTB 15 rounds
Bighead for SWAC Commish.
This will turnout great for the fans and great for the promoter's pockets
