The SWAC is soft. Let’s just admit it

Interesting. Losing players doesn't affect depth. Imagine that. Why you in here complaining about JSU? We didn't keep y'all from defending your crown.

losing players is a part of the game and has been for as long as the game has been played.

who's complaining i'm just pointing out the facts. and you're right, you didn't stop us from defending our crown. but we have a crown.

Taking nothing from NCCU as they did what they were supposed to do. You know this not the same as losing folks to injury. Lets just call a spade, a spade. Again, that was not on NCCU. That was all on our former coach
 



It's folks in this thread who's teams couldn't win 4 games lol. Everybody knows what happened and still almost pulled it out in the end. Congrats to those eagles again

all year long we've heard about the supposed depth JSU has. couple players don't play and all i hear is excuses. last year it was JSU didn't care about SCSU. this year it's something else. nah, just got that ass whipped two years straight and outcoached by better coaching staffs.

No one said a peep about SCSU. Congrats on your victory too.
 
I would not rate the entire SWAC a soft as Icon Gram won one and lost a nail biter to A&T. All of the Alcorn losses to A&T were within a TD with the exception of their last matchup, but still scored 44 points. They never laid down.

Really only Mississippi’s only urban university is the soft one, and certainly no one is surprised as we know how Ole Faithful performs in big games (well documented since the SWACpage days).

J-State has the worst margin of defeat against SCSU and the most shameful performance against NCCU in CB history. A squad many thought was G5 caliber with over 100 years of NFL coaching and playing experience made a mockery of the SWAC.

Let it be written and let it be done that Thee holds the title alone of being soft.

In a similar post I wrote about our lack of defense. However, after watching the FCS semis and the Celebration Bowl I’ve come to the conclusion that we are just soft as a conference. Most of the top FCS teams run boring, smash mouth, offensive schemes. I hope there’s a paradigm shift amongst our schools to recruit more physical players so we can matchup better with the upper echelon teams.

Check out our record vs Non-Conference FCS foe for the last 3 decades! We have been pretty weak for a long time.

SWAC is not soft, the top 3 teams would crush the MEAC. The MEAC coaching staffs repair better than SWAC coaches. They even collaborated for this game. They have a chip on their shoulder and this is there super bowl.

You are new to the SWAC, so your opinion doesn’t carry much weight. You haven’t been on this side of the trenches long to feel this thread.

Pound for pound/team for team, I would pick the SWAC to come out on top of the MEAC since FAMU and BCU has joined. However, when it’s champion vs champion or good team vs good team under the big lights, the SWAC has gotten roughed up for the most part of the last 25 years. Check out the match ups.

You have damn good FCS teams who throw the ball a ton.

You need a great O-line and D-line…not an ok line, but GREAT. When Billy Joe was near the top, people forget how good his teams were in the trenches.

The MEAC isn’t anymore physical than the SWAC. The MEAC does get more time to prepare for an opponent…the past two years specifically because everybody knew Jackson State was gonna be in the CB

Once again, you are another “new to the SWAC fan” who hasn’t been in the the SWAC family long enough to understand. Yes, the MEAC is more physical than the SWAC and I have been saying it for years. It’s lightning vs thunder when the best of the SWAC and MEAC get together. The Celebration Bowl and Challenge Game results favor the MEAC for a reason. Yes, the SWAC has snuck in some wins, but when the best play the best, the SWAC gets outmuscled tussled. I hate it, but it’s true.

Since 2021

AAMU beat 2 MEAC teams in one year
FAMU spanked SCSU
Valley beat NCCU
ASU beat Howard

It's not a SWAC problem. It's a Jasson Steaks problem

You are posting a very short list of success compared to what the MEAC has done to the SWAC for the past 25 years. Yes, it’s a SWAC problem. If you would have lost the MEAC vs SWAC results in that span, you would clearly see that we have underperformed. Our conference is pretty bad and our records vs other FCS Conferences as well.

Wow, you don’t know my history, my best 2 golfing buds graduated from JSU and Southern. I also have a few frat brothers that attended SWAC schools. Just because I am new to this blog doesn’t make a novice Mr. “Assume”.

You still haven’t been in the SWAC trenches long enough to understand the point that has been made. Do some more research on the the SWAC vs MEAC overall meetings for the past 25 years.
 
Not soft. Just NCCU proves alot of coaches in the swac are incompetent or lazy or want to win but don't have a winning coach's "mentality". The game planning isn't competitive...for example the OC at my dear TSU. Idgaf, I said it. He likes to stop what works in the game. That's his offensive adjustment....every game.

Their offense is based on Unrelenting run game. They have the trench guys to run it and stop the run. Their game plan come hellbor high water is to run the ball and score on sustained drives. We run, but we as a while area pass oriented and run game impatient. We run it but we don’t focus on the run game. Ever MEAC Team has outrushed us in the CB. Grambling was probably close but that was a defensive tussle.

Their formula is winning!

No I’m a man HBCU fan. Been watching SWAC football as long as I’ve been watching MEAC football.

You guys are overreacting…badly

When the SWAC was losing to A&T in the CB, they were losing to a generationally great A&T squad. OVERALL, the MEAC is not physically stronger than the SWAC.

Head to head, too to bottom, the SWAC will win the majority of contests now. I’m sorry JSU nor Alcorn could win the big one.
 
we tend to play better against them at the beginning than the end - everyone had Bama State QB as a Heisman Candidate at the beginning

few years ago, Prairie View smacked NCCU, Southern beat SCSU
 
The SWAC is not soft....we just don't take out of conference games as serious and by the time we get to the Celebration Bowl our coaches and players are too relaxed in their current scheme.

Let's be honest a SWAC team can lose all their out of conference games and still end up in the SWAC Championship if they win all of their conference games. Then let's take it a step further and look at the contracts and the bonuses. Does a coaches contract provide incentives for out of conference wins or just specific games.
