JSU '04 schedule SWAC-heavy


Tigers will play 9 league teams; only 7 to count in standings

Jackson State's football team was originally scheduled to host Nicholls State this fall.

The Tigers won't be playing the Colonels, though, because of a new mandate from the Southwestern Athletic Conference requiring each school to play the other nine schools in the league.

That twist left JSU athletic director Roy Culberson with only two slots for non-conference games, and those slots were already contractually filled. The Tigers will host Northwestern (La.) State in a return game on Sept. 11 and play Tennessee State in Memphis on Sept. 18 as part of the Southern Heritage Classic.

"That's why the schedule sets up the way it does," said Culberson of the 11-game schedule released by JSU on Tuesday. "Ideally, you would like to have at least one revenue-driven game, but the mandate makes it much more difficult to schedule that type of game.

"It caused some problems for us, and I'm sure it caused some problems for other people around the league as well."

JSU, which finished 2-10 last season under first-year coach James Bell, opens Sept. 4 against Texas Southern at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.That is one of five home games for the Tigers, who close the regular season Nov. 20 against rival Alcorn State in the annual Capital City Classic.

JSU has an open date on Oct. 2 before hitting the road for the rest of the month. The Tigers are scheduled to play Alabama State in Mobile and Southern University in the Superdome.

Only seven of the games against the other nine league teams will count in the SWAC standings. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Oct. 30) and Prairie View (Nov. 13) are the games that don't count for the Tigers.

"There's a cycle they use to determine which games count and which ones don't," Culberson said.

I hate it, too. I hope those that asked for it get the intended benefit.

Had Nichols State coming to Jacktown. Woulda been nice. And we lose a home game and are forced to go way to PV. The more I think about it, the more shullbit I think this mandate is. They taking money out of our pockets.

:smh: at the SWAC Office and SWAC Commissioner! :redhot: Anyone in the right mind can see that the mandate is not going to benefit any of the SWAC teams and will do more at reducing overall revenue that increasing! I tell ya.....stupid folks! :confused:

so MH.... I take it that since JSU is playing ASU in Mobile, then SU and Bama St are playing in Montgomery????
 
I believe the time is incorrect for the JSU vs Bama State game.

That will be the Gulf Coast Classic, and that is almost always an evening game. The kick-off will probably be 6:00.
 
Can somebody explain to me who came up with this crap.IF seven only count why are we playing all .The swac is dumb.Why have the scg then .It has no meaning at all.They need to have it liek other conferences .You are mandated to only 5 or 6 conference teams.The swac could could keep teh ol rivalries in place but all those non factor games.Let team sschedule out of conference to play competition.This is why the nfl questions our comp. This is ridiculious.Robert vowels need his azz kicked!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what's wrong with us with HBCU Football. We think buying a ticket and paying taxes is enough to put the best on the field.
 
its not but a coach who is putting the best on the field would help don't you think.Only at hbcu 's will we taqke what cheese is handing out to us. They don't take this at pws .So why should we settle for less. I thought the coach should know who to play and when to play them.As long is money is green and does not grow out of my azz or on trees i will continue to voice my opinion on issues i don't like and others liek me don't like either but will not say.ITS my right as a double muslim !!!!!
 
I thought it was the SWAC Council of Presidents who wanted this format? ($$$$$$ that the lower tier SWAC schools weren't receiving while those same $$$$ were going to "outside" teams)

At any rate, the format doesn't make sense w/ us having an E-W format and a SCG.

Why have the SCG if every team must play the other? :confused:

Pros/cons either way. I'm most def for each SWAC school playing each other :tup: because <b>I understand the value and power of the black dollar and how it affects other institutions</b>.

Ditto!!!!
 
Since you all are so ticked about the 9 game mandate why don't you throw your weight around and have that mandate resended. It's your dollars that are funding the program.
