Southern's 2002 Football Schedule

I understand SU's reasoning behind playing another home game rather than be locked into a home and home with someone from the East when you don't have too. Too bad, SU and Alcorn couldn't work out some arrangement to play the game even when not on the schedule.

I also understand Alcorn's position. I would come to BR, but it would cost you some $$$ (like 60-40 split at the gate). Sorry folk, but it's economics.

As a SWAC traditionalist, I agree with someone's post that it seems that GSU, SU, Alcorn, and JSU should play each other. But the AD's have to make moves that are in the financial best interest of his programs.
 
This could also benefit the conference through the SWAC Championship Game.

Imagine the interest of the SWAC Championship Game, if it featured a Southern versus Alcorn State match-up. Considering the two teams featured would not have met during the SWAC divisional regular season.

Yeah I saw that on the band board. I am wondering why SU and FAMU can't come back to table and renew their contract. Sounds like Billy Joe nor Pete are that interested. i would love to see SU and FAMU play in Mobile, Alabama. FAMU is playing Troy State there this year.
Miles just doesn't do it for me if they are on there. But I notice some SWAC schools have picked up the Atlanta schools. I would rather play Mo Brown again. At least they are 1-AA. I wonder what happened to the TnState rumors of a year ago. Well we will see what happens.

i hope its true what everyone is saying. everybody down here in mobile is saying that mobile is going to get a new bcf classic in the next two years. i hope its true. someone tell me it is.

PF,
We finally agree. But for some reason Billy Joe was quoted as saying it was fine with him not playing us because he had enough tough games. Go figure. I know he wanted out of the Miami game and I can understand that. But considering that FAMU had beat us until this past year, I would figure they would want to play. Pete didn't seem too unhappy about not playing FAMU either so I don't know if its just personal for both coaches or what. But both schools are missing out. I actually hate we stopped playing TnState too. But it has more to due with the OVC than them not wanting too. When I was at SU we played FAMU and TnSU every year. I would love to see SU/FAMU in Mobile every year. They have added another classic game down there in addition to the GCC. FAMU is playing Troy St this year. But SU vs FAMU there would be great. Halfway for both schools and really no home field advantage. Good recruiting tool for both schools and a guarnteed sellout and Battle of the Bands. I wish someone from Mobile would approach SU and FAMU about this for 2003.

so is it really true? what is the name of this classic? it would be a sure sell out every year.
 
Two questions????

Number one:

What is wrong with the GCC? Why does Mobile need another BCF Classic, esp. one that will only move ASU to it? Also if ASU leaves the GCC what will happen to it?

Number two:

When will the JSU/SU game be played? 9/21 or 10/19? In BR or NO?

One to grow on:

What happened to the 9/21 matchup in Adelphia btwn TSU and SU?

I know it's more than two questions but I'm confused....:confused:

SPOKE WITH THE SID AT MILES COLLEGE. HE CONFIRMED THAT MILES WILL PLAY SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY IN FOOTBALL ON NOVEMBER 9, 2002 IN BATON ROUGE. THE MIGHTY MIGHTY JAGS!!!

if there is another classic,asu won't have to leave the gcc, if we do get another classic we could just invite different bcf teams every year instead of just having one school to play every year. i don't have anything against the gulf coast classic or asu, people in mobile just want to see more bcf. we need another classic, it also needs to be televised on bet.
 
As far as the SU/TnSU matchup is concerned, the SU Athletic Department dropped the ball on that one and didn't get the necessary paperwork done for the game to be held the last week in August in New Orleans.

I was hoping SU would be on our schedule this year, but I'm not sure if talks resumed.

Who's doing SU's scheduling? Maybe they have their own agenda.
 
Miles? They forgoed FAMU for Miles? Lord have mercy they have no right to comment on any team played below 1-aa schools this season.

Miles College = Stillman College

Pete Richardson = Bill Thomas

Southern, Pete and Bill Thomas suck more than a Dirt Devil.
 
Hey PF,
I bet Miles can beat PV. And why do you think it was SU's
doing not to play FAMU. Billy Joe made it clear in the Tally Ho
paper last year that the SU/FAMU game is a risk for both teams
beating on each other for an out of conference game late in the season. Pete agreed with him. The only time they ever agreed. I wish someone would post that article. Joe said he already had a tough enough schedule without SU on it and mentioned having to play Miami this year 2002. So we didn't forsake them to play Miles. Plus last time I checked Pete isn't the AD. I rather play FAMU or TnState. But I don't make the decisions. I wonder if Miami is worried what folks think about playing a FAMU team that they will destroy. It sure want help the computer ranking. Look at our September. It isn't exactly a cake walk schedule. Tulane, NW LA. State, Pine Bluff, JSU and then Nicholls. So what's your point?

CleB,(PF you can read if you like too)
We are not as bad as Bill Thomas. No one can say SU has scheduled a soft schedule. We added Nicholls who played GSU tough and next year Mc Neese St rolls onto the schedule and hopefully Bill's old school TnState comes on and replaces Tulane in the Big Easy Classic. It's all about money as Mike Bigg said, who you can get to come to your stadium and not have to split the gate.

Miles is Homecoming bait. BTW didn't they scare AAMU last season and the AD there is also a SU alum. I just hope Miles bring their band I 've heard so much about.
 



If Miles can beat PV we they can beat you all also. Remember, we almost beat you.

JR, until you know what is on our team, stop talking. Since we have no great coverage you do not know what is lurking on our team. We're unknown and very few know what we're bringing in, even private forum people because it's public also.
 
Tell that ish to TxSU. We ain't listening. Almost beat SU. Get real. You played the best you could and I give you that. I wonder what would have happened if Levy, Singleton , and Hayes would have all played that day. We don't care what PV has. Until you open your season with a win against TxSU and then follow it up with a win against GSU. SU is never going to pay you any attention. It is going to be so ugly. We are so deep son. It is you that underestimate SU. You just wait and see how bad SU is going to beat yall this year. Have you found us somewhere to play yet? If not get your azz on the phone and find us a stadium to play in Houston.
 
whatever man because...

cake is cake is cake


Miles College = Stillman College

Pete Richardson = Bill Thomas
 
KUDOS TO THE SUpreme TEAM OF THE SWAC

IMHO,

This is a great job of scheduling by the New A.D.

3 Games in the SUper Dome

1 CUSA opponent and 2 SFC

Traditional Rivals gSU & jSU

Are you KIDDING ME!!!!

A loaded JAG SQUAD!!!!!!

LET'S GET CRUNK JAGS!!!!

yes.....SUSSSSSUSUSSSSSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I don't like that our series with FAMU has ended either. Let the coaches wine, that made it more interesting. We are playing Miles to make fat money, which in a totally different reason other schools play teams like that.
 
great scheduling, 3 games on turf and you know what turf does to kids. Lets be honest, your hearts might be broken by the end of the season.

Who is Singleton? I never heard of him. Non-factor. Levy wasn't exactly Mr. QB either, I was not impressed with him. Hell, without hayes a lot of folks looked like crap. With a broken down hayes in the lineup don't expect much early.

The first time someone goes for his legs will he crack?


JR, tell me what the word deep means also. Some of those "deep" kids never seen much action in the SWAC. How can you call the QB position "deep" when Richard has only played 1 full SWAC game? Kurvis Sharpe has not even touched the field but you have the nerve to say you all are deep.

The RB position is loaded with unproven kids. Victor Ike has done only 1 thing at UT and all of a sudden you all are deep there. Deep and abundance of players are two different things.

Joe, the newspaper writer has really pumped your heads up. Please don't lose.
 
PF,
That's because all you are doing is reading. I know what we have. I don't need the advocate to tell me what's going on. Singleton and Bo Jackson are the freshmen who showed that they could play. Mr. Newman shows up this summer after his year of sitting out. Hell Ike may only be a spot player. Just because you don't know who our rbs are don't mean we don't have any. So don't worry we will have a running game. I am not even worried about that. Hell you fools let Leon Miller run for close to 100 yards so why you on here fronting.

Our DL is 8 deep. Remember this name All-Stater and starter Perry Davis#60. He had a good year as a true freshman. Our LBs are 6 deep and the Dbs and WR's are are plentiful. Since you like to read the Advocate you would have seen that. But you are a hater and so be it. I know football way.....better than you and trust me. This team is going to drag your PV azz. We aint never had a good QB according to most of you so this year is no different huh? So that means that SU will be in business. Inside scoop PF. SU still has players coming. This is going to be easy. Just find us a stadium to play in Houston and bring that overated band with you too. You need to worry about finally beating TxSU. All this cosigning with CleB, but I guess you too scared to talk ish about them. Always worrying about SU. And if you think we are so sad, then you shouldn't give us a thought. SMH@PF as usual. Still don't know nothing about football I see.
 
I guess I don't anything about football :rolleyes: Sounds like you don't because you have the nerves to actually say Levy was an impact player. Hell, you even say your deep at a position where there are 3 unproven players, (QB)

Perry Davis, and? I can top that with Ronnie Nunn.

In 2 years, Prairie View will have the most talented WR corps in the SWAC. Mock my words. The kids we have coming in and the kids that are on campus now will impress folks soon. You say you have kids that are coming but trust me, we have kids coming in that are legit,

As for TSU, I seen them last week I am not even worried about them. I know several of their offensive talent won't set foot on the field until the summer.

I hope you do well in football JR, with us running the table in hoops you will never win anything from then on. Baseball is going to get better very soon and football will be next.
 
I think the SU/FAMU series was bit by economics too. I don't know of any other yearly nonconference matchups that require as much travel... Actually suprised it lasted so long

Keep in mind this is IAA football and visiting teams don't receive a hefty guarantee in non Classic games.
