Jackson State University, Mississippi's only comprehensive university, was the place for me. I had my pick of east coast schools and offers of scholarships if I majored in engineering (WTF). I always knew I wanted to attend an HBCU because I figured I would be in a majority white work environment. When Jackson State offered the academic scholarships for its new Mass Communications program, I jumped at the chance.

:) I'm SO glad, I went to JSU!

Oops, my bad! I'm still getting used to the names over here. I'll do better.

Who is your cousin and when was she on The Yard? I left ages ago and hardly ever get to Jackson during the school year.

I totally agree about the SWAC. I definitely miss those games. There is something magical about HBCU football. Sigh. :(

I just love SWAC Smack:D

Don't act crazy! You know about the BAYOU CLASSIC!!! It's what you all in 'sippy try to duplicate for Labor Day weekend....JUST TRASH!

It's the CLASSIC that EVERYONE tries to duplicate! You know it was the idea of the visionary Eddie Robinson of GRAMBLING STATE! If it wasn't for the Bayou Classic, SU wouldn't be recognized NOR BLACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL!

YA'LL BETTER GET YOUR BLACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL HISTORY BOOKS OUT! This history was written by BLACK folks... there aren't any lies there!

Say what?
 

Okay ... help me out because I left in 1985 ... I'm not aware of any JSU tradition around Labor Day. I know JSU plays Hampton in Orlando this year, but as far as I know this is the first time.

These classics were not as en vogue when I was in school as they are now. Aside from the Bayou and Florida classics, I don't recall anything along that line. The other games were HUGE campus rivalries.

I dislike the idea that many HBCUs move their games to (mostly) Midwest and Northeast cities and call them classics. Maybe the universities need the cash. As long as the fans travel and the teams get paid this trend will continue.

When did the SU/GSU game move to the Super Dome? I don't remember them playing in Nawlins when I was in college.

Anyway, don't hate that other schools are on the gravy train. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Amen to that:D

Re: Say what?
 

If it's not you all it's Tex Sou.... One of the 2 schools has the Labor Day Classic. It could be a PVU and TSU. I know Gram plays Alcorn LD weekend, so that could be incorrect.

I don't know where you were in college, but the BC began 30 years ago! In 1985, I was at SU Lab and I KNOW that game was played in the dome...lmao! Even before then as a child, we'd make our way to the NO for the game...lmao! However, the schoos have been playing each other for over 50+ years! LMAO Prior to that, it was called the Grambling/Southern game and it was handled as any other game where it was held in Grambling one year and Southern the next...

Who's hating? If it's not LA... I don't recognize it! They simply cannot compare/compete! :p

Re: Re: Say what?
 

My point is that I don't remember BC being as big a deal (outside of SU/GSU fans) when I was in college in the late 1970s/early 1980s. I believe the game at one point was played at Tulane, but I don't remember when it went to the Super Dome. It definitely did not have State Farm as a sponor.

SWAC rivalries have existed for decades. I can appreciate all of them. But for me none compare to JSU/ASU, whether it is called a classic or a regular end-of-season matchup.

Continue to support the BC. We'll see if your Louisiana schools will be worthy this year. I think I hear those 'skeeters buzzing again.

:D

Re: Re: Re: Say what?
 

Amen! Now back to the jonin'(whew hadn't used that word in a long time,lol)........Alcorn WILL chop some JSU head!!!!

Re: Re: Re: Say what?
 

I'd expect you to say that... :D You can't relate to what you are not accustomed too..


Worth? Ummmm who has won the SWAC championship lately? UMMMMM LOUISIANA schools. If not us, then 'BAMA...sooooo what are YOU talking about? You all haven't even been to the BIG dance in YEARS!!!! LMAO!

Let's not talk about Black Collegiate Championships.... LMAO!!! :o

SDWTTANS! :cool: :rolleyes: I have a better time clownin' SU peeps...AT LEAST THEY ARE COMPETITION! :p

National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week, 2006
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

Education is the cornerstone of a prosperous and hopeful Nation. By
providing a quality education, Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) help students achieve their dreams and realize
the promise of America. During National Historically Black Colleges
and Universities Week, we recognize the significant contributions of
HBCUs and underscore our commitment to helping these distinguished
institutions in the pursuit of educational excellence.

Our Nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities are places
of higher learning and achievement that prepare new generations of
Americans to become responsible leaders in their communities and
around the world. HBCUs enable students to gain the skills necessary
to compete for the jobs of the 21st century.

My Administration is dedicated to ensuring the continued success of
HBCUs and securing the constitutional guarantees of liberty and
equality to all Americans. The President's Board of Advisors on
Historically Black Colleges and Universities has worked to help these
institutions benefit from Federal programs, obtain private-sector
support for their endowments, and build partnerships to strengthen
faculty development and cooperative research. In addition, the HBCU
Capital Financing Program provides HBCUs with access to funds for the
repair, renovation, and construction of educational resources and
facilities.

During National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week, we
celebrate the enduring importance of HBCUs, and resolve to continue
to support their critical mission.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution
and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 10
through September 16, 2006, as National Historically Black Colleges
and Universities Week. I call upon public officials, educators,
librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this
week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities in
recognition of the vital contributions of HBCUs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of
September, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH
