You guy are cool with not EVER being able to win a NATL CHAMPIONSHIP? You will never ever have a chance... And you're fine with that?

I'm fine with the product we have not making an ass out of themselves. Until the product improves no team would even stand a chance in a play in game.

The only way the SWAC will improve as a conference, is a stronger financial foundation as stated before a conference is only as strong as its weakest link.

The CAA has Townson. The CAA is strong.

How long the CAA has anyone is highly debatable right now.

True, but when all the links are equally weak that chain has no chance of being strong. Hiring inept coaches doesn't help, especially when you consider Southern had major facility improvements just 2 years ago.

*Cough* Stump Mitchell lol hey what did you think of Tx.Southern's, hiring of ex-JSU off-coordinator Darrell Asberry I felt, he should have been awarded the head job over James Bell ,they wouldn't have skipped a beat.Everywhere he's gone the team has improved he turn CIAA doormat Shaw into a respectable team.

What type of improvements did SU have he only school, I remember having improvements was Grambling and that was for a new b-ball stadium and Doug was practically begging, for a new weight lifting facility before he left.

Southern built a new fieldhouse in the North endzone (which also added extra seating). They also totally revamped the basketball arena.

Asberry was a finalist for the Southern job, kind of wished he got it. He's local, played football at Southern Lab. I think he'll do well there.

Me too now that you mentioned it footballs would have been flying all over the place right and the WR core would be much further along in its development namely William Waddell and Javon Jordan two guys with NFL potential.Asberry in my opinion is the second coming of ex-SWAC legend Archie" The Gunslinger"Cooley.

When I look at the SWAC, overall, I see incompetence, half-assery, & although some stadiums may be large.. they aren't tailored to the team/program. I also notice strange uniforms in the swac.. Start going with some more traditional unis & build some fcs lever/styled stadiums. For some of you that means a smaller, more realistic stadium. And some a bigger college like stadium.

Participating in the playoffs would be nice but, the Turkey Day Classic, and Bayou Classic are the same weekend. The three SWAC schools involved have no interest in moving these games.

I agree with you on the uniforms especially Alabama St those uniforms are beyond horrible and you can add Grambling to the list as well.Which schools have stadiums that need renovations in your opinion?

Those are big payday games for Alabama St,Grambling and Southern.

Another problem with the HBCU's is that ppl never mention the game and its matchups as much as they discuss the halftime shows.

That is more of a sterotype it really isn't true

Unfortunately there maybe some validity to that.I try to regulary attend the Whitney M.Young Classic held every year in my home state NJ and most of the ppl who attended talk more about the halftime shows than the actual game itself.I attend this game to see who has the talent to play on sunday's in the NFL.

To a person living in NJ an HBCU halftime show is probably really exciting they probably don't see shows like that often. People who don't see them on a regular basis will get excited but, people who see them 5 to 11 times a season year after year don't get to excited.
Example: A person who was born a raised in Paris doesn't get excited about seeing the Eiffel, how ever if I got to see it I would be snapping pictures from every angle I could and come back home telling i got to see the Eiffel tower.

Yes but when pro scouts come calling they aren't there to look at cheerleaders.

Alabama A&M needs a new logo and a solution to the large gap from field to stands. (idk if this is THEIR stadium)
Alabama State needs their own stadium, or a D1 quality pressbox and field paint
Alcorn State needs a symmetrical look and a D1 quality pressbox
Ark Pine Bluff needs pics of their stadium (no fan/school pride?)
Grambling St needs more pics (fan pride?) But it looks ok
Jackson St needs a new logo BADLY and their OWN stadium
Miss Valley State has no stadium pics (I seriously question SWAC schools & so called fans) & they need new logo design
Prairie View has a 100% portable/temp stadium. And the logo is fxcking disgusting! and my good friend went there.
Southern has the best swac logo and stadium but the Swac needs to hire field crew or get turf
Texas Southern needs a new logo badly and again not many pics to judge but it seems ok.


+The Swac shouldnt be considered FCS
+I have a friend that went to Grambling st and he mention the city of Grambling was dirty and dangerous
+Swac fans need to take more PRIDE in their team and FORCE new facilities, logs & uniforms. (Alum Assoc/Boosters)
+swac fans shd post pics of your team/stadium. 30 thousand fans at the X-classic but only ~5 Swac fans at FCSFANS?

The swac bands may be great but the football situation is embarrassing. Those logos say it all. Please step it up.

[BlackFalkin]

1 more thing. Ever play NCAA Football on playstation or xbox by yourself and you think your great UNTILL you play online and your forced to step your game up to compete. The Swac needs to reconfigure the CLASSIC games as regular season type games and compete in the real FCS or GTFOH.
