GET A REAL PROMOTER!!!!!  GET REAL SPONSORS.....

The CCC had SouthWest Airlines!!!!!!!!!!  What happened to that?????!!!!!!!

 

Both schools need to research and see how these classic are STILL SURVIVING....Get MONEY and GETTING attendance///

 

If the game is moved to Alcorn...You think know one was coming to the games now......NO ONE will come to Alcorn.  As stated....The travel back....Police in Port Gibson waiting for you to go over 25 miles after hour AFTER the game.  No where to get gas, except Vicksburg or eating places.

 

Lets face it......Alcorn I love you.  But you CAN NOT handle the crowd from Southern University when they TAKE over your campus.

  • dont forget about the State Fair Classic sponsored by Southwest Airlines between Prairie View and Grambling...the biggest HBCU game in Texas and one of the biggest in the SWAC.
    • Sorry......I was putting down a few I have personally attended...Bayou, Magic City, Southern Heritage..

       

  • I've been to Alcorn and I still have no idea how they will be able to hold JSU's crowd.  Parking will be horrible.
    • Man I was actually considering going to the CCC as an alumni. If they start alternating venues, I definitely won't waste my time or money with that game.
      • well, we have that game in jackson this year. So u can still go
    • This reply was deleted.
      • And you guys only travel to ONE game which is the CCC.  Since we keeping it 100.

         

        And since we keeping it 100, how many winning seasons have we had?  Heyal, even in 2006 JSU fans traveled deep.

  • Alcorn shouldnt be playing their rival every year away. Alcorn has the right idea...
