See the young lady in the 1st photo against the wall? That's my aunt. She was only 14 when she was blasted with a fire hose. The hose was so powerful that it literally removed the skin from her back. She lived the scars from the hose her entire life after that.
Recruits: Please pay attention at how fans are reacting to the Travis Hunter news. You see that these folks only want your talent, your humanity means not a damn thing to them. Stop allowing yourself to be played.
Auburn had a football Coach who's now a Senator who's as MAGA as they come, they have a current basketball coach that thinks that Candice Owens is fuggin Aristotle and you think these are the people who would hire Deion Sanders? Ha!π€£π€£π€£π€£
5 days ago this young man graduated from DeSoto High School and was on his way to Jackson State to continue his education and play football. It's an absolute tragedy that his life was cut short due to senseless violence.π’π’π’
Medgar Evers was killed on this day in 1963. Before becoming a Civil Rights Icon he was a star football player at Alcorn A&M now Alcorn State University.
Alabama A&M concludes their thrilling halftime show with a tribute to Kamille "Cupcake"Β McKinney, a 3 year old who was senseless taken away from us too soon!

This is EXACTLY why we scream for police reform! The sheriff is being cozy with terrorists who not only stormed the Capitol building but planned to kidnap the governor and kill law enforcement.
Folks love MESS. The situation yesterday after the Bama State/JSU game caused record breaking amounts of people requesting get into SWAC groups last night. But when money was being collected to get water for JSU students or hurricane relief for BCU folks were no where to be found
A piece of history passed down from my grandmother. My job is to make sure it stays in the family and that my children understand the significance of this.
You wanna know what separates the SWAC from other conferences? The PASSION! These are all pics from Alcorn State University taken around 3 am this morning and 4pm yesterday as they prepare for the Annual Soul Bowl against Jackson State.
In 2007 The NFL Combine was introduced to "The Hampton 5". The 5 combine invites is still is the most for any non FBS school and that year Hampton sent more players to the combine that the majority of power 5 schools, including schools like Alabama, Southern Cal, and others.
Hey
@espn
can you please do a better job of assigning color guys and commentators to HBCU games. At least assign guys who know the conferences that they're covering. We're tired of having guys that don't know rosters, schedules, or just basic knowledge.
Aye
@gilliedakid
just asking for the culture but are you still repping J-State next year or are you taking your talents to Boulder? Just wanna know is it for the culture or for the clout?π€

Ed Reed had no idea what he was doing and was going to have to learn on the job, but Reggie Theus also has zero clue what he's doing as an athletic director and when ADs learn on the job the University often times suffer.

1. He's right. Folks need to learn to support TSU and not just the "socially important" games.
2. The Consumer will tell you what they want. And for 30 years TSUs largest games have been their HBCU games. The administration has decided not to listen to it's consumer.
This was a blatant lie that folks will run and regurgitate because she said it. There was 1 murder on J-State's campus during Deion's tenure and that was in November of 22. No the locker rooms were not getting broken into either. Pushing BS as facts should result in lawsuits.
@DeiondraSanders
why would you blatantly lie and say there are killings on campus every few months. Maybe a clarification and statement? I can post about 10 PWI campus shootings to JSUβs one. Please stop

Head Coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough. He holds a 143-80 overall record and a 109β38 conference record as head coach. He has won 3 HBCU National titles, 8 MEAC titles, and 6 top 25 finishes as head coach.
Jackson State deserves a stadium and should've been had one! I hate how the state not only treats Jackson State but Alcorn State and Mississippi Valley as well
On November 5, 1984 ,63,808 fans crammed into the 62,000-seat Veterans Memorial Stadium to watch the battle of unbeaten teams Alcorn State and Mississippi Valley State. The Delta Devils led by Willie Totten and Jerry Rice defeated the Braves 42-28.

and the D1 or nothing mentality is harming a lot of these kids. Getting your school paid for, playing the game you love, and an opportunity to further your academic and athletic career is everything. No matter the level of the school.
Remember this name......Kendall Catalon of Southern University! Made big play after big play as a freshman now he looks to do bigger and better things as a sophomore.
Let me explain something to you guys. The SEC has had 5 black head coaches in its ENTIRE football history and 2 of the 5 were at Vanderbilt. It might be a long ass time before we see black coach number 6 and it has nothing to do with coaching ability either
You know who frustrate the hell of me? Folks that complain about their HBCU playing money games but in the same breath complain about homecoming game ticket prices. Mofos will spend $200 dollars at the club after party but will bitch about spending 30 bucks for a game ticket!
