Jackson. Never thought that would happen.
College Gameday is going to
- Thread starter PearlRiverCoDawg
- Start date
Hope they remove all their valuables, and leave the doors unlocked in the parking lot. Otherwise they’re going to be replacing some windows.
Time to showcase Jackson, MS for the country to see***
In all seriousness, it is awesome to see what Dion has done and the excitement he’s been able to build

Is the crime that bad in the Veteran's Stadium area? Isn't JSU a relatively safe campus? I know Jackson's overall crime rate is horrific but I was thinking the bad areas were in other parts of Jackson but I haven't lived there in 30 years either. I'm happy for JSU and Jackson on this historic announcement and hoping it is pulled off with smashing success with good National Pub.

I'd hit it.
JSU and Coach Prime are doing what State, Ole Miss and USM couldn’t do, sell out Memorial Stadium on a regular basis.
As someone that loves Jackson, and again stepping out of character, can’t we all be happy for the city to finally have something good to happen for it? I get that it is easy to bash Jackson but in this case I say bravo to Coach Prime and the city for this bright spot in all the dark ones. I know there will be some smart *** tell me all about the problems of the city or how they hate it because of crime or whatever else, so go ahead.
Didn’t a Clarion Ledger sports writer catch a bullet with his SUV just outside of JSU’s campus?
It is great for the school, the SWAC, HBCUs, the city and the state. Not to mention it further puts the spotlight on Coach Prime’s brand. It should certainly be celebrated.

That’s awesome. Should be good for the State.
I don't really care about Prime's brand. I AM happy for Jackson. Hope it spurs some good things.
JSU's campus is safe especially considering the area that surrounds it. Their security department apparently does a pretty good job.
It’s amazing how a simple statement of facts causes so much vaginal discomfort.
Capacity - 64K
2022 JSU avg home attendance - 38.6K
JSU sell outs in the Prime Time Era - 0
Capacity of Memorial Stadium is just over 60k. While they haven’t completely sold out they have had 53k plus for the last games. Which is more than State. 57k for Ark is our largest attendance so far. They’re doing good
They have had at least one sell out since Prime has been there not disputing the average.
Thigpen: Sold-out JSU rivalry weekend represents $5.1 million impact to Capital City
While Jackson State University’s ten-win season translated into intense demand Monday for SWAC championship tickets, the economic impact from the weekend’s Jackson State-Alcorn State rivalry game equated to more than $5 million from a record crowd, according to the head of the city’s convention...

Quote from the article “ESPN reported Saturday’s game attendance at 62,512, representing the largest home crowd ever at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium for a Jackson State game, and ties with two other JSU/ASU matchups from 1996 and 1994”.
Not against it, just don’t care. It’s about as relevant as what Alcorn State or Southern Miss is doing. Good for them
There is some serious hate going on in this thread.
If your response to JSU hosting Gameday is anything happiness for them and the city, you may want to reevaluate some things.
I think it’s awesome. Great for the state and city.
I'd hate if it were oxfart or Harrisburg but im glad for Jacktown. Prime Time.
The only time I’ve ever followed the swac is for basketball a little bit. Walter Payton is probably my all time favorite player.
Watched him at Soldiers Field
ive never seen a player with that kind of heart. Good look trying to tackle that guy.
But this is funny

My suggestion for guest picker - politics aside - Barrack Obama.
What are the odds that ESPN flashes a clip of a 1960’s Rebel game in Memorial Stadium , crowd waving thousands of flags that were thrown into the stands by the cheerleaders? Then Wright Thompson will have his part talking about bourbon, and cotton fields, and how Walter Payton was his second favorite player behind Archie.
AND WE HAVE PEEPLES IN THIS CHATROOM WHO FAIL TO SEE THE MARQUEE VALYOO OF COACH PRIME
