My favorite part about the Juco's in MS is the nicknames like Scooba Tech. One time I messed up and told a non-Mississippian that I went to Tiger Tech and they looked at me like I was crazy. I said just wait until you hear about our biggest rival, Wampus Tech.After Scooba Tech whips them Iowans that will be I think the 16th juco championship for the state of Mississippi
For whatever reason Scooba was not ready to play that game. Last week EMCC beat Hutch at home who smoked Iowa Western there just last month.Juco national championship on espnU at 7
I don't believe there was a talent gap based on the one common opponent (Hutch) whom EMCC beat last week and Iowa lost to by 18 in Nov.27-7 at the half Iowa western is on a different level
Southwest Mississippi Community College in Summit (Pike County), Mississippi. “Pike Tech” is what we call it down here.My favorite part about the Juco's in MS is the nicknames like Scooba Tech.

Good Lord! Scooba got beat down well that sucks!!61-14 final…
I seem to remember hearing at one time that Mississippi has the largest JUCO system per capita in the USThere are only 65 JUCO’s in the country that play football, and 38 of them are in California. Mississippi has 14. There are no other football playing JUCO’s in the Southeast other than one in Georgia and one in Florida.
Crazy that the poorest state in the nation would contribute more 20% of the nation's JC football programs. I don't think we as taxpayers are getting much return on this investment.I used to think MS should just lean into JUCO football because that's about the only football we could win at. But when you consider MS has 14 JUCOs, and the whole country has about 80 or so, it makes sense that we'd win some. So maybe it's not that big of a deal.
