Better get an early jump on those hotels. SU/GSU fans usually start booking hotels in August or September but with the announcement of the Saints/Falcons game many went and booked now so they wouldn't risk not getting a room that weekend.

I fully expect this series to be extended after the first game in Tally-Ho. The rivalry is too big and there's too much money to be made on this one.

Grambling may need to schedule another game- NAIA Bacome is closing.

Exactly!
Re: SWAC/MEAC/HBCU 2018 Offseason Thread
Did they choose to play them or did someone else cancel at the last minute and this is all they could find?

A "G'er" told me that they couldn't agree on the $$$$ (contract for packaged deal) terms. Hence GSU's leaving the negotiations and PVAMU ultimately caved in and signed.

Grambling can't agree to terms with most people. Those folks have a false sense of importance over in Northern Louisiana.
Re: SWAC/MEAC/HBCU 2018 Offseason Thread
Exactly. I knew this already , that's why i said it's DUMB.

Grambling State University has something not too many FCS'ers have: an actual brand with importance. Cannot deny that.

Grambling has name recognition but they're not even a top 10 HBCU fan base. They don't show up anywhere outside of New Orleans.

Cannot argue w/ you there as the last 40 or so years has shown that their draw has negatively plummeted, especially when the first ever losing trend started w/ their brand. That overall legacy though... When the "G" comes to town, there are still quite a few who are interested in that national brand, which rivals even quite a few large D-I FBSers in notoriety.
