Nice news.....two more gigs for Jay Walker....(have to admit his enthusiasm is at the top)

Jay Walker is almost never on First Take plus the Southern Heritage Classic game itself is televised by Fox Sports, so I don't get the Jay Walker reference on this one!

The Deion Sanders effect at Jackson State will continue to benefit the HBCU family (and to a lesser extent FCS in general).

Good on ESPN for recognizing that college football isn't all about the SEC.

"We" know precisely why and the impetus for bringing Jay's name into the convo. xreadx

Aside: did you see FAM's upgraded football locker room?

Yep. The locker room upgrades and the upgrades to Bragg are very nice. Can't wait to see the stadium once they're done.

Neat how they are upgrading sections of the stadium at specific intervals. Takes a lot of juggling and maneuvering. Kudos to their leadership.

This is a good move, but the game should definitely be broadcast and not tape delayed. I would think if they have a few JSU games in mind to broadcast, the one with Eddie George on the other sideline would be one of them.

Don't count it out, especially if both teams are having success leading up to that game.

I guess we will see. Prime has been such a big story. You would think he and Eddie together would be one.
