This weekend's game between Alabama State and Alabama A&M has gotten very important for several reasons.

1. With a win ASU would jump right back into the Eastern division race.

2. ASU has not beaten either Tuskegee or AAMU on a regular basis since the mid 1990s.

3. Coach Barlow's job could be lost on Saturday with a loss.

Fact is AAMU and Tuskegee are making our fan base envy them. Tuskegee has one of the longest winning streaks in the country and they're anually ramked in the top 10 in d-2. Plus they've beaten us 8 out of the last 10 years. AAMU has one more games in the last 8 season then they have ever done in an 8 year span. They've beaten us 5 in a row and 6 out of the last 7. The won the SWAC title back in 2006 and the compete for title yearly, we havent don that since 04. I think we need to chill out a bit and give Coach Barlow some time, but these folks down here wanna win "already ago" as my grandmother says.

Why are they not playing on Thanksgiving Day/Weekend. I thought that was tradition.

Alabama State plays rival Tuskegee Golden Tigers (owner of the nation's longest winning streak) on Thanksgiving day in the Turkey Day Classic.
