We all wanted this match-up last year, but according to some of the MEAC peeps it will go down this year! I havent heard anything from the GSU folks yet. Does anyone know anything about it? xcoffeex

Who cares. Pit these teams against any other good I-AA program and it is a smoke show. Perfect example Hampton getting nailed by Richmond in the first round of the playoffs after going 10-0.

I know that this is what a lot of people wanted, but honestly, you would not get a good turnout from the MEAC side. I would say Hampton's fans would be less than when they played SU in the Heritage Bowl. : flamemad They just don't travel like the rest of us(SCSU, B-CC, FAMU, NC A&T).

But hey, these are only my opinions from what I've seen of them since 1997. But who knows, they might surpriseme. Then again, I won't be there, I will be in J'ville for B-CC/SU....since our 1st week of football is an open date. :bang:

Against Gram, first game of the season in the 'Ham, we'll travel, unless there is another natural disaster (like the last two years with JSU). Against anyone else during December- we ain't travelling. I wish we would follow the team better, but we don't.

I honestly feel that it will be a good game, not saying a close one throughout, but nevertheless a good one. I can see both teams scoring in bunches, but Grambling will have the edge unless B-CC's WR's as well as secondary have improved from the past 2 seasons.

But to answer your question Grambling by 18. :read:

should be a good game if it happens. What is the outlook (returning starters, etc.)for both this teams next season.
