I am all for playing JSU again...

it was a fun day in Starkville. Their fans were fun, the Boom was fun, and it's an easy win with a full stadium.

I don't understand all the fuss about the Boom. I thought they were pretty average. Sure they're different than most other bands we see but I wasn't impressed with the quality of their musicianship or showmanship. And it bothered me that in the second half they kept playing after the snap on multiple occasions.<span style="margin-left: -51px; margin-top: -57px; opacity: 0.25;" class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble smarterwiki-popup-bubble-active"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-body"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-]

With all that being said, I agree with your other points and I wouldn't mind having them back. I could deal with the Boom again.

the best I've seen JSU's band play. I have seen them four times or so now. The other four times they did the exact same show. This time it was a different show, and they sounded better to me this time.

I had heard that they have a new band director, so that probably explains it.

Oh, and by the way, if the band is playing during a play, their football team can be penalized. Those jackasses called everything except that.

I was wondering about that. I noticed that they struck the band up every time during our extra points.</p>

It was a good time. I'd make the trip down if we played them again.

with Valley and Alcorn.

to get the crowd we had Saturday.

Maybe play JSU once every 3 years.

I think we need an 8-year rotation where we would play a non-state I-AA team in even numbered years, then in the odd years rotate JSU, Alcorn, JSU, MVSU.

 

[MSUCostanza]

I would not mind playing JSU every year. Several advantages...

1. Likely will give us a full house. Like you said, the other in-state SWAC schools will not travel like that.
2. They will never, ever beat us. Ever. I don't care how bad we are.
3. Good PR, obviously.

They draw more than Gardner-Webb, Southeastern Louisiana, Murray State, and of course Maine-- to name some recent FCS schools MSU's played.

They helped USM fill up their stadium Saturday. Yes, I know their stadium isn't as big as DWS, but USM doesn't normally come close to filling it either.

 

[bonedaddy401]

The JSU fans seemed to enjoy the trip as much as us State fans did. Easy payday and "big" game for JSU and an easy win.

 

[lawdawg02]

than starkville would be. but i agree with you and the others - they would bring enough fans to help and certainly would bring more than sela and maine.

..seasoning that the JSU tailgate was using to cook the incredible ribs and steaks I ate, please let me know.

..it was a seasoning. But I figure it's the same guy. Cause how many people are into the seasoning/sauce business in Louise??

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

and I don't think our band ever is. I thought their marching was actually pretty bad. When their drum corp came out in a line, it looked more like a wave than a line. So, technically, you might be right -- the Boom might not be very good. But, they are entertaining. Our band bores the hell out of me.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Would be playing our fellow Land Grant Institution.

I would see no difference between playing Southern U any other out-of-state 1-AA squad.
