Very cool for Jackson State to get this, GameDay is an incredible event to be able to host. Enjoy it.

Also love seeing the salty P5 fans complaining that GameDay won’t be there to see Penn State get thrashed by Ohio State.

Penn state is such an overrated team this year. 56-10 Ohio state

Firstly, this ^^^^^^^^^^^. Indeed! Go Bucks!

Lastly, Go SWAC! 👏🏿👍🏿💪🏿

This might be cool, I might actually watch GameDay next Saturday

This. The Penn State fans like to think they're relevant for the first half of the season until they're humbled by Ohio State or Michigan.

Ohio State will have GameDay for the Michigan game.

[McNeese75]

Good for Jackson State xdrunkyx

[mvfcfan]

They should have chose a real FCS game like Fordham (6-1) @ Holy Cross (7-0) or Idaho (5-2) @ Sac State (7-0). Jackson State is a paper tiger and nothing more.

Jackson State also has a celebrity as a coach and a far bigger fan base than any of those four teams.

No reason to watch it most weeks. HBCU atmosphere should be great for the otherwise boring program.

I would venture to say that Jackson State has a bigger fan base than those four teams combined.

People know who Deion Sanders is by sight. Quick: can you name the head of coach of Fordham or Holy Cross? How many viewers would?

I can name Holy Cross, Fordham on the tip of my tongue but ultimately escapes me like that millennial who asked me the other day who is that guy on my avatar

[crusader11]

While Holy Cross has some alums at ESPN in decision-making positions, it would be such a mistake and flop to bring Game Day to Fitton Field.

[Panther88]

No one wants to see that LARGE fanbase of 113 people xlolx + 27 cops on a national broadcast, yet alone the 3K fans in the stands.

The SU/JSU game has all of sold out 60K for eons now, hosted in JXN, regardless of the IC foes' records. I understand that you cannot relate to any of it.

Obscurity. xlolx

Agreed but we are talking about ESPN. They pick based off the field first.

LMFAO. Lee Corso and Sanders are tied for career interceptions at FSU. And Weber State made the highlight reel for their awesome special teams play against MSU

That was a hella' notification to send to the G5s et al that we are coming for what is originally ours. We are SWAC! 💪🏿

Thats funny considering they arent even a good FCS team.

[unknown-swac]

Yet the one getting the most attention in fcs right now. It shows how the hate for that oozes through you guys veins lol. They're not even that good! We need to talk about all the fcs teams that weren't good that are now in the G5 or nah? If that mattered as much as people here want to make it seem NDSU would already be fbs.

I lmaooo at these insipid "fcs" humans.

Most are inherently abhorrent. Go look at their "we play grate foosball" attendance #s from this past w/e in NobodyCares, USA. xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx It's hard for them to accept the brutal truth that absolutely no one in america or the ESPN universe cares about their alleged "grate" lol product at the d-1 "fcs" level.

In a rain capped delay ridden Saturday through 2 differing states, SWAC IC games drew 67K, 54K, 19K, and even our little bitty campus stadium was capacity at 15K inside the game and literally another 70K-80K just outside the stadium. Burn.

xlmaox xlmaox xlmaoxIs that how we judge football quality now, the number of drunks in the parking lot? That being said, JSU is a real good football team, I have watched several of their games this year and they "look" like the real deal to me. The rest of the SWAC is dog****, deal with that. Also, that Cambell win by JSU isn't looking too good now considering they got beat by NCAT, who got boat raced by a very average NDSU team by 40. If that puts it in perspective for you

Anyway, great showing in Jackson yesterday for Gameday, first Gameday I have watched since it was in Brookings, SD a couple years back. The quality of that show has gone downhill which is probably another reason I won't watch another one for a while until they go someplace that interests me.

Good for the HBCU schools, they have great history and great fanbases. This doesn’t change the fact that the MEAC/SWAC can’t compete even with middle tier FCS teams. Keep playing in your little bubble down South, we all know those fans wouldn’t be showing up if you played real teams.

Probably because our fanbase has enough common sense to have NO interest in both YOU AND your little bitty puke school(s). Alabama, TOSU, Clemson, et al P5ers are actual real teams. The ret is nothing, or is america lying w/ their support? *crickets*

Man you guys must really suck if you won’t play these supposed “little bitty puke schools”. You guys have a nice thing going with the Celebration Bowl, it makes good money and it lets teams like 6-5 SC State feel important because they won against an overrated Jackson State. Meanwhile FAMU was getting blasted by a SE Louisiana team who wasn’t even in the top tier of the FCS.

Let’s not pretend like you guys are anywhere near the FBS level, let alone at the level of Alabama and Clemson. You guys aren’t even at the level of New Mexico State and UL-Monroe, let alone even mid tier P5 programs like Iowa and Minnesota. We actually compete with those mid tier P5 programs, the SWAC/MEAC don’t.

[ElCid]

We are really talking about two different things: quality of play and GameDay experience. I think the SWAC had great game day experience. And that is something that has declined at most other schools. But that experience and tradition doesn't necessarily translate into higher quality of teams on the field. JSU has a great season going, but nobody should think that they can compete on the field with the more successful conferences. They would be mid tier in most, this year. They might get a first round win in the playoffs, but they'd be toast after that. But we will never know.....

[unknown-swac]

The thing is, you folks are the only ones that care about that and still don't seem to get that. App and JMU aren't the best FBS teams but guess what, they're still better off than being the "best" fcs team. This thread was about gameday, and of course the Karens have to come in with the "but they aren't good" nonsense. Well, tell ESPN that being good matters more than eyeballs.

These ugly people are clueless. As if they or their irrelevant opinion is supposed to hold weight.

The proof is in the pudding: national appeal, national broadcastS plural, decently large fanbases which could give 2 sh7ts or its left testicle what happens in puke, north dakotey or any "fcs" team in that region.

You seriously think any HBCU school even compares to NDSU in national prominence? You think any casual CFB fan even knows about Alcorn State, Prairie View A&M, Texas Southern, etc.? Give me a break. HBCU football is a product of the past, it hasn’t been relevant since the 1960s, and the only relevance it has is because of one coach, and once he’s bolted for the P5 you can kiss all this attention goodbye.

I was happy for Jackson State getting GameDay, hence why I started the thread. It’s a great experience, and I know that personally because GameDay came to my middle of nowhere school in Brookings, SD. They’ve also been to Fargo twice. How many times have they been to an HBCU in that same time span?

I spend a lot of time in TX. I am constantly engaged in conversation on our great brand of football. Not once have we ever been lumped in conversation about the swac.

Folks, homerism is cool but don't be foolish. And if being tops in FCS is so great, why exactly are you guys moving to CUSA?

You can be amused all you choose. But at the end of the day it was the SWAC and the MEAC that got the first FCS bowl game that they actually make money off of. Vs, having to actually pay and lose money to play in the FCS playoffs. Perhaps that's why all of the decent teams are trying to leave. Amusing is when people come in with the "but we're so much better" on a GAMEDAY topic. It makes you seem even more small fry than you already are. NDSU wanted in CUSA, Delaware wants to leave, Missouri State wants to leave and i'm sure there are plenty of others. JMU would've been gone 5 years ago if they could've gotten into the AAC. It was you goofy bison fans that think you're Alabama that came in here with the "but er mah gawd, there could've been so much better choices" nonsense. I'm sure you guys are big time up there, but in the south, no one cares chief.

You can be amused all you choose. But at the end of the day it was the SWAC and the MEAC that got the first FCS bowl game that they actually make money off of. Vs, having to actually pay and lose money to play in the FCS playoffs. Perhaps that's why all of the decent teams are trying to leave.

NDSU didn’t want into the C-USA, that was just some angry Bison fans on Bisonville who are desperate to move up. NDSU won’t move up unless the MWC comes calling. JMU didn’t move up in the past when offered by the C-USA and old SBC, they waited until a much better offer came along, which is the new SBC. The AAC was never going to pull from the FCS, considering they viewed themselves as part of the “P6”.

You’re right nobody cares about NDSU in the South, same as how nobody cares about the HBCUs outside of the South. Nobody in the Northeast, the Midwest, the Mountain West, the Southwest, or the West Coast cares about HBCU football. They only care about Deion Sanders. NC A&T won like four Celebration Bowls in a five year span and got about as much press coverage as Mankato State did for a D2 runner up in 2019. Once Deion bolts for the P5, you’ll see how popular HBCU football actually is.

That still doesn’t even match what GameDay got when it went to Kansas earlier this year.

2.3 million average viewers
2.98 million final hour viewers
3.5 million viewers at its peak

Judging by the ratings numbers week by week, Jackson State had the lowest ratings of the season. Kansas had the best.

Going head-to-head vs (a) P5 schools in notoriety and viewership makes the deal even better. Comparative vs "rock chalk" "chalk rock," whatever that tomfoolery is, in flatland, usa is a good thing.

While here, stick around and compare the viewership of that specific gameday vs combined round #1 games located in NobodyCares, __ ( <--- insert your puke state name there)

[unknown-swac]

SO we're matching fbs teams now lol. What does have to do with FCS? Folks looking for any reason to slight them, mostly NDSU folks. How were those ratings compared to NDSU's gameday though? I already know, btw.

[JacksFan40]

Because you were trying to act like the GameDay numbers for Jackson were somehow impressive, they’re not. They pale in comparison to literally any other GameDay. I couldn’t find the numbers for either SDSU or NDSU when GameDay went there, but I’d reckon it’s about on par with Jackson State’s numbers.

GameDay came to my puke state school in 2019, and not because of our coach but because they actually were interested in our program and wanted to highlight the biggest game of the FCS season up to that point. They have also went to that puke state school in Fargo, twice to be exact. As well as JMU when they were FCS back in like 2014 or 2015. Quit acting like people care about HBCU football, they don’t, they only care about Deion. Nobody batted an eye during NC A&Ts Celebration Bowl dominance from 2015-2020. It got about as much attention as Mankato State did when they got D2 runner up in 2019. I’d also bet Mankato could beat half of the MEAC/SWAC teams as well.

[JacksFan40]

No, actually they weren't lol. But hey, you got 7 championships and are the cream of the crop!
Show me the numbers because all I can find from 2019 is when the Gophers hosted GameDay and had great numbers. Show me the SDSU/NDSU numbers and compare them to the other GameDays in the same year.

[POD Knows]

No, actually they weren't lol. But hey, you got 7 championships and are the cream of the crop!It is 9 and NDSU would beat every team in the SWAC or MEAC like a dog. And don't give the Jacks any championships, they don't have any yet.

[putter]

I remember Mississippi Valley coming to Missoula and their fans were great. They hoped to have a home and home so we could travel down there, which would be an amazing trip to be a part of. I agree, the culture of the SWAC and MEAC are their own with the bands and history. For me it is disappointing we don't have more games with them. Let's be honest, GameDay was about Prime with the JSU atmosphere being secondary, but it is still a feather in the JSU cap to have them go to Jackson. Our conference is beginning to look stupid at how they are pandering to ESPN to get Gameday to come to a Big Sky school.

As near as I can tell, NDSU is 6-0 against the SWAC and MEAC (excluding NCAT as they moved up) and the combined scores are 327 to 30. Zero interest in scheduling any games with them, much less a H&H. I don't think the games would be as lopsided as the 4 we had played but pretty close I am afraid.

The Fargodome had to loan headset equipment the Mississippi Valley State when they came to play in Fargo. I remember hearing stories about Delaware State players ****ing around in the Holiday Inn pool area till after bar close and their coaches were downtown after hours as well the night before the game. xlolx Totally came ready to play.

Which is six more than ALL of the SWAC and MEAC combined, with the only championship belonging to FAMU in 1978 (when only four teams participated in the playoffs) and a total of ZERO other championship game appearances..

[putter]

When Stephen F Austin came to Missoula for an opening round playoff game, there were a lot of pictures of their team at local bars drinking and having shots. They had the #1 scoring offense in the nation that year and got beat 51-0

[Sader87]

Do it like the Little League World Series

Winner of the Celebration Bowl plays a slimmed down to 16 team FCS playoff winner for the National Championship

LLWS has an International Champion that plays the U.S. championship but I realize the international name doesn’t work, just have to change it to something that does

North Dakota State versus Jackson state is just too delicious not to happen. Sanders would sign up if the price was right... right?

Apparently America didn’t care about JSU either because they gave GameDay its lowest ratings of an otherwise record breaking season. Nobody cares about those puke schools in the SWAC/MEAC that haven’t been relevant since the 1960s.

Its funny as well because Holy Cross and Fordham got on Dan Patrick’s show because of the quality of football, JSU only gets attention because of Sanders. God knows it isn’t because of the mid tier D2 caliber football game that was JSU-Southern.

You mean a streaming service like ESPN+? Because SDSU has 7 games on ESPN+ alongside of one on ESPN3 and one on FS1. Assuming we don’t choke in the playoffs we’ll get more national broadcast games. Judging by the HBCU schools, looks like they struggle to even get on ESPN+. So much for being popular.

Even counting the games featuring two SWAC teams, it comes out to an average of about four broadcasts per school. That's less than half of what SDSU has. Only Coach Prime comes close to the same number noted by JacksFan40.
