March 16, 2022 14:40 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBWhen team's lose in their conference championship, they miss on a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament, but does that mean their season is over? No, there are still ways to play meaningful basketball such as the NIT. We look at what the conference championship runner ups have to look forward to after the tournament.

NCAA Tournament Play In Games Should Be Abolished, Jackson State WBB Dominates Their Way to 14 Seed
March 15, 2022 15:55 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MBI hate play in games in the NCAA Tournament, but I especially hate teams with automatic bids have to play in them. Texas Southern and Howard have to play in them in the 2022 tournament. What's the point of saying automatic if it isn't really automatic? There's a chance you won't make it. "Automatic" & "play in" are direct contradictions. Howard was absolutely dominant in the women's MEAC tournament. In each game, they were able to score in different ways. One game it was Destiny Howell; in ...

March 14, 2022 14:51 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBTexas Southern makes it to the NCAA tournament and win the SWAC championship behind a multitude of scorers. The amount of scorers who can be relied on has been a calling card for this season, and it showed today, with 5 players in double digits. They also won the war of attrition. Norfolk State struggled in the first half vs Coppin State with turnovers and poor shooting. That all dissipated in the 2nd half. NSU was able to cut turnovers in half and shoot much better.

March 10, 2022 11:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBTennessee State was offered a spot in the SWAC, but I don’t think they fit. Tenn St has aspirations of making it to the FBS ranks. The SWAC isn’t the best place to help them. Also the SWAC shouldn’t want to be used as a springboard. Our top 10 Thursday’s continue as we are on player #8. Gerald Huggins breaks down what makes Al Young so special. Young was the top corner on one of the top defenses in the country. He deserves to be in the conversation of the best HBCU corner coming out this y...

March 09, 2022 16:38 - 28 minutes - 26.8 MBEddie George has expressed his interest in Tennessee State leaving the Ohio Valley Conference. After hearing that, the SWAC reached out to Tennessee State to join the conference. This would be a major move in the HBCU landscape and would require the SWAC to add another team along with Tennessee State. Has the addition of FAMU & Bethune Cookman strengthened the bottom of the SWAC tournament? We look back at previous years and compare it to this season. Then we take a look at the top of SWAC...

March 07, 2022 19:09 - 29 minutes - 27 MBJa'Tyre Carter, Joshua Williams, Markquese Bell, and Decobie Durant all participated at the NFL Combine. Each player showed something that I believe helped their stock. We break down each of their performances and where they were best.

In the latest chapter of the Benedict College v Savannah State Rivalry, BC came out on top. This time the SIAC championship was up for grabs. The endi...

March 04, 2022 20:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBWith Art Briles resigning earlier this week, Grambling State is left without an offensive coordinator at the start of spring practice. This is a major vacancy that could become less major if Hue Jackson takes over playcalling duties. He has the history as an offensive coordinator and developing QBs. The team has to start installing offense, and this may be the best choice for this season. Southern's men's basketball team looked poised to be the top seed in the SWAC tournament. Then they los...

Gerald Huggins of Draft HBCU joins the show as we continue our top 10 draft eligible HBCU football player list. That player is Marquis McClain from Southern. He was a standout in the Legacy Bowl and the best...

NFL.com has draft profiles for each player, so let's see what they have to say and if it lines up with my view of the players. Savannah State has earned the right to be considered the favorites in the SIAC women's tournament but if they don't pull it off then who? Tuskegee and Benedict College have ...

Art Briles Hiring is Detrimental to the Grambling Culture, USFL is Another Place for HBCU Players
February 25, 2022 19:28 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBArt Briles is the new Grambling offensive coordinator. I am not a fan of this hire at all. I think this move is detrimental to the culture. Grambling knew the controversy was going to come and still did it. This move has even led Doug Williams away from the school. Savannah State is the number 1 seed in the SIAC tournament and the most dominant force in the conference. They only loss one game, so we look at how they performed before and after the loss. That resilience they showed at an impo...

Prairie View A&M Women’s track & field has won SWAC indoors for a 2nd year in a row. Prior to this, Alabama State was on an 11 year streak of domination.

Ashley Robinson: Unsung Hero of Jackson State, HBCU Legacy Bowl Top 5 Watchlist
February 17, 2022 17:15 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBAshley Robinson is the unsung hero of Jackson State. When a lot of people think of JSU, they’ll think of Deion Sanders. It makes sense. He’s the head coach and the face of JSU football. Robinson is behind the scenes more so he doesn’t get as much notoriety. What he does should not be overlooked including his hiring of coaches around the SWAC, including FAMU & Prairie View. Tyrone Wheatley was in Mobile, Alabama last week as part of the Senior Bowl minority coaching fellowship. This week he ...

Do Non-Conference Games Matter in HBCU Football | Southern at Top of the SWAC with Offensive Dominance
February 09, 2022 12:50 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MBAre non conference games important for HBCU’s? A version of Jackson State’s 2022 schedule leaked, and people were not happy. Lane College is on the schedule, much to the displeasure of Tigers fans. JSU has came out and said the schedule, but the damage was done. That brought me to the question of are non conference games important for HBCUs. Southern stands alone at the top of SWAC MBB. They have a slight lead on the other top teams, but a lead is a lead.
