I think we all predicted this would happen. Now if we can get our tradition rivals on the schedule and experiment farther on if that will move the dial with our so-called fans. We need a homecoming opponent for 24 and a JMC opponent for 25. Now is a good time to used those shots by TSU to get our rivals to want to punch us in the mouth.

I actually was thinking that MVSU would return to the Southern Heritage Classic. They played in the 2nd one in 1991. BUT I like UAPB as an opponent too and I think they can really build that into a rivalry and at minimum boost attendance.

I know this is just semantics, but per NCAA rules, FBS teams can't play at FCS schools. With KSU moving up to FBS, that voided the game in Nashville. This is why the games should have been switched out to the first game being played at TSU so that the second game could have been played at KSU.

Finally a TSU game in the mid-Atlantic region!!! TSU alum in the area will certainly show up for this game. Given the date I wonder if it will be HU's homecoming. HU tends to have their homecoming around the 3rd week in October. I heard that a TSU alum in the area is already planning a pregame party . Should be a festive weekend for those visiting DC for the game.

Maybe October can consist of:
24 NCAT in Nashville for Homecoming 24 AT Howard
25 At NCAT 25 Howard in Nashville for Homecoming
SWAC schedules are likely fixed in Oct... Still waiting on BamaST and AAMU for home and home in Sept.. JSU and FAMU would be nice but...

We will have 8 conference games next two years.
We Have one hbcu space available for 2025. It will be interesting to see who that will be.
Howard isn't a traditional rival. A their band...........
A lot of work will need to be done to get those numbers.
Maybe , we will also do a debate team competition also....

Who needs 100k to be our JMC opponent? Or who realistically can we start a home and home with 1st game of the year?
