Yea I cant really explain it.. the first year I went there were like 60,000 people there and it was still just blah. Honestly I prefer the Magic City Classic. The Orlando Classic is cool too but I hate having to go 8 hours away just to get to it.

The SU vs. JSU games are always exciting. This is especially true if both teams are in title contention.

Im thinking about going... the whole city is live all weekend even though Jackson is pretty dull lol. A few other notables.. the John Merritt Classic with AAMU vs Tenn State. Im actually leaving out in about an hour headed to Nashville for that one. Tenn State vs Jackson State, NCA&T vs Norfolk State. Back in the day I used to go to a different game every weekend. We would hit the road as soon as we got off of work on Friday and party all weekend and go to the game. Man I miss those days. It was usually just me and one of my partners since we were the only two that went to and had love for HBCU's. The rest would rather sit in front of the tv and watch games all day.. too bad they had no clue what they were missin.
