Jackson State Hosts College Gameday, Chowan Upsets Virginia Union, MEAC Championship Chase (Week 9)

you are now locked into HBCU post we are the number one outlet for HBCU live talking about everything that's important to our culture from on-campus issues to politics and what's trending on the yard we always keep that same energy don't touch that dial you're listening to HBCU radio you're listening to the HBCU Sports Playbook what's going on everybody this is Randall Barnes the founder of HBCU pulse and the host of HBCU pulse radio in the building for another special edition of the show on today we are back we took a week break to make things happen but we're here it's November and we ready for some football Arya how you doing today doing pretty good um for me it's kind of been a two-week break I went on a whole homecoming tour and then you know you got sick and scared me so um I'm glad to be back I'm glad that you're okay and we can catch everybody up because we're kind of in that closing season where we're really trying to see who's going to go against who and I'm excited to talk about it today yeah hey I want to say this before we start black men go to the doctor I was one of the black men that was sort of avoiding the doctor because how I look at it is like you don't want to be in a situation where you know you're doing bad and then the doctor says you're doing bad this is what's wrong with you but you have to go to know something's wrong with you to prevent it and I learned that you know saying I'm Gonna Change in now you feel me I ate spinach for lunch that ain't that crazy anyway anyway I didn't have low fries so we we getting but I'm not a football player I'm not an athlete I like to be honest but we want to start the show on a bit of a somber note um in honoring Eric in Moore uh Mr Eric Moore passed away uh recently he was the founder of onidan and a true HBC media Pioneer he really led the internet Revolution you know how we look at Stats and you know we read off what's going on online you know in 1995 he started on it then and Anna Dan is the website that we use to see the scores and the schedule we're going to use this episode he was the Trailblazer of that he worked as director of communications at Fayetteville State University in 1984 and he started the honor Dan group in 1986 as a source for sports information for hbcus Honor Dan was the first HBCU Sports website that covered holistically HBCU Sports and they still do today and the thing about it is that they put up all the scores ESPN then have all the scores you see a lot of these other sports purveyors like Fox Sports and CBS they don't have all the scores Anna Dan has the scores for every HBCU sports game and helps us out as we try to cover all hbcus so he's a Pioneer uh there would not be an HBCU pulse or a Randall Barnes in this space without honor Dan there would be an HBC game day and hbcsports.com none of us would be here if it was not for Mr Eric Moore and we extend our condolences to his family uh to the honor Dan community and all the the folks the great people that work at honor damn we extend our love and support to you all in the loss of such a legend and we will continue in his legacy as we move on all right so let's talk about Jackson State College game day they hosted college game day on Saturday we're going to get through it really quickly and then we'll talk about the game and REO will lead in that at so ESPN was on the campus at Jackson State University my boy Pat McAfee was out there he was sued and booted like he was going to coronation and he was he loved that [ __ ] and fired on Chase they fired up he loved that chant it was a lot of good energy a lot of beautiful black people a lot of great stuff going on the signs were hilarious it was one scenario that said Pat McAfee got a boosie fade I'm like they gonna let that go on ESPN that was hilarious Like Pat now he got a booster they kept showing it and he saw the dude got to put a little bit you know it's crazy so it was great so I want to go through the numbers so they averaged 1.89 million viewers through the three hours of the show it was a number two show on cable for Saturday it had a 0.52 rating in the Covenant 18 to 49 demographic that advertisers love so listen it did really well and it got 2.3 million views in the final hour and that final hour featured an interview with Deion Sanders and also Stephen A Smith Winston-Salem Stadium University alumni the OG he was on there and gave his picks he was the celebrity guest picker the college game day he ain't paid enough all right but also this is the best nine-week start for college game day since 2009 in this episode of Jackson State aided in that so it was a good stuff and you know we showed up and showed out and it was good attention to a point to a point and I can't I'm trying to get into that you know for hbcus I think the pros are great Pat McAfee was amazing I'm a big fan of his especially as a wrestling fan I think he's a superstar and his energy is infectious and it was great to see that energy on Jackson State's campus and Kirk Herbstreit is great at his job life just from breaking down the HBCU games to the FPS games he's really great at just breaking down the game and telling you the story and who are the key players in such a succinct time I think he's amazing but the only things that I didn't really like is that you own Jackson State's campus and you didn't cover none of FCS nor did you covered the swac in totality that's all I wanted it's cool you covered the 1974 Walter Payton you know dream team at Jackson State that went seven and three and four and two in the swac they have three Hall of Famers and Walter Payton Robert Brazil and Jackie Slater but I would have loved they covered more of HBCU culture I get you had the alphas and the Delta strolling I get it I understand that has to be a part of an ESPN love the Greeks they love the Greeks if you watch celebration ball are they going to tell you who was Greek but like I just wish they could have covered the culture of Jackson State like just the city of Jackson how they support Jackson State even a little bit of Southern in the human jukebox and and you know the and the Sonic woman itself like I really wish we could we could have got more of that from ESPN and I honestly are you I did not like it all how ESPN college game day came on campus and they were pushing the narrative that Deion Sanders is going to lead Jackson State for power five institution they asked him that and he finally was like I have no plans to leave I mean I'm going to entertain it but I have no plans to leave but also they had like a segment where they spun a wheel and they talked about it in front of Jackson State fence I just think that that was totally uncalled for if he leaves he leaves but I just think that I was totally uncalled for and I think ESPN has to do better I could go on and on but what I will say is that y'all need to go watch Roland Martin's video when he reacted to college game day being at Jackson State University and I agree with every sentiment that he said especially as a black media purveyor and a black media entrepreneur and also working with HBC League Pass Plus was Roland Martin does work with Urban Air and HBC League Pass Plus as well great breakdown and I totally agree with everything you said and there's some things I can't get into because of time for this broadcast but definitely go check that out because I agree so let's talk about about the D1 scores in totality for Saturday so Jackson State defeated Southern 35-0 in the Boombox classic the game was on ESPN3 okay it wasn't on ESPN that was just game day it wasn't ESPN3 um but they won though Boombox classic so North Carolina a t defeated Campbell 45-38 great game REO was there all right Villanova defeated Hampton 24-10 Morgan State defeated South Carolina state 41-14 in a shocker Grandma defeated Alcorn 35-6 in a shocker Louisiana Christian defeated Langston 39-14 Murray State defeated Tennessee State 19-3 preview a m defeated Bethune cookman 58-48 Texas Southern defeating defeated Lincoln of California which is not an HBCU 37-2 North Carolina Central defeated Delaware State 28-21 Howard defeated Norfolk State 49-21 and FAMU defeated University Arkansas Pine Bluff 27-6 on their homecoming so REO so what were some games that you were looking at in the D1 picture yeah so congratulations to Clark Atlanta for winning they're going to lose but they surprised me pull something over my eyes however the saying goes then I went to spell house for Morehouse and Benedict and uh that's that's really all you have to say Morehouse and Benedict I'm sorry Morehouse Lisa had a great homecoming then I got to come home to my actual homecoming A.T versus Campbell and I'm so glad that they won 45-38 but I hate the behind win and that's how a t has been playing and I understand you know they're still kind of new this is their second year but I'm just glad they're finding their footing somehow there's still a little bit of things that they can work on but we have to talk about these other games because now we're getting into the race where we really need to see who's going to the Celebration Bowl who are these dominating teams and after the past two weeks being gone everything has just gone Haywire in the meac so let's start with this October 22nd game South Carolina State versus North Carolina Central One in a very close game 26-24. I wish this wasn't a game that Central lost because this win would have made their trip to the Celebration involved permanent it would have been stamped in history but of course they had to make things difficult for me it was a great game going back and forth and what I could really say was a battle between a running offense and a passing offense we all know Central is really deep into their running game especially their tailbacks and they have a very depth of line when it comes to their running backs and then you look at South Carolina state they're all passing so this is kind of like key for other teams that didn't do good this year or they only have three games left in their season but what they really want to hone into so Central struck first 13 seconds into the game will Collier on a 60-yard run to the end zone I love this Duo it's an automatic threat and I know South Carolina state knew that what I also liked about this game is that there were hardly any moments where they weren't answering each other it was a straight shootout which I feel like we missed this season from all hbcus competing competitively but South Carolina state after that 13 second touchdown ran up two scores and by the end of the second quarter South Carolina state was the 20-14 and this is the first time I believe since Central has been on this trip that they have come from behind and haven't scored at least over 10 or more points within the first quarter so you already know South Carolina state is on a really really good track by the third quarter Central was frozen after one more touchdown two minutes into the quarter and a field goal less than five minutes going into the fourth this is where it became a defensive battle and where Richards wasn't safe anymore you think of this quarterback and he's over 200 pounds over six foot very barely and just he's dominating and he's used to scoring 20 plus points in you before they have but now he's facing a team that knows how to pressure him that knows how to get him out of the pocket his pocket is very secure and he usually has three seconds or more to throw the ball at the fourth quarter he had less than two statistically and so the offensive line not holding up allowed a forced interception late and field goal range which cost them the game in the fourth quarter and I mean there are other things there were two touchdowns from holding penalties that had to be taken back and there was also that interception but what railing is so funny because now everything you say has come to fruition and I I literally have to give you your products and maybe you can make predictions for what the games are going to look like later but missed field goals just like how the Panthers were defeated by the Falcons are key to actually winning games if they never would have missed those two physicals perfect game they would have run regardless of the touchdown the South Carolina state scored late and so it ended up Davis Richards went 11 for 24 170 yards one interception and two touchdowns at the end of the game which is pretty inconsistent for him to be a meac favorite but the rest of these three teams that they go up against which includes Norfolk State I think they could get back up to the top but after this week after that weekend I was I was solely confused about where this race is going then after that two more quick analysis we have Howard which is now number one they're at the top of the meac they defeated Delaware state in 35-17 and then they went defeated no fro steak and a 49-21 and when I was looking at this I was like this can't be so this is the hour that I was getting predictions for that I needed to see a really great quarterback and I need to see more death than their receivers because they were really they hadn't figured out their running game but they really didn't have received Believers that were able to get on the field and actually mesh with their quarterback but Howard decided to try something different by balancing their running game and their passing game even though they were more dominant and running and hey is work and now they're at the top of the meac they went for three touchdowns by Quentin Williams who averaged 175 yards and they held Norfolk State to 229 throughout the whole game Howard I'm sorry you you I'm sorry that's all I could say you have my respect and if this is how it's going to go like I said it's anybody's game in the meact but lastly I want to talk about the upset of Morgan State blowing out South Carolina state 41-14 now Morgan State isn't the greatest team they don't have the greatest record either but if you can call South Carolina state to go scoreless and not one but two quarters the third and the fourth I say you deserve some recognition they let South Carolina stay all the way into Halftime by three points it was 14 to 17. then after that they went through the fourth quarter scoring 24 unanswered points against South Carolina state and South Carolina state has some really good players they have BJ Davis who had eight tackles and one for a loss and Dwayne Nicholas but that didn't work for them and like you also said defense doesn't win games they can stop they can get you on the field they can get you going to get your time back on the clock but your offense has to be ready and so looking at these scores and coming up now and I know we'll discuss later how everybody is looking in these standings the meac is everywhere these inconsistencies can be proven that it's anybody's game I wish and I want and I think we both want Central to be the team that faces Jackson State but they keep making these little inconsistencies and not taking the points where they need to and staying within their Rhythm we really don't know who it's going to be but these past three games have been my favorite and I wish I would have watched them but I'm glad the meac is proven to have some competition somewhere 11 I think that was an amazing breakdown so let's get into uh D2 and what's going on so for the sake of time and also the fact we did an amazing Twitter's faces a d2hbc football coach Thomas and I are we kind of come together thanks to a d2hq football to do what Twitter's faces every Sunday one more idea but I wish it was it was an amazing idea he is great to ski you alone so we making it happen uh so I talked about a lot of the different games uh that went on I'm indeed to this past weekend and I went sort of in depth on what happened with Fort Valley and Savannah State because I was at that game um but I might do another video just really giving my thoughts on that and really a bigger preview to the Fountain City Classic but for the sake of time I want to really focus on Chowan beating Virginia Union in a huge upset 26-21 but I want to say that Benedict defeated Clark Atlanta 49-20 Tuskegee defeated Kentucky state 28-7 those are your two side Championship finalists we're not going to get too much into them because we'll talk about them on next week because the sciac championship is coming up next week Benedict of course you've been able to see their games on HBC League patch plus Tuskegee they have Coach Ruffin down there and they're back being dominant and they pulled off an amazing win against the University of West Alabama well let's talk about Shawan so Chowan is a pwi in an HBCU conference and oftentimes when you have pwis or predominantly one institutions in HBCU conferences they don't really do much by this is sort of there you sort of wonder why they're there it's like you know Spring Hill you know when it comes to the sciac like I mean they're good and like you know other other sports but football basketball Spring football team basketball they're beatable you know but with Chowan Chowan has been actually really good this season and I was like they've been cool all right when you play Bowie You're Gonna Lose we pray for your union You're Gonna Lose we ain't worried about you want it y'all doing good I'm happy for y'all you don't say y'all y'all get based on our cousins you know what I mean but no yeah yeah you're not gonna win they they beat Bowie last week this this lost by Virginia Union and then Shawan beaten Bowie has to won in the lead in the CIAA North and if they beat Elizabeth City State University this weekend they're going to the CIAA championship against Fayetteville State and I am shocked I am perplexed by this now Fayetteville State did beat Juwan earlier in the season but no one expected this and for a lot of HBCU alumni we want to see hbcus on top it's nothing personal but in an HBCU conference you want to see hbcus lead that conference and not predominantly white institutions so a lot of folks are bent out of shape about this and looks like your one it's going to be a little battle it's going to be interesting heading into next week but let's talk about what happened because what happened what robbery occurred like are we all dreaming is it a nightmare what happened well we're gonna start with Bowie 21-15 now Bowie they've had an okay season but they're not going to the championship Virginia Union beat them they had a very interesting upset loss against Shaw earlier in the season and you know coach Dan Wilson is now at Morgan State so I think a lot of what made them great was Damon Wilson's coaching but get this to one hell Bowie to 92-yard yards rushing and they have a 129 yard average for rushing on the season that's crazy that's defense because you got them off off their game then Rashard McKee who's the starting quarterback for Chowan yo that man like that man this this boy game he was 17-33 children is 77 yards and three touchdowns on Bowie's defense and he threw a 73-yard touchdown pass got someone on the scoreboard through a 63-yard touchdown pass to seal the win and the upset then we talked about REO Bowie missed a field goal and an extra point left four points on the board so you look at that score 15 plus 4 is 19. so now you're in a situation where maybe you get a defensive stop you kick a field goal and now you win 22-21 in sports with free throws they matter in basketball with the the miss the missed field goal kicks the missed extra points you're leaving points on the field and in close games that matters and boy didn't get blown out it was a good game but he lost and I wasn't expecting that when I saw that crew off last week when I saw that I was like huh nah okay it's cool boy's been struggling they're gonna be bad you know they go They're gonna be good they still have a good team they're going to be good next year this just was an off-season it happens the Golden State Warriors have struggled the Buccaneers are struggling this year in football so I listen it's going to be good the Champions have that happen sometimes they gotta rebuild all right they got to find a Jordan pool you feel me so I'm like Virginia Union they're the team for now right they got Jada Byers who should be a Harlan Hill trophy candidate he should be a harlem Hill Trophy winner he should be the first HBCU student to win so I'm like man listen Jada buy his rent all up on Valdosta who's struggling this year got 300 yards on him like that he ain't a quarterback he ain't running back he ran for all those yards so I'm like man listen Jada buyers is going to run through Chowan and then he's gonna keep running and keep running until he stopped at the CIAA Championship been in the playoffs that that's where he's gonna start running but he did stop he stopped he stopped they started they stopped on short end zone he was going to touchdown hate to say it hate to see it they held him to 109 rushing yards no touchdowns and get this this is his lowest Rush total in games where he's rushed over 20 attempts so when he's rushed he's rushed 20 times over 20 times he's caught a touchdown he just scored touchdown this time and this is the first time he didn't have a touchdown and this is the lowest Rush total on those many attempts now his lowest Rush total was against Virginia University of Lynchburg which was 98 but they're playing Virginia University of Lynchburg come on like it's not like it's like he was in the game in the fourth quarter oh it's a close game let me run this in no he was sitting there he was enjoying the game he probably has the popcorn probably out of water you got to be healthy you know what I'm saying probably has some green apples so he's over there just enjoying the game you know he probably was on his phone talking you know I mean come on like it's it's reverse and Lynchburg we love y'all come on man let's be real but this game was actually competitive and they held him to that I think HBCU game day and Stephen gather said this they made Jada buyers look human because some of these statistics he put up this year it's like dude like are you in the NFL already like like what's going on but Shawan was able with that Rush defense that held Bowie to 92 rushing yards they were able to contain the hottest offensive player really in HBCU football this side of shandora Sanders and I'm like what I honestly couldn't believe it are you because my entire thing is that this was this was Virginia Union's year and they're going to the playoffs I think that they beat Virginia state but you never know you don't know how much this loss could hurt him because it sort of ruined a perfect season for them but I think they're going to beat Virginia state and they're going to go to the playoffs and they still do have a chance to make it to the CIAA championship but the only thing is this they got to count on Elizabeth City to beat show on and y'all that ain't gonna happen that ain't gonna happen I'm gonna tell you the reason why and maybe it could and I would be wrong I would take it if you on YouTube and let me know all right I will I will take it because I don't mind being wrong but y'all they're two and seven let me see these two and seven now granted they did battle with Bowie Bowie won 36-29 on last week they gave Bowie a fight but Shawan holds the opponents the 19 points per game Elizabeth City averages 14 points per game Elizabeth City holds their opponents to 34 points per game and hold is sorted in quotations hold like hold here for the 34 points per game so one out is 21. they only got to score 34 points they just got to score 21. in Elizabeth cities is not good at that and then so Juan is a better rushing team a better passing team a better defensive team but a red defense team they have they have McRae out there they have Rashad McKee out there and he says dope I think he's in his pocket right now and I think he wants to shock the world so I just don't believe that Elizabeth City is going to be able to pull this off just looking at the numbers now the numbers the stats and the eye test is two totally different things maybe Elizabeth City goes out there and they say you know what we're going to shock the world we're gonna have an upset and I don't count them out totally but looking at it from a rational perspective you cannot rationally believe that she wanted to lose to Elizabeth City so they got it now Fayetteville status on them Fayetteville State is is a great team hopefully Fayetteville State continues to to do their thing I think they have a very comfortable lead in the CIAA South but Shawan is here and that's going to make the set of late Championship very interesting so D2 is looking interesting going into championship week you got Tuskegee and Benedict you have the newcomer versus the the old guys that's been here before Tuskegee is one of the best HBC football programs in history they have Tawana white school going up against most likely Fayetteville State which is Fayetteville State that continuously lost the buoy Fayetteville State that was always the runner-up Fayetteville State that is great at basketball they they have everything it takes to get players in the league like Joshua Williams and they have a great football team but Damon Wilson and Bowie these past few years has always eluded them maybe it's their time but we'll see but it's gonna be interesting seeing the CIAA Twitter takes because Chowan is is going to the championship unless Elizabeth City does something we'll pray for him okay we'll we'll send another prayer for him we'll do something Bible study for him because they don't they're gonna need God okay so let's talk about Ariel our games of the week so I'ma stick on on D2 really just for the second time and I'll start off uh Fort Valley and Albany is my game of the week uh Fort Valley had a very tough loss to Savannah State um I want to point out um just one thing with that game so Fort Valley was poised to win that game they were going into the fourth quarter winning 17-7 and Savannah State scored 21 points in the fourth quarter two touchdowns and a fumble recovery but they only won 28-24 so it wasn't just a straight blowout win right they had to come back and win Fort Valley I think was the better team but the big thing is decision making and like you said when it came to South Carolina to South Carolina State North Carolina Central and like I was talking about with Bowie they missed in an extra point try and then they missed the field goal Fort Valley made a terrible decision going for a fourth down conversion trying to go for a touchdown because they were they were in the Red Zone on their first drive instead of going for the points if you go for the points the game is 28-27 you don't put the game in the referee's hands because Aria I know I talked to you yesterday it wasn't a touchdown but like like the Kelvin Durham like you know throw that we thought was a touchdown it wasn't a touchdown he now possession of the ball and I'm gonna be real with my team I I I'm a real sports fan you're a real sports fan you know what I'm saying so it's like we're going to be real with our teams like you lost and the reason why you lost is not because of the referees in the instance although you put it in their hands you lost it because you made a terrible decision and you let Savannah State back in and Savannah State they want to show the ad fight and it wasn't personal because they went out to Albany State too but Albany State knows how to close out games so in this game with Fort Valley in Albany State Albany State beat Fort Valley 57-0 last year and we know what it was for we know the Albany State had a bigger motivation than football and we salute them right especially in this time you know but Fort Valley is a blue blood in the sciac just like Albany State that's our rival there's not too much football analysis that I really can do right now because it's all about Pride at this point we know Kelvin Durham's that guy Emmanuel Wilson is probably the best running back in the sayak handle business I think Albany State is is the most vulnerable that they've been in the past seven years and we got them in 2016 with a comeback victory Fort Valley South has to do their job mess up their playoff chances like Savannah State messed up ours because Savannah State show fight show fight don't go down there and get blown out this is the most talented team that Fort Valley has had in the seven years I've been a part of Fort Valley Community I started in 2015 graduate 2019 been an alumni for almost three years this is the most talented team that we've had We've Got Talented players but from offense to defense like this is honestly one especially my offensive side this is one of the most talented teams that I've seen so many weapons capitalize on it because we don't know what next year will be and coach Sean Gibbs the North Carolina a t Aggie last thing I'll say is is make good calls kick the field goal because Albany State will kick the field goal that's all I got to say REO tell us about your game of the week the field goal because Albany State will kick the field goal that's all I got to say REO tell us about your game of the week it was so much shade but so much realness thinking but it's true um I guess we're both going home making our games of the week I will be watching a T versus no Fork State um it wasn't a really nice schedule which will tell you guys all the games that are coming up for this week it wasn't really a great pick um I think that Randall has to pick uh to see and I just willingly gave it to him without even looking but we're gonna um I I think a t has it a T's next three games actually are this game should be uh pretty easy but you know a t knows how to mess up a lead and I'm I'm hoping that when when they've gone back to me act play and some some swag teams they've won and I think beating Campbell was a real confidence booster but we'll see if their inconsistencies can hold against Norfolk State but that that's that's my game of the week like I said you have the one that if I would have looked at I probably would have snatched from you yeah FAMU 7 is what I'm looking at for D1 um really because of the Rivalry and I want to see southern bounce back they laid a goose egg at Jackson State you know so like FAMU isn't vulnerable anymore they started off you know with ineligible players and a lot of issues but they they hired their new ad that starts in January they started getting some some good wins they beat Alabama a m you know so I think that they're trying to get back to the playoffs which it looks like they might because Jackson state is definitely going to make the celebration bowl and they might go undefeated in conference play so Jackson State's truck is probably going to Celebration ball and FAMU is going to be you know the swag represented once again in the playoffs and they want to do better especially with Isaiah land you want to see him get drafted so you want to see him have those moments where people see his play the scouts come out to see him so you know I just want to see a good game like Southern and FAMU is a huge rivalry that that dates back like decades especially in the 90s they went back and forth so I just want to see a good game and shout out to Xavier Smith Xavier Smith he's the star wide receiver I'll Fort FAMU how about this REO uh real quick I was a reporter quote unquote for ESPNU campus Connections in 2018. so uh Fort Valley played FAMU we got blown out they they they they set a record on us from like in field goals it was crazy um and I and I was I was trying to get you know an interview I was trying to interview coach Simmons or I was trying to interview somebody to sort of put a point on on my package right because family won because I had to switch up the whole entire thing because I was like fam you stole the show so I'm like I need to find somebody to interviews it was this guy he had no no shoulder pads on nothing and I said hey man how you doing hey hey hey listen congrats on the win can I get an interview with you he was like yeah so I I asked him how does it feel to win your first game he said basically ain't no fans like rattle Nation fans it feels amazing and I put it I put it in the package Howard that was Xavier Smith and I and I realized that I'm like it's familiar and I like the fact I'm like that's Xavier Smith and I use everything like like like I said freshman right receiver Xavier Smith so I met Xavier Smith you know what I mean so you know and and that's that's in the might run down agency lead pass it says then the Vault man this is this is last game you know in in Brad and Brad's Memorial Stadium hopefully he gets draft consideration maybe XFL usfl he's so talented I want to see him go and play professionally but it's just crazy how things work I've been doing this for a minute I'm getting old man I'm I'm coming to OG out here in this HP media thing but nothing nothing like the the real OG's like Eric Moore Steven Gator I ain't nothing like that but I met Xavier Smith I feel special but let's talk about the games that are coming up on this weekend we're gonna go and close things out so on Thursday Mississippi Valley State University is
