The Amazing Black Karnak of the MEAC presents…. 

Football Predictions- Sept. 1-5

MEAC 

Morgan at Towson – Towson is not that good, but they are good enough to beat Morgan.  I hate saying that, but I have to.  These two teams normally play each other tight (Morgan by 3 in 03, Towson by 7 in 02, Towson by 3 in 01, Morgan by 6 in 99).  I’m not feeling Morgan this year.  I’d like to be wrong on this.

A: Rodney Dangerfield and JSU

Q: Name two [people] who are most famous for their 1-liners (Rodney – “Take my wife, please”; JSU – “1 yard – total yards rushing vs. SU”)

Hampton v. Jackson St. – No contest. The JSU and some SWAC hopefuls are saying that this game will be close.  It’s going to be tough, but I heard Hampton is going to try to hold JSU to “0” yards rushing and 20 passing yard.

A: Herb, clean up on aisle six!

Q: What are the WSSU faithful going to be doing after Howard smacks the [poop] out of them up and down the field?

Winston Salem at Howard – Isn’t this one of the teams that has thought about joining the MEAC?  Howard better win.  They will be the laughing stock of the MEAC with a loss.  Show no mercy.  WSSU hasn’t played a MEAC team since 2000, and they will not be ready for the MEAC in 2005.  I know scheduling is done a few years in advance, but WSSC has big gonads. Their first 3 games this year are against Catawba (2004 NCAA II playoff team) – they lost, Howard – they’re gonna lose (WSSU), and SCST next week (another loss).  Maybe those 3 games will get the team in better shape for their CIAA schedule. Good luck with that, WSSC.

S.C. State at Alabama St. – Tough one to call.  MEAC Co-champions vs. SWAC champions. 9-2 vs. 10-2 (2004).  First game. In Alabamy. No recent history on between these teams.  Flip a coin, could go either way.  I’m going with the MEAC just because SCSU is hungrier.

A: A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, Elizabeth City, and Mary Bethune Cookman.

Q: Name 4 things that have yeast.

Elizabeth City at B-CC – Sounds like two girl schools fighting each other.  Who’s next, Spelman at Bennett?  Becky at Barbara?  Who cares?  Over the last ten years, Elizabeth has a record of 27-75.  They play like girls. Last week was their first opening day win in 10 years.  Enjoy it while it lasts, Lizzy.  Your win streak is over now.  

Mary by a landslide (21+) 


A: Catch-22

Q: What do the Norfolk State Spartan receivers do with 100 passes thrown their way?

Virginia St. at Norfolk St. – Come on Norfolk – you’re making me mad, man.  I’m gonna go against my better judgment and call this one the upset of the week.  There is a lot of history between these schools.  Norfolk has a new coach and they need to start off on the right foot. They should win 3-4 games this year.

NSU by 3


A: No Class

Q: What are the similarities between school in the summertime and over half of FAMU’s football team and band schedule? 

Delaware St at FAMU – The last time DSU beat FAMU was in 1993.  DSU was good then.  6-5. That’s good for the DSU of recent years.  Yeah, I know, FAMU is supposed to be sorry this year.  And they will be. But they are not going to lose their first game – not to Delaware State – not in Florida. Nope. Not gonna happen.

FAMU by 10


A: At both ends.

Q: Where do North Cak-a-lackies put their dog muzzles? 

NC A&T at NC Central – Woo-wee – there is gonna be a country-bumpkin throwdown on right here!  Ma, put the sheep in da barn and put both dem muzzles on dem dogs!  See Winston Salem/Howard write-up. Same thing, different players.  Will A&T try to make a comeback this year? They should have two easy wins before meeting MEAC powerhouse Hampton.  Maybe A&T should take a page out of the WSSU schedule and play some tough games first.

SWAC 

TX Southern vs. Prairie View A&M – PVAM continues to light the sports world on fire with another 4-win season, starting with this win.  Last time they had a 4 or better win season before last year was 1988.  Last time they had two 4 or better seasons in a row: 1969-1970.  Better buy your tickets now, cause it’s gonna happen again, folks!

PVAM by 14. (Yes, TX Southern is that bad). 


Easy pick of the week 

Bowie State v. Johnson C. Smith – J.C. Smith Golden Bulls’ name is too long to fit on their helmets or jerseys.  What has that got to do with anything?  It’s a known fact –with few exceptions, long-named colleges don’t win.  Go with Bowie on this one.
