It’s a legitimate question, folks. Not just on the rumors that Coach Alvin Wyatt will likely be gone after the season, but even if he stays, it appears that the Wyattbone offense may have run its course in black college football.

If anybody out there has any insight on MEACFans.com, I’d like to know about it. Every time I’ve gone to the address for the past 3-4 days, a message about the site being suspended pops up.
And that’s shame. I’ve come to depend on reading the incoherent rants...
Does it Matter if Howard Loses Homecoming?
October 26, 2009 by
HBCU Sports Blog
| Comments
I’ve asked this question over the years, partly because Morgan’s homecoming looks like a Fourth of July cookout compared to Howard’s, but mostly because the Bison have been that bad for that long. They lost homecoming this weekend to North Carolina A&T, but I...

How fitting that representation from the CIAA East in the conference championship game will come down to Virginia Union and Bowie State – two teams picked to finish fifth and seventh respectively in the preseason conference predictions.
Virginia Union has done it with defense...

Players calling meetings about the offense, rumors of suspensions and quitting, and general clouds of mediocrity hovered over the Jackson State program throughout the week. Surprisingly, the Tigers responded with a 25-16 win over Mississippi Valley State, and have a good chance to...

The Morgan State Bears headed up to Dover yesterday to take on a Delaware State team that was ego-battered and body-bruised from its Michigan catastrophe of a week ago. At stake was sustained seat atop the MEAC standings, and heightened respect among uncertain Bears’ faithful...

HBCU Sports Blog

Tuskegee fans have paraded in and around my email all night to bring spices and seasoning for this morning’s serving of crow. I knew it would be close, I knew it would be an instant classic. But I never would’ve expected Tuskegee to defeat Albany State 21-19 and position...

Forgive the lack of posts today, but as some of you may be aware, my wife and I welcomed our first child, a son, into the world at 11:45 this morning.
As such, I’ll likely be out of commission for the next 24-48 hours, catching up on sleep, rejoicing in the gift of life, and preparing [...]

HBCU Sports Blog

Don’t let the record fool you – unless something miraculous happens with the Morgan State offense, there is no way the Bears will contend for a MEAC football championship.
The 5-1 record is something to be proud of, but we’ve seen this before. We’ve seen the...
Can Tuskegee Beat Albany State?
October 20, 2009 by
HBCU Sports Blog
| Comments
You could say that everything FAMU-SCSU was to the MEAC, Albany State-Tuskegee may be to the SIAC. There is no question that the Rams are on the path that Tuskegee tread just a season ago; a dominant quarterback leads a dynamic offense paired with an opportunistic defense. The SIAC...

You know something has gone terribly wrong when Norfolk State and Hampton fans alike are wondering who Dr. Harvey is going to fire after this game. That’s how bad the Pirates 46-6 defeat at the hands of the Spartans was – somebody deserves to lose a job.

I have to admit, when I picked the South Carolina State Bulldogs to win the game-of-the-year matchup with Florida A&M University, there was slight trepidation on my part. Both teams had looked wonderful through the early part of the the year, but there was something electric about...
