It time for another week of SWAC play and this week we are getting into some SWACtion. 4 SWAC games are on the schedule, these games will go a long way in shaping the early league races. There also 2 D2 games and 1 FBS money game. It's go time,baby!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swactalk/support…

Week 3 is in the books and what can I say? I can use a couple of words to say how I feel. #1 is Finish and #2 is ugly, this was a rough week for the SWAC in nonconference play. Only Prairie View claimed a victory in nonconference play and AAMU won an exciting SWAC game. Close the books on this week and move on to week 4. --- Support this podcast: h…

It's already the third week of September and the season is moving right along. This week we have some FBS matchups (including one that I'm picking as a SWAC victory), some big FCS regional matchups, and a big SWAC game. We will discuss all the action. Apologies to PVU, I forgot to preview their game. The Panthers take on Houston Baptist, I look for…

Another exciting week of SWAC football in the books, this week there were multiple get the check games, a couple Division 2 games. And 3 FCS matchups. The SWAC would ultimately go 4-5 this week. We will discuss all the action today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swactalk/support…

It time to close the book on an interesting Week 1 and move on to Week 2. As the saying goes, teams improve most from game 1 to game 2, so there should be some improvement across the board. No conference games this week so this is a chance for the SWAC to nab a few FCS nonconference wins. We will discuss all the action. --- Support this podcast: ht…

The first full week of the season is here and it's jam packed with action. 2 FBS matchups, 2 Division 2 games, 3 FCS games, 2 SWAC games. Including one possible game of the year candidate.

The SWAC season started off with a thud as Alcorn was upset by North Carolina Central 23-14 in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge yesterday. This was a game that Alcorn never took control of and allowed NCCU to hang around. Obviously this is only the first game of the season so there is still a lot to play for, but these are the kinds of games that SWAC teams…

Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? It's time to finally preview a football game. And we get to kick the season off with a bang in the ATL. Alcorn takes on North Carolina Central in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge. Both teams missed the 2020 season as well as the spring season so this is both teams first game in 2 years. Will NCCU be able to compet…

I think at this point UAPB is probably one of the most disrespected teams in the SWAC this preseason. They are picked to finish 5th place, I don't see that happening. This team is returning a lot of talent and although they've lost some guys, they have added some good pieces thru the transfer portal. Their schedule isn't easy but Coach Gamble and h…

The Tigers were unable to get that elusive on field win this spring, playing only two games. Although signs of growth are there, the schedule may not do them many favors. The offense led by Jalen Brown has the potential to be a tough group to stop. And that defense will look to continue it's growth over the past few years. Coach McKinney will make …

Southern comes into this season with one of the most experienced teams in the league, but they have a new man in charge. Coach Jason Rollins takes over and he has some big shoes to fill. For Southern the goal remains the same, win the West Division and win the SWAC title. But the schedule will not be easy, can the Jags get the job done? We will dis…

The Panthers had a very un-PV like spring season, they finished 2-1 but they did it with defense. Instead of their usually high powered offense. Although they lost some big defensive pieces they still return a unit that could be top tier in the league. The questions are on the other side of the ball, can they find a running game? Can their new tran…

It's always tough in the Delta, sometimes more for the home team than the visitors. But coach Vincent Dancy is working hard to change the culture of this team. Valley has been led the past few years by a strong defense. But the offense has been unable to match that success which in turn leads to the defense wearing down late in games. Can Valley ge…

The Tigers come into this season with all eyes on them, the spring season was what it was. With basically a brand new team, the Blue Bengals are primed to be a force in the SWAC. Coach Sanders has a box full of toys to play with, but it remains to be seen how this team will preform on gameday. So sit back and enjoy my best attempt to predict their …

The G-Men finished a rough spring season at 0-4, the Tigers will certainly improve on that record. But the question is how many wins will they be able to garner? The schedule is front loaded so any opportunity of early success is almost too tough to predict. Grambling is a very proud program and they will not take a season like the Spring 2021 seas…

The Rattlers begin their first season in SWAC land with a hungry team and a few questions. The main question everybody is asking is who will be the quarterback to replace Ryan Stanley? If the Rattlers can answer that question they will put themselves on track for a successful season. We will talk Rattlers today on SWACTalk. --- Support this podcast…

It's time to talk about the forgotten new kid on the block, Bethune-Cookman. The Wildcats went 7-5 in 2019 under coach Terry Sims. The have a hole to fill at quarterback but the offense should be solid otherwise. The defense isn't spectacular but they can make plays of their own. The 2021 schedule isn't easy so we will discuss how the Wildcats can …

As we all know or have heard, Alcorn did not play in the Spring. But the Braves are confident that they can regain the crown that they feel that they never lost. Led by the Triggerman Felix Harper and Coach Fred "Air 1" McNair the Braves will be a tough out in their new home, the West Division. We will discuss how I think the Braves will fare this …

The Hornets are coming off of a 3-3 spring season, they head into this season with their coach sitting on the hot seat. Although I like some of the talent on this team, I don't think this team has the consistency to be a factor in the tough East Division. We will discuss how I feel their season will go. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.…

We begin our march to the start of the Fall 2021 season by talking about the Alabama A&M Bulldogs. The Bulldogs led by coach Connell Maynor and QB Aqeel Glass were able to win the Spring 2021 SWAC Championship. The Bulldogs were active in the transfer portal and added some new pieces. Can they repeat as champs? We will discuss it all here..... --- …

We close out our Spring recaps with the West Division Champs, UAPB Golden Lions. In 2019 the Golden Lions were the surprise team of the SWAC going 6-5, under first time Head Coach Doc Gamble UAPB took a huge step in 2020. Earning a berth in the SWAC Championship Game, we will discuss all the action that took place this season. --- Support this podc…

Texas Southern was only able to play 2 games this spring but I thought they took great advantage of those 2 games. I think they have found their QB of the future and I was really impressed with how well the defense played. These Tigers are ready and hungry for more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swactalk/support…

The Jags entered the 2021 season as favorites to win the West Division and to possibly win the SWAC, they fell short of those goals but they did have a season of growth. The Jags were among the league's best on both sides of the ball as they finished with a 5-1 record. We will discuss how their season today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcas…

The Panthers were only able to play 3 out of their 6 scheduled games, and those games were a mixed bag. They could never get their offense and defense on the same page. In fact for most of the season their offense never fully developed. We will talk about what happened to the Panthers this spring. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotif…

The Delta Devils certainly had a season that was impacted by the pandemic, they were only able to play 3 games this season. On the field it was more of the same for Valley. Some growth but mostly not enough depth or consistency to truly compete for 4 quarters. This is a tough job for any coach but Valley does not quit and success could be down the …

The Deion Sanders era at Jackson State got off to an unusual start due to the season starting in the Spring. The Tigers jumped to a 3-0 start but finished the season on the field with 3 straight losses. There were some bright spots but there were also some things that needed to be worked on. A foundation for the future is being established, we will…

The Grambling State Tigers certainly had a season they would love to forget, where to start? First they lost two offensive coordinators, Second their starting QB entered the transfer portal midseason, Third their season was damaged by Covid issues and finally they didn't win a game. That all adds up to an historically bad season. We will discuss al…

The Hornets returned to the field in 2021 and had a typical Alabama State season, they finished 3-3. They did find their future at quarterback in Ryan Nettles and Ezra Gray had a huge game on TV against Jackson State. Their defense kept them in games but their lack of consistency on offense and special teams kept them from taking the next step. We …

The Spring season has come and gone, and I wanted to provide a team by team recap of their individual seasons. First up is the Bulldogs of AAMU, their season was by far the most interesting of any team in the SWAC. Multiple cancellations and postponements of games led to them having nearly a month off, but they were able to endure the adversity and…

This was a big week for deciding the division championship races, would UAPB be able to clinch their first title since 2012? Could the first place Bulldogs stomp the Hornets?

Another exciting week of SWAC football in is the books. This week the focus was on the East Division as both games featured Mississippi vs Alabama matchups. Could the Hornets get their sting back?

Before the season began there were 4 games on the schedule, by the time the season started there were 3 games. A few weeks later there were 2 games remaining on this weeks schedule, by the end of the week there was one game left. On Saturday less than half of that game was played.
