In September 2022, the Southern University Jaguars could play against the Louisiana State University football team (allegedly). This event could be one of the biggest events in SU history.
Southern is already known for our Human Jukebox Marching Band, but this will help spread our name on a more national scene. Not only that, it could give Southern a chance to gain more sponsorships to pay for updates and new additions to the campus. Along with the other benefits, this game can show how amazing the Jaguar football team is.
It is not an unknown fact that no matter which school goes up against the Jaguars they can never beat the SU swag. The Jaguars will forever be THAT team. PERIOD!! When going up against LSU, the Jaguars are expected to go at it with everything they have. Regardless if they win or lose, the Jaguars need to make their mark and show why we are a force to be reckoned with. When the Jaguars go out to play, they do so intending to dominate.
When I think of LSU the first thing that comes to mind is the controversy. The school would try any and everything to prevent black students from attending, but now when black highschoolers apply for colleges LSU is one of the first schools they try to attend. Why would you attend a school that did not want blacks there in the first place? Even though LSU has all this money to buy a bunch of things for the campus, black students today cannot be comfortable to be going there knowing its history.
However, their black students sure are comfortable going off the LSU campus and coming to the SU campus to have a good time. For instance, during our pretty Wednesday, the black students and Greeks would come to our campus to party with us. When you think about it, if it was not for those contracts the football players have to sign they would not be attending LSU, they would have gone to a different college.
A poll was posted by Jacques Doucet, WAFB Sports Anchor, on whether Southern should play against LSU, 51% of people said no. So why play against the school when people don’t even want to see us play? Our team is small. Is it that we are not big enough to play LSU? Is it because we are not “worthy” of having the opportunity to play and make a better name for ourselves.
I know Southern does not have the same amount of money LSU has, but saying that we are not wanted at the school will only make us want to come and play harder than any other school they ever faced. At the end of the day, Southern is not trying to be LSU. We have our ways of doing things along with a family environment of the campus. No matter whom the Southern University Jaguars face, they are going to show why SU is one of the best schools in Louisiana
