Well, now, let me tell ya a bit ’bout the 2010 Jackson State football team. They was a tough bunch, no doubt. Now, Jackson State, that’s a big ol’ university down there in Jackson, Mississippi. And back in 2010, them Tigers, they played real hard in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, or SWAC for short. They’s Division I, just like them big boys on TV, only they got their own kind of fight.
You see, the 2010 season wasn’t just some casual game of catch. They played all sorts of teams, and lemme tell ya, some of them games was ones folks in Jackson talked about for a long time. They had some wins and some tough losses, but that’s how it goes, ain’t it? You win some, you lose some, but it’s all ’bout the heart and the hustle.
Now, let me start with a few of the games that stood out. On September 4th, they played Delta State, and oh, they took home the win, 32-17. Not bad, eh? Then just a week later, they took on Tennessee State, and got another win, 33-26. I reckon folks was mighty proud of ‘em, seeing them victories stack up like firewood before winter.
The thing is, them Jackson State Tigers, they didn’t just win games, they made history, too. Over the years, they done turned out some of the best football players to ever set foot on a field. Players like Lem Barney, Walter Payton, Robert Brazile, and Jackie Slater. Those names might ring a bell to folks who know their football history, and they ain’t just local heroes – they’s Hall of Famers, real big shots in the world of football.
Now, if you look at the 2010 roster, you’ll see a bunch of young fellas who was ready to take on the world. They had quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, linemen, and all sorts of positions. Each one of ’em had a role to play, and each one did their part, even when the going got tough.
Quarterbacks like Casey Therriault, he was real good at getting that ball down the field. He’d throw it right on target, and the receivers sure did make good use of it. Now, them receivers, they had their hands full too, running them routes and catching balls in the air like they been doing it their whole lives. And don’t forget them defensive players – they had a good bunch of linebackers and corners who wasn’t afraid to knock someone’s helmet off if it meant stopping the other team from scoring.
But it ain’t all about just the players. It’s about the whole team working together, from the coach to the waterboys. That coach, Rick Comegy, he knew what he was doing, always got his boys fired up and ready for the next challenge. Them Tigers might not have won every single game that year, but they gave it their all.
Let’s talk a bit more ’bout them wins, though. In the 2010 season, they didn’t just show up to play; they fought for it. They had some mighty fine wins, like the one against Tennessee State I mentioned earlier. And don’t forget the Delta State win. Those was big games for Jackson State, and they proved they could hang with the best of ’em.
If you look at their schedule that year, you’ll see they was busy. They played teams like Memphis, Alabama State, and Grambling State. Some tough teams in there, I’ll tell ya that. But them Tigers didn’t back down. They played with pride, with the spirit of Jackson State running through their veins.
As for the stats, you can go find ‘em all over the place, if you want the nitty-gritty details. But the big picture is this: the 2010 Jackson State Tigers made a name for themselves. They wasn’t just another football team; they was a team with history, with passion, and with a whole lot of heart.
So, in the end, what’d we learn from all this? Well, the 2010 Jackson State football team might not have taken home all the trophies, but they sure did give fans a season to remember. They showed the world that Jackson State wasn’t just some small school down in Mississippi. They was a school full of talent, history, and pride, and that’s somethin’ worth celebrating.
So next time you see someone wearin’ a Jackson State jersey, just know they’re wearin’ a piece of that proud history, one that’s still goin’ strong today. Ain’t that somethin’ to be proud of?
