The game was drawing 10,000 in Durham.

It did 10k in 2011 because the WSSU fans showed up in force for it being our first time back. The game attendance was continuing to drop in Durham.  The last year it was in Durham attendance was 4,577 for WSSU v. Bowie.

Granted numbers are going to be better in Durham over Salem, but it was time for it to move.  And now it is time for the game to move again.

BOWIE, Md. – Another week, another victory, and another two spots up in the national rankings for the Bowie State University football team. The Bulldogs, now 6-1 overall and in first place in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Northern Division with a 2-0 record, moved up to 14th in this week's American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division II poll announced Monday...

Have the regional rankings came out?

Not yet. I believe they will come out after next week's games.

I don't like it. At all.

Local law enforcement sets traps all over that place after the game. They wait for post game tailgaters to leave and then try to add more loot to the City of Salem's coffers.

 I wonder if they do that BS after the D3 championship games they hold there?

Durham, Raleigh, Richmond, suburban Maryland, Charlotte...All would be better venues. At least all the places I mentioned have a decent amount of culture. Salem ain't nothing but East Podunk for black folks. I do NOT like the vibe around that blicky AT ALL.

Stop lying.

The retailer says it will spread the traditional Black Friday savings throughout the season and will have more deals available online.

This proves how bad education is.

Bearforlife, they have had to have an education for it to be bad. A lot of these people either never darkened the doorway of a classroom, or came up short of ever finishing if they ever did. Then, there are those who were pushed through just to be done with them because the system gave up on them.
