Forget that.
Grambling, with a roll call of legends and Hall of Famers such as Eddie Robinson, Willie Brown, Buck Buchanan, Willie Davis and Charlie Joiner, is the Green Bay of the Southwest Athletic Conference. That's pretty much the way it's been in the past - with 17 league titles under Robinson back in the day - and in the present - with five more since the conference went to a championship game format in 1999.

GSU, ’Dogs collide for title
GRAMBLING, Louisiana — Figure on another close game between Grambling State University and Alabama A&M this weekend, only this time under much more important circumstances.
In a late September regular season duel at Robinson Stadium, the Bulldogs pulled out a 20-14 victory.
Now, the longtime rivals from the West (GSU) and East (A&M) divisions collide in a winner-takes-the-title setting on Saturday (1:00 p.m., ESPNU) at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala.
“It’s probably going to be close again, I would think,” said Grambling wide receiver Mario Louis. “I’ll kinda be surprised if it isn’t. We’re both pretty evenly matched and have similar records.”
