Southern University coach Dawson Odums to fans: Be loud and obnoxious

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern University coach Dawson Odums had a succinct message for Jaguars fans regarding the team's home opener against Jackson State this Saturday. Bring your A game.

"Be loud and obnoxious,'' Odums said during his weekly press conference Tuesday. "I've been at some places where we had home field advantage and when (the opposing team) got off the bus they were already down 14 points. That's the kind of atmosphere we have to create (Saturday) at A.W. Mumford Stadium. We have the kind of fans to create that."

Southern and Jackson State meet Saturday at A.W. Mumford Stadium at 5 p.m. in a SWAC contest. That's the innocuous pronouncement of what will transpire.

In reality, this game means more to the fans, the players, the universities than most people know.
