Founded in 1911 in Jackson, Mississippi, Jackson State Tigers football turns fall Saturdays into citywide celebrations at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, better known as The Vet. The program’s trophy case features a haul of SWAC titles, including back-to-back crowns in 2021 and 2022, along with black college national championships in 1962, 1985 and 1996. Legends like Walter Payton, Jackie Slater and Robert Brazile set the standard, while recent seasons under Deion Sanders reenergized the spotlight. Rivalries power the calendar, from the BoomBox Classic with Southern to the Soul Bowl against Alcorn State. What makes it special for fans is the full JSU experience: the Sonic Boom of the South and J-Settes electrify every break, tailgates ring The Vet from sunrise, and a passionate student section fuels a relentless, welcoming game-day atmosphere.
