JACKSON -- The premiere of WLBT’s season long football show “Sports Journal Tailgate” debuts Saturday, Aug. 26, with live coverage of Millsaps football to be featured.

The “Sports Journal Tailgate” show features four-year football schools and normally airs on Sunday evenings. Saturday’s show kicks off the fall and will preview the upcoming 2006 football season.

“We have a lot to prove,” junior defensive lineman Casey Younger said. “Coach DuBose has brought us a lot of unity we didn’t have last year and because of his experience, he’s going to bring us a lot of success.”

The Majors, picked to finish third in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference last season, couldn’t bring things together and finished last in the conference with a 1-5 record.

“The sky is the limit this year,” junior running back Tyson Roy said. “With the leadership of DuBose, we can take it to the top. He demands a lot of respect and in turn, we give it right back. Our team unity is great and we’re starting to use our talent more and spread it around the field.”

The Majors open the 2006 campaign with a Sept. 2 showdown against cross-town rival Mississippi College at 7 p.m. at Harper Davis Field.
