This is one game I look forward to every year. Always had much respect for the late coach Robinson. ALways wanted to go to grambling...and this made my high school guidance consouler (however you spell that word) do a double take. A white guy wanting to go to a traditionally all black school.
Yes, I was a freshman at GSU in 1977. There used to be the Bayou Classic parade, a battle of the bands, a beauty pageant, a step show and even a basketball game the night before the football game. In those days, the Classic was really almost a weeklong experience.
True football. 2 of the great HBCU's of all time. True black college football. I miss Coach Robinson. Great rivalry.

I marched for Southern in 1976. The band today does not march the same way. No DRIVE.

You are right...especially with footage of future super bowl MVP Doug Williams all in this film.

Too bad they had to forfeit the game against Prairie View A&M the week after.
