The location for the Tuskegee-AAMU game is premature.  It is Tuskegee's home game and the location will be announced upon the release of the Golden Tigers' schedule.

I hope Utopia is correct and the game is played in the Bowl...Seem to recall your saying that the Hounds weren't coming down to Mobile anyway so it's moot...

[‘87 Alum]

Does a road team have a say in where a game is being played in a home & home contractual arrangement? 

[dragon601713]

I wonder if PV will send their band to the game since it's a classic....

you seem to recall wrong.... For over a year it has been reported the game was going to be in Mobile in the Huntsville Times... why would I say anything different.  That was the contract that was agreed on to get Tuskegee to come to Huntsville.


this is an excerpt from the article dated Feb 11, 2011

"I put in a lot of effort to get Tuskegee on the schedule for the Louis Crews Classic," Austin said. "Our fans wanted Tuskegee and we're elated to play another Alabama school. For us to be able to establish this relationship for the next four years with one of our sister schools makes me very happy."

A&M will host Tuskegee this year and in 2013 for the Louis Crews Classic. The two schools will also play each other in Mobile in 2012 and 2014, Austin said.

easy a contract was signed saying 4 games would alternate between Huntsville and Mobile...

[‘87 Alum]

Games and contracts are changed all the time. And my question was t specific to AAMU v Skegee, else I would have stated such specificity.

with agreement from both parties.... I will tell you now AAMU will not be in Tuskegee... the first game of the season with no lights in the hot sun.... call it being scared... call it whatever you want to.. Im just being real.  The wame reason Auburn will never play UAB in Birmingham.... Tuskegee wont play Concordia in Selma, etc... get where Im going?  Membership has its privileges....  We hosted ONE D1 school when we were D2 and that was Howard... happenned once.

[Jay_Thomas]

Soooooo, MOBILE it is.   Is this supposed to be a classic?  I know the last time the 2 schools played there, it was promoted as a classic, just a neutral-site game. Will it be the same for this matchup?

"BP OIL SPILL CLASSIC"

[DAHILL]

This is no classic... TU just got pimped out of a home game..... The game in Mobile will be like a home game to AAMU.... to be honest your AD was "not smart" to sign this contract but it is what it is.

[DAHILL]

Just got word it may be moved to Bham... schedule conflict with South Alabama who has a game at Ladd Peeples the same day.
