KEEPER OF THE FLAME!!
Alabama State:
The Eddie Robinson Foundation is proud and pleased to welcome you to the 2001 America's Youth Classic to be played this week at the University of Oregon.
The games will be televised on ESPN regionally so check your local listings.
Alabama State will join Long Beach State, Western Michigan, and the host Univ of Oregon as they help us move the ball forward and continue what the "Coach" started. This round-robin event promises to be competitive and exciting.
The Foundation was started by the Robinson family in 1997 as a means to continue the life-long legacy of Eddie Robinson and his committment to the Youth of America. This is the third year for America's Youth Classic, and each year a team from this tournament has gone to the elite 8 in the field of 64. Last year it was St Joseph's that emerged; the year before that it was Oklahoma State. Our tournament is the only of it's kind that guarantees participation and an opportunity for an HBCU.
Last year's HBCU was SC State and they had a great showing. They could have won the tourney but started watching the clock with a 12 point lead and they got roped in. They did get one win, though.
So here's to you, Alabama State. Represent like Champions. And if you attend the game, please stop by and give me a shout. I'll be the pretty Nupe in press row.
America's Youth Classic begins Nov 15 and runs through Nov 17.
Have a good tourney. Best of Luck from the Chairman and CEO!!
