While some Howard University students are awaiting the smell of sweet potato pie, macaroni and cheese, turkey and dressings, others are anticipating some HBCU Bayou Classic fun.
The State Farm Bayou Classic events will take place Thanksgiving weekend in New Orleans. The Bayou Classic is an annual football game that not only brings students from rival schools Southern University and Grambling State together, but it attracts thousands of families and students across the nation.
In addition to the football battle that will take place between the Southern University Jaguars and the Grambling State Tigers on Nov. 29 at the Louisiana Superdome, there are a variety of other events planned.
Greek organizations will step it out at the Battle of the Bands and Greek Show, which will take place Nov. 28 and include a competitive battle between the "Human Jukebox" and the "Marching Tigers" marching bands. The Classic will also feature an HBCU College Fair, and a Gospel Brunch.
Freshman Cassandra Cuteo, a New Orleans native has attended the after parties for the classic for the last two years. "This year I am very excited to be going to the game," Cuteo said. She says she is looking forward to seeing the people who hang out on Canal Street.
