Hours after Tuskegee University made headlines by opting out of its longtime Thanksgiving Day rivalry game with Alabama State University, the Hornets announced that one of the nation’s most historic black college football classics would continue in 2013 with a new opponent, Stillman College. From AL.com:
“As is reflected on our schedule, we are proud to say that the tradition that is the Turkey Day Classic will be the final regular season game and another state institution, Stillman College, will be our opponent for 2013. In addition to the game, the parade and all of the events that make up the oldest HBCU Classic in the nation will continue, as they are time-honored traditions that are celebrated by the ASU family, the Montgomery community and Turkey Day Classic fans across the country.”
