2007 PRAIRIE VIEW A&M FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

HIGHLIGHTED WITH ANGEL CITY CLASSIC



PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – The 2007 Prairie View A&M University football schedule is highlighted with the addition of the Angel City Classic on Sept. 8 in Los Angeles, Calif. The upcoming schedule also includes the annual Labor Day and the State Fair Classics and three home contests. One additional home game will be added prior to the start of the 2007 season.



The Panthers will kick off the season with back-to-back classics. Prairie View A&M will open its season with its big Southwestern Athletic Conference game on Sept. 1 against arch rival Texas Southern in the 23rd annual Labor Day Classic at Houston’s Reliant Stadium. Following the season opener, Prairie View will travel to the west coast to take on North Carolina A&T in the Angel City Classic in a non-conference match-up.



“We are elated to have an opportunity to participate in the Angel City Classic,” said PVAMU athletic director Charles McClelland. “We are working on some minor details with classic officials and expect to finalize everything by mid April.”



The next weekend the Panthers return to league competition with a trip to Baton Rouge, La. on Sept. 16 to face Southern. According to McClelland, the Panthers are currently negotiating a home game for Sept. 22. On Sept. 29, Prairie View will travel to Dallas to take on Grambling State in the annual State Fair Classic at the Cotton Bowl.



The month of October will begin with consecutive road games against SWAC opponents. On Oct. 6, the Panthers will travel to Alcorn State, Miss. to face Alcorn State. The next weekend, Oct. 13, they travel to Montgomery, Ala. to play Alabama State. Following the two game road trip, PVAMU will take a weekend off before hosting Mississippi Valley State for its annual homecoming festivities on Oct. 27.



The team will close out competition in November with three consecutive conference foes. They open on the road in Pine Bluff, Ark. for a Nov. 3 contest against the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. The Panthers will end the 2007 season with back-to-back home games. On Nov. 10, Prairie View will return to the friendly confines of Blackshear Field to host Jackson State at 1:00 p.m. One week later, the Panthers will close out the regular season on Nov. 17 when they host Alabama A&M at 4:00 p.m. The Alabama A&M game will coincide with the 2007 SWAC Women’s Volleyball Championship, hosted by PVAMU during the day at the William Nicks Building.

I know a couple of Aggies I can visit if I go. It should be great. Hopefully everything holds together and this isn't some shady Classic.

[aggiejazz]

Well, A&T has not released anything so who is to say this will come off as stated in Prarie View's public released.

[Bornthrilla]

I'm glad King Midas had the foresight to start the solid gold campaign. LA is not a place where you want to be walking around with a lot of blue on.

[aggie2039]

Its not a place where you want to be balck either.

Personally speaking we should boycott LA until they get their
SH!T together.

Racial Hate Feeds a Gang War’s Senseless Killing
By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16 — The Latino gang members were looking for a black person, any black person, to shoot, the police said, and they found one. Cheryl Green, perched near her scooter chatting with friends, was shot dead in a spray of bullets that left several other young people injured.

She was 14, an eighth grader who loved junk food and watching Court TV with her mother and had recently written a poem beginning: “I am black and beautiful. I wonder how I will be living in the future.”

“I never thought something like this could happen here in L.A.,” said her mother, Charlene Lovett, fighting tears.

Cheryl’s killing last month, which the police said followed a confrontation between the gang members and a black man, stands out in a wave of bias-related attacks and incidents in a city that promotes its diversity as much as frets over it.

Ethnic and racial tension comes to Los Angeles as regularly as the Santa Ana winds. Race-related fights afflict school campuses and jails, and two major riots, in 1965 and 1992, are hardly forgotten. But civil rights advocates say that the violence grew at an alarming rate last year, continuing a trend of more Latino versus black confrontations and prompting street demonstrations and long discussions on talk-radio programs and in community meetings.

Much of the violence springs from rivalries between black and Latino gangs, especially in neighborhoods where the black population has been declining and the Latino population surging. A 14 percent increase in gang crime last year, at a time when overall violent crime was down, has been attributed in good measure to the interracial conflict.

This month, the authorities reported that crimes in the city motivated by racial, religious or sexual orientation discrimination had increased 34 percent in 2005 over the previous year. Statistics for 2006 have not yet been compiled.

I'll believe it once the check clears. These West Cost classics never seem to hold up.

[Bornthrilla]

Yeah, what ever happened with that classic that we were supposed to play in Phoenix last year against Grambling?

What I was told is that Grambling wanted a larger share of guarantee, when that didn't happen they signed on to play Houston or vice verse.

If this games happens and I'm pretty sure it will, I will be there. Plus when have you known us to demand any up front cash. This is probably the same promoters of the Las Vegas Classic.
