NORMAL – The second annual Louis Crews Classic press conference has been set for Friday, July 29th, at 11 a.m. in the Health and Wellness Center on the campus of Alabama A&M University.
Louis Crews, who the Classic has been name for, was the man who put Alabama A&M's football program on the map. The event was named in his honor March 31, 2010, when A&M officials signed it into a gridiron competition in tribute to the Bulldogs' all-time winningest coach.
"This is truly a great day at Alabama A&M University," president Dr. Andrew Hugine commented then. "What an excellent time to begin a classic for a great man."
In the Inaugural game last September, the Bulldogs went on to hand Central State University a sound 45-0 defeat.
Crews compiled a 93-53-3 record from 1960-1975 at A&M. He guided the Maroon & White to four Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) championships, including a perfect 8-0 record in 1963. A&M's stadium, which is also named after him, opened on Sept. 14, 1996.
