Tigers Schedule 2011 Football Season Without Atlanta Classic

Tennessee State University Athletic Director Teresa Phillips has released the tentative 2011 football schedule without the Atlanta Classic against perennial opponent, Florida A&M University.

"The Atlanta Classic is sponsored by the 100 Black Men of Atlanta and they decided to bring in another opponent to face Florida A&M," said Phillips. “We are in active negotiations to schedule an FBS or prominent FCS team to replace that game this year.” She concluded saying, “We expect to complete our schedule by the end of the month.”

The Tigers and Rattlers have played each other for twenty-eight consecutive years with FAMU holding a 26-25-1 edge in the all-time series. TSU beat FAMU 29-18 last year in Atlanta in front of a crowd of 54,202.

Phillips added, "Considering our long-standing rivalry with Florida A&M, we are looking to negotiate future home-and-home games with the Rattlers to renew and sustain our series."

    Whether SU is winning or losing, this game is going to be huge in Atlanta!!!!

    Damn SU doesn't care if they win. Man i hope yall don't embarrass the SWAC and let FAMU run a clinic on yall team. Jackson State would have been a better choice at this point in time lol. BTW, Tory you think SU will travel deep to ATL if yall lose yall first two games to TNSU and A&M? lmao

    If it's SU & FAMU, this would be the Ultimate MEAC/SwAC Challenge. Brilliant!

    They will PROBALLY bring in a school with alot of fan base in atlanta. And SU dosen't have a big fan base in atl. If they're gonna change it then they need to bring in a school like JSU(pretty good size fan base IN ATL). Of course famu has the biggest infulence in Atlanta followed by BCU, but since its already the "florida classic" they wont bring in BCU. But whoever they choose I will be in attendance

    What college u marched wit?
