FOR MANY YEARS MY FAMILY & FRIENDS ALIKE GATHER FOR THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IN NEW ORLEANS FOR THE BAYOU CLASSIC EVERY YEAR IS MEMORABLE CU THIS YEAR!

The State Farm Bayou Classic is more than just a football game; with its colorful and glorified history, the State Farm Bayou Classic is a unique family fellowship that exists within a football game.

Everyone loves a grudge match. And that's what football fans can expect at the 37th Bayou Classic sponsored by State Farm Insurance Companies. Every year, the game is a sell-out, attracting more than 62,000 fans. It'll be another terrific game this year as the Grambling State University Tigers and Southern University Jaguars football teams line up on the field to battle it out!

The gridiron match-up between Grambling State University and Southern University, two great Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) rivals, represents the best that collegiate sports have to offer: teamwork, tradition, passion and fierce competition.
