We'll see how this series shapes up as Ark-PB scheduled two games on the same day the last time these teams were to meet. Mistakes happen.
Regardless, this is a series that needs to take place. Good for both schools and the state of Arkansas...
UCA-UAPB in '08 & '09 -- Nick Walker in the ADG
Central Arkansas and Arkansas Pine-Bluff are ready to play football again.
Athletic directors Brad Teague of Central Arkansas and Louis “Skip” Perkins of UAPB confirmed Saturday that the schools have an oral agreement to play at War Memorial Stadium for two seasons beginning in 2008.
In 2003, Central Arkansas and Arkansas-Pine Bluff began what was supposed to be an annual football game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, originally called the Capital City Classic, only to see the series stop after one game.
Teague said he wasn’t concerned about the prospect of being jilted by UAPB for a second time. In 2004, UAPB scheduled another game for the same week the two teams were supposed to play. Central Arkansas scrambled and scheduled NAIA opponent Iowa Wesleyan for the open date.
