The usual Classics against Texas Southern in Houston and Grambling in Dallas during the Texas State Fair for the Panthers, who are coming off their best year since 1988. Edward Waters is on the slate in the non-conference as is the opponent that Grambling slugged at the end of the year last year, Concordia College, both at home...
PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – An 11-game slate, highlighted by seven home dates, including two games in Houston, has been announced with the release of Prairie View A&M University’s 2006 football schedule.
The 2006 schedule, announced by athletics director, Charles McClelland, includes the most attractive home schedule in recent years, featuring two non-conference opponents. Edward Waters College will return to the schedule for the first time since 1965 and a new opponent, Concordia College, has been added.
“We are extremely pleased to have Edward Waters and Concordia become part of our non-conference football schedule,” said McClelland. “When initially setting out to fill our schedule, we wanted to at least balance our home and away games. Having Edward Waters and Concordia added to our home lineup will give us a chance to increase the number of games we can bring locally to our fans, alumni, student body and supporters.”
The 11-game schedule begins on Sept. 2 with the 22nd annual Labor Day Classic against arch rival Texas Southern in Houston. Following the Labor Day Classic, Prairie View will have three consecutive home dates. On Sept. 9, Prairie View will host Edward Waters College at Blackshear Field before returning to Houston to host Southern University on Sept. 16. The Panthers will return to campus on Sept. 23 for a game against Concordia College. Prairie View will close out the month of September with a trip to Dallas, Texas to face Grambling State in the annual State Fair Classic at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas on the Sept. 30.
