The Texas Southern University community is eager with excitement as the new head football coach, Cris Dishman, prepares for his first major game of the season. The highly anticipated Labor Day Classic is not just any game; it's a cherished university tradition where TSU goes head-to-head with their rival, Prairie View A&M University. This year, the matchup is even more special as Coach Dishman will be facing off against one of his long-time friends, Leonard "Bubba" McDowell, the head coach for Prairie View A&M.

With a remarkable 13-year career in the NFL and over a decade of coaching experience, Coach Dishman brings a wealth of knowledge and strategy to the TSU Tigers. Supported by his skilled assistant coaches and a roster of talented athletes, he is more than prepared to lead his team to victory. The players have been training rigorously, and the coaching staff is leaving no stone unturned in their preparations.

The game, scheduled for Saturday, August 31, 2024, at Prairie View A&M University, promises to be an exhilarating battle of tactics, skill, and sheer determination. As the Tigers gear up for this monumental clash, the TSU community stands united in their support, eager to witness Coach Dishman and his team make their mark and bring the victory home to Texas Southern.
