Bayou Classic
The Bayou Classic is the annual college football game between the Grambling State University Tigers and the Southern University Jaguars, first held under that name in 1974 at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, although the series itself actually began in 1932. Since 1990 the game has been held the final Saturday in November (i.e., the Saturday after Thanksgiving) at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. A Waterford crystal trophy is awarded to the winning school. The game had State Farm Insurance as its title sponsor from 1996 to 2011.〔 Following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, organizers moved the 2005 event from the Superdome to Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, where many of New Orleans' evacuees were living. This was the first time ever that the Bayou Classic was held outside of Louisiana. The 2006 Bayou Classic returned to the Superdome in New Orleans.
It is the best known annual game and rivalry in historically black college football and has been nationally-televised in the U.S. by NBC from 1991 to 2014. Since 2015 it airs on the NBC Sports Network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bayou Classic moving to 4 p.m. start time, will air on NBC Sports Network )〕 The Bayou Classic is the only NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) game to be shown regularly on broadcast television. Fans have been known to refer to it as the "Black Super Bowl," although that name is not used in any official capacity by either school due to the National Football League's restrictions on the use of the "Super Bowl" name. Both schools typically forgo Division I-AA playoff eligibility to participate in the Bayou Classic. The game is one of two black college football classics to be associated with Thanksgiving weekend; the other is the older, Turkey Day Classic, held two days prior on Thanksgiving itself.

Of the many festivities held in conjunction with the game, the most well-known and well-attended is the two-part Battle of the Bands, where both universities' marching bands The Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band, also known as "World Famed" Tiger Marching Band, and the Southern University Marching Band, also known as The Human Jukebox perform. Following the Greek show, the two renowned bands stage elaborately choreographed performances on the Friday night before the game. The second part is during the football games' halftime show. There is no official judge for the band event. Other festivities include a golf tournament, coaches luncheon, a concert/festival, tailgating, fashion show, pep rally, alumni functions, college recruitment fair, a Thanksgiving Day Parade which was brought back in 2011, and a job fair for graduating students of both schools. The annual Grambling versus Southern "Miss Bayou Classic" beauty pageant was held from 1978 to 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In case you were wondering )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bye-Bye Miss Bayou Classic )〕
