The magic city classic has been the #1 hbcu classic for awhile now
Forever
The fact that b'ham doesn't have a major sporting franchise could be a major motivating factor as well.
There is no sports culture like in other cities during regular season were people get to go out to games. There are no high paid athletes you'll catch "out on the town" etc. So this is the only time the city gets to do stuff like this.
Hell this could be why college football in general is so big in the state. There simply are no other avenues for "sports fandom" in Alabama which is funny given we house some of the strongest college football teams in the country ...but no NFL franchise
You mean the dome stadium they been talkn bout foreverAin't b ham trying to built a football stadium?
Haven't heard anything about that, I'll file that under Lionel Richie saying he was going to do shyt for ASU and Tuskegee and other HBCUs in Alabama and then disappearing.

Man I'm so looking forward to moving back up to da ham(currently down in Auburn) I want to use b'ham as the base for my online business videogamestashbox.com. Given it's a major telecommunications hub and it's a black ran city in great standing it's the perfect place for me. I'd love to buy out the old century plaza building and setup shop in it.
I also want to use my money to do some neighborhood stuff on African peoples history & culture(I'm 10+/- years deep in study). I got so many ideas to build on I swear I won't c00n my money away like most of these rich folks
Think I have to give the nod to the ASU dancers
