On Saturday October 18, 2014 the Grambling
State Tigers came out intense and ready to play the University of Arkansas Pine
bluff for their homecoming football game. There were several alumni, and
current GSU students in attendance at the Eddie Robinson Stadium; kickoff time
was at 2:00 p.m. The tigers have been on a winning streak since defeating the
Jackson State Tigers, which they are now undefeated in the SWAC holding a 5-0 record.
Grambling’s homecoming is a traditional event like no other; because people all
over the world come down to attend the game, especially this year since the
Tigers have been bringing home victories. With addition to the Tigers winning the
scenery during homecoming was spectacular. Also alumni get the opportunity to
come and interact and with individuals and be apart of the celebration of
enjoyment of the game. Grambling’s World Famed Tiger Marching band is another
aspect of keeping the game and the crowd alive to help cheer G-Men to a
victory. The Tigers began with a somewhat slow start in the first quarter
although they were leading 7-3, but by the second half they gained momentum and
roared away with a victory defeating UAPB 63-39.
