DOUG WILLIAMS made history being the 1st African American quarterback and Super Bowl MVP leading the Washington Redskins to a 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII. Doug Williams also made history as he returned to coach football at Grambling State University in February 2011. He lead his team to State Farm Bayou Classic and SWAC championship victories, while opening doors for the G-Men football players as well as coaching his son, Doug Williams, Jr., teaching them the game of football as well as the game of life.


MIKE TOMLIN made history being the youngest head coach to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory, when the Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009. Mike Tomlin is the current head coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. Tomlin is the 3rd youngest head coach in any of the four major North American Professional sports.

A New Day with Southern University Men's Basketball Coach ROMAN BANKS and Girl Power with Jaguar Women's Basketball Coach SANDY PUGH by Kingi Knox

FANS around Jaguar Nation are buzzing about the Coach Banks and Coach Pugh billboard!

Its a new day with Southern University's new Men's Basketball COACH ROMAN BANKS from Shreveport, LA. I recently interviewed Coach Banks to learn more about him. Coming from an athletic background, Banks was able to learn the game of basketball from people he loves, admires, and respects. Banks father starred at Southern University and played alongside BOB LOVE from the NBA Chicago Bulls, who is Bank’s godfather. I have adopted a quote from Coach Banks to help me in my professional encounters "Win! You need to PLAY like you WANT TO WIN."

Banks is in tune with players on the court, behind their academic studies, and their personal lives. When one of his players lost a family member, Coach Banks stopped our interview and contacted his family immediately. I would describe Coach Banks relationship with his players as having a Heart of Competitiveness. A heart describing someone who cares about his players all while challenging them to always be better than what they already are.

Girl Power…Coach Banks made history Sunday with his longtime friend from Northwestern State University, fellow SU head Women Basketball COACH SANDY PUGH by currently holding the same record for the SWAC conference of 7-2. The Southern University Jaguars men basketball team defeated the Alcorn University Braves 65-54 and the women Jags also came out victorious against Alcorn with a 67-62 win. Both teams of Southern University will travel to compete against my alma mater Grambling State University this weekend to take on the GSU Tigers basketball team at 3 p.m. Saturday, under the leadership of Bobby Washington and the Lady Tigers under Donnita Rogers at 5 p.m. Assistant Coach Rodney Kirschner shared, “This game is going to be so interesting because Southern have not defeated Grambling in 11 years in the new assembly center”. Well, the HEAT is on as Southern University Basketball teams head to Grambling today to play the Tigers in the Frederick C. Hobdy assembly center.

What makes a winning team? Ok. 1. The Players. 2. The Coach. 3. The Staff. I was in awe how much the assistant coaches really love what they do. They respect Coach Banks and Coach Pugh and genuinely care about the players. I observed the coaches drilling the players during practice. Immediately, after practice the coaches are helping them with their academics. The staff consists of a diversity background. The Men’s basketball supporting staff consists of Rodney Kirschner, Ryan Price, Morris Scott, and Sheldon Jones. Carlos Funchess, Dave Frank, and Rolanda Monroe are assistant coaches for the Women’s basketball team. The coaches come from great academic institutions from studies to career at Northwestern State University, Arkansas Fort Smith, Florida A&M, Louisiana Monroe and Southern University of New Orleans. I think I can say this is Louisiana Gumbo to full affect. You bring different people together, different backgrounds, and different passions together and you make a Gumbo of Success. Mmmm, I I’ll have a bowl. -)

As of today, the Southern University Jaguar women basketball team is ranked #1 and the men are ranked #2 in the South Western Athletic Conference. Sandy Pugh is a beautiful woman doing great things on the court as well as being Southern University's Interim Athletic Director, while coaching the Lady Jags to conferences #1 spot. Coach Pugh, as interim athletics director, oversees the entire affairs of the department in conjunction with her coaching duties.

Sandy, Pose and Say Cheese…Coach Sandy Pugh deserves to be in Essence Magazine!...Picture Perfect!

Girl Power with SANDY PUGH

OBAMA 2012 State of the Union Address to the 1st US president to visit Puerto Rico in 50 years covered by Kingi Knox

Who are YOU when there are no cameras around?

Well there were no cameras around when President Obama visited Puerto Rico, which is a United States territory. Civilians captured the moment with elation and jubilation. President Barack Obama is the first US President to officially visit Puerto Rico in 50 years. President Obama visited Puerto Rico on June 14, 2011 and President Kennedy visited Puerto Rico on December 15, 1961.


I stayed at Marriott San Juan Resort and Stellaris Casino while I visited San Juan, Puerto Rico for my cousin’s wedding. One event took me out of the country. One event brought me to history.

Three days before my visit I heard the president was in Puerto Rico. During my stay in Puerto Rico, I heard the same song all over San Juan not knowing the name of the song. I watched Puerto Ricans singing and dancing to the song at the hotel and in the streets. Then our taxi cab driver for the weekend told me the Puerto Ricans were so elated President Obama visited their land that a song was composed to honor President Obama’s visit. The taxi cab driver told us how President Obama dined where regular people ate admiring El Morro Fort in Old San Juan. To their surprise he wasn’t with a lot of security. There were no television media as he walked the streets and genuinely talked to civilians. Meaning, the American president was so down to earth talking, walking, and eating amongst the people. That cab drive gave me and my dad a button with John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama on it that was a historical commemorative of the two presidents to officially visit Puerto Rico within 50 years.

Selfishly, I wanted to keep the Kennedy-Obama button from Puerto Rico. My dad gave it to my brother’s girlfriend, who is a teacher. She took that button and shared it with her students in Dallas, TX. Instead of me keeping the button as a keepsake, she was able to share that button to her students so they may be empowered and believe in dreams!

One trip…One wedding…One Country brought my family to HISTORY with President Barack Obama and Puerto Rico.

VOTE a MAN who is of YOU, for YOU, and with YOU!

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 President Barack Obama gave the 2012 State of the Union address in the Chamber of the United States of House Representatives. In his speech, President Barack Obama focused on education reform, repairing America’s infrastructure with money not used on Iraq war, and creating new energy sources in America.

After listening to President Obama speech, we are part of the solution. If we look past ourselves and put America first, then we can truly obtain the changes to get America back on the right track.

Americans are FANS for CHANGE and Americans are FANS of OBAMA for America!

HBO Tuskegee Airmen opens the door for George Lucas blockbuster Red Tails $20M movie covered by Kingi Knox

“Red Tails” is an instant classic and loved by American fans! I am proud of Tuskegee Airmen and their contribution to the American history. Red Tails not only tells black history, but how men sacrificed their lives for American History. The Tuskegee Airmen where the 1st African American combat pilots in the United States, that fought in World War II.

I am proud that the original HBO’s “The Tuskegee Airmen” opened the doors for George Lucas $20 M blockbuster movie called “Red Tails”. Like Martin Luther King, Jr. opened the door to President Barack Obama.

“Red Tails” 1st weekend opened with nearly $20Million. The Red Tails cast includes Cuba Gooding, Jr., Michael B. Jordan, Elijah Kelley, and Terrance Howard. The entire cast gave a riveting performance directed in excellence cinematography.

Michael B. Jordan gave an outstanding performance portraying “Maurice ‘Bumps’ Wilson” in Red Tails. I was able to work in the “Hard Ball” movie with Michael B. and watch him give a dynamic performance playing “Clarence” opposite Keanu Reeves, along with Kris Lofton, Julian Griffith, Michael Perkins, Sterling Brim, Aaron Evans, Bryan Hearne, Brian Reed, Alexander Telles, and DeWayne Warren. Michael B. Jordan was a young talent in Hard Ball that has propelled to great success in Hollywood as an actor that the world is noticing and applauding in Red Tails.

I was able to meet Cuba Gooding, Jr. at our church called “Church on The Way”. What was amazing about Cuba was that I was driving pass him in the parking lot as I was leaving church, while he was on the phone. I quickly said, “Hi, Cuba!” He stopped. He switched the phone to his left ear while holding his bible with his left hand and extending his right hand to me and genuinely greeted me. I told him, “Keep up the awesome work and have a great day.” Cuba could have casually waved but he stopped to greet me with sincerity. Cuba performance was delivered with passion and sincerity as he played the part of “Emanuel Stance” in Red Tails.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. also played in the original HBO’s “The Tuskegee Airmen” movie opposite Laurence Fishburne, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Courtney B. Vance, Andre Braugher. Christopher McDonald, and Allen Payne. Allen Payne is someone I also met while he was filming Tyler Perry’s House of Payne. In Los Angeles, I was able to watch Allen passionately play in the NBAE (a league which is the entertainment division of the NBA). He played with competitiveness and dedication. Not accepting failure as an option, which leads me to the character Walter Peoples III acted by Allen Payne in HBO’s “The Tuskegee Airmen”. Walter People III was a Tuskegee Airmen combat pilot so dedicated to his dream that he didn’t want to return home in failure. With his personal humiliation of letting his country down and himself, he took his life when he was released from his honorable position of being a Tuskegee Airmen.

Great men prepared, practiced, and planned to work in these great movie projects to tell a great story that is part of American History.

Kingi Knox and The GREATEST Fan salutes the Tuskegee Airmen and to every solider that has fought for our country!
