FANS are buzzing about...
Air Force Reserves
CELEBRATION BOWL
FANS has been sending us their questions.
Question:
What is the Celebration Bowl?
Celebration Bowl is presented to the FANS by the title sponsor Air Force Reserves and produced by ESPN on ABC, which celebrates HBCU football in a competition between the MEAC champion and the SWAC champion.
What is MEAC?
Mid Eastern Athletic Conference, which is led by Commissioner Dennis Thomas. North Carolina A&T is part of the MEAC.
What is SWAC?
South Western Athletic Conference, which is led by Commissioner Duer Sharp. Alcorn State University is part of the SWAC
How is the Celebration Bowl different from the Heritage Bowl?
"The Celebration Bowl Mission is different and Goal is different.
BOTH CHAMPIONS ARE IN THE GAME", MEAC Commissioner Dennis Thomas
MEAC wins the AFR Celebration Bowl. North Carolina A&T (MEAC Champion) defeated Alcorn State University (SWAC Champion) 41 to 34. FANS were in attendance with 35,535 fans. Air Force Celebration Bowl took place in the Georgia Dome on December 19, 2015 in history as the inaugural bowl presented by the title sponsor of Air Force Reserves was produced by ESPN on ABC, which celebrates HBCU football in a competition between the MEAC champion and the SWAC champion.
Now the FAN fun,
The GREATEST Fan hosted by Kingi Knox was featured on The Carlos Brown Pre-Game show at 9:00 AM to 11 AM. Kingi was part of an ensemble cast discussing HBCU sports and culture with Truck and Charles Edmond in the Georgia Dome Press Box for the Carlos Brown Show.
Next,
ESPN Nation was hosted by Jay Harris, Lisa Kerney, and Cari Champion outside with a very cooool breeze, but the FANS were fired up with excitement. Kingi Knox was on ESPN's SportsNation with FAN fun and was humbled to meet Jay Harris as she watched Jay take pictures with lots of FANS. SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp and Celebration Bowl Executive Director John Grant were interviewed on ESPN's SportsNation with FANS as a GREAT backdrop. Commissioner Sharp dedicated the Celeberation Bowl experience to the fans. Several Alcorn fans chanted, "we love SHARP!".
Next,
Kingi Knox returned to the Georgia Dome to watch an intensed game Coached by Jay Hopson for Alcorn and North Carolina A&T coached by Rod Broadway. Tarik Cohen won the Offensive MVP and Denzel Jones won the Defensive MVP.
Lastly,
Kingi Knox was able to personally interview MEAC Commissioner Dennis Tomas. "The turtle didn't get on the fence by his self. He needed help. That is how the Celebration Bowl got on ESPN. It took a team of people to make that happen", Commissioner Dennis Thomas. Commissioner Thomas encouraged dreamers to believe in yourself. The risk will out weight the REWARDS.
I hope you enjoyed your FANucation.
