Southern University's New Head Football Coach and former Washington Redskins' Assistant Coach Stump Mitchell received a big Texas-sized welcome this weekend. First, the Golden Triangle Southern University Alumni Chapter (which I'm proud to say I'm president of) hosted a dinner for him and his coaching staff along with Athletic Director Greg Lafleur. We also welcomed Alumni Staff. The event took place at Madison's on Friday. The visit is part of a regional alumni tour to get folks excited about the upcoming football season and to raise money for a new football field. Our chapter presented a check to kickoff the fundraiser. This was followed by the HBCU Alumni Mixer which was attended by community leaders and graduates from the various Black colleges including Grambling, Jackson State, TSU, and Prairie View, just to name a few. The next day, the SU group attended the Houston Alumni chapter's annual Crawfish Boil and Fish Fry at Kitty Hollow Park. The event which I also attended is one the chapter's biggest fundraisers which draws hundreds of people. The weekend turned out great for alumni and coaching staff. We want Coach Mitchell to know that the Jaguar Nation is behind him 100 percent and we're looking forward to a great season!
