GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- After a tumultuous and rather chaotic start to the year, homecoming can’t come soon enough for Grambling’s football program.Pick any negative adjective to describe the Tigers’ season and it would fit perfectly like a puzzle piece.
It all started when legendary player and coach Doug Williams was fired. Then the team went on a five-game losing streak, boycotted practice, got the interim coach removed and forfeited a game.
Yet the players and coaches still have something to prove, and what better stage to do that in front of one of the largest crowds of the season — this Saturday at home against Mississippi Valley State.
“There’s no better time to win it than on homecoming in front of your home alumni, the alumni in California, Georgia, Dallas area,” interim coach Dennis Winston said. “We just want to win the football game for everybody and ourselves and want to represent Grambling State University the best we can.”
