Richardson honored by Southern

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- Southern University and Pete Richardson finally got together Saturday.

Richardson, whose 17-year tenure ended when he was fired after a 6-5 record in 2009, did not attend ceremonies earlier this academic year to honor teams that he coached to Black National Football Championships in 1993 and 2003.
