Magic City Classic is must-win football wrapped in party atmosphere

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- It didn’t take James Spady long to start contributing to the Classic part of the Magic City Classic, or to know how vitally important the game was to his career and his constituents.

Day one on the job as Alabama A&M’s head football coach, he already knew the importance of the game.

“Since I first got off the plane in Huntsville, I have heard about the Classic,” Spady said.

He heard about it at the tent revival that was his press conference. He heard about it at the VIP reception at the downtown hotel two weeks later. He heard about it in the campus meeting room when fans gathered to hear reports from his first recruiting class.
