February 8, 2008 – ATLANTA -- Morehouse College has released its 2008 football schedule.

The 10-game schedule features nine conference games and two classics. Only three of the games will be played at Morehouse’s B.T. Harvey Stadium.

In 2007, under first-year head coach Rich Freeman, the Morehouse College Maroon Tigers compiled a record of 7-3 (4-3 SIAC).

Morehouse’s 4-3 conference record was good enough for fourth place in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and was well ahead of the tenth-place finish predicted by SIAC football coaches in a preseason poll.

For the second time in three years, the Maroon Tigers will travel to California to play in the Los Angeles Coliseum. This year’s event is the Angel City Classic, which will pit the SIAC against the SWAC.

On September 27, Morehouse will square off against the Panthers of Prairie View A&M University, of the Southwest Athletic Conference. In 2006, the Maroon Tigers played at the coliseum against Alcorn State University, in the now-defunct Silver Dollar Classic.

Continuing the oldest rivalry in black-college football, Morehouse will once again compete against Tuskegee, in the 73rd Annual Tuskegee-Morehouse Classic, in Columbus, GA., on October 11, at 2 p.m.

The Morehouse Homecoming game will be October 25, at 2 p.m. against the Golden Rams of Albany State.
