The Eddie Robinson Museum on the Grambling State University campus honors a great American who coached the Grambling football program for over 50 years. Robinson was an incredibly-successful coach, who is currently the winningest college football coach in American history, but focusing on his football success would miss the basis of his true greatness. More than developing good football players, Robinson sought to develop men, setting standards of behavior and conduct for his players to enable them to succeed on or off the football field.

Oakhaven vs. Mitchell @ J.P. Freeman Stadium, Memphis, 2012
I went out to J. P. Freeman Stadium Thursday night to catch the Oakhaven-Mitchell game, and I was impressed by the musicianship of both bands, but especially Oakhaven, a band I had not heard before. Their repertoire includes both traditional marches and current hits, and they play cleanly and in tune. Memphis TN, 9/27/12
