Prairie View A&M football: Panthers survive unique challenge from heated rival
Prairie View A&M's staff didn't necessarily know what Texas Southern would look like under Clarence McKinney, but the Panthers survived some early struggles.
The Labor Day Classic is one of the most underrated rivalries in the state of Texas. While the rivalry between Prairie View A&M and Texas Southern dates to 1947, the Labor Day Classic did not begin until 1985.
