  KKDA's Reporters Roundtable with Cheryl Smith - Grambling State and Prairie View A&M Weekend
  

  The show opened with Bilal with health and Andrew with Black College Sports.

  This is Paul Quinn College week as students prepare for the Fall Semester. Classes start on October 5. President Michael Sorrell will be speaking at 2p.m. today.

  Did you see the FAMU v. Tennessee State University Game in Atlanta? The Battle of the Bands was wonderful!

  This morning I was flying in from Tampa where I was attending my Uncle David's funeral. He had a very positive impact on my life and I only hope the other men in my family will be strong, God-loving and family supporting men like him. My brother and I were staying with Uncle David and Aunt Anna Walker when we got to go see the Jackson Five and James Brown.

  Busby Sanders from Grambling State and Jordan Blair of Prairie View A&M talked about the big weekend. It was a spirited discussion as they challenged one another and predicted who was going to win the battle of the band and the football game this weekend:
