Valley opens 2013 season against Florida A&M

GREENWOOD, Miss. - Mississippi Valley State Athletics Director Ashley Robinson says Delta Devils' football season-opener against Florida A&M will give the school national television exposure.

"This is our chance to show the world what Valley is about, and we don't plan on disappointing," Robinson told a Greenwood civic club this week.

Valley will play Florida A&M in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Orlando, Fla., on Sept. 1. Robinson says it will be telecast on ESPN.

"Just to put in perspective about how big a game this is," Robinson said, "that day when you get home from church and sit down to relax there'll be only one college football game on TV. It won't be LSU. It won't be Alabama or USC. Nope, not Ole Miss or Mississippi State either. It'll be that quiet up-and-coming school down the road - Mississippi Valley State."
