Tennessee State is celebrating 100 years as a university. As part of the festivities, the Division I-AA program has decided to honor some of its greats on the 2012 poster schedule. Coach John Merritt, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Claude Humphrey, Richard Dent, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Joe Gilliam Jr. and Eldridge Dickey are among those featured in the background.

Will coach Joe Gilliam Senior's visage/picture be included on this poster? or the First football coach at our school be included? As I remember my history, the first homecoming game was held in 1925 between Tennessee State and Fisk. Whom was the first football coach at Tennessee State Normanl or A and I or what we were called when we first started football at TSU? That will be a great take on history, football and the historic games being held during this, our centennial celebration of the founding of the Tennessee State University!!! GO TIGERS!
