Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the postponement of football in the fall by HBCU conferences, BOXTOROW, a subsidiary of DWCommunications, LLC, is postponing its HBCU football daily podcast.
Hosted by FROM THE PRESS BOX TO PRESS ROW host Donal Ware, now in its fourth season, the podcast has already previewed 20 of the 52 HBCU football playing schools. The podcast began on June 16 with a preview of Alcorn State and the last podcast posted on July 22 with a preview of Prairie View A&M. Ware talked with the head coaches of each school with the exception of Texas College and Alcorn State. The Braves were previewed with longtime play-by-play voice Charles Edmond. All 20 podcasts from this year can still be heard, in addition to all of the podcasts going back to 2017.
The podcast hopes to return early in 2021 and an announcement will be made once the podcast returns.
The podcast began three years ago, promoting 125 years since the first football game between HBCUs took place when on December 27, 1892 in Salisbury, NC, Livingstone College and Biddle College (now Johnson C. Smith) played, with JCSU winning the contest 5-0.
The podcasts can be downloaded or listened to on the official Website of the national sports talk show FROM THE PRESS BOX TO PRESS ROW, boxtorow.com as well as on Apple Podcasts , and can be listened to via iHeartMedia.
BOXTOROW can be followed on social media; on Twitter @boxtorow; on Instagram boxtorow; and on Facebook box2row Use #HBCU128 when using social media.
