Now you all know that to my family, \u201cfootball\u201d was soccer. The one and only time my Tobagonian dad made it out onto a football field, that I know of, was when I was up for homecoming queen in high school.\u00a0 My Trini mom? Forget about it.\u00a0 They made it back to a field just one more time to watch me as a cheerleader in my first homecoming game in college.\u00a0 They had no idea what was going on.\u00a0 It was really kind of funny to hear their game summary\u2026 which had nothing to do with the actual game.\u00a0 They are both Howard University graduates \u2013 I don\u2019t think they attended any football games.","og_url":"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/atat-nations-football-classicr-ticket-giveaway-howard-vs-hampton\/","og_site_name":"Socamom","article_publisher":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/socamomdotcom","article_published_time":"2015-09-05T00:00:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-09-05T04:02:16+00:00","og_image":[{"width":400,"height":373,"url":"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/howard_game_socamom.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Eva Wilson","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@socamomdc","twitter_site":"@socamomdc","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Eva Wilson","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/atat-nations-football-classicr-ticket-giveaway-howard-vs-hampton\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/atat-nations-football-classicr-ticket-giveaway-howard-vs-hampton\/"},"author":{"name":"Eva Wilson","@id":"https:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/#\/schema\/person\/ae448fb8a8731a8ff788972ac8b57980"},"headline":"[GIVEAWAY CLOSED] AT&#038;T Nation\u2019s Football Classic\u00ae Ticket Giveaway &#8211;
