Wanda Dickens would admit to a bit of bias, but she thinks her late husband was the number-one fan of the Magic City Classic at least among those wearing Alabama State University’s (ASU’s) black and gold.
“He never missed a Classic that I’m aware of. He always supported it wholeheartedly,” she said of her husband, Reginald Dickens, who passed away on Nov. 24, 2020. “He took off a whole week every time they had a Classic.”
The 79th McDonald’s Magic City Classic presented by Coca-Cola will be held on Saturday, April 17, at Birmingham’s Legion Field; kickoff is at 6:30 p.m.
