This page by Southern University gives an overview of Bayou Classic history.  This page has a list of the games and their outcomes.  I could not find a list of the MVP's, but you can look at old newspaper articles to find the information you need.

We have two sources for you to use to find these articles.  They are both online newspaper collections.  To access them, go to our website, click "The Digital Library," click "By Subject," then "Newspapers & Magazines."  Or go to this link.

The first one for you to look at is called Advocate Historical Archive.  This has The Advocate for 1925-1985 and The Times Picayune for 1837-1988.  Try typing "Bayou Classic" in the search bar, then type "1980-1987" in the Custom Date Range box, then click the "Newspaper Titles" tab to check off The Advocate and the Times-Pic.  Finally, click "Search" at the top to run this search.

The next resource is called Newsbank.  It has the Advocate from 1986 to the present.  You can search for "Bayou Classic" there and type in 1986-1987 as your custom date range.

Please let us know if you need help or have any more questions!
