None of the above, my man...Dear ol' N.C. A&T is what I use to call home... Maybe a lil' hate...but never enough to wish ill-will on their program like this... The FAMU board at the Tallahassee Democrat... Where'd you go? You a Georgetown Man? |

that makes sense...aggy pryd. yeah, there is bound to be some hate, particularly on the gridiron. hahahahah
i used to go to that board more and participate, now i just pretty much lurk. ive been relying on fellow alums who are down there for inside scoop now.
the thing is, there are few people really close to the programs, and much of what folks post is pure speculation, on the tdo board, imo.
when the dust settles, we may be back to d2. its really embarassing. along with the administrative 'issues' being faced.
but one thing...i though aggies were a texas thing, not a north carolina deal. is that like a team in illinois calling themselves the gators? hahahahahaha

Utah State could have been renamed - there were a lot of A&M schools that were renamed "state" later in their history - i believe this is the case with Kansas State and Oklahoma State who ocassionally will refer to themselves as the aggies if you listen to their fightsongs, radio broadcasts, etc.

Clemson was an A&M at one point while it was still all-male and military. |
