Yes, unfortunately it was an MEAC crew and on top of that the umpire, Greg Smith is an A&T alum and former Aggie football player.. How is this even possible.....it seems that this would be a conflict of interest as well as tainted our victory if we would have won! Sent from my SCH-I535 using proboards Happens all the time.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using proboards You'd be surprise at how many alums officiate their school's games...especially in football. I know for a fact that it happened a lot in the Big East and the Big Ten.

I know for a fact that it happened a lot in the Big East and the Big Ten. You would think that there would be rules against that...but then again I guess the referee pool is so small that it would be hard to limit? Thats just an assumption.

Greg Smith was not allowed to officiate NCAT games until he had been a MEAC ref for 10 years. I may be wrong on the time period involved but he gave me the time period a few years ago. But he did the WCU game when we beat them at their place. I think that was when he told me

To be honest with you I like it better when we don't have alums on the crew. Our guys go out of their way to prove that they are not showing favoritism sometimes to the point of negating home field advantage... JMO

5 turnovers, 2 of them inside the 10, and we sneak out with an ugly win when we played our worst game in about 2 years. Good luck the rest of the season guys. You have a lot more speed than I thought. sorry i'm late chiming in, but i was on the road yesterday returning home here in the dmv. nonetheless, why is it when an hbcu gives you guys all you can handle, you make an "excuse" that your team played their worst game in 2 years? odu's coach did the exact same thing when hampton put over 400 yards of offense up against them. why can't you just give our team credit for making your team look the way that it did?

Let it go oldschool. This guy is far from a coach. CCU head coach gave us true respect. This guy doesn't matter.
