Looking at their board they are as excited about this as we are. Congrats to Aggie Athletics according to their board this took a lot of time to negotiate.
ESPN is probably going to air this game because they know what it is.
The band should totally go. Who else can say they even went to the State of N. Dakota let alone have the opportunity to play there at the Fargo Dome.
Unless I'm dead I'm there.

I agree, money is important, but your brand is more important. We're traveling to Charleston, Liberty, and NDSU, is it to be assumed that Charleston and Liberty will give us return games? I don't really see us utilizing our leverage to get these schools to come to us first and then we return the game to them. I'd rather pay CIAA teams to come to Aggie Stadium, that's investing in our communities. .... Charleston...probably Liberty is FBS....so no return there Yes, if you're making it a priority, and when the opportunity presents itself.

You all sound so excited I am not. I just not sure what kind of team we going to be in 2020. I dont like going to a Big time school and get blown out. That team we took to UNC was a joke. Had we played UNC last year or this year it would had been completely different.

Had we played UNC last year or this year it would had been completely different. Hopefully we will be pass the doomsday predictions in 2020. Every year we think the opponent is bigger than last year and our guys might be in over their head.. Charlotte was no Kent State, ECU was no Charlotte were going to get killed. Every year those young men step it up and defy the odds. Duke want be ECU and NDSU want be Jax State.. but I'm like coach. "Those teams are talented and strong, but so are we let's put the ball down and play" #AggieDo

Had we played UNC last year or this year it would had been completely different. I have my reservations for 2019 based on experience, not talent. I have no reservations about our potential for 2020. In fact, I believe that the 2020 squad will be good enough to take down CSU, Liberty & NDSU and maybe even surpass the 2017 squad as the greatest in A&T history. It's really about development & maturity in 2019 that (hopefully) results in another MEAC championship.

If we're healthy, we'll have a chance of going 3 - 0!

I dont know how in the hell you can figure that out we don't know what kind team we will have this year let along 2020. Losing 16 starters 2019 2020 year: No E. Bell no Baker no Ron Hunt no kittles no pettiford Defensive front four is gone this year who knows about next year. A. Wilder LB will be gone. McCain (may or maynot be back his senior) Who knows about our QB(carter gone) three star ECU QB/Jalen F. who knows about them. Theirs to much unknown to even make a assumption we going to be a great team 2020. Not to mention our football staff. Expect every year a change in our staff. I know Ron Mattes will not be coaching at A&T 2020.

Had we played UNC last year or this year it would had been completely different. The good news...we're rebuilding this season so we should be in much better shape in 2020. DurhamsoAggie has assured us that 2020 is our year and I trust his assessment!

I know Ron Mattes will not be coaching at A&T 2020. We'll still have: RB: Martin WR: Leslie, Lockhart, Bah and new guy Baldwin... will get a chance to see Wiz Vaughn/Israel Spivey/Chance Pride TE/HB: TeVaughn Higgins... think he's going to be really good OL: Dontae Keys, Dac Wilson, Dejour Simpson, Tim Williams, Lawrence Legrone, and the big JUCO transfer we picked up DL: Artavious Richardson, Devin Harrell, Shomari Wallace, Tyquan Johnson, Karfa Kaba... all another 2 offseasons in the S&C program. 2019 is a big year for them LB: Kyin Howard, Chris Williams, Zareik Rush, Keandre Jones.... this is where this defense really changes. Big LBs who can move. 2019 is a big year for them CB: Mac (penciling him in), Amir McNeil, Derrik Williams... might be the best CBs in FCS in 2020. Seriously S/R: Joe Stuckey, Miles Simon (think he'll be a FS by 2020), Will Jones K: Noel Ruiz... senior P: Michael Rivers... junior And QB... whoever emerges between Ifedi & Fowler in 2019 is going to be a darn good QB in 2020. Just know that. We got a LOT of talent in the pipeline. It's going to be kinda green in 2019. I expect us to be ripe in 2020.

I swear you all are like those people that carry baggage into their next relationships always saying what happened when you were with your last partner and making the current partner suffer. The era of 2004-2010 has permanently scarred you all. This isn't the error of Fobbs, Lee, Small. this is NOW and We are as good as advertised. We are the Alabama and Clemson of Black college football. Since the BCS College football playoffs have been in existence Alabama has been in everyone Clemson has been in all but one. Since the Celebration bowl has been in existence A&T has been in all but one (not to mention we have won every CB we've played) and that one year we were not there we was in the FCS playoffs. This was coach Washingtons first year as a head coach and he still went 10-2. Accept it. Live in it. Cherish this new relationship and stop looking back, and enjoy the Golden era of Aggie Football. In Earl we Trust of Aggie Athletics.
