Actually the entrance into the stadium( practice field side)only had two lines open/scanning people. It was a bottleneck. I remember at least four being open in the past. On a better note, is it me or did it seem like the bend in the horse-shoe (the student area) was packed! I know that the sun is no joke-(facing it.) It definitely was...that is what 16K in attendance looks like

That “bend in the horseshoe” looked really packed on TV! I just wish that, once it gets dark, they could position and use a camera on the east side of the stadium to do shots showing the packed stands on the press box (west) side.

Bell's catch was the number 5 play on ESPN top plays. Saw it... was on College Football Final Top Plays.

The concession situation is pitiful. I refuse to support bad service! I bet there's a dozen Black owned food trucks that would love an opportunity to serve our fans. I really like the idea augmenting the concessions with food trucks inside the stadium. It would ease the wait times, provide some variety, add capacity, and be an additional revenue stream. It would have to be done carefully, but it could really enhance the atmosphere and strengthen the bonds with the community. It would also be another economic engine for a few of those local vendors that do Homecoming every year. It's worth giving serious thought to. If we select vendors the have unique and delicious food choices, it could become a staple of the game day atmosphere at A&T. totally agree! i luv my folks, but i "refuse" to stand in those long concession lines and miss darn near half the ball game...

He was interviewed after the game and seemed fine. If Carter's not turning the laces out that's probably not something Ruiz is going to share during interview time. If we don't see Carter holding next time we'll know what happened. I agree, not one of the coaches in the stands was close enough (that is on the field) to see the ball or how Carter handled the snap. However, we do know that Bush received the snap, and place the ball well enough for an excellent kick. I also agree that Luiz isn't the type to point a finger. Whatever went wrong, will be kept in house. i listened to the replay on espn3 and the color commentator "predicted" just before ruiz kicked the 52 yarder that he would make it because he felt that ruiz had a "better angle" (better placement of the ball on the hash mark) for the 52 yarder than his other two tries...

...but is that what happened? It’s standard knowledge to have the laces away from the kicker. If Carter was doing that, he shouldn’t even be out there. However, I never read or heard that was the issue. I’m going to leave that issue up to the special teams staff....

Elon fans continue to compliment us on A&T's gameday atmosphere. This might be a special season atmosphere-wise.

I enjoyed seeing all the young kids having fun, made some future Aggies im sure.
