The offense improved this week...whup-tee-dew!
...Man, when I read that quote by ohsixrain, I was ROFL. Ya'll are too funny on here... -Even though WE LOST, We outscored them in the last three quarters 6-16, "whup-tu-dee-dew!!!" LOL
No, on a serious note, let's all be strong and stand behind and beside this these student athletes and their coaches in the trenches as we do for our beloved University b/c we ALL want to be successful. Those of you who have access to them should rally and encourage them because I do believe that they work hard at what they do, whether the philosophy works or not. Things will not be like this always. The media has enough fun scrutinizing our University. Apparently, those of us who believe PRAYER need to pray that God places favor and wisdom in the minds of those in authority to better use our talent and our resources (both financial and human). Unlike the Eagles, I refuse to sit back and watch the integrity and winning heritage of Aggie Sports DIE. Sign me up for the Aggie Club, Victory Club, Aggie Live Wires, whatever. AGGIES and A&T is NOT dead (Was anyone else offended with "DOA"?) We need the FAVOR of God with us right now with the mental motivation and physical health of players and coaches as well as favor in recruiting this off season. We need a fresh rejuvenation (CPR) in everything from our pep squad in their recruitment efforts to sports marketing/media and just start from scratch... but "whup-tee-dew" was funny though.

EXACTLY! You will be in Indy, you will be @ homecoming, you were @ Central....etc etc etc.... I just don't understand, if you are so tired and negative then BOUNCE! Hell, if the McDonald's on Summitt Ave. moves any slower I'm going to STOP GOING! I'm not going to B*TCH ALL THE D*MN TIME like I'm a french frie gurue! Hell if I were then I would be working there! If you know so much about football, this that & the 3rd then PLEASE write the OC directly! As a metter of fact, GO to his office and talk to him in your free time! Make suggestions, I'm sure he's up to it. Hell he has to have alot of free time since according to you all we suck so bad so he can't possibly be doing anything in his office all day! actually, Indy will be my last game this year. I will take a quote from Dooms in this situation. "When I and others stop complaining is when you need to worry. As long as we are complaining then we give a damn. " You cant tell a man that payed $30 he cant complain afterwards. Thats what's bull$h*t. Whats funny to me is how you and a few others act like its not possible that this guy could actually suck. I do know football, so I know a well coached team when I see one. At any level. "Averaging 10 yards on first down"..... ROFL.

repost from the Meac Page While at Central I was forced to come to a couple conclusions one of which has already been mentioned here. 1. Coach Lee and his entire staff are in over their head. The comedy of errors called a football game cannot be blamed on those kids….there were serious coaching inadequacies. If the guy on the sideline is the OC…he is simply horrible. There was no organization in the play calling…I was truly offended….player for player we are heads and shoulders above central (the pregame was great…but stuffing all those fans into that stadium was very dangerous…me and my family left early). Coach Lee appeared to be involved in every play call offence, defense and special teams. WTH is up with that….oh yeah and did they watch film at all…. 2. Wheeler Brown seems like a likable guy with a “great smile” but has shown to be a poor decision maker….I believe he is ill prepared to be the AD…yeah I said it
If it were up to me I would fire the ad and truly conduct a national search (without race preference)….and let the new AD make a judgment on Coach Lee(fire him after his contract is up). It’s hard to believe that we cannot find a coach…Elon, Coastal, UNC Pembroke….they all did But I am just a loyal alum and fan…but this is sad….

#43 is my hero, what class is he? I'm looking for big things from that young man. I've been impressed the 3 games I witnessed with his speed and ball hawkness(word?). Defense is fine. Score more than 2 offensive TDs/game and we are definitely 3-1. Damn, just found out he a senior, oh well. So much for my positive. 43 is the MAN!

I agree jbrob, #43 is the man!
Also, for some others, one or two disgruntled folks will not stop this Aggie-train.

look, let's stop knocking morgan. no, he's not an all world qb. but at least he gives us a legit chance to win. if i'm not mistaken, he's completing 50% or more of his passes and that's not bad. and believe it or not, he's not the worst starting qb in the meac. morgan is not the primary reason we're losing games. we're losing games because overall as a team, we're beating ourselves. we lack discipline and we have breakdowns at crucial phases of the game.
if i were coaching, i'd spend less time on fancy new schemes and new plays because fancy schemes and new plays don't cause 7 turnovers, game costing missed tackles, and over 100 yards in penalties. what we need to do is go back to the basics! tackle drill these guys to death until they stop missing tackles. ball handle drill these guys to death until they stop fumbling. shot gun hike these guys to death until they stop hiking the ball over the qb's head. get these guys in the film room, study those momentum stopping penalties, and figure out how to become the least penalized team in the meac.
what we need to do is eliminate "self inflicted" mistakes. good tackling against winston during the closing minutes of that game and we win! no turnovers instead of 7 and 20 yards in penalties instead of 120 and we "easily" beat central. if you look at the stats, we outplayed central in every statistical category except turnovers, penalties, and the scoreboard. our offense outgained central 320 yards to 231 and we had balance, both rushing and passing the ball (give berry credit). but we had 7 turnovers and central had none. that's where the game was loss.
other than the turnovers against central, we've really only played 1 unbearable half of football and that was the 2nd half of the hampton game. if coach lee and the staff can sit these guys down and have a heart to heart talk, not cussing and fussing, but a heart to heart meeting of the minds, then just maybe we'll represent ourselves well in nap town. cleanup the basics, stop beating ourselves, and perhaps we can turn this ship in the right direction...

We are not bashing Morgan. At least Im not. I just said he wasn't a "World Beater". The Meac really doesn't have any of those right now, so he is an average MEAC QB is what I was saying. He needs to be helped out by the OC and have the game managed for him. Thats all.

yeah, but i think we need to back off of the oc as well. i mean, no one is more upset about losing than i am. but you've got to give berry some credit.
let's criticize when justified. but some folk just criticize because its convenient. berry's offense generated 320 yards of offense against central, including 211 on the ground and 109 in the air on 52% passing. the only thing to criticize the offense for is turnovers and not enough points. the oc isn't solely responsible for the 7 to's. folk complained that we couldn't pass, well now we can pass. they said we couldn't run the football, well now we can run the football. folk said we didn't get other backs involved, well now we've gotten other backs involved. just can't please everybody.
i'm just saying, berry is not the blame for saturday's loss. in fact, his offense moved the ball and outgained central's. if berry's the o-line coach, i'd say his guys did a pretty decent job except for the poor snaps. nobody affiliated with the football team is blameless. but berry doesn't deserve the bulk of the criticism this week...

I dont think people judged Berry from 1 outing. Its been his body of work. One game cant make you a guru the same goes for 1 bad game doesn't mean you suck. Like your quoting all this great yardage against NCCU I could easily point out that WSSU and APP had waaaay more points against NCCU.
You acting like I'm posting this after 1 or 2 losses. This is 4 straight. Or loss number 7 if you want to go back to last year.
The one thing your right about is that no one is blameless.
Please shut me up Berry!

a lot of that is because we coughed up the ball 7 times. hard to score when you donate 7 of your possessions to the other team and most in scoring position for them. also consider berry had to changeup his offense midstream because of kindle's injury 2 weeks before opening day. not an easy adjustment when you have a drop off at that position. again, i can't sit here and act like berry has been perfect. but he's been dealt a difficult hand to play from.
offensively, i don't see much to complain about in the central game except of course the to's. could berry have prevented dude from snapping the ball over morgan's head? you're probably thinking, yes he could've by taking snaps under center. but then you'd be criticizing him for no wildcat formations or shotgun formations.
let's just see how our offense looks against tsu. there's been steady improvement from the offense. if they continue to do so, i guess ya'll will still criticize berry. we need our position coaches to get these to's under control and berry needs to get his snapper straight...

that sounds like the same song we sang in 2007, 2008, and 2009. But if thats what you will except then fine. We have lost to WSSU, NCCU, and are 0-4. Nothing they can do will fix this season except for winning the rest. our remaining schedule is a beast.

ab, sometimes a team can find its way after a horrendous start. the team just needs a spark. as long as they don't start pointing fingers at each other and the coaching staff doesn't allow the players' attitudes to run amuck, there's still a chance we can turn things around. i think a lot will ride on this upcoming tsu game...

oleschool...i can't take no more...i sat quietly but, i can't!!! first things first...you know what the makings of a bad play is??? not getting the play in on time...it leads to players not being in the correct formation, it leads to a rushed snapped and it leads penalties. that's solely on the play-caller (oc). the majority of our miscues came from that situation alone...so when we did make errors in the normal course of the game, they became magnified. i can live with an error of a player trying to gain an extra yard as opposed to an error because of our coaches. but to me, the solution to a problem like that is simply get the play in sooner. now, maybe there are some things preventing that...but whose fault is that if not Berry's? yours, mine, the band??? i'm not criticizing because there's nothing else to do....our problem areas on our team should be fixed by now, in my opinion. most of those problems are mental errors.
