We have and option GSU Also keep in mind we are paying VUL and W.Va State to come to Aggie land So why not try to get Grambling State University on the Schedule Or we can get that return game from Alcorn that we are owed That's IT RIGHT THERE! I forgot we went to Lorman, Ms., but they never returned the trip to "AGGIELAND" AGGIE PRIDE!

Playing ALcorn at this point in their program would be like playing VUL are W.Va State!Now if they bring their Band you may get alot more fans! GSU would be a better option for A&T that will Draw fans ! If A&T is not going with WSSU then it should be GSU!!

Why GSU as opposed to another team in the conference that would not count in the conference standings??

Exactly, they're FCS & SWAC Member, ALCORN owes us a HOME GAME ........and why is everyone stuck on "WSSU" we offered last year, and they said no, we're shouldn't keep "BEGGING" them! AGGIE PRIDE!

AGGIE PRIDE!I wouldn't call it begging, just offer them again. They say no, then we move on. It's just business. They aint making no money with that mess they playing right now(Pembroke and Concord), so you never know. If we do pick them up VUL or W VA State has to go in my opinion. We would still need to add a FCS opponent. At this point ANY FCS opponent would be great until we can get a money game. i would prefer in-state for a at least a little more gate money and not much travel on a return game. Its a long ways off, so........

Alcorn don't wanna play us , hence why they backed out the contract in the first place. Legal should have been took them to court for breech of contract

I dont know how GSU travels; but I did see them play live against Prarie View last year at the Texas State Fair Classic _ I was not impressed to the point that teams should stay away from them. I dont even think they would have beated BC or SC State

Its a long ways off, so........ I thought that we were talking about possible money games not just any game 8-)If it's just any game are team any FCS team in the area will do " why is everyone stuck on WSSU" Why not A&T vs WSSU is and will be a big money maker outside of the NCCU game and Homecoming As Monster stated no travel and more gate No begging here just look WSSU"S TEAM AND FANS ARE RIPE PICKINGS RIGHT NOW their Fans will travel because they are winning So why not kick that (A) and get that money

The WSSU game has always been a big game regardless of the records..... If we looking for cash and we can't go to playoffs next year, This has to be the most logical move

I'd offer WSSU $75k and if they don't take it move on.

I'm gonna make an assumption and say WSSU will be on the schedule next season and UVL or W. Va State will be dropped. So, there still may a hole in the schedule. I don't think they will be on the schedule if they are still demanding a return game. Wasn't that the issue, last July and Aug!Has Wild Bill changed his thinking?AGGIE PRIDE!

You will never no if you don't make a pitch to Wild Bill?? !! Decks is right offer WSSU 75k and if they decline it move on. Trust me If GSU ends up on the Schedule and A&T Markets the game as an EVENT and not just a game the fans will come out! You have two brand name University hooking up on the yard !! Come on man. GSU like A&T has and Enormous following and it would make for a good show playing them
