77- Aggie - for your information I attended every game that was played at Elon. I remember the first time we played them in a dingy high school with poor parking and surroundings. I remember walking a long distance just to get to that run down stadium. Our side was packed. I have also tailgated at every game at Elon except one. Aggies represented greatly in the tailgate at their place. We don't get the same respect. We are getting pimped and if you can't see that then you must be from Mars. People on this site have been talking about doing a great promotions job for this series. Why do you think they want better promotions - money and fans. The more fans they bring to our stadium the more money we make. If they brought 5,000 fans they will still be out numbered. So, I don't see your reasoning there about they will have an advantage. I want you to know that I am a die hard Aggie and have been one since the early 60's so you won't see me helping no opposing team do decorations. I can't believe you said something that low. I was an Aggie when you were boo booing 'yellow'. So don't you ever try to low rate me or anyone else on this site just because you disagree. I am not against this game at all. I believe we need to play better teams than VUL and West Va. I just believe that Elon can do a better job of representing when they come to Aggie Land.

I'm tired of seeing post about what the other schools should do to represent their schools, when they come to play at Aggie Stadium . That's a lot of BS !! It is not their responsibility to fill Aggie stadium it's A & T's responsibility!! A lot of us need to cut the crap and be real about it . If A & T can't fill the stadium with their own people HOW IN THE (H) CAN YOU ASK A LITTLE SCHOOL LIKE ELON TO HELP FILL IT FOR YOU??? Come on people. IT'S NOT ABOUT THEM IT'S ABOUT US!!!!!

Apparently you still don't get the point, and obviously don't appreciate sarcasm. The point is, it is not ELON's responsibility to get people into Aggie Stadium. I'm not questioning your Aggie Pride, I'm questioning your logic. You can't make ELON, DSU, Hampton, or any other school support their team like Aggies do. Can we agree on that? It's not that "we" are getting pimped, that your opinion, not shared by me and many others including the leaders of our University. So, if you feel you are getting pimped, I suggest you stop (that's a hint sarcasm in case you missed it). This game is on the schedule, we're up first, anything not promoting its success is counter-productive. Can we agree on that?

77 - It is evident you and Saabman don't get the point. You have your views and I and a few more have our views. End of subject.

A&T relies on WSSU, NCCU & SC State to help with their bottom lines. Why do you think they were and are called money games. What is the difference with Elon? Nothing!! You have your flawed and crazy opinions and I have mine. And this is one of them... ;D

Come on lets all just hug and get along.
I cant say how many fans we will bring, but it will not be as bad as in the past we were a growing program then.

You said you had buses when you came the first couple of times. I think they stopped the buses the last couple of times, which may explain some of the drop off. Do you know if they had fan buses the last time Elon came to A&T?

I cannot remember where we were bussed in 05. Im not sure what our plans are to bus students but we usually do 1 per season.

Me too Decks. As AM has stated, energetic marketing will make this game large.

blackie,
They get your point, like I, they just don't agree with you. It's like you have an expectation of visiting teams to pack the visitors side of the stadium because their school is 20 miles east. Who cares, the less of them makes more room for our fans to come in and cheer us on to victory.
