That being said I don't think it's good to label a whole group of fans as "ghetto" because maybe 30 people (if that many) out of 25,000 plus don't possess decorum. I'm not labeling the entire group of 25,000 plus as "ghetto", I'm speaking about the ones who were raising a ruckus. My bad, maybe I should have clarified that, but didn't know you would be critiquing my opinion about the incident. But let me assure you, it was a lot more than 30 of them.

The exact same thing happened in '99 at FAMU. Except the band would not let the team leave the field after pregame warmups. Bill Hayes insisted that the team continue to the through the band to the locker room, and boy did they ever. FAMU's definitely got the homefield advantage down in that mini version of the Orange Bowl. Good job Fobbs and Brown for showing the rattlers how class looks.

The marchin 100 or 290, whatever they are, didn't want to tussle with the 99 squad. Them boys were big and mean. I wouldn't want to tussel against any football team with 290 band geeks behind me. Not to mention almost half of that being female.

380 in the Marching 100 plus a couple alums who were marching with them for Homecoming, that's not a fight in our favor.

I agree aggiemike because the PA guy and the crowd kept hyping it up when our guys refused to back down. it was a scary & classic moment all at the same time. This team is on a mission, you may not like the record but you gotta love the product Again, I know this isn't the firing squad, but you've got to be F*&%n kidding me. Whatever mission this team and staff is on, I dont want to be anywere close. A mission to hell..What about an 0-22 football product should anyone who ever stepped foot on A&T's campus like ?! Please answer me that.. Jeez Louiiiise !!!

Aw hell, you knew I'd be critiquing. I just hate to have stuff exaggerated. It reminds me of the band "fight."

jaffe,
Sometimes it's like this, either you with us or you're not. A committed Aggie supports no matter what! You have to take the good with the bad. The difference is you stay committed and supportive. Change will come! Those in charge will do what's neccessary, including the Chancelor/President.

Mr. Joffa, what the heck is your real problem with this team or coaches, do you have that much dislike for this school,ad,coach,team or whatever it is, that you cannot see anything half way good with this program. I have never asked or even implied that ANYONE!!!!, not even myself accept losing, as i have often said, i have only been on this gasoline ride for 10 games and cannot even begin to imagine what 0-26 feels like, but i do know what 0-10 feels like,and i refuse to hang my head after each game and whine like a loser, these guys have played their hearts out lately & the fans that have seen every play this season understand what i'm talking about , this team will finally win and the faithful will be happy & celebrate, this team will lose and the faithful will be mad & complain, I truly believe, as do my son and his teammates that this team will once again make it to the top. When this happens Mr.Joffa, do me a favor and don't jump on the bandwagon, and if we never win again i'll do you a favor and not jump on yours, even if it appears that yours is not as full as it once was. I am not trying get anything started, but just as this team took a stand on saturday, i will always take a stand for this this team PERIOD!!!!!!!! Thank-you

Mr. DaddyofBigE, I would love to answer your question. But please tell me, what good have you seen ..And before you say we'e been competitive, we have talent on par or better with almost every team we've played. Ive never discredited or said anything bad about the players performance, just the way that we've been prepared and play selection schemes. I am taking a stand for this team just as you, the only difference is is that I realize that the current leadership has not, will not, and doesnt have the mental and coaching capacity to get it done. These are D1 athletes, not pop warner kids, so I'm not buyiing your grife with people complaining about losing. If you knew the way that this staff treated some of the kids, and the behind the scenes shadiness going on, you wouldnt be so apt to be on their bandwagon. I would love to discuss further and have more points, but I'm at work and returning from lunch. Again, I dont have a problem with a single player on this team, but this coaching staff is dispicable. I wish your son well and hope that he gets better during the offseason. -Stay Tunes, THe Movement Continues
