and all the fans and your 90 year old aunt have NEVER been a head coach at this level and its a reason for that. Like i stated earlier you act like A&T is a football power and they are used to winning conference championships every year. Quit kidding yourself and lying to yourself he has taking them to uncharted territory. EVERYBODY knows everything about football watching in the stands. People sleep on how good central was. They should be undefeated in FCS competition this year. They got cheated vs Cookman when replay clearly showed the scored and the officials called the RB down.

Central has a good football team.

kb31 it is obvious you have never coached a down on this level also.
We may not be a power house but common sense is a factor in coaching and our coach did not use it today.

We are playing for the out right championship and our coach and his staff sucked today.

Bad play calling, conservative tired predictable plays and the best quarterback riding the pines.

I might not have coached on this level and 99% of our fans including you have not either. But I bet the majority of us would have put Carter in the game earlier.

Common Damn Sense!!

Well I am so glad I missed this crap today. If we luck up and get picked for the Celebration Bowl, I'm going to save my money and stay home. Not interested in seeing this team again this year.

I guess we should be happy with where our program is but these losses at the end of season to NCCU tarnish everything.

Now we've got to endure our sorry basketball program.

I'm with you on this one. It puts a bad taste in my mouth to lose to the buzzards.

I am not a football coach but I apply common sense to my work environment. How do u play a running QB that isnt 100 percent for three quarters? Someone answer that question for me.

[VA's Finest]

The more i think about it i believe our wait may he longer than Monday because of the sagarin rating formula.

In this instance, bcu rating is based on the results of their non conference FCS win Grambling. They play at least one more game, the Bayou classic and potentially the SWAC championship game, which is weeks away.

I dont know but i would assume some portion of the rating is based on how your opponents fare. In this case, if Grambling continues to win then that has to help BCU.

So then the announcement of participants in the CB may not be known until after the SWAC Championship game. If ao how does that affect practice schedules.

We loss and it sucks, but it's nothing to really trip out over. NCCU had everything to gain and we had little to lose besides bragging rights compared to last year with play off hopes on the line. We see now that we have a QB that can take us far especially with a young OL that has improved and will only get better. Yes, I put this game on the coaches. I don't think the play calls sucked if Carter was running those plays. They should've put Carter in after halftime at the latest. Even the announcers complained about the plays we ran in the redzone with Carter but it still worked. Us as fans are game day bleacher or recliner coaches, we have no clue what they ran in practice. Maybe the coaches saw an opportunity to pull something off that was rehearsed well in practice based on the situation.

Us being repeat CoChamps with winning seasons will hopefully help us out more with recruiting. We're going to struggle even more with recruiting in state against NCCU, but to our advantage at least recruits know that they will get playing time. Being in the CB(hopefully) with national exposure and a good showing will only benefit us that much more.

Even though we lose the big games against NCCU, we still have a lot in place established to beat out the competition. Game attendance, wonderful facilities, and AGGIE PRIDE!!! We're trending in the right direction. We beat everybody except UNC and NCCU. That means a lot.

I do believe Coach Broadway is stubborn as a mule which makes growing in certain areas hard. That's what you get with a veteran coach. You can't tell "old poeple" nothing lol they already know everything. We're all guilty of it. Enough humble pie servings will change that. As the old saying goes "Offense sales tickets, defense wins championships". He hasn't gone wrong lol we definitely won 2 back to back.

Hoping these back to back losses change his opinion a little more. There's always a transition process. He's getting better each year, the records prove it.

CONGRATS FOOTBALL TEAM!! WE'RE STILL CHAMPS! while NCCU season is done, we still have more possibly to prove while being one of the first HBCUs to participate in a bowl game sponsored by ESPN on (what little unknown channel was that again?) and make money while gaining more national exposure!

AGGIES STILL MAKING HISTORY!!!

Now ask yourself, what did we really lose?

As far as our mens BBall team smh, I need yall help, knowledge and experience to try to stay positive with that. From my perspective it looks all around bad(I'm still in my 20s). I think the women will improve over time as they always have. I was there with Jerry Eaves, we had some great teams that sucked in the tournament. At least their regular season play kept us as students wanting to see them play at all the home games. Now we're down right pathetic. I don't even care to stream the games anymore. That's what we really need to be concerned about as oppose to ripping our MEAC Championship football team apart lol.

[919aggie05]

"What did we really lose?" BRAGGING RIGHTS!

See, the thing is NCCU was just a few years ago Division 2 CIAA. Now they're in our conference and have taken the MEAC by storm. What the **** can we say when they're dragging us up and down the court in basketball and now kicking our *** in football now.

Now, we have to deal and listen to all the trash talk and bragging for another 365 days and beyond from NCCU. And there's nothing we can say!

I think for most born and bred, blue and gold bleeding Aggies, losing to NC Central brings very dark clouds over the season. The hatred is real. Winning Homecoming and beating NCCU REMAIN football priorities REGARDLESS of the record IMO. I think NCCU is who's really trending upward and FAST.

[TOPPDOGG]

We fell in the Sagarin ratings to 154, but that's still a good 20 places above Bethune. So, we're off to the ATL. I hope we find some offense by then.

The reason why the dirty bird beat us is because they hate us and it easy for Coach Mack to have his team ready because they wait all year for this game the same way that SCSU did
They are a small time football program the only thing that they can say is that they beat us and we play right into their hands
So one year from now in that bird cage I am calling out all the Aggie
to join me with hatred in your hearts because I was on the visitor side yesterday and they had no fear of us or respect
We beat Elon and SCST on the road Central couldn't have done that but they can come to our house and out play us only because of the fire in their hearts to beat us and until we have the same fire we will have the best team on the field but lose
Because in my opinion 9 and 2 is not great because all I can think about is next year the same as last year
Had some great times this year and I am always proud of the team but til they have the same fire and hate for Central as they do towards us we will never beat them because they are getting better each year
All I can say is congratulations Central once again you kicked our azz but this time in our house
Never again we have to make this the game to win because all the other things don't matter 9 and 2 going to a bowl game being rated are all on paper the only thing that matters is that we lost to the dirty bird on the field of play
The only good thing about this morning is that we are AGGIE and they are still Central
November 22 2016 let's put the world back in order and Destroy the dirty birds
AGGIE PRIDE

Well we got about 3 weeks to prep for the SWAC winner.

[marchingband1969]

Damn the SWAC, I want a rematch!

Young Alumni and students are embracing and generally excited to be playing in the Celebration Bowl.

[kb31]

Ok you are right guys. All of you know more than an 5 time conference winning coach. One that has done something that hasn't been done at A&T in almost 20 years. And how ignorant do y'all sound saying you won't support these 18-21 years olds who give their all everyday for 5 months out of the year because they lose ONE game.

[Gator]

I disagree with most! The play calling was on point, our offensive line wasn't at all. So, if anyone needs to look at what happened, it's them. They performed poorly, the let an undersized defensive win the battle of the line of scrimmage. Bottom line, you can't execute if you have guys all over you due to not blocking.
