Nice videos of a great game. I enjoyed the game very much and please allow me a personal note. I grew up in Greenville and one of my after-school jobs was at ECU during my high school years. In those days ECU was a teacher's college of about 2,000 students and would not allow me to attend it after my H.S. graduation. Fast-forwarding to now, ECU has almost 30,000 students and we beat them on their home field as well as got paid several hundred thousand dollars to do so. I feel like a little bit of justice has been done. AND I'm so glad to be and Aggie. AGGIE PRIgDE!!! I thought I was the only "separate but equal" survivor on this site.

What NCCU learned about the danger of football upsets from NC A&T’s win over ECU September 07, 2018 03:36 PM DURHAM With every loss there is a lesson, and sometimes there is a lesson in watching another team’s win. While the North Carolina Central football team was traveling up I-85, returning from Atlanta after their 40-24 loss to Prairie View A&M, their rivals from Greensboro were pulling off an upset in Greenville. North Carolina A&T rolled into Dowdy Ficklen Stadium and shocked ECU, 28-23, Sunday afternoon, a day after the game was originally scheduled to be played.

MB1969,are you also from eastern North Carolina? Also, given your marching band ID I assume you were in A&T's band. So was I and I enjoyed every bit of it. Today's band is outstanding...

Hands down one of the best games in Aggie Football History. It sounds crazy to say considering the run we've had, but this moment in history deserves to be celebrated. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPh-RhBp2T No telling how many times that I’ve watched this, and it’s funny every time.

For a fan like me, these videos are priceless! This is one that needs to play on the Jumbotron.
