Sooooo......two questions: 1. Did FAM really change their placement and seating of the band and the student section JUST for this game and purposefully place them behind our bench?? 2. For those who actually saw the game and care to weigh in OBJECTIVELY.....was there actual offensive pass interference on the last play? They had a poor camera angle so I couldn't see what happened. 1. It was the team benches that were switched from one side of the field to the other. Their band and student section did not move.
2. I was there and was watching the ball. I did not see what happened away from the ball.

Does it matter in college ball if the penalty flag was thrown away from the play and did they actually pick up the flag and ignore it? There are multiple penalties in any game where a flag is thrown and the infraction has no apparent impact on the play. I watched the game and thought that a flag was thrown for offensive pass interference on the player who caught the TD.

You can clearly see in the pic, the flag was thrown for a FAMU WR and DB colliding...it wasn’t anywhere NEAR where the ball was thrown. Attachments:

You are correct that the "interference" had nothing to do with the route the wr ran to catch the ball, Washington said that himself. The question was if it was interference or any other infraction away from the play is it still a penalty and the answer is yes. No excuses, that's not why we lost, it was bad coverage by the db on the ball, but "if" the infraction on the other side of the field was legit, the flag should not have been picked up.

Washington said he never got an explanation, but they clearly said that there no Offensive pass interference. It had nothing to do with the play so it’s not P.I. Had the ball been thrown to Smith, then yes, P.I. might’ve stood. In this case, it’s not a penalty. Hell, the refs took a while to deliberate it and Washington was already shaking Simmons hands. He knows there was nothing to call

I ain't mad with FAMU for doing whatever it took to get the W on Sunday..... Aggie Stadium 2020 vs FAMU: A&T's band needs to be MIDFIELD ON THE VISITOR SIDE......flagged by students on both sides. In 2020 - it will be our turn to return the favor. For the FAMU game ONLY - move the band behind them; play EVERY SINGLE SECOND you are allowed to play when their offense is on the field. The students need to talk the most amount of isht possible (without engaging in any type of physical altercations). Turnabout is fair play.....and for any Aggies who buy reserved seats on the visitor side, they're gonna have to suck it up for that one game and be accommodated with seats elsewhere in Aggie Stadium. We are not that A&T any more.

No we didn’t...the band had been on the east side of the stadium consistently forever. The visiting team has been over there consistently for about 11 seasons. There’s been three known issues with teams, 1 vs Howard in 2005 and 2 vs A&T (2007 and 2019) And the P.I. was initially for a WR pick on the other side of the field...the flag wasn’t thrown near where the ball was caught You talking sideways. The problem is that the band and students were behind our team. FAMU band wasn't behind NCCU at homecoming. They flipped the teams to make it a hostile environment.

Wrong...for Homecoming, the football team moved to east side of the stadium because the Marching 100 “Brings it off” on the sideline and that was to avoid confrontation with the visiting team. The reason for that change is avoid issues between the band and visiting team. FVSU and SU were all on the east sideline with NO problems. A&T Is NOT the only team that’s been on that east sideline.

Also, the only reason FAMU football team moved to the press box side of the stadium was for a competitive advantage in regards to heat. For games that start between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. the game ast sideline can be 10 degrees hotter than the west sideline due to the shade of the press box and west grandstands.
It makes no sense for us to have our team cooking in the heat while the visiting team is in the shade. For homecoming, it was so hot and the game was so early in the day, that it didn’t matter what sideline FAMU and NCCU were on.

They do everything right...oh, but they are on probation. I don't know why yall are entertaining this FAMU is this or that bullcrap. They were participants in the scuffle too.

It was a pick play that is always called whether a touchdown is scored on the play or not. But, the officials didn't have the balls to make the call. How many holding calls are made of the opposite side of the field from where the ball is...? But, it's all good. I'm not even sour about the game, we made errors and we still had the opportunity to win. To be honest, I thought we were the reason we loss by letting up on their defense in the last 30 seconds. They were clearly tired...so, that's on us.

www.facebook.com/AggieAthleticFoundation/videos/449012602638729/This is the interview with Coach and Ware. Listen to the first part and you will see how I feel. Coach defended his team. It reminded me of the time the I got sent home for fighting a white guy at Black Hillside High in Durham during intergration. My Mom asked me why? I said “Mom, he called you a “B”. She looked at me for a minute and said ok. She may have told Dad that night during pillow talk but nothing more was said. I was wrong, but to a degree. Coach is a Champion. I admire who and what Broadway gave us.

You are defending the change and thats fine, but the change happened.
