Hey, does anybody else realize we should be in game week 1 mode RIGHT NOW.
Such a sad state of affairs, we would all be clamoring for A1 to release his weekly game notes early. To get a glimpse at the tale of the tape against the Shaw Bears.
The "game prediction" thread would have been in full swing, complete with Maine Martin total yards from scrimmage as the tie breaker.
There would have been the arbitrary "Are they bringing band" thred in "Rockin the Crowd" with all of four replies, lol (just kidding).
Trues would find a 6-8 OL on the Shaw roster and complain as to why we can't get guys like this.
We would all be making our prognostication on how long the starters would be play.
Someone would have ventured over to Onnidan by now and found where 1 Shaw fan was talking trash and post link in here for us to see and say why would they give our guys any bulletin board material (even though we all know game score had already been determined).
Oh what could have been.
This was just off top of my head, feel free to add anything that you look forward to on the board during game week, give us some since of normalcy (a word, if I hear again will be too soon)
Oh i almost forgot the roll call thread.

Let's do it anyway. LOL!
Score - A&T 65 Shaw 10 Martin - 260 yds rushing Shaw's band will truly be the small band with the big sound. They will possess way more funk the we do. Starters will play the full three quarters because they need the work For trues, Shaw's 6-8 lineman will give up 4 sacks Attendance - 6,000 (sellout) Thrilla will ask why we didn't let more fans in and get a warning for not wearing his mask No tailgating will be allowed in the lot but trues will tailgate anyway and get kicked out DOOMS will drink his tiny bottle through his custom designed mask

covid has thrown a "wrench" into our every day lives and it "sucks". now that covid-19 testing costs have "drastically" dropped to as low as $5 per test and the results can be returned in less than "an hour", i think we could've played a fall schedule relatively safe from covid-19 provided all other necessary protocols are taken.
i'd already purchased my pair of season tickets before the announcement was made that there would be no fall football. so i won't be getting my $400 bucks back and won't have an opportunity to attend my final year of meac fall football which also "sucks".
seems pretty odd and very poor timing that during these highly toxic times of racial injustice that ignited the "blm movement" towards racial equality that a&t is taking its support away from the hbcu community and instead giving it to the pwc community.
so not only has covid critically changed all of our lives, but it also sadly " preempted" my meac football experience. hopefully a&t's final meac basketball season will survive. given the "inexpensive" testing costs as well as several covid-19 vaccines expected to be available by early 2021, i think there's a very good chance that the basketball season will proceed as scheduled but i'm not so sure that meac 2021 spring football will be successful given the weather conditions of most meac schools that time of year...

The cost of the tests dont matter. Aggie Rattler, Saabman, West Coast and the rest of the Legion of GLoom are worried that you will get longterm heart problems from COVID, so we cant have any sports whatsoever until there is a cure.

Oh yea the last we played I went to there kickoff event downtown Raleigh at the al house. I acted as the Bluedeathvalley media and I got to ask questions to coach. My main question how was " How the hell you was going to stop Cohen" Of course it was put more professionally. Coach said we was not going to change our defense for one man we have ways that we would slow him down." Of course that was non - sense with the outcome.

I would also be looking forward to our first pre/post game meetup if the season as well, those were awesome last year. Was hoping to maybe take that site on the road this year, we could have found a local black owned establishment to patronize with some Aggie dollars/Pride. Being MMQBs about Fowler's/Ifedi's performance and who was that RB that seemed to put a claim in for the 2nd string spot.
This Fall is going to suck

yeah, other than the qb position, we were "loaded" at almost every other position. i had hopes of having yet another "outstanding" season given the experience (and new fbs transfers) that we had returning this year...

Maybe we will only have to wait until February for some football ... or worse case scenario Fall 2021

I think they are operating on a "one lane per week" construction schedule.
Andy Perkins must be overseeing that project. lol
