Just coming back from Atlanta and it would seem that the Black KSU grads are gearing up to show up. Whether they will or not is beyond me, but they are reaching out to several D9 & A&T alum in the area. The owner of Forks & Flavors is having an entire pre-game tailgate in the parking lot for the game. We'll see how this game really goes since it'll be the only one we play against them in the Big South. If it goes well, I envision them trying to get us on their future OOC schedule

Kennesaw state game is their homecoming and we have a lot of alums in Atlanta…yiu will be standing up the entire time. Their stadium only seats about 10K. Homecoming is just another date on their schedule. Looking back to 2016, they get in the mid 8k range for the season opener and after that it's around 5-6k for the rest of the season. KSU is growing their "fanbase" but this is a UGA State. To his point tho, they don't even recognize homecoming, they really just see "A&T". several didnt know it was homecoming.

A lot of PWI institutions really don't do the homecoming thing. It's ingrained in HBCU / and Some Southern PWI culture as a day to come home and come out .

bigsouthsports.com/news/2021/8/2/football-north-carolina-a-ts-jah-maine-martin-headlines-big-souths-stats-perform-preseason-all-americans.aspxNorth Carolina A&T's Jah-Maine Martin was named a First-Team Preseason All-American by Stats Perform on Monday, headlining the Big South's five overall selections. Monmouth placed three players on the squad -- Big South preseason players of the year Juwon Farri (Third-Team) and Anthony Budd (Second-Team), along with A.J. Farris (Second-Team), while Charleston Southern defensive lineman Shaundre Mims was a Third-Team honoree. Martin has already been named preseason All-Big South and an Athlon Sports preseason All-America. Unfortunately, the Aggies never got a chance to play in 2020. Still, before the season got canceled because of the global pandemic, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) named Martin their offensive preseason player of the year. Also before the 2020 season, Martin secured preseason All-America honors from FCS Stats Preform. Martin's accolades are well deserved after a standout season in 2019. Martin finished the 2019 season ranked fourth in the nation in rushing at 1,446 yards. In addition, he led the nation in yards per carry (7.73) and rushing touchdowns (23). His 23 rushing touchdowns and 23 total touchdowns broke a single-season school record. He is 12th on the Aggies all-time rushing list with 2,102 yards.

I thought the best #30 was the RB from Monmouth?

247sports.com/college/ncat/Article/NC-AT-football-north-carolina-hbcu-meac-big-south-fcs-aggies-practice-168130935/The teaching began today as the former Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and defending HBCU national champion North Carolina A&T Aggies football team hit the practice field for their first August camp practice. The goal is always to start with the fundamentals and then the Aggies look to make progress from there each and every day. The field is ready as we were able to place eyes on it for ourselves. The Aggies have dominated the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl since its inception in 2015 winning four of the five bowl games played. The Aggies go into the Big South having won four out of the last five Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) titles.
