I was reading the News & Observer this morning and notice that Va Tech and NCSU are thinking about switching their football game from Sat 9/3 to Sunday 9/4 for a possible ESPN televise night game. This would disrupt the Aggie-Eagle classic game. Now this could also mean that we play on Saturday instead of Sunday if this happens.

The Aggie-Eagle Classic will be played on Monday the 5th(Labor Day ). State won't let us play the game on Saturday because ESPN has to set up everything on the day before the game is televised. Plus, State probably don't want a game being played on their field the day before they play. With this being the last year of the contract for this classic, I wonder will situations like this be taken into consideration when discussing the possible renewal of a new contract?

I hope this motivates us to move that dayum game back to G'boro. Sooner or later Renick is gonna get tired of being D-BOed by NCSU.

Monday?!?!?!? How the uck are people coming from out of town supposed to deal with that?
Now I have to take a vacation day for this mess? It's (past) time to move it home or get rid of it.

Thinking the same thing. Put it in G-boro and have it on Saturday.

I live in Durham, but Damn !!!
Monday is a rest or travel day for Aggie-Eagle fans.
I went to an Alumni meeting this weekend (Mid east regional) and the "Central game" came up.
A high ranking Alum said at the meeting that a group in Greensboro is trying to match the payout offered in Raleigh for this game. The hope is to move it to Aggie Stadium.
The Alum could not offer more details because the wheels were still in motion. Don't be surprised if the contract is not renewed after this year.

I think we should create an on-line petition and send it to Renick to show how dissapointed we are with this current deal. Something has got to give.

Our respective athletic departments are too lazy to handle the classic themselves. They would rather sit back and accept a guarantee, albeit an unfair one, than actually work and put on the game themselves.
