The thing is I don't know if he knows the 2021 version of us. And sometimes, I don't know if anyone outside of that coaching staff knows this version. This year's version is only different because on paper the talent level is different. The schemes are essentially the same, the philosophy is the same but the talent is better in the 2-deep roster. That means your ability to execute more of your playbook, that means fresher legs in the 4th quarter. What they/we have not seen is (1)a fully healthy defense, (2)an offensive line that is solid at the tackle positions and operating as a unit, (3)a fully comfortable Jalen Fowler at QB, and (4) a healed up Jah-Maine. We may see all of these on Saturday night. If we do ... ...and if we don't... ...I don't know how much we'll know about the team if we manage to win the game. I do know we need a solid victory under our belt before going into conference play.

Not sure how I feel about "The Bank" as a stadium nickname.

NCCU had a streak of just bad coaches after Jerry Mack left. The other thing is that Oliver knows our schemes like the back of his hands and has a better crop of his own players that he has gathered over the last two years. The thing is I don't know if he knows the 2021 version of us. And sometimes, I don't know if anyone outside of that coaching staff knows this version. I don't know if we know the 2021 version of us either! So far I haven't really seen anything that resembles our pre-pandemic teams. Based on all the preseason hype for the talent we had, I was expecting to see a lot more from our team this season. So far, I'm still waiting.

Not sure how I feel about "The Bank" as a stadium nickname. I was trying hard to make "The Tru" happen 🤷

I think they call M&T Bank Stadium where the Ravens play "the Bank." Hell, call it the mud farm. Can't grow grass, right?

Not sure how I feel about "The Bank" as a stadium nickname. It's not 100% unique. Other Colleges that sold their naming rights to banks have referred to their arenas and stadiums as such. For example, Murray State calls their CFSB Center "The Bank." Either way, most of us will still call it Aggie Stadium in passing.

That interlocking A&T is absolutely beautiful. Iconic.
I know, wrong thread.
