Why not? I hate everything Central in a competition with us. Everything. Remember that year they had the baby races? I would boo the baby.

Remember that year they had the baby races? I would boo the baby. We did better than their football team that kept saying "F#&@ A&T" when they were warming up before the game! I didn't and wouldn't boo the baby...especially since it might have confused our baby, that ended up winning! That said, their game experience is MUCH better than ours, in my opinion. Too many times we're sitting with nothing going on. Bring in that DJ and do some competitive/fun events. And it's not an HBCU only kind of thing. The NBA does it too.

Their game experience is better because we are wine and cheese on everything, they are raw and they hate us. That's why I applaud the students who took it up a notch this weekend. I hope they continue with the same energy. A few years ago the SGA president was criticized by some alumni for saying we need to "bring ghetto back". What she meant was don't be afraid to be Black and have fun CIAA style. We've been programmed to be "dignified" at A&T and us old heads haven't loosed those chains. Some of us feel it's a bother to even stand up during the wave. I like the idea also of moving the band to the center of the U so everybody can hear them. We should hire people on the marketing team that are always hype about everything. That's what will move this thing forward. Bring back the days of "the pig" in Corbett. That's the energy I love.

The band media team is fire! This is to me probably the best video ever made… Our administration should capitalize on this video. Now this is how you bring in new students and potential band members! If we want to be a consistent 220-250 band members than this is where it starts. Marketing and recruiting.

We cant duplicate NCCUs home atmosphere. Their stadium is little as hell with no track around it. It makes for a hostile and hype environment when it's packed just on that alone. Having a DJ is a preference. I prefer not to have one. Their DJ was annoying at times.
