I don't think A&T fans are any different than any other passionate sports fans...we want our teams to perform well and win. Do we get upset when we don't perform well and win...absolutely! Especially this season.
We (A&T) stepped out of the HBCU world and joined a PWI conference. And that decision put a bullseye on our backs. A lot of MEAC fans hated us for being uppidy and moving out of the old neighborhood. And HBCU purist hated us for abandoning our culture. Hell, a lot of our own fans hated us for that move. So what do we do this past season? We play awful football! We get out coached, out talented and out disciplined!
Now Aggies have always had a target on our backs but this is the first time in years that we couldn't do much about it. And that's upset a lot of Aggie fans. Now we still have that bullseye on our backs and its feeling damn irritating. I don't know what will happen next football season but if things don't improve there will be a lot more fan complaints.

Alumni need to do one of two things at this point: 1.) Donate huge 5 to 6-figure checks and seriously influence the Admin’s decision making or; 2.) Find a hobby, get off social media, and start ignoring these opinions of people who aren’t Aggies. Some of us spend way too much time debating things that we have 0 control over. And you withholding your $200 per season ticket book isn’t going to move the needle. 🤷🏿♂️ |

Can you post a screen shot of one of those 5 to 6-figure checks you keep mentioning in every thread?

Because that seems to be your only solution to any issue that is discussed on this site. I am sure you are taking your own advice since you have strong feelings about A&T athletics.

For us as Alumni and anyone who isn't an employee of the university, it is just about the only thing we can do to really influence the decision-makers of the school. That is, unless, you feel like a 2+ year old thread about grass really influences the AD. And yes, I will be taking my own advice lord willing. |

The coach didn’t show up to the press conference…”increase donations “ The players started a fight…”the coaches need more money” The players keep missing class….”the program needs more donations” Haha |

Lol good one. But who’s on here and on social media complaining about the coaches, insinuating that they need to be removed? Not I. |

So, if people dont have the same level of tolerance about issues as you do, they need to just write a 6 figure check or shut up?
Do you realize how hypocritical that sounds ... when, thus far, the Lord has not yet willed you to write a 6 figure check yourself?

Weird! Athletics takes a back seat to academics, being the black MIT does more for the culture than playing in a HBCU football conference Weird?!!! Think you need to read the epilogue in The Wretched of the Earth-Franz Fanon. Given our sojourn here we have come a long way. We do not and should not imitate MIT rather we need to resurrect our internal genius and spread our wings which is why I say we should put a satellite in orbit. It is the Schoo of Nanotechnology that is our trajectory continue our path toward academic relevancy and sustainability. Science is about the elevation of humanity rather than the subjugation of humanity. Look at how the major universities have used science to the detriment of humanity like Monsanto with seeds. Look at these viruses lab created HIV and this Plandamit created in Chapel Hill the University of Chapel Hill that is or John Hopkins research. I pray that we never imitate those institutions but rather become and remain a beacon of hope for humanity because we have no other choice. Unfortunately there are always those who are opportunists who will and continue to bidding of those whose agenda is against the people. |

Damn, yall dissing my man Moses now. What is happening here? Moses because he was chosen to take GOD’s people to the next level, After all he brought them from and in his end he didn’t see the promised land because he made the wrong decision. The people caused him to not follow the game plan. There’s a plan in place, is the pressure too great The BS competition didn’t cause us to fall to a 5-6 team season , the champ won only 2 more games. GW and Hampton were winnable. These games cause me to look back at Morgan and FAMU! We almost didn’t make the CB Bowl in Both those years. If your car skips a gear 4 times in 2 years will you ignore it or take it to the shop. The next year something falls out. We have seen the signs of failure coming while we are trying to climb or STEPUP.! God saw them too in Moses, he knew the failure was coming. “ My Word Will Not Come Back To Me Void” means I will not fail! |
