2 dislikes 1. Playing Duke again. I get it. It's down the street. They paying. 2. Hampton for Homecoming. That game is gonna sell out regardless. Wish we could switch out CS Hampton would draw about the same amount of people for a non-GHOE game as Charleston Southern. They dont have a fanbase that travels deep and HBCU folks don't really care about their band. Our fans know who Hampton is though so they will show up in larger numbers than vs CSU. Plus I want to wing GHOE this year haha

Keep Hampton as Homecoming to keep the portion of our fanbase that only wants to see HBCUs happy. The Norfolk State game attendance will be interesting, since its the week after Homecoming.

So the Big South vs ASun thing isn't happening huh Who knows yet. If it doesn’t, the Circle City Classic should be on the table if bridges haven’t been burnt. That or Howard’s Classic. Oh and there’s 0 guarantee Norfolk State will lead to a large gate and attendance number post-GHOE in November. Don’t tell the HBCU die hards that

We sold out homecoming without playing a HBCU, scheduling one for ghoe is a bad business decision.
Non-HBCU die hards attend ghoe so we don’t need them to boost attendance

Any home game that is not on labor day weekend, ghoe, or against NCCU or WSSU is gonna attract the same amount of people as a Big South team.

I like playing Norfolk. Monmouth for the championship. And Duke with their new Coach. That Aggie Crowd in Durham was hyped (until the wheels fell off-their trickaration).

For personal reasons, I would love to play PV in Houston.

Yeah, but the attendance would be through the roof. Houston is basically Aggieland-Southwest right now.

Like I said before, if you want to meet a stranger just wear some A&T gear in downtown Houston. I promise you will not make it 4 blocks without seeing another Aggie.

Hopefully the Aggies are starved by then (to show out/up at games), and to try to get things back to a normal attendance. Maybe JSU's crowd/support has made us realize what we have. It's nothing new, Party at YOUR game/your City/Your Gym. We need to make the East Side the place to be on Game day, resturants, lounges ect.

PV fans would probably get excited about a showcase event in Houston. They would have more fans in Houston for a game against A&T than Texas Southern would.

All these match ups will not amount to squat if we have another awful season like last year! Some of y'all think a few recruits and transfers are going to make us playoff contenders. I'm not that sure. Is everybody convinced we are going to be better in conference play next season?
