Band probably wouldn't attend playoff game as it will be Thanksgiving break and most of them are probably leaving after GWU on Sunday

I'm sorry. I guess my definition of "compete" is different than other folks. I thought the goal was to give yourself the best chance to win and advance. You do that by playing in your home stadium. See my description of playing at Elon above.

We are undefeated at home this season. And yall are seriously trying to make an argument that we would be better served playing on the road in the playoffs.

Pretty sure the band was at Wofford.
Also willing to bet the administration is going to send them to wherever we go.
Also really questioning whether we can actually beat these cats. We're beat up and their coach is an offensive mastermind.
As far as it better to be on the road, as noted before it depends on where. Elon is practically a home game for us. We take over their stadium every time we go there. Playing at a home stadium at 1/4 capacity is not an advantage in that situation. Going to their house with more fans than they have is an advantage.

What is the combined record of the teams we played at Aggie Stadium? 18 - 43đđđ Playing teams with that kind of record we shouldnât have lost!!!

I'm not sure if a stay on campus during Thanksgiving Week was budgeted so they're just gonna have to chop it up and find the cash. It's a new day in Aggieland and we gotta pony up the cash.

Exactly. Playing in an empty stadium with a running track between the field and stands is not a home field advantage We will stay in a hotel regardless of playing home or away. Playing at home could be an advantage because we play on grass not turf like the other schoolsđ§. I take it back, playing on the brown field is an advantage đ

Wait, what? GW coach is an offensive mastermind? I think that's a leap. Then Coach Wash is a defensive mastermind; which is closer to the truth. Do I have to share GWs history? Hell, their present is .500. I view GW and Campbell the same. Ain't ever won anything. We gon beat them just like we beat Campbell. We need to stop givin these jokers too much credit. Aggies 30 pwi puppies 21 Cmon DOOMS, you better than that!

Yeah, we helped them out 2039. This team has more fight than last year. And you can clearly see on the field leadership.

Attendance at the last two playoff games we were in was great. We had 3x the amount of Richmond fans in their own stadium and was something similar to that at wofford. We also didnât do bad playing TSU and that was an 7 hr drive. Aggies will travel, having said that in our new reality of no celebration bowl we gotta learn how to bring the party to Aggie Stadium. There a reason why home teams have a 75% win rate. We need to host playoff games. If you look at FCS attendance during playoffs - itâs embarrassing .. I think our AD understands that attendance is secondary to winning. Whatever our attendance will be itâs better than trying to beat the odds of winning on the road.
