I've got 4 & 3 possibles.
Four:
1. WSSU
2. NCCU
3. SCSU
4. Hampton
Possibles:
1. Campbell
2. Towson
3. Elon
Expect the rest to be like a Jack sneaking through or some lower card (8, etc.) sneaking in at the end of the hand...but who knows.
All this said, let's do our best to support our kids as much as possible (money, attendance at both home & away games, etc.)
Let's go!
Aggiely,

Aggiely, A&T-roy #AggiePride #AggiesDo #AlwaysDoing #NeverDone i wouldn't count on beating the buzzards, especially since its on their turf. i wouldn't be too sure about hampton either. but we should be able to beat wssu and scsu has a new coach (berry) which should give us an advantage, but i'm still not sure about beating scsu. the only game that i'm willing to stick my neck out on is the wssu game. all the rest? coach brown will have to "show me" on the football field before i'd be willing to stick my neck out on any other games... |

I get your skepticism. I just think the following: 1. Second year in Coach JZ's defense. 2. We're a lot more experienced in our interior defensive line & QB rooms. 3. We'll be bigger at our interior d-line...addition of DeAndre Dingle-Prince (transfer from Appalachian) and hopefully contribution from some of the incoming freshmen to go along with returners from last year (Chris Allen & Kevin Broadhurst primarily). 4. Our DE position should be better & stronger at the point of attack with the addition of Joshua Hardy (BC transfer), kicking Henry Daniel back out to the edge (and he's bigger - 260+), DeTerias Glover shouldn't have to play inside at 250 or less and hopefully Rashaud Pernell (6'4, 250) gets over his injury issues. Not to mention Mitchell Etheridge being back. 5. NCCU doesn't have a QB like Richard, this year, where his run game was difficult to stop and he was a decent passer 6. See 1-4 for Hampton. 7. See 1-4 for SCSU. |

So, you think we can handle all our HBCU brothers but maybe on 3 non HBCUs? Until I see evidence on the field (during a game, not spring practice) that we have better talent than we had last year, and our coach is more than just a good public speaker, I'm not betting on more wins than last season. Now I've been wrong before (and you guys will point that out with some of my old posts) but when it comes to Aggie Athletics, I've learned to just wait and see. Trust but verify.

Everyone is looking at us as a must win. They don't want to be that team that lost to a team that won 1 game last season, therefore they will give their very best. Due to this pressure, I am with Oleschoolaggie right now with 1 and the rest are possibles. My partner (Coach Brown) is going to have to pull us through this hand to squeak out 3 to 4 wins at best. Just too many unknowns.

Just too many unknowns. Yep. That's why I named the thread REALLY EARLY! I'll probably do another one right before the season starts. By then we'll have a better indication of what we've got, including the new freshmen. |

It's early but...
the Buzzards got better despite losing their all-everything QB.
the Puppies are overdue for a win against us and the Buddy-ball era is over with Berry now at the helm.
we've been close against the Crooks the last 2 years. However, they had very little off-season turnover & very few transfered when Prunty left.
It's still early but...
I have us winning only one between the Buzzards, Puppies & Crooks.
I have us winning our first (and only) CAA game against some unsuspecting school.
I have us close with the WSSU Cows until the 4th quarter when our depth wears them down.
I HOPE THAT I AM WRONG WITH MY 3 - 9 PREDICTION. It's still early...

I have us winning 1 game as of now. What if we lose that 1 game? Should there be a change in guard if we lose that one game?

Wasn't impressed with any team on that list last year.
I think Campbell could be the best out of all depending on how that new coach can use the talent Minter built

If he goes 1-21, which I don’t believe he will, he’ll be fired. His contract isn’t that massive.

See 1-4 for SCSU. a&t-roy, quite honestly, i'm not impressed with coach brown as a head coach and it ain't just because we only won 1 game last season. its because i never saw "anything" on the football field last season that made me say to myself, "now that's good coaching"! meaning, i didn't see any improvements "fundamentally" on the football field. i mean, we didn't tackle better, we didn't cover better, we didn't catch better, we didn't pass better, we didn't run better, et cetera. and my criticism of coach brown is not solely based on losing 10 games. for example, coach ross loss a "bunch" of games as our new mbb coach with a team that had higher turnover than the football team. yet, i "immediately" saw improvements on the team. we defended better, we shared the ball better, we ran a set offense better, and coach ross' in game adjustments were better. hence, i feel the total "opposite" about coach ross cuz his work in his first season "proved to me" that he's a good coach despite how many games we loss. i'm optimistic and excited about the future of the mbb team, not so about football. so i'm not pessimistic about coach brown just because he only won 1 game. of course that plays a major role, but aside from that, i just never saw "anything" on the football field that said to me, "now that's good coaching". and, if that mofo comes into "air notha" press conference after another loss and says "its a great day to be in aggieland", i think i'll "scream"!! hate when someone tries to tell me that everything is great, when clearly its not... |

Only the Chancellor makes more than him… He can’t afford to go 1-11 this season…but we also are likely not going to remove him with 4 years left on a fully guaranteed deal. And doing so will cause an exodus worst than the one before… And we have seen the speed of hiring at our beloved institution…it’ll be a spiral that will take a while to get out of… |
