I don't care if they only had one a year. If you go to a game, you'll see what I mean. Those kids don't sit down for the entire game. They have chants and songs lined up from before kickoff until the game is over. It's truly an experience. They don't take their few opportunities for granted. Our students may feel that way since only a few students get tickets. Is that still the policy?

As baseball pointed out you can point fingers and make excuses. But white fans are more inclined to let things loose at games and not give a damn what other people think, not so much for the HBCU fan. In saying that is a big difference between fan enthusiasm and engagement. As baseball pointed out you have to find a group of kids that don't give a flip about what people may say about them on campus after their conduct at the game. When you find that section of students things will begin to light up. So this not fan engagement? This is not black culture? These fans are not letting loose? I honestly am trying to understand your argument but you guys provide zero evidence to back up your claims. Just saying 'because I told you so' is not evidence. When you experience it from the start to the finish you will know . That's the best way to describe it. Take a trip to the shed at Tuskegee if you ever in the area.

FAMU does things that helps them get past black culture at athletics events (mostly wait until something good happens to get engaged). 2. What does our fans doing the My Side chant have to do with being engaged in the game? 3. The other video was after something good happened (TD). 4. The players biggest point was making noise on 3rd down and they're talking about things specifically related to the game. Though the chants, the wave and things luke that are fun and cool, they're not soecific to the game. Even better than making noise on 3rd down would be noise on all downs that the other team has the ball.

Saabman, do you even remember what your position is? Tuskegee is a HBCU. You just said black fans are not as engaged as white fans, and now you tell me to check out Tuskegee as an example of fan engagement.

Football players are right. We are way too quiet throughout the games. I went to the Furman Game in 2021 (free tickets sitting on the Furman side). My friend looked and said the Aggies are quiet. We only made noise when it was major plays. We need to make noise throughout the entire game. So this not fan engagement? This is not black culture? These fans are not letting loose?

Neither has anything to do with the game, SMH. You trying though.

I think you, A&T-roy and saabman need to hold an emergency meeting and figure out what your talking points are gonna be. Because all of yall are saying something different.
First, you claim all black students just hang out under the bleachers and dark alleys during games, A&T-roy believes black people are genetically engineered to not make noise on third down (except for the black people at FAMU and maybe NCCU) and saabman gets constantly confused and just agrees with whatever the last point one of you guys made.
You gentlemen are a three-headed monster of contradictions and misinformation.

Thriller don't try to wiggle your way out of this I know full well that Tuskegee is an HBCU have been there to a number of their games matter of fact I have sent players to Tuskegee. Also you asked for a list of FCS programs that have enthusiastic interaction at their games I gave you that.On that list was a number of FCS HBCUS and division 2 HBCUS. I even stated if you ever in the area when Tuskegee is playing at home drop in and you will understand what a number of us are trying to point out to you. Come on man you better than that. At least you are consistent because I know that you try to pick your victims and use them as a way out when your conversation is weak but that is one of the few things I like about you you're consistency even when you are wrong.

I was addressing his interactions to me never included you or Roy . Some of us does not have to include you and Roy you just exclude yourself this is my contradictory statement and opinion. Nor do I need you are right to rub a stamp my opinion.

Fan engagement is like pornography, some folks on here claim they know it when they see it! I'm not sure what all the discussion is about. Considering our football team has changed conference twice and played awful in 2023 and uninspired in 2022, we are luck our fans don't show up with paper bags on their heads. All this fan engagement banter will be cured if we stay in a damn conference long enough to start hating our conference opponents (like we hate the buzzards) and start playing bully Aggie football again! Until then, don't expect much fan engagement from our fans.
