Aggie Mike I will be watching the UNC-Duke game also. I am excited about these young men coming to A&T but 75% of these guy will reshirt for the upcomming year and have little impact on the 07 season

It's about creating an atmosphere not about an individual recruit or an individual season. IF I were physically able to be at Stallings, I should be there. No question. If you CAN'T, fine. But if you could be there and choose not to be because of an ACC basketball game, I'd have to wonder what BDF really means.

I grew up watching the Big Four, but once I chose A&T over NC State all of that Duke, State, Carolina stuff became secondary. Maybe it's because I graduated from "T", which is probably a little different than being a fan or a current student. JMO.

Yea Duke-Carolina is tonight, I might not make it

Back in the day, you would have been greased just for the thought....

They don't grease anymore? Therein lies the problem.

I remember when they greased thrilla. He had to wear a diaper like that astronaut lady that ran to florida to mace that other astronaut.

I wanted to attend but I just got out of a meeting and need to prep for two more in the morning.

AggieMike please tell me you are joking.

I agree, but I didn't grow up watching the big four. I grew up watching A&T. In general, I just wear A&T gear. If I wear anything else, it will be other HBCU gear. I definately wish I could be there.

What the hell is greased? Y'all missed a good Duke-Carolina game

My whole thing with not going is I'm really starting to lose the hopeless optimism I had for years (losing will do that). The realization that umm we aren't that good hurts.

Like when Dave Chappelle was talking about meeting Michael Jackson, he only KINDA wanted to meet that dude, I only KINDA care who we are bringing in. I doubt we brought in anybody I've seen play or heard of or anyone from Charlotte, so chances are I'll meet all of them eventually, probably be cool with them but I'm not jumping out of my seat to see (insert black name here) sign with good ol' A&T.

Holla at me when we get the next Reggie Bush (or even Mo Hicks, hell the next Speight or Sweeney would make me care).

Should we tell him or not?

[DiehardAggie70]

Please don't, I havn't heard that since my freshman year in Scott Hall.

[SixtiesAggie]

Great party and great crowd. The generosity of the Aggie Club and Aggie supporters (food, food, food) made the party a solid hit. It appears that the coaching staff will continue to work hard on recruiting, especially defensive linemen. Glad to hear that some players are ok with changing positions and that the redshirts are ready to contribute.

One thing that has always disturbed me, is the announcing of scores from acc schools. Can you picture them (acc schools) ever announcing the score of an A&T game. Perhaps marketman can bring this concern to the attention of the Dept. of Athletics.

We were in cooper hall. Most of us got greased twice, by the Baseball team and Football team.

[A&T AGGIE 96]

OK, what the hell is getting "greased"

[Bornthrilla]

Greasing is what Doomsday considers a "romantic night on the town."

[DOOMS]

Greasing is what thrilla considers "par for the course."

[Bornthrilla]

Greasing is what Dooms refers to as "tough love."

[Aggie77]

It sounds like both of ya'll have some affection to "Greasing"!! ;D

But how about a review of the "Signing Party"? Was it well attended, by students, faculty, staff and fans? Was it a waste of time? Would people pay to attend?
