Anyone bother to notice that thousands black people were voting in droves around the Triad area last Saturday since it was the last day for early voting?

Many alums , students and Aggie fans work 9 to 5 or 6 on saturdays, we just cannot take off 3 weeks in a row. So we pick and choose , the game we missed this time was FAMU so will can see SCSU crew and or NCCU in 2 weeks. Early in the season the 6 pm games were not an issue because we could handle our business , be it work or family , doing the day.

Like we been saying all along. you cannot sit up and have a dam fan zone with a product that we bring to the table. The fan zone should have been a long term strategy. It is a lot easier to sell fan zone when you winning!!!!!!(coming sense) Hinton has to much pride to modify the price next year!!!!!! He want it to be a way of life forever!!!!!!
But it want go away until we get a new Chancellor and AD!!!!!

To answer the VUL and fishsamich U question. That's easy, 1pm in late Fall vs 6pm early Fall.
Again, when is "college day"? Is it this week?

It was waaaaay under 7,000 and there were peeps there from FAMU. This coming week (I'm coming down again) I'm looking for just a little more than last week because of SCSU fans.
We may have lost a few fans with early voting but I doubt we lost a significant number because a lot of people had already cast their votes before this past Saturday and they could have voting around the time of the game (like before the game Saturday).

There were a lot of people tailgating on Saturday. I don't think it's the fan zone that keep people away, I think it's the price of a ticket. Lower the ticket price and we will attract more people.

I expected the turnout to be around 9-10k...but in all fairness, the dirty birds did have homecoming down the road. That may have had an indirect effect on attendance as you have married couples that attended both schools.
