I cannot wait for this game. It will be a good one. I have no idea how either team will look but it will be great to watch. #AggiePride
 
But seriously, if you want to see a good time in FL and you are 40 and Under, the All-White Day Party is the best thing going that Saturday before the game. If you don't want to do that, then just show up Downtown about 8 or 9 (bars close at 2:00 in Orlando. Really 1:45), and just do the pub/ club crawl. I'm trying to get Bane to go ahead and buy some white slacks and come kick it wit ya boy! :lol:

There's also the Tom Joyner Family Reunion that week.

And if all else fails, just go to City Walk at Universal Studios. Nice mix of clubs and bars and restaraunts, and you don't have to pay admission for access....you only pay to get in one of the clubs out there.

I'm gonna be out and about that weekend. Anyone that's in town, PM me and I'll try to connect with you. :tup:

*Preseason first-team All-MEAC
**Preseason second-team All-MEAC
***Preseason third-team All-MEAC

Strength: When you have three fifth-year seniors like D’Vonte Grant, William Ray Robinson III and Ronald Canty as leaders you’re at an advantage. Grant has the led the Aggies tackles from the first day he stepped on the field, and Robinson and Canty have been fixtures on the Aggies offensive line. Junior cornerback Tony McRae is a first-year starter but has earned enough playing time over the first two years of his career to know what he is doing on the field. When you throw his vocal leadership into the mix, the Aggies are very strong in the leadership department.

Weakness: The Aggies want a little more consistency on offense. Last season, A&T lost by five points on three separate occasions and by one point on another occasions. An extra touchdown or two in 2014 to go along with one of the best defenses in the country can’t hurt. A&T certainly believes it has the weapons with 1,000-yard rusher Tarik Cohen, All-American collegiate sprinter Desmond Lawrence and athletic quarterback Kwashaun Quick.

But if you see a dude surrounded my the honeys like kids surround MikeyMouse, thats Tru3000. Please avoid him...he is not so nice
 
Alabama A&M, North Carolina A&T face off in Orlando's MEAC/SWAC Challenge

Matchup is personal for James Spady



By J.C. Carnahan, For the Orlando Sentinel

6:50 p.m. EDT, August 30, 2014



If it were up to Alabama A&M coach James Spady, his first collegiate game as head coach would be played against anyone other than the man he'll see across the field from him on Sunday.

Spady spent three seasons as offensive coordinator under Rod Broadway at Grambling State from 2007-09, a brief encounter when you consider how long each has roamed the sidelines.

On Sunday Spady makes his debut with Alabama A&M on a national stage against Broadway and North Carolina A&T in a matchup of historically black colleges and universities. The 10th Annual MEAC/SWAC Challenge is scheduled for kickoff at 11:45 a.m. Sunday at UCF's Bright House Networks Stadium.

The significance of such a meeting is not lost on the career assistant of 22 years as Spady sets out to reignite a program that finished 4-8 in 2013 after back-to-back winning seasons.

"I look at Coach Broadway as a mentor. I look at Coach Broadway as somebody who I've learned from, and I've tried to emulate, to a certain extent. That in itself carries quite a bit of emotion," Brody said last week. "But on the other side of it, we're in the infancy stages of building a program, and you'd like to start that out with success. If I know anything, I know it's going to be a tough first outing against Coach Broadway's bunch. I'd rather play this against anybody else in the world than them."

North Carolina A&T and Alabama A&M are competing in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge for the first time, but the coaches are no strangers to football in Orlando in late August. They coached in the game together at the Florida Citrus Bowl in 2009 when Grambling lost 34-31 to SC state

It may have been funny on TV, but being there in person it was brutal. It was hot, and AAMU had a good number of fans out there. Black Bamas are usually happy. I've never seen them that sad, up close before. I'm used to watching them suffer from the other side of the field at Memorial.
