In the internet age
websites and
broadcast and cable
television seek to
boost their appeal
by way of fan
interactivity, a
quality that black
college sporting
events have employed
before the dawn of
the internet.
The
groove was in high
gear at the 2008
Aggie-Eagle Football
Classic as the North
Carolina Central "
Eagles" (1-4) hosted
North Carolina A&T
"Aggies" (2-4) at
Memorial Stadium in
Charlotte, NC for
the 80 installment
of a series that
date back to 1924 on
Saturday went to
the wire for in the
4th period before
final score was
settled 28 to 21 in
favor of Eagles. The
game atmosphere was
"electric" as
competitors on the
field were
encouraged by the
sides, cheerleaders,
bands and fans
seeking victory for
the Grand Prize of a
year of bragging
rights within the
family and on the
job.
