Homecoming logjam for Aggies, Rams and Eagles
Halloween will be extra scary for some area college football fans this season.
N.C. A&T, N.C. Central and Winston-Salem State all have scheduled their homecoming games on the same date, Oct. 31, at nearly the same time.
A&T plays Bethune-Cookman at 1:30 p.m.
NCCU plays Central State of Ohio at 1:30 p.m.
WSSU plays Hampton at 2 p.m
The problem, of course, is that it’s not unusual around here to have friends, family and spouses who are connected to all three schools.
Or who graduated from one and work for another.
In most years, you don’t have to make a choice. You could attend all three homecomings if you wanted.
Not this year.
Why everyone chose Halloween is one mystery.
Why one school didn’t pay attention to what the others were doing is another.
As the smaller school, Winston-Salem State in particular may lose out in attendance.
As for me, I plan to be in Aggieland.
