It’s been nearly a year since the coach from rival coaches from HBCU programs North Carolina A&T and North Carolina Central had a war of words — and it hasn’t been forgotten.
Following last season’s 30-16 win over NC A&T, NCCU head coach Trei Oliver talked about the crowd at the rivalry game between the two HBCU programs in Greensboro compared to what it would look like against CAA opponents.
“With what you saw Saturday night in that stadium, they’re not going to have crowds like that except for homecoming, you know,” Oliver said. “So if you want to come play in a type of environment like that, if you want to come play in classics, the Circle City, the Magic City, whatever the case may be, the SWAC and the MEAC are where you need to be – they not going to be doing all that in the CAA.”
That prompted a response from Brown via Twitter.
“The little school up the road will never be able to match what A&T has achieved or offers, “Brown tweeted, including photos of championship trophies. “We are the best for a reason. Aggie Pride.”
