GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A winning season and conference championship are out of reach, and the coach has been fired. Yet, as they enter their final two football games of 2008, the N.C. A&T Aggies swear the search for significance isn't as tough as finding Sasquatch in Summerfield. "Florida A&M and South Carolina State: the big boys," interim coach George Ragsdale said. "And we're a big boy. We've got to get our place back."
Simply beating the Rattlers and Bulldogs won't immediately return A&T (3-7, 1-5 MEAC) to that status, but it might be a start. And at least the Aggies are done with travel for the year, having driven to the ends of the MEAC -- Delaware State and Bethune-Cookman -- during the past three weeks. Those journeys added up to approximately 1,934 round-trip miles, the rough equivalent of taking the bus one way from Greensboro to Moab, Utah. So what exactly is in it for the Aggies in the two games and one bye week to come?
