Greensboro, North Carolina -- Dating all the way back to 1924, the N. C. A&T Aggies and the North Carolina Central Eagles will meet at the line of scrimmage to renew an 87-year-old rivalry.
The historical football game between A&T and the N. C. Central is perhaps one of the most anticipated, emotional, and oldest rivalry games in black college football.
"To me it's like a second homecoming of sorts," said Bonnie Newman Davis endowed A&T professor and alumna. The two teams played each other every year since 1924 except for six times. The last time they didn't meet was in 2006.
From 1994-2005 the two teams have met at a neutral site in Raleigh for the official "Aggie-Eagle Classic." However, now the game is technically no longer named the Aggie-Eagle Classic but is now just a regular season conference game, but the title since then has lived on.
