You will not rain on my parade

On October 31 the weather in greensboro, North Carolina was alittle down and rainy, however the life of homecoming was as high as ever. It drizzled on that saturday of North Carolina A&T homecoming but that did not stop the thousands of students, parents, families , and especially the alumni. The most important part of the homecoming day aside from the football game, is the tailgating participation, which was a great turnout. Despite the drizzling weather the tailgators flooded in taking up spaces anywhere availible.

Tailgator of five years Jeff Byrg, explains how every year no matter rain or shine and if they win or loose the football game, he and his friends will be there faithfully cooking out. " I travel all the way from Atlanta, Georgia each year for this homecoming, and I am satisfied every time. Tailgating is what people expect, I always give out free food for anyone who walks by and I cook fom 9a.m until alittle after the football game is over."

Jeff was not the only tailgator to agree that his attendance would be promised rain or shine, and because of faithfull tailgators like him, it makes the aggie homecoming even better each year.

During the day before and after the game Jesse jackson was found taking a bite or two, and enjoying the tailgating meal.

Terrance J from the BET show 106&Park was also there enjoying the friday evening tailgating.

For years to come to help keep homecoming alive the tailgators must continue to support and attend the homecoming weekend and keep A&T 's aggie pride alive. To be apart of othe NC A&T alumni activicties follw the link to http://http//www.ncat.edu/~alumni/
