Alumni, students and fans flocked to Aggie Stadium Saturday for the 82nd meeting between the Aggies and the Eagles.

Since their first meeting in 1924, the two teams have been fierce rivals.

Currently, NCCU lags in the rivalry 46-30-5. Three years ago, the game rivalry was marred by a postgame disruption in Aggie stadium after the Eagles outscored the Aggies.

Each year's game is a second homecoming of sorts, bringing together students, alumni and fans from both universities.
