This part right here got me!

“ The scoreboard wasn’t working, so an old flip scoreboard was brought out and set up in front of the student section in the sold-out Gaines Center, where 2,600 packed in to the old building. The students turning the scoreboard sometimes got sidetracked, so nobody really knew the score all that well”

This is what they were using.... Things happen. Those old school scoreboards have more problems nowadays.

I wasn’t there so I don’t know but the picture you’ve posted doesn’t appear to be a flip scoreboard. Yeah things happen but nothing some preventative maintenance or testing and running before the game would help. Lot of old scoreboards out there. I just haven’t heard of this secnerio
happening and the students running the flip scoreboard! Seems if this was the case it’d be run by an official

Another thing happened.  Paying Broncos were denied admission.  WSSU students with ID were allowed in. 
Fayetteville State by choice. Bronco by the Grace of GOD.

Students paid with their student fees. Not one paying Bronco didn't get in. They simply got there too late. They let the first come first in get in. Students was in line at 7:45am. The Broncos should have gotten there early and stood in like just as the students did. I have an all access pass and couldn't get in. People actually want to see our Rams play. Its to bad you can wait until the tipoff to get into your games at UNCF.

Ya'll just lost. So go sit down.  :shrug:

But who complained that the score was inaccurate? Both schools SIDs were there keeping stats.... :shrug:

That's because the game story exaggerated things quite a bit.
