Your morning starts here.

North Carolina A&T celebrated its 100th Greatest Homecoming on Earth (GHOE) with a parade down Lindsay Street to campus, tailgating before the football game against Elon, and evening events across campus and Greensboro, while actor Terrence J served as grand marshal, Common flipped the coin, and Gov. Josh Stein presented a proclamation honoring the anniversary.

A&T's 93-year-old 'Miss Aggie Pride' (who arrived on campus with $1.50 and now has a residence hall named for her) is booked solid for GHOE events this week as students and alumni celebrate her decades-long campus legacy.

A&T will host rival Elon on Saturday at 1 p.m. during the 100th homecoming (about 250,000 visitors expected), tickets sold out in minutes, and coach Shawn Gibbs says the team must 'defend the house' and cut penalties to protect its three-game surge.

South Holden Road is closed from Vanstory Street to Cypress Park Road after two broken 8-inch water mains, with drivers detoured while city crews repair the line; 30 customers are affected, residents should run cold water until it clears, and call Water Resources 24-hour Dispatch (336-373-2033) for emergencies.

North Carolina A&T's 100th homecoming continues this week; the centennial parade is today at 8 a.m., starting at Lindsay Street and Murrow Boulevard and ending on Laurel Street.

Ten centenarians are grand marshals (Terrence J is grand marshal), and officials expect about 200,000 visitors and $80 million in economic impact.

Aggie FanFest will bring thousands to War Memorial Stadium (510 Yanceyville St.) and runs today 4-8 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Greensboro Police released a closure map and warn drivers to expect road closures and delays, so plan alternate routes.

The city is offering free parking starting at 5 p.m. today at Green Street, February One, and Church Street decks plus designated surface lots and marked street spaces as 200,000+ visitors arrive for A&T's homecoming, and organizers urge planning and paying private lots to avoid towing (staff will collect payments).
