Re: Preseason Projections

one thing i dont want to see is a team looking completely unprepared like we saw last year against clemson, so. alabama, and marshall ....at least defensively. i want to see great coaching, smart decisions, great clock management, and a huge improvement on defense. if our offensive line can gel ear...

Re: Two more?

If any type of merger was possible, it would be something along the lines of the SBC East breaking off and joining the American. But who knows where all of this will end?

Re: UNC Holes ideas for finding money for players

SEC bound. UNC to the SEC is middle school level click bate...They aren't going anywhere without Duke and SEC culture does align with The Flagships... They need to join the Big10 or do everything in their power to elevate the ACC. Unc created an entire fake curriculum with fake classes and even let...

Re: “App State Brew” Newsletter

I didn’t sign up for it either. It makes me wonder if they’re accessing contact info via the Alumni Association database? Or App State Athletics?

Re: Two more?

Conversations should begin shifting from who we would love to see join the SBC to where we would love to see App go. This right here. If regional rivalries is what we are interested in, we are a regional brand. We should be focused on remaining as a national brand and growing it further. Not lookin...

Re: “App State Brew” Newsletter

So far, so good; the newsletter is off to a great start. I like the fact that they’re covering a variety of sports, it’s great to raise awareness and generate interest in the coaches and athletes as well.

Re: RIP Legends

Honestly, where the location is, it kind of makes sense to have another parking deck there. I know we hate parking decks, but we also hate not having parking. I never visited Legends my entire 5 years at App for what it's worth though. Parking deck up at baseball, parking deck attached to Peacock i...

I'm betting a Dollar General pops up.
DG would totally mack it in that spot. But I think we can all agree that a parking garage would be the highest and best use of the lot.

Re: Double decker bus

You gotta assume some enterprising youngsters are already considering how the upper deck of the “Big Appal” double-decker bus might afford some quality sightseeing (read: day drinking) opportunities.

Re: Preseason Projections

As much angst and hand-wringing as there is about this season under Loggains, I guarantee it’s far less than we would’ve experienced if SC was still in charge. And speaking of SC…as much flak as Everts caught from folks on this board (me included), she saw the writing on the wall before most of us d...

Re: Double decker bus

I guess its neat. It will have to only run specific routes and I wouldn't use that on game day. Some liquid projectiles might find their way to the bottom level. Not sure this was money we'll spent. Outside of game days I wonder if it will ever hit capacity? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19mbz2u...

Re: UNCC Mayo Kickoff game now Friday

Sadly, YC has never done well at providing decent swag to thank donors. It’s a missed opportunity to build brand awareness for YC and reward donors with something meaningful for their contributions to App Athletics. And it wouldn’t have to cost much money to make it happen.

Re: “App State Brew” Newsletter

Publishing 3x/week is a tall order, but they’ll be plenty to cover/share during football & bball seasons. I hope they get off to a strong start.

Frankly, I had all but given up on seeing any creativity or initiative from the current crew. This could be a pleasant surprise.

“App State Brew” Newsletter

Like many of you, an “App State Brew” email arrived in my box over the weekend. If it lives up to what is promised, it could be a move in the right direction for increasing fan engagement.

Any thoughts on this?
