Okay, AppNation, I've recently had the honor of breaking bread, sharing suds and watching a little Colorado Rockie baseball with one of your finest representatives and his wonderful family (you know I'm convinced that App74 is a direct descendent of Yosef). We discussed that Vegas has tagged the Mountaineers as 20-22 point dogs, and the "whys" and "why nots" that may have led to such a spread. However, despite App74's cautious attitude about the game, I've been doing my homework and I think y'all can go into Knoxville and put a surprise on that bunch of Volunteers!

It's likely not common knowledge, but the 2008 UW Pokes, with a 3-6 record to that point, went into Neyland Stadium, before 99,489 screaming Tennessee fans and handed Phillip Fullmer and the Volunteers a 13-7 defeat. Many folks say that's the game that ended Fullmer's career at UT. But the Pokes did it and y'all can too!

My point is; you take the combined mojo of the Mountaineers faithful and some added vibes from us App State supporting Poke fana and I think Thursday is a black day for UT and a step forward for my friends in Boone.

GIVE EM HELL MOUNTAINEERS!! I'M WITH YOU!

APPreciate the Love! Best of luck to the Pokes this year.

Listen here Cowboy, any "caution" you sense in my approach to this game is instead a thinly veiled optimism that will break loose when I hit that stadium. Aside from that, there is nothing more encouraging than to have a fan of a visiting team become one of your own as I, in like manner, have become a Cowboy. Such is akin to the App-Montana relationship.

Watch Z14 closely.....going to give you a high five!
