Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I hope we have scouts in Cullowhee today. Both these teams look to have guys that could help us. Thinking about it , one could argue that Barnes and Flowers are two of our best and they were FCS last season. Players from FCS that actually played bring more to the team that FBS 2s and 3s that didn't...

Better receivers probably make it easier being quarterback. Dropped balls can make a quarterback and a team look pretty bad.
With an SEC caliber OL his last year at App he'd have put up some similar numbers here.

Re: Billy Napier Fired

Few people have said it was well as Paul Finebaum: “It was long overdue, he (Napier) was a complete failure as a coach.” Good ole Paul Finebaum. I’m happy that he has a platform to express his pent up rage from being the last kid picked for kickball. Finebaum, Stephen A. Smith, Beano Cook....all IM...

Don't live in Boone but it would be a shame if this happened.
Mountain Aire in West Jefferson is a super nice public layout that is also reasonably priced and close to Boone.
Yes it is. Very nice little course.

Re: Prayers for Coach Clark

I would suggest, if it's not already a choice, that there be an offensive lineman award given after the season. It should be named after Shawn Clark and given to the lineman who exhibits the type of player and person that Shawn was. Maybe there could be other criteria but this comes to mind at the m...

I removed the inappropriate post and the responses to it.
It is appalling and very disappointing that there was an inappropriate post in the first place. Some people just need swift kick in the arse.

Re: Game day Operations

Count me in as one who does not like the new “Welcome To The Rock.” I like the thinking outside of the box, and the attempt at fan engagement, but some things don’t need fixing. Leave it to Sean Connery, Jerry Moore, Luke Combs. Keep it simple. GO APPS!! Agree. Oddly enough, the only tradition rece...

Re: Game day Operations

Although I was unable to attend I watched on TV and I have come to this conclusion. If we're making game day as student-friendly as possible and making the experience as much about the students as possible then do away with the canned music altogether, except when the Band of Distinction is in trans...

Re: Looking Ahead- Lindenwood

If this group sounds like the sky is falling, we hired the wrong coach, "bring back Shawn", and "this performance is on the coaches" you haven't read anything. Try perusing Facebook and all he armchair quarterbacks and lounge chair coaches who have all the answers but no football experience. They wi...

There are some alumni here in York County, SC who are trying to organize an alumni chapter here. Waiting on it to get off the ground but it's still early.

Hadn’t been to a Yosef Tour stop in 3 or 4 years, great showing tonight in CLT and they have stepped up there game on the venue setup and food.

Well done staff!

Great to see so many old friends.
I had to miss this year in CLT. Who from the staff was there? How was the crowd?

Don't feel bad for Joey. He is going to make 1M to sit on bench, if he stays at UCLA and that is 1M more than he would have made had he pursued the NFL. https://x.com/On3sports/status/1912612318246039742 Hopefully he has a signed contract from the NIL collective I told a friend yesterday and I'll s...

Re: NCSU in Boone 2028

While I like the idea of ACC schools coming to KBS I am not going to become all giddy and shickled titless just because NCSU is supposed to come up the mountain. We don't need to play any of the ACC blue bloods to validate our team and school but I do think playing them and keeping the money in Nort...

Re: NIL or Yosef Club?

Just my $0.02 worth but any monies that I give will go to the YC since they 1) benefit all sports and 2) the YC contributes to the AFAA. I don't want my money going to players who may/may not be around after 6 months or to "rent" players for a season.
