The 2008-12 stretch of playoff game losses were brutal. It was either butt whippings by Richmond, Villanova, and Maine or heartbreak against Montana and Illinois State. I can still hear the thwump of the extra point hitting the hand of the Redbirds player and the pall that fell over KBS in our last ...

I'm a 74 grad, who's your mom if you don't mind me asking?

Sent you a message.

Congratulations Pioneers! Awesome to have a state championship returning to Watauga County after 47 years.

My mom, a 74 grad, summed up the game thusly: "pretty cool".

41-10 Pioneers.

Burroughs is a man among boys.

Pioneers are sandpapering that ass in the first half.

This is the first time I've seen them play. Fun team!

I did. Spread will grow when they see how many we aren’t playing. It's not like Southern is suiting up a full team. I'm sure they're dealing with portal losses as well. I tried to take a peek at GSU Fans and rolled my eyes because their board is unavailable to view individual threads without regist...

My understanding is that they had enough buy in from the players to have a team to play, which would be a conditional factor.

That's really cool. Proud of those guys. Maybe we do have more TIGMAs than we realized.

We are in the process of putting together a team. No joke.

"Who's ready to show who's the cheesiest?!"
"I woke up feeling the cheesiest coach!"

You call getting a bowl game this way deserving it? We lost to Arkansas State in the most stupid fashion. Accepting a bowl game that 10 others declined after going 5-7 is not deserving of a bowl game. lol So don't watch. Either we win and finish with a losing record or lose and finish with a losing...

From the ESPN article on ND choosing to cry instead of play. As part of a memorandum of understanding signed last year that guarantees that the field will have at least 12 teams in 2026 and beyond, Notre Dame would be guaranteed a spot if it finishes in the top 12 starting next year. In addition, un...

Kansas State and Iowa State opted out as well.

Sorry f'in state of affairs in college football.

Lanning is going to have Oregon chomping at the bit to keelhaul the Dukes under Autzen.

There's no way two G6 ever get into the playoff again.

How have we been "safe". Our last 3 coaches had zero HC experience. "Safe" to me is hiring a coach "with coaching experience" Yeah, I wasn't referring to head coaching experience. More so the process. JMU and other programs out here hitting fastballs in their searches and hires while App is playing...

Hire this guy. except I disagree about the entrance. IMO we've gone from bad ass Sean Connery, AC/DC, Black out uniforms to Mickey Mouse and the mouseketeers. Yup, 007 followed by Back in Black was my favorite entrance. It was shaping into a killer tradition. It's too bad the program can't seem to ...

I think this is a great hire for JMU. He had Louisiana rolling along, and he's going to a program with more money and support. The Dukes have been ballsy with their coaching hires, while App has been way too safe, IMO. We'll see how it pans out, but I could see him back at another P4 program in a co...

I love this for them!

Also go Troy!

It didn't even feel like a game day driving down Rivers Street this afternoon. Have to wonder how many folks had already checked out.

I have a lot of respect for JMU for not letting their foot of the gas.

Yup, can't be mad at the Dukes. Hopefully one day we can return the favor.

I'll be looking forward to cheering for whomever they play in the playoffs.

If I'm DG on the corner of King and Depot tonight holding out a bowl for buyout funds.
