It sucks, but this is where "college" sports is. They certainly won't be the only ones doing a lot of this stuff.

One aspect of the “pay the poor abused players” argument that kills me is that blanket assumption that schools have made “billions” off of these indentured servants. Zero of them has ever been forced to play a sport and I seriously doubt that outside of maybe 40 schools the rest have either operate...

Most people don’t have App State at the top of their career aspirations. I don’t think that’s a bad thing to say. I would rather have a head coach who does not see us as their career dream job than one that does. It means they see the value in coming to App and will work diligently to make the prog...

Agree it was the author, not Loggains making that Arkansas reference. Now that I think about it, It appears that most Alumni don’t actually work out as HC. Maybe it is the pressure, internally and externally, that creates the rifts. But most coaching hires don't work out, period. Do alumni do worse...

While I don't doubt Loggains, like most coaches, would look to move on to a bigger job if given the opportunity, I didn't see him say anything like that in the article. The author himself made a few comparisons to other jobs, and then awkwardly inserted the line about "one day maybe he'll finally ge...

"Pac-12"

As previously noted, I have major issues with the direction of college athletics, going well beyond unregulated pay-for-play and unlimited transfers (mostly falling under the broad umbrella of TV networks owning and operating the sports). Nonetheless, I'm glad to see App will once again have plenty ...

He did. I believe it was the year after he graduated. From what I heard, he was pretty green, understandably. Tended to talk about the players like his buddies (which, of course, they were) rather than a team he was covering. Perhaps the additional distance of being a few years removed would help hi...

Ha, y'all are a tough crowd. David's a good guy who IMO does a good job with his site and on the air. My guess, though, is radio will probably stick with the time-honored formula of a professional broadcaster on PbP and a former App player on color.

Of course he doesn't want to play but let us just break down a few of his points just because it is the off season it is always a sore subject for our fans. Let me bypass the obvious excuse because "the commissioner said so" and just focus on his points. The reasoning behind not wanting to play a G...

Put me down as another vouch for Betty's. We went there for brunch when we were in town last summer. Good food and service.

Also, while we're talking breakfast spots, it warms my heart to see Boone Bagelry still doing their thing. Made a stop there last visit as well.

Those that picked App doing well last season did not anticipate that our running back would go to Missouri either.

Noel entered the transfer portal before our 2023 season was even over and committed to Mizzou the first week of January '24.

Man... that sucks about Red Onion. And I feel a little personally guilty because I rarely went there. I lived three of my four years in school virtually right across the street and only went once or twice. BUT, my family and I found ourselves in need of a quick pregame meal last year and went there,...

What was even more crazy was all the talk of lock in to Sun Belt champs much less New Years Bowl contender. I don't argue replacing the coach but that bar was a pipedream. Gillin literally cited competing for a New Years Bowl as a goal in his announcment firing Clark. I conducted a 2024 Sun Belt pr...

And look, I'm not saying winning and losing doesn't matter. Of course it does. On-field success always correlates with fan interest, pretty much everywhere. I'm just saying, don't use that as an excuse to dismiss people's feelings about the ways college sports have transformed over the past few years.

I’m told that a handful of Yosef Club season ticket holders have checked out due to the “pay for play” situation. I’m hanging in perhaps being hopeful that a meaningful resolution can be reached. That’s now , subject to change of course. I'm in the same boat. I've got my season tickets renewed, but...

And I do think that's a big factor for people. If it were just about one down year, why didn't we see a dropoff following the 6-6 season a couple years ago? Because that year had Texas A&M, College Gameday and the Hail Mary. 2024 had nothing near those highs. 2024 was supposed to be the year. You g...

She's a social media influencer who's trying to do grownup PR that no one asked her to do, and it isn't going well.

I’m old enough to remember the Can’tamount fans claiming they will never come to Boone for football. Look forward to hosting them for tailgate. There’s a guy on their board, absolutely losing his mind. Apparently we are the lowest form of human on earth. Even went so far as to say Boone needs to be...
