One good thing, the expectations will be lower so maybe we can catch some teams by surprise. That may help us pull off some wins.

Here is how it will play out with the PE. PEs will only be in it for the profit. If you can show a way to make money they will have an interest. If your venture does not have a way to make money then they will not be interested. Given that fact above, the litmus test will be, what is the income, whe...

I have no idea what our final record will be at this moment. Too many variables at this point. Here is best I can say. I do believe we have a significant upgrade with our coaching staff. We may have equal talent. Question is can staff get them dialed in quick enough. My bet is we get better as the y...

He had a motor and killer instinct.

I remember one game where we lost, can’t remember opponent, but at end they were taking a knee to run out clock and he tried to anticipate snap to dive over line to force QB to fumble. Didn’t work as offsides but he would never quit.

Most of the G5 fanbases don't show period all for weeknight games. The fact that App State can get 30K+ to Boone on a Thursday night is incredible. If the team performs like that, I don't blame anyone for leaving early, especially those who for a close game wouldn't get home until after midnight. H...

I’ve never seen such a mass exodus in my life at a home football game. That was one of the lowest points of the program. Very true, the fans really showed their ass. The team was losing 40 points to a historically inferior conference opponent on a weeknight game. Who showed their ass? Our team was ...

I’ve never seen such a mass exodus in my life at a home football game. That was one of the lowest points of the program. Very true, the fans really showed their ass. Just to be fair, if the same had happened at other schools, what percentage of those would have experienced the same reaction? Let's ...

A few years ago, Army went to Yale for the 100th Anniversary of the Yale Bowl. And Yale won in overtime. I consider that a special circumstance. It wouldn't have counted for Army's bowl eligibility anyway because Yale didn't have football scholarships (must have 56 average schollies over the last t...

Doeren doesn't want to play App in Boone for whatever contrived reasons he states. Also many have said then why are you putting a single FCS on your schedule even at home? So would he be willing to play all his OOC games home and away with UGA, Texas, Ohio State and etc. in a single season, since th...

What sux to me is that he sees “no value” in playing an in state team that can compete. When do the people of NC start to matter in this equation? Every time we play an in state FBS team the people of NC prove, with their presence, that the game has value to them. The actual people who foot the bil...

Part of this is the ACC is trying to make themselves feel like they are a bigger player in the P4 world. If we are a top 25 team it doesn't matter but the ACC wants to act like they are bigger fish than reality justifies. Yes, they have more resources but we have the same number of scholarships that...

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 Gr...

Regarding the "expectations" that the media and other coaches picked App to finish well after a "good not great" previous year were, IMO, just assuming that the coaching staff had things under control and would do a good job of coaching up the team that had? At our level, folks don't dig too deep in...

Don’t be surprised if there is a scandal with her and a player next.

I think Carolina got more than they bargained for in this hire.

Is there another portal opening before the season starts?

I don’t believe so. The only caveat is that graduate players can enter at anytime.

You mean free agents?

I've not read of our peers having this much success in the spring round? What percentage is due to our staff crushing it vs. others being in a better position with the talent coming back? I'd like to think more of the former! My guess is in first round of portal our staff was still incomplete and D...

Joey wings at the ale house?

How are the Joey wings? Do they have more fire and zip on them?

I would venture to say at this point the numbers of missing from 247 for App may likely be similar for other schools. I can undstand 247 does not have immediate visibility into every school's activities and that goes for all FBS not just App. That being said what they are reporting for App is probab...

The idea is good but there would have to be some ROI to support this. They don't call some of them revenue sports for nothing. The good thing mentioned above is that we may already have much of the infrastructure in place and it may merely be getting some folks (probably students to contain cost) to...
