Since 1979 (outside of playoff bowls), this is only the 2nd time that two teams from the same conference played each other in a bowl game. The only other time was in 2015, Colorado St vs Nevada. At least, that is what AI told me.

Last year BYU beat Colorado in the Alamo Bowl.

Dumbest thing we can do is take this. Just decline it and move on.

What are you talking about? Teams playing in bowl games get 20 hours of practice time per week leading up to their bowl. Why in the world would we ever decline 60 additional practice hours?

Nunn was the Head Coach when Dale Jones was DC at GMC in the early 90s. It would certainly be a major get.

Thought that meant you were dying...? But seriously, it doesn’t make sense that we can announce hires from outside weeks earlier than we could someone internally. He seems like a good guy with a resume of success at the HS ranks. Seems like a guy you would want recruiting for us. I don't think it's...

We're not going to be poaching a bunch of rising-star assistants from successful FBS programs. We just don't have the money for it. Satt was surprisingly successful at getting guys to make lateral moves, but mostly we're going to be hiring either young guys very early in their careers or older "jou...

Hannon was listed as 6'2 260 last year and I'm pretty sure he didn't allow a sack all year. Davis-Gaither will be taking over Stringer's role, and he was listed at 208 last year and nobody seemed to have a problem with his size/performance.

It’s almost impossible to grade in hindsight because how do you account for coaching changes, injuries, poor player development, and even good old fashioned bad luck? You’ll never convince me that Jimbo Fisher isn’t one of the five or ten best coaches in college football, a great recruiter, and grea...

I'd be surprised if Woody didn't offer Brown and Ivey spots on his staff at Georgia Tech.

The money is a myth argument at a certain point. This "everybody gets a ribbon".. sort of deal, just ruins what should be a reward for teams with a strong winning record. I'm sorry, I'm just old school on this. I used to feel this way, then I realized two things. First, a 6-6 Big Ten team would get...

Expecting 20 wins from our basketball program is laughable. In 46 seasons in the SoCon and Sun Belt we reached 20 wins exactly 8 times. Buzz did it four times, Cremins did it twice, and once each for Fancher and Apke. Until we actually decide to invest in and support the program as a fan base, we sh...

From the App Band FB page: It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Dr. Kevin Richardson will be leaving Appalachian State University. Over the past 6 years, Dr. Richardson has fostered a thriving marching band program and exceptional symphony band. We would like to thank Dr. Richardson and h...

If we were not allowed to be critical or speak up, our football schedule would still contain teams like west carolina, Mercer, Samford, etc. and we would be playing with home crowds of around 15K. I have to echo Moose here. Who in the world is saying people can’t be critical? This is a message boar...

Usually means testing the waters. Going to see what they need to work on for their senior year. If you're not going in the first round your contract isn't guaranteed. So unless he wants to go play in the G league he'll go get some notes and come back to Boone. This. It's a smart move for any rising...

The amount of negativity in this thread is baffling. It's not like Jim Fox took a dumpster fire program at a school with no notable basketball tradition and just finished .500 in conference, won a game in the conference tournament, and had the best non-conference win in the entirety of the Sun Belt....

How can you give a guy with a 45-78 record an extension? The strong end of the season finish pushed back some termination talks on here, but you can't give an extension to someone that has nothing to show. Not giving him an extension is cutting off your nose to spite your face. We have already hear...

Agreed, however, I see no improvement, only regression. We were more competitive early on than we are now, no doubt. Once again, it is what is is. I realize our team is young, but, I see no progression at all. If you do, please enlighten me. We are aware of your opinion, there is no need to hijack ...

Is there a single adult posting in this thread? Jesus Christ this is embarrassing to read. Then don't read it. Whether I read it or not isn’t going to make it less ridiculous.

Is there a single adult posting in this thread? Jesus Christ this is embarrassing to read.

Obviously our win at Michigan was and probably still is the biggest upset in college football history. Who would be second? In my mind in order for a game to come under this consideration the big opponent would have to finish the year either highly ranked or still win a bowl game. If memory serves ...
