Re: Th. 12/18 6:30pm - MBB vs Coastal Carolina

We’ve got to get DJ and the other dude to be slightly more App leaning. When the other team puts you in a headlock and wrestles you to the floor, it’s acceptable to acknowledge that it’s not allowed. We’ve got to get our operations crew to equalize their levels and turn the gain down. Holy cow. Whe...

Re: High Point in Hickory

Not the point of the conversation, but that's a middle school attached to the back side of LR. The high school is about a mile away from LR's campus. That's my home town and I grew up close enough I used to ride my bike up to LR and back all the time. Talking about the game...what High Point was ab...

Re: Who is the "last great App State player"?

I was thinking about schools' various version of a "ring of honor"...whatever apparatus they have in-stadium to recognize great players and how an entire generation will go by without adding anyone new.

Re: Portal time 25-26

I'd hate to be a coach right now. You've got exactly ONE YEAR with each team, you spend more time fixing the problems (as you see them) in a player's game from their previous coach than you can developing them to be the player to fit your system. Then POOF, they're gone. Once they declare for the po...

Th. 12/18 6:30pm - MBB vs Coastal Carolina

Sun Belt home opener!!!

Coastal is 6-5 overall and has lost 3 of their last 5. All three losses were on the road. Two of them weren't close.

Coastal is sitting at 227 in Kenpom.
App State is 257

Who is the "last great App State player"?

I was thinking about the portal and the lack of legacy these players leave behind when they come and go so quickly...and it got me thinking: Until something changes or until some unicorn comes along and gives us an amazing season, who will go down as the last great App State player / App State guy? ...

How long will we have access?

I fully believe we’ll see a changing of the rules to raise the barrier of entry or shut the G5 out of the CFP entirely after the complete fan and media pundit melt down over 2 G5s getting in. So, how long do you all think we have until that happens? The current deal runs through 2031-32 but I don’t ...

What if we pulled a Miami 2.0 in 2026

So, currently South Carolina doesn't have a 12th game scheduled for the 2026 season and as we know, they've kicked the can down the road on their visit to Boone and few of us believe that return trip will ever happen. Dowell Loggains and Doug Gillin have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever!...

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!

Disappointed but unsurprised that the score act didn’t even make it to a vote. It would’ve given the CSC power to set some enforceable rules.

Re: SI The Rock video

Funny, for a video about how great the stadium is, the story barely touched on it at all. Glad they didn’t mention the giant cracks running through the east stands or the claustrophobic concourses. 😅 How do you talk about how great the fans and the stadium are but feature almost no clips of packed s...

A lot can change*, but as-of 10:45am on December 3rd, App has the #1 class in the Sun Belt in total points (helped out by the fact we're taking a bigger class than most) and average rating. The #59 class overall. And we're the only program in the Sun Belt that has signed a 4-star out of high school ...

Re: MBB vs Elon, 11/24 - 6:30pm

So the expectation is for our coach to basically rebuild a roster every year with portal pieces (probably down grades at best) and make them gel into a 20 win team? Uh good luck with that. Basically. Yeah. Other programs are doing it and having success. I don’t like it but it’s the way it is right ...
