For all who slammed me for starting this thread, it was warranted and it’s even sweeter to see Joey announce this from the NIL account. Keep donating. Just because you’re sitting on the sideline doesn’t mean other schools are.

This is depressing. BGP spent way too much time talking about this as well. I would rather talk about the Sun Belt Championship Game. It really is. It’s just the nature of the beast though and a very poignant example of “careful what you wish for.” It's not that. Players deserve all the money they ...

I know we all dislike the state of things and it would be nearly impossible to ever compete, but it’s not a pipe dream to have enough reserves to make the decision much harder. How much do you think it would take to get a kid to choose us over someone that offered $250k? That’s a great question. I ...

Coastal was able to hold onto Grayson McCall for three years of NIL and many of their talented players who could've left to go elsewhere. I'd hope App can do the same.

He’s going to attempt transferring again (just announced).

what’s it going to take? His current valuation is around 550k. Can we pony up the cash? And does anyone know how we donate to the NIL collective? I found the website but can’t find an area where you can actually donate.

Wild to consider it’s a battle of the two worst teams in the sun belt and we’re one of the two. Things I wouldn’t have dreamed even 2 years ago..

We are the doormat of the Sun Belt

Moving on from ODU, let’s move on from Clark too

If and of course it’s an if we lose tonight, it’s completely reasonable to think we may only have one winnable game left on the schedule. If we’re worried about getting “set back” from a 6 win year followed by a 4 win year, then that’s absolutely lazy. Being “set back” assumes there’s progress.

I absolutely love Clark as a person and I think he equally loves app state but at what point do you start to think about the possibilities of getting a hungry and successful FCS coach or an equally hungry OC/DC from a good team?

Regardless of the result, I can’t wait to bring popcorn to this thread in about 3 hrs.

I hope I’m wrong but until proven otherwise, I’ve gotta pick with my head and not my heart.

So realistically, it might be years before we win a championship. The Sunbelt has gotten better and we haven't. Well. The good thing about the portal is that nothing is “years” out now. Yeah, Clark kills the portal. Come on. We are even in the top HALF of the FBS anymore. Well now I didn’t say Clar...

I watched them today and I don’t know if I’ve felt more certain in recent memory - maybe since Georgia that we’ll not only lose but get absolutely annihilated. We will be lucky to keep them from scoring 50 on us that Saturday. And I’m not even sure that’s an indictment on us - I just think they’re t...

Some names to love: Jimmy Rogers - HC @ South Dakota State. 2022 FCS champs. Arguably the best FCS coach in football. Young, innovative and plays a tough, gritty style of football with the blue collar chip on the shoulder attitude we’ve come to know well. Collin Klein - OC @ Kansas State. Consistent...

This team is loaded with talent and they’re certainly capable of so much but looking ahead: Coastal, Marshall, JMU, Ga State and Southern are all very likely close games at this juncture in the season. We better hope we can secure wins against ULM, ODU, and USM, because statistically speaking, we ca...

Yes, why rush the field when you are the better team, program and expected to win. Might as well have rushed the field against Gardner Webb. We’re trying to apply logic to drunk 18-20 year old kids who watched the team miss a bowl game last year. I agree with the sentiment but they’re going to do w...
