No way we go 5-7. I was fearful of 4-8 or 5-7 if we did not make a change but I have no clue what to expect with so much turnover. I don't think we go 5-7 either but I have no expectation. I am not sitting here feeling like we have to hit a certain number of wins or it is a failure. I am completely...

This is the 1st one I've seen and they're not thinking too highly of us, which can be understood. https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/sun-belt-football-rankings-2025-spring-preview An ODU guy sent this to me, and now I see it's from March, before Spring ball and portal, but still. Athl...

Griffin never played anywhere did he?

Don't think so. He entered the transfer portal in 2021 and I have not seen him pop up anywhere.

Would love for him to sneak into the second round but that is unlikely. It would be big for us but I am with you. I am fully expecting him to get signed by a NBA team after the draft or straight to G-League. I don't normally watch the NBA Draft but will tune in for the second round just to see if h...

So far he has had 8 private workouts with NBA teams over the last few weeks. He has worked out for Hornets, Pelicans, Bulls, Clippers, Warriors, Suns, Lakers, and Cavs. Does he have a shot to get drafted late? I would think he has strong odds to get signed as a UDFA but wondering if he could slide i...

Congrats, Dino! Well deserved!!!

Agreed! I don't expect him to get in this year but he deserves to get in eventually. He was a great linebacker!

Is our roster pretty much set or do we still expect some movement? Slower guys out, faster guys in. I imagine that we are set. The portal is closed and we are at 85 scholarships. Don’t know what the plan is once the House Settlement is complete to know how many more scholarships we will fund. The f...

How many former App players have had nice runs in the pros but didn’t really get conference accolades while in Boone? Seems like quite a few weren’t really considered great in college but had good careers in the NFL Are you referring to Ryan? People forget he was a two-time All-Sun Belt pick by coa...

If he wants to recruit Virginia like he says in the article he should drop App and UVA and play at ODU. Let's be real here he isn't recruiting kids in Boone or Charlottesville, he's recruiting the 757. He should play Charlotte and drop ECU. He recruits Charlotte more than Greenville. Like his AD an...

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 i...

No it’s not. Show me one example of an FBS program playing away at an fcs program in the modern era. Just one. This is like the Yankees saying they will not play away at the Tampa bay rays and you saying it’s the same as Tampa refusing to play at the Charlotte Knights. I don’t need too because it h...

His logic on why they should not play App in Boone is the same logic some on here applied to why App shouldn’t play at Western. No it’s not.

first, our new coach has to earn the respect we had. But the Pack Pride page seems to think he will retire after next year or 27. We'll see. Would like to catch them with a new coach though.

I would love to get them with a new coach. I fully expect us to have a different coach by 2028 as well.

Grown men aren’t “scared” of playing a football game. That is fan speak. I put a question mark and don't really think he is scared of us. I do think with his job security he does not want to play on the road to a G5 or play a top tier G5 that could beat him. Western Carolina gave him a scare for a ...

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...
