Really bad game for us. I hope that we are not becoming irrelevant. Games just don't even have the same feel anymore.

The "feel"may never return. With the transfer portal etc..... not sure how much culture we have anymore with the players and App State.

My take - the 3 interceptions either in or near the end zone - more or less sent the game in another direction. You can only ask so much of the defense. The question - what did the QB see. The one was a fluke bobble up in the air. The other 2 interceptions they're thrown into heavy coverage. Swann s...

Well.... Seems we are flat. This has been a tough game to watch. Still watching - had to take a slight break to get my wife a book to read. Maybe the book will keep her from yelling at the TV.

I usually stay out of the Eric Church conversation - however, enough is enough. What a slap in the face to App State…..

I noticed as very good vibe on the sidelines.

I was impressed with the way Swann moved and navigated in the pocket - never looked overwhelmed.

Nice drive! Team appears to have some fire in them. Good vibe on the sidelines!

Not sure this is the best - We have HULU and ESPN plus. Seems to get the most for what I watch sports wise. At least on the college level.

New coach - 1st time head coach - pivotal year for App State. He needs to do and coach his way. I believe I saw we have 51 new players. This is a whole new staff and team. Probably is taking a while to put all the pieces together. Even continuity with practice etc.... I also like to hear what is hap...

Plus - he has never been the standout player that UT hoped for. Last year UT made it to the playoffs with defense - not Nico. He disappeared when they needed him the most and the coach changed from the no huddle fast paced offense to a much slower offense - to help Nico. I currently live in Knoxvill...

I still believe this is far from over. Will it change? Probably - however, will the top 1% be able to sustain dominance? Who knows..... College sports have always been supported by the underdog. Everyone will get tired of the same schools year after year - being in the championship game. There is so...

Question - I have noticed only a few lineman from the TP and only maybe 1 in the recruiting class. Is that ai sign that the new coaching staff believes we have the lineman we need? Or, are we just not able to secure any starters of depth.

Interesting conversation. A lot of great points of view and more questions than answers. With the athletes as the focal point and recipient of the NIL and very loose rules of the transfer portal - they could be eroding the very mechanism that is supplying the opportunity. It will be interesting to ...

Any updates on assistants? OC and DC?

this hire would make me really nervous...no hc experience...not an offensive coordinator...makes no sense to me...history has shown with G5's finding an offensive coordinator who can hire the right DC has great success Agree - offense is key for us. I am also for the offensive minded coach - with a...

In several articles - we have been mentioned as one of the premier G5 coaching locations.

To the original question - on December 2nd I will prep for the holidays and getting a few days of fishing into the schedule. And... get ready for next season - changes or no changes. I will pull for App no matter what the decision is on Clark or another aspect of the program.

Kinda of hard to get excited about the 2025 schedule based on the 2024 on field performance. Hopefully we start trending in the right direction.

If (and I am not making an argument on a buyout of not) a buyout is needed, and we do not have, or cannot afford to pay $500k or $1m to move on - we have a lot bigger issues than wins and losses. I believe we have 20k in students, a high level education and historically robust athletic department th...
