Appalachian has a top school of business, I believe they will get the best deal that can be had. Besides, teams elevate conferences, conferences do not elevate schools. SMU did not get better because they joined the ACC, they were good already. The same is true of BYU. The COB might help. Maybe. Bu...

If I read stats correctly. Over 5 era in 2025. Under 4 era in 2024. Not sure if the changes in staff compliment. Were they a younger group? Did they have a few studs last year that went the way if nil. I know EasyU did not have a typical EasyU year. If they had not won conference tournament, I do n...

Just relaying the news. Heath Blackmon (ECU) is the new PC.

We could definitely do worse. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Pre season rankings generally mean nothing.
Like bowl projections.

It’s naptime…wake me up in August.

Last season, the pundits had App as a strong contender for the SBC crown. Then the wheels fell off.

But those same pundits see a rocky 2026 season ahead for DLO and the kids. So, maybe App gets some reverse juju this year and runs the table?

Anyway you can go back to Gillen’s 12/19/24 App St. Aporoach to changes in college sports… he lays it out in detail. The $330k “payment” is actually a reduction in future payments made from the NCAA to Apps for 10 yrs. It is essentially less for our budget than they planned for and will have to be ...

No thanks; PE’s and VC’s are cancers that destroy everything they touch.

Sluka could be a beast for JMU…kid plays lights out and is fearless.

Finebaum is a schill. He got those wrinkles lines around his mouth from Sankey.

Lennon and McCartney readily admit that they were inspired to create “Sgt. Peppers” after hearing “Pet Sounds”

If you have a chance, watch “The Wrecking Crew” documentary on Amazon. Great segment about Wilson and his songwriting and studio genius!

Few things would make me happier this year than for Evans to make the 53-man roster and score a TD against Vrabel and the Pats.

I halfway expected to see the game winner against Troy in 2022 make the list. But still happy with #5.

Anyone else read this?

Not sure exactly how to categorize Charlie Baker’s comments here…the word “outlandish” keeps popping into my head.

Talented head case.” Locker room nightmare”

That pretty well sums it up.

Just so people understand what reallocating existing funds means, potentially: cutting sports, cutting staff, reducing scholarships from teams that arent football and basketball, reducing budgets (both for teams and operationally), putting construction projects on hold, among other things that I'm ...
