We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Is that the same diner that Luke Combs used in one of his latest music videos?
Yes. Back in the day it was called Mel's. Now it is Troy's. It is on 105 right across from where Sagebrush is (was)
Gotcha...thx. I've never been there but now may have to pay them a visit...

Haven't been to that diner since late 90s I would guess. Of course drunk and it was like 1-2am.

Our last 5 years in Boone we lived close to Troy’s and Sunrise Grill. Sunrise always messed the order up or just plain forgot to refill the coffee cup. Never had a bad breakfast at Troy’s.

Great reveal. I’m ready to yell like hell for our mountaineers. Go Apps!

FWIW, Here’s a some helmet history.
https://www.helmethistory.com/appalachian-state.html
1989 helmet, Jerry Moore’s first year.

Sure hope we can hire Max to do all our mass media content if he is interested.
I'd like to see us do a game wearing the 1983-1988 helmet with the Yosef head profile in the circle. That was what they wore when I first moved to Boone. Seems we could sell t-shirt or other gear as throwbacks using that logo too.

Speaking of uniform reveals, Duke's looks awfully familiar! :shock:

Blue Devils are getting roasted on Twitter! :lol:

Yeah. Having a late night drunken meal or an early morning hangover breakfast at Mel's was a right of passage

I thought that logo was horrible back in the mid 80s. That's one that I don't care to revive but you could be right, maybe it would be popular throwback and Sparky and Mack can come to town.

What’s up everybody. Long time no post. I gotta say not only do I like the promo, I really like the white block A on the helmets. Maybe I’m just an old fuddy duddy now…

That was a sick uniform reveal!

But how old do these kids think we are? 1989 was guns and roses not 50’s 60’s music ….LOL
