After the A listers visit this weekend, I feel we will never hear App State referred to as a "small school" ever again on the espn family of networks.

Of course without all the YouTube player stuff (I took a quick screen shot) and a Block A shopped in place of the VT logo.

I hope the word gets out to students to put a stop to the profanity and be nothing t but class. Just once let’s take advantage of this showcase.

Game Day would be an excellent platform for Adam Sandler to renounce his comment about App State in The Longest Yard.

Looks like the invitation is still open :lol: :

I've been taking my dog on walks through campus when there's a break and the students are gone. I think the last time was over Easter, and honestly the mall seemed kind of tired. The grass was patchy and some of the stone and brick seemed like it needed a refresh.

Never really cared for the whole area near the dining hall either. It's bland.

I'm sure it'll look fine packed with thousands of folks this weekend.

When I was there, I never paid much attention to the grass. My focus was more on the ..... contours, of the landscape and discussing it with other men of culture.

There's a lot of grass on Sanford Mall. A LOT of grass.

I agree with all the cupcake posts on this thread so far, but hopefully there are a bunch of huge cupcake cutouts and signs referring to it so Herbstreit can't escape it!
This is what I want to see. Too many baked cupcakes may piss Herby off enough to make him really hate us and continue to badmouth/belittle us
yeah I googled after posting and sure enough, Wiki has a page with every location. Lol, wiki is wonderful. Who takes the time to do that?
I wonder if it is an employee of ESPN and the Boone date was up within hours. It is an amazing website. There is a game where you get a starting article and have to find the links to the second article in about 90 seconds. I did one going from the Beatles to bird flight or something like that.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

He talked about it on Monday. On yesterday's show Neuheisel told him he should absolutely do it and Childers said his wife was up for the trip. Sounds like he made the decision to do it.

I don't know when Neuheisel was in Boone, but he was very complimentary of Boone and Western North Carolina. It'll be fun hearing Childers' take on Boone. He's never been here before.

Sorry - I don't watch or listen to much college football talk that isn't on ESPN - I know Neuheisel - who is Childers?

They are on XM channel 84 every morning at 9AM. Talk nothing but college sports. It’s the ESPNU channel. Love listening to them.
