Enthusiastically agree. I've always been in favor of move up. My three App buddies were moaning about the change. Full of doomsday talk about attendance and the program.

All that changed with the incredible finish to the 2014 Season. Now it's who do we play next and I can't wait till next year's Miami and Tennessee game.
Seriously, yesterday I was talking with some guys at work about next year and their jaws hit the floor when they heard Miami was coming to Boone. Never would've happened in the SoCon. Games like that pave the way to more name teams coming to Boone and more increased interest in the Apps as a program and as a university.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. That being said, that guy (King) is obviously an idiot who is trolling and stirring the pot.

It's an internet comment section. If you choose to read it, you should pretty much know what you're getting into.

Very true. I rarely ever read the comments for exactly that reason.

I'd say it was validated when we got Wake and Miami to agree to play in Boone.

Completely agree. The only aspect of the FCS (and playoffs) are the extra games to watch. Does everyone remember the excitement felt when we found out that one of our games was actually going to be broadcast on ESPN? That was a huge step up from the PBS broadcasts- brutal watch. Wake and Miami definitely a massive jump from NCCU and Presbyterian.
