ESPN Gameday Was Right
Congrats to the Trojans! ESPN was right in coming to Boone to see the future Sunbelt champs play an impressive game.
Thanks for beating the mulleted fools.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
After watching CCU's last two games, just don't understand how they beat us. They look horrible.

It is pretty simple, Jamie Chadwell used up his team in the win against Appalachian which led to his downfall against JMU and Troy.AppState89 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 7:59 pmAfter watching CCU's last two games, just don't understand how they beat us. They look horrible.
I mean look at this, App barely lost to two teams and barely beat two teams in the first four weeks of the season. Two of those teams played in their conference championship games this weekend (It really should have been JMU not CCU in the Sun Belt Championship Game). I just do not see how anyone can say that Appalachian is a bad team that can do that. I just seems that App used up its players in the first four weeks of the season. ODU, JMU, and Troy proved just what frauds Coastal was this season. Some may say that App was a fraud, but you do not Beat Texas A&M and play everyone as close as App has this season. This season has not lived up to expectations in some regards, but at the end of the season all anyone will remember is the win at Texas A&M, the Troy Hail Mary, and College Game Day. I mean heck all they could mention about Troy in the championship game is their loss to App.
App is much better at storming the field than so many other colleges I have seen this season. It is because we are used to winning, because we are winners; I believed that we were not whinners, but I have been proved wrong lately.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
I have friends/relatives all over the country - they have become App fans over the years and I can guarantee you not a one of them could tell me what App's record was this year - they remember beating Texas A&M, and most importantly College Game Day in Boone. So many contacted me after GameDay to say how great it was - I would also say most think we are going to a bowl game because all of our bowl tie-ins most have never heard of or even know where they are being played. Yes, we all know this season was a down year and not what we expected but our nationwide fans who have other teams as their #1 are still App fans ---AppWyo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:55 pmIt is pretty simple, Jamie Chadwell used up his team in the win against Appalachian which led to his downfall against JMU and Troy.AppState89 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 7:59 pmAfter watching CCU's last two games, just don't understand how they beat us.

This App team burned hot and fast early and then didn't get "lucky" or "capitalize" at times that really mattered over the rest of the season. If you think about it had 5 tackles been made over 5 games we beat UNC, JMU, Coastal, GSU & Marshal.
In a couple years I think we'll remember the highs from this season rather than the lows.
And lastly there are some really talented freshman and sophomores that got good playing time as the season drug on...Arnolt, Hagler, Marshal, OL, DaShaun Davis, Kanye...We've got what it takes to win. Give them time.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
App was not a “bad” team this year, just not a good team.

All the comments on what woulda/coulda been because of a few plays here are there are true but the difference is the the really good teams perform consistently better (playing and coaching) in all facets and create a wider margin of error so a play or call here or there doesn’t cost you the game.
We have been there in the past and just need to get back there.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
You are so correct. There were several games that a play here or there changed the game for us. Just bad breaks. If those would have gone our way, we would have won at least 3 if not 4 more games.AtlAppMan wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 9:32 amApp was not a “bad” team this year, just not a good team.

I’d also put Ethan Johnson and Omari Philyaw among the players who have a bright future for us.

further proof that outside of North Carolina (and other Sun Belt teams), other college fans like App football and pull for us.WVAPPeer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 10:06 pmI have friends/relatives all over the country - they have become App fans over the years and I can guarantee you not a one of them could tell me what App's record was this year - they remember beating Texas A&M, and most importantly College Game Day in Boone.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
Looking at the bowl projections today really has me hurting. The big four from the ACC all got bowls, good job Duke for having a good season after Cutcliffe. But to see Coastal, Marshall, ECU, Liberty and gulp Ga Southern all get bowls just stings.

After being bowl eligible every year we qualified, it does seem strange not anticipating this day.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
My neighbor is a big ECU fan. We agreed that they got a crappy bowl to include location and opponent. I asked what does a team do for several days in late December in Montgomery? He said he went to a game there before. Answer- nothing.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
I'd still rather be doing nothing in Montgomery against the Pirates than sitting on the couch all of December.
Even after the whuppin' we took from WKU last year, being one of the teams left out is a bummer. Not going to a bowl sucks..

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
Why is that during the last 7 years when we went 11-3, 10-3, 9-4, 11-2, 13-1, 9-3 and 10-4....we got stuck playing MAC and CUSA teams...and we were told nothing could be done because of sun belt bowl agreements.
Then a 6-6 Louisana team gets to play Houston and a coastal fresh off 2 slaughters and an early season loss to Old Dominion gets ECU.
What is happening?
