Boise Discussion - 7:30pm

I ask this with all seriousness. It’s mentioned over and over that we can only compete with a big influx of money. How exactly is that going to work at App? How much money is needed? What is the ROE that is acceptable? If we go 6-6 on average is that worth it? Will money buy desire? Will money prevent penalties and awful turnovers? I believe there is a reason why a huge number of players are available in the portal for us to choose from. They weren’t good enough to play at or above our level. Some might have been lazy or had bad attitudes. We need a coach (maybe we have him) who can make over half of a new roster each year gel. It’s a huge challenge. I suspect that most G5 middle of the pack teams will bounce around between 5-7 and 8-4 every year.

The secret that no one seems to want to admit is that NIL is NOT the reason App is losing because NIL hasn’t ACTUALLY changed the game. There has always been a massive money disparity in college sports. Now, it’s just wide out in the open. App will be good again when they get back to what they’ve always been. The underdog. The little engine that could. Like someone else said, focus on developing players and gleaning the overlooked players who have a chip on their shoulder. Lots and lots of those guys still exist.

I agree. Teams like App didn’t used to lose the better players unless they wanted to sit out a season. Now they don’t. We also don’t lose players who upgraded for a payday even to be a backup. We aren’t going to find studs who sat the bench at P4’s and magically become All Americans at App State. I wish we could really just recruit, develop and try to retain those hidden gems we used to find.

All of Loggains' NFL talk might be on point. Sure looks like the Panthers from 111 in Boise.

[LKN_Lawyer]

We honestly need to consider FCS. I say this with great displeasure.

That might be the dumbest $hit I've heard in my life. Congratulations!

Thanks! We will just continue to get blown out by programs we formerly considered peers.

Well to be fair, Boise is the class of G5.

Same as we once were

Ok then well just pack it up and go play Lindenwood every week instead of having P5 schools coming to Boone.

Look, I didn’t actually mean it. The last 5-6 years have taken a toll on my sanity.

Would be exciting based on this years game though.

[yosef69]

Without Swanns poor decision making, this game would be within reach. We have 2 QB whisperers and he keeps making these throws.

[Stonewall]

Develop talent and it leaves for money. In today’s game you get what you pay for. And we are struggling. The bright side is that most of our conference mates are in the same boat.

Truth. Virginia Tech made a living with that lunch pail attitude when they were finding low 3 star guys and developing them. We can get back to that. Had we played Va Tech in those days, they probably would have beat us pretty good.

[boonetodd]

Well castle looked good again today for duke.

[Pikapp79]

It’s where we are. No sense worrying about it.

barely beat THEM

[AppinVA]

We’ve got to concentrate on getting the hungry players through the portal. FCS guys who have been developed there and are eager to prove themselves. And then hit the occasional right P5 transfer wanting the same.

Being miserable is the easiest thing you’ll ever do.

[asucrazy]

Who is the clown on the FS1 halftime show, doing the Appalayshun BS. Its enough we are getting abused by Boise, but to get this.

You’re right…we should drop back to D2 so we have a chance!

They had a chance to beat us with seconds left in the fourth quarter

[yosef69]

Just remembering… this performance is off a bye week.

Just remembering… this performance is off a bye week.

And that’s what I find most concerning.
