Don't feel bad for Joey. He is going to make 1M to sit on bench, if he stays at UCLA and that is 1M more than he would have made had he pursued the NFL. https://x.com/On3sports/status/1912612318246039742 Hopefully he has a signed contract from the NIL collective I told a friend yesterday and I'll s...

After seeing the post about womens tennis getting a win versus a ranked opponent (congrats to the ladies), I got to thinking about all App teams histories with national rankings at the top level (FBS for football, and post 1971 D1 for everyone else) and thought it would be more interesting here tha...

It’s today, for those who celebrate.


Feats of Strength will begin at noon.


I’VE GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE, AND NOW YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT!

When do we start airing our grievances?

While I like the idea of ACC schools coming to KBS I am not going to become all giddy and shickled titless just because NCSU is supposed to come up the mountain. We don't need to play any of the ACC blue bloods to validate our team and school but I do think playing them and keeping the money in Nort...

To DOTE you said and I quote: "The budget should be Bigger now, because the school has grown the student body, alumni base, etc etc. That has to do with population not who the AD is. Population drives Donations/Budgets." We now have around 150,000+ alumni. The student body has grown which in turn h...

Just my $0.02 worth but any monies that I give will go to the YC since they 1) benefit all sports and 2) the YC contributes to the AFAA. I don't want my money going to players who may/may not be around after 6 months or to "rent" players for a season.

Thoughts and prayers. I was accepted into UNC back in the day, but thankfully there was divine intervention and I went to ASU.

I never applied there, never wanted to. If my grandmother knew I'd applied or even rooted for them she'd cut me out of the will forthwith!

You are not alone in that thought.

Agreed. Hire Heather now. She's earned it and I've not seen or read anything negative regarding her tenure. It's time to remove the interim title.

Love how he pronounced Appalachian State

I did not like, "Roll neers."

Nor did I. That was the only downer to the entire video.

I'm excited to see DJ back on campus and on the staff. I wonder where all the nay-sayers who said hiring Shawn Clark was a "lazy hire" and that we stuck with the "good ol' boy" network are now. Crickets.... Apples and oranges. I repeat I like the hire but: Clark: Mountaineer and multiple venues of ...

"Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!"

Seriously, may all my Mountaineer brothers and sisters have the best and merriest Christmas ever!

We will be working with significantly more funds this summer when we’re able to allocate ~20% of athletics revenue to paying athletes. Will be interesting to see how our department handles that. Yep, that will be interesting to see how that plays. With that said, we need a sugar daddy to give us $1...

I've said it, others have said, and I'll continue to say it even though those bundles of brains in the NCAA will not make this change: you get ONE free transfer. One. Uno. Each subsequent transfer includes one year sitting out.

True, but if this one doesn’t work out I’d wager he’ll be a fall guy. DG has done much more postive than negative during his tenure and arguably the best AD we’ve had in the last 30+ years. Saint I'm with you. DG's hiring record so far has been pretty dang good so it's time to give the man some sup...

Damnation, guys. Folks wanted Clark gone and it happened. Now there's a new sheriff in town and before the ink is dry on his contract the fantastic Mountaineer Nation and fan base that has been bragged on nationally is pushing him under the friggin' bus. Let's all take a deep breath, cool off, relax...

There were better options on the table. The SC folks are happy. If he brings sellers I will be happy.

That all depends on which USC fans you talk to. I'm in SC and they're not too happy about him leaving.

We will likely see plenty of interest in transferring in pretty soon. Like next week. Hopefully the transcripts and accepting credits aren’t an issue. Don't hold your breath. That was a big problem for Shawn during his tenure. Registrar would stone-wall credits and players could not transfer in. Th...

Now that the deed is done and all the anti-Shawn Clark folks are tickled pink I have a few comments. First, I hope that we somehow find the $$$ to pay the next HC a 7 figure salary like some of our SB brethren are doing. Second, all YC members need to make sure that they back-track on the threats t...
