Who do we miss: WCU, Furman, UTC, Elon, Wofford, Samford, Citadel? If you go to any of those venues this fall the answer will be a resounding no one. I would like to play Furman in football about 10 times over the next 20 years. They are the only school that had a winning record against us in the S...

UNC-Greensboro except what they call football is soccer and they are totally urban for all intents and purposes. I took my Earth/Enviro class out to walk along Peabody Park today . That is a very dense little forest right beside downtown on the UNCG campus. Even my students, and 9th graders don't t...

Who wants to educate me about women's collegiate golf??? I saw our tournament score and it was 316. 316 divided by 4 is a 79. I would think we should be able to land 4 women golfers that could break 79. Are they playing from the red tees??? I would think with title 9 all of our ladies are on schola...

To steal one from Lewis Grizzard about Clemson and Auburn — James Madison is really just Appalachian with an interstate. They also have train tracks in town AND through the campus. I am a bit jealous of that I have to admit. McL, they also have an Interstate Highway dividing its two major sections ...

On the same weekend we appoint our interim chancellor, who is a graduate of JMU, the Dukes appoint Charlie King as interim president. King received his undergraduate and master’s from [drum roll] Appalachian State. https://www.jmu.edu/news/2024/04/19-leadership-changes.shtml We are so much alike, J...

GaSo is our main rival at this point. That is it to me. After that, we have some big games against conference foes. How many more do we need? If everyone becomes our "rival" then its pointless. Being a rival in sports means its your top competitor/fan hated/news worthy/whatever kind of game. All th...

Hope we don’t let them become a rival. Do that by beating them consistently. This line of thinking was why I scratched my head when our fans rushed the field after beating CCU at home in 2022. Regardless of their record at that point, we'd beaten them four of the last five meetings. I just didn't s...

You shouldn’t need a DEI program to do the right thing. You should not but here we are and some people do seem to need that nudge. I would like to see DEI expanded to include more class based efforts. Race and class clearly overlap when one begins to look and race and family wealth. But lots of whi...

From what I've seen, out of the latest chancellor changes in the UNC System, only the the recent change at UNC-A saw the interim promoted to full time chancellor. My thought was this. If she is interim then she is not going to be permanent. Likely be in this position for a year and then might be le...

It seems that any construction at KBS will happen after the 105 project (which is behind schedule and over budget) and the IPF (which seems to have its own funding issues) are completed. And of course all of these should be behind keeping Kearns (which should be our top priority). Rapid inflation h...

The next Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives will be an Appalachian State graduate. There have been 120,000+ graduates of App State or so. I don't know the history of all of those people. There are three or 4 graduates I am embarrassed to call fellow alums. Maybe this person will...

and some alumni as well. Not this alum. Would love to get a chancellor that continues or even increases support for athletics and frankly keeps politics out of the academic side as much as possible. Amen! Not sure why this has to be so hard! GO APPS!! Academics is politics, if you have ever tried t...
