What is the likelihood that some of the portal guys wind up withdrawing and remaining at App? Excluding those who were asked to leave, would the others be welcome back? Anybody have a feel for this angle? Back in the day, most programs cut off a player for announcing his was leaving, but in today's ...

I think the emphasis on P4 transfers is easy to understand but misguided. The coaches have been looking for the home run but we don't have a line-up that is getting on base. We've had a few good ones, but I absolutely think that FCS is where we should focus on building Guys with starting experience ...

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Regarding Wilson, I think he played pretty well considering the situation. He had a depleted team around him. He provided a huge spark in the running game that neither AJ nor JJ added. His passing game had flashes but obviously turnovers (bad decisions / execution) were an issue. That's not hard to ...

OK, I get the knee jerk reaction to Kirby Smart and that's fine, but listen to the video again. He isn't telling these young men not to look to the portal. His comment is about all the social media announcements. They announce they're going to the portal. They announce they're staying. His comment i...

I hope that bowling was foreshadowing on the bowl game we are there for.

Hey, you guys are free to hate Kirby, but there's nothing about Georgia's program that isn't true of every other elite P4. Regarding the "tampering" comment, I'd be interested what that is based on. Georgia relies less on transfers than any other team in the playoffs by a LONG shot. If App were to l...

If a team is really that good, they should be able to win their conference. That is the only way to make it fair and guarantee the best teams are in the playoffs. Anything less is just a beauty contest. You will never have the very best teams in the playoffs until you do, because some conferences a...

https://twitter.com/radinabulsi/status/2003494905562501584?s=46&t=UfUtPHfzYe5R3hJ5cku44g Couldn’t agree more. Quit taking the easy way out. Dig your heels in, practice and get better with your brothers. NFL doesn’t give those 2nd chances for borderline guys. Hopefully our guys got better in Decembe...

I feel like a separate playoff is still premature but I realize it is ultimately almost inevitable and always has been. Even before we moved up, the discussion was about an eventual split between the P5/G5 and part of the rationale for moving up was to avoid being stacked down even further in obscur...

T Heni would be on my list. Ended career with App State record for career catches (242) while ranking No. 2 in career receiving yards (3,124) and No. 4 in career receiving TDs (23) He is definitely up there, but remember he did have an extra year. The dude was a starter for 5 years, I would hope he...

I personally don't care if ND ever plays in another post season game. I don't think it's the death sentence that some on here do. The issues impacting the Bowl System have been building for years. I do think the number of Bowls will decrease but I don't think it dies out completely. Over the next 10...

They should be mad that Alabama got in...not Miami. Alabama had three losses. By the way...i agree with the CFP......i thought they nailed the selections. Alabama's third loss is to a top 5 team in an extra game that Miami didn't have to play. I can't stand Bama, but they had multiple wins over ran...

The AAC is running on fumes and past reputation. The Belt is down this year, but won't stay down. The AAC will get raided for talent this off season just like the SBC did last year and the Belt will cycle to the top....with the new PAC 12 (or whatever they ultimately call themselves) as the biggest ...

I think that Chesney is coaching the playoff game....at least last I heard.

I didn’t say they needed to change.

Ha! Fair enough! I stand corrected. I do think the ACC rules need to change though. Clearly flawed

They will change the rules. This will not happen again. I don't think the CFP rules need to be changed as much as the individual conference rules need to change. They aren't worried about the SEC or Big 10, but I bet they push the ACC and probably the Big 12 to make sure their championship game cri...

Folks, the auto-bid rules were designed to allow representation....some sort of path....for all conferences. The intent was for the P4 champs to get in and for there to be ONE representative for the G5. This year, the ACC botched things and opened the door for the second G5 team. I really don't get ...
