Re: Pro Ball in Boone Area?

I know down the mountain here in WS, they have started a indoor team. I didn't recognize many names on the roster, outside of Chase Blackburn(?), but it seems like there are quite a few names that a WS State fan would be familiar with. If the destination is Boone, I could see a bunch of former Mount...

Re: The Carolina Way (Cont'd)

Well, as a former App SA, you should know, and treasure, the value of having to go to class to earn your degree. And call BS on those who don't. Oh I certainly do. But back in our day, it was State who was well-known to have "crip classes" for athletes, but every school that recruited me back then,...

Blair getting some love

Ronald Blair getting some draft discussion from Mel Kiper and a possible destination in Charlotte. Mentioned among those from "rounds 2-4" in an extremely deep DE draft.

Re: John Settle..Flash from the past

86 was my last year in uniform before the injuries just became too much. I had a chance to suit up with some great guys. I was actually good friends with John's future wife before they met. He had a good pro carrer with the aforementioned Pro Bowl and a Super Bowl ring with the Redskins, though he w...

Re: Do you claim this guy ? ;)

I was one of those that didn't care if we went FBS or not. And I definitely was against the "Sun Belch", as I used to call it. I can admit when I was wrong. The Sun Belt is a much better conference than I anticipated and I am very glad we ended up here. The only ones that don't realize it are that o...

Re: What's next for Appalachian State?

APPsolutely a great season! Next year it will very, very difficult to match this season's success. In the conference, StAte is losing Knighten, GaSo losing their starting QB, but Troy and a few others are improving. We should be the favorites but, as AVery Hall said on the post-game, the SunBelt wri...

Redshirt SOPHOMORE. (http://www.appstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=208646861&DB_OEM_ID=21500) He has two years left. Everyone's favorite player always seems to be the backup quarterback, very cliche. 11-2, best record ever in the SunBelt, 1st first-year FBS team to win a bowl game. I'm sorry...

Re: Anyone know which ESPN crew is covering the game?

2 bad minutes really hurt! Plenty of time and the defense has played great. Just need to mix up the running plays a bit (they have that basic play covered) and get the play action going. Missing Meadors, Nunn, Davante, and McGuire on the O right now. Need the playmakers to step it up.

Re: CBS sports G5 All America Team

I really feel as if we stayed sorta static when we went to the FBS. The P5/G5 split is very real and I think its only a matter of time until it is more "official". I do not want a G5 playoff (though I do wish there was a REAL FBS playoff). Essentially we are the "new 1-AA" though I HATE to say that....

Ranking the Bowls

A very arbitrary look at all 40 bowls and ranked based upon, what appears to be, their potential "watchability". Camelia comes in at 13! Two behind GoDaddy with GaSo vs BG. ArkSt vs LaTech at 25. GaSt vs SJSU? Dead last, 40! Interesting. Looks like most pundits are predicting a 1-3 Bowl season for t...
