Re: 1/8 - MBB at Georgia State - 7pm

You've got to be a special kind of fan to watch this tonight instead of Ole Miss / Miami.

Re: FCS national championship

Just makes me think, I don’t want the G5 to be relegated to the new FCS, but if it does happen it might not be that bad. Just as long as ESPN funds it, promotes it, and doesn’t bury it by scheduling it the same day as NFL games, the product on the field would be pretty good. ESPN seems to be promot...

FCS national championship

Oh my what a ballgame. It had everything. A nearly sold out crowd in Nashville, momentum swings, huge plays, blunders at the worst possible times, and a guy named “Taco”. I am still vehemently opposed to a G5 national championship because of all the implications of relegating ourselves to the new FC...

1/8 - MBB at Georgia State - 7pm

How many free throws will our guys miss in this one? Seriously, hire a coach who only teaches these players how to shoot free throws and we’ll win 5-6 more games a year.

Re: 1/3 - MBB at Marshall - 4pm

Woah woah woah! Their student section is empty (still on break I presume) but the paying customers sections are full…is that legal? That never happens in Boone.

Re: Portal time 25-26

How many portal players who come to Boone will be there more than 1 season? It’s not even worth learning their names anymore.

Re: 1/3 - MBB at Marshall - 4pm

Marshall big winced in pain as he went off the court early. That helps us some. He’s a 22 min/gm, 10 ppg player.

1/3 - MBB at Marshall - 4pm

Marshall, top 150 team favored by 6.5 at home. 9-5 on the season and they score a lot. They average about 80ppg. They look to move the ball a little better than we do but they don’t play the best defense. I like our chances to pull the upset.

Re: Th. 12/18 6:30pm - MBB vs Coastal Carolina

We’ve got to get DJ and the other dude to be slightly more App leaning. When the other team puts you in a headlock and wrestles you to the floor, it’s acceptable to acknowledge that it’s not allowed. We’ve got to get our operations crew to equalize their levels and turn the gain down. Holy cow. Whe...

Not the point of the conversation, but that's a middle school attached to the back side of LR. The high school is about a mile away from LR's campus.

Re: Who is the "last great App State player"?

I was thinking about schools' various version of a "ring of honor"...whatever apparatus they have in-stadium to recognize great players and how an entire generation will go by without adding anyone new.

Re: Portal time 25-26

I'd hate to be a coach right now. You've got exactly ONE YEAR with each team, you spend more time fixing the problems (as you see them) in a player's game from their previous coach than you can developing them to be the player to fit your system. Then POOF, they're gone. Once they declare for the po...

Th. 12/18 6:30pm - MBB vs Coastal Carolina

Sun Belt home opener!!!

Coastal is 6-5 overall and has lost 3 of their last 5. All three losses were on the road. Two of them weren't close.

Coastal is sitting at 227 in Kenpom.
App State is 257

Who is the "last great App State player"?

Re: At ECU

Always a pet peeve in any small-time live sports production…if you place a crowd mic somewhere and that “Ooooooooo-Oooooooo” fan sits near it, move it at half time. Still, ...
