I will be all in on this request. Its a lesson I have to learn over and over again but the last 4 or 5 months have been hard for me and the lesson I have learned again is that the one thing this world needs more of is kindness. That doesn’t mean we can’t disagree or debate. But we don’t have to do i...

This may not be PC but I don’t want a Woke Chancellor like Harvard. I do want proper balance between academics and athletics. Students need to feel safe while attending App State and focus on preparing themselves for professional life in the real world. I want a leader that provides all that and do...

One request for going forward with this, be kind to each other, please.

I’ll be happy with the 2024 Sunbelt Championship. Then you’re one of our fans who should have a pretty good chance at actually having fun watching our games. That’s what I’m going to try to do, be happy with a good showing in the Belt and if we win a P5 or two, great. But having to make the playoff...

Stinks to already be in playoff mode (can't lose a game) but that's the reality. Seriously can we lose to Clemson, run the table and be the highest ranked G5? We probably would not get any votes until we go like 9-1. This is why the only fans that have a chance at being happy on a regular basis are...

The game won’t make or break the season. Make no mistake, a championship is the expectation but it doesn’t run through Clemson South Carolina.

Unfortunately for a bunch of our fans the P5 games are pretty much everything.

Cade Klubnik is not that dude. He may develop into that dude with another off season but he struggled mightily at times in 2023. I feel as good going into this game as I did about A&M, Penn State and Miami. There’s a very real unease in Clemson’s fan base and a big loss to Georgia to open the seaso...

Watched two college B-ball games this year and I have to say watching those guys from State was fun. And the interview after the game with Burns was great, “when playing basketball stops being fun, I’ll stop playing basketball”.

So we had a B-ball program for one season that could have garnered support from our fan base and now it is gone. So why even try? Unregulated NIL is going to completely destroy G5 sports.

I can’t help but think I need to pick a D2 team to pull for before this all blows up.

The collectives are going to become a way just to wash money. So nobody will know if a gambling outfit is paying a player. But as I understand it right now Draft Kings or MGM could pay NIL money to anyone and there is nothing that could be done about it anyway. Others have mentioned scholarships. Th...

I thought the whole reason for and behind NIL was the 3 words in the title. If an athlete's name is used in a video game or on the back of a jersey or if he represents a company in a TV, radio or print ad he can receive money. How on earth are the collectives both legal and how do they fall under t...

You start to see those interviews with former college stars who are more open about the money they were paid. It's really hard to imagine 18-23 year olds being genuinely happy about teammates who are making 6 figures while they are all technically college students. Even at the big schools you've go...

I really believe that interest in college sports will fall off and then ESPN will panic and try to fix the whole mess. By then it may be too late. It really is odd that the people making all the money off college sports don’t view this as an issue. NIL could work but a flat out uncontrolled free fo...

If so what a great turn around, from leaving the program, to returning, to becoming a long time NFL player and no...

Also, at the risk of being accused of being "woke" or seeing something that isn't there, it sure is interesting to look at the faces of the head coach, offensive coordinator, and special teams coordinator, and compare those to the defensive coordinator. Juuuuuust sayiiiiin.... Using the same “logic...
