Re: Kickoff chant thread, Part II

The “A-word” doesn’t bother me as much as it seems to bother my fellow App fans. If I could press a button and change that chant, I would, but I don’t understand why we have these threads every season. They don’t even bleep out that word on cable tv. It’s trashy and makes us look bad. Period. I don...

Re: You Suck @sshole

This has been going on for at least 6 years. I graduated in 2012 and they chanted it then. One time I even tried to get the students around me to stop by saying it wasn’t classy and that it reflects poorly on the university, but I must not have been very diplomatic about it because I almost got in a...

None of our recent FCS games have been very well attended. It is what it is.

Re: Color Out

UNCC just released a youtube video showing that their team is going to wear green jersey and pants with a white helmet. I love how our entire fan base freaked out after seeing ONE promotional image of them with black jerseys. Knee jerk reactions are kind of our thing, I guess. I also can't imagine s...

Re: Official penn St thread

Their older fans were pretty gracious, but walking through that campus to the stadium was a little harrowing. GaSo fans were more hospitable in my experience. Lots of “Appalayshun State sucks” and when they went up 2 scores the Penn State fans near me became incredibly obnoxious (yelling directly at...

Re: Fraternities at EZU

4 students across the country died directly from Fraternity hazing in 2017 alone. Makes Sig Ep’s golden showers look tame by comparison, but IMO Greek life just exacerbates the mix of alcohol and hormones that already run rampant in college life. They’re redundant and unnecessary.

Re: Fraternities at EZU

It is not a tall tale. I heard it directly from a friend who was in Sig Ep that had it happen to him. For what it’s worth, he was still a huge supporter of the fraternity and was crushed when he wasn’t allowed to be in it. The university said that he was hazed so badly that he would be more likely t...

Re: Fraternities at EZU

I love that Greek life isn’t big at App. Let’s not act like everyone signs up for philanthropic reasons. It’s an excuse to buy friends and get hammered.

Sig Ep was also shut down at App after they made pledges do sit-ups while their “brothers” urinated on them.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward

This is going to make campus 1000x better, regardless of its effect on tailgating, which i think is being overstated anyways. Stadium lot and the west side of campus are currently the ugliest part of campus if we’re being honest. More green space and newer buildings will beautify it quite a bit. A s...

Re: NDSU season ticket sheet

This is somewhat unrelated, but I saw that Troy is giving fans a replic championship ring (looks like the team’s ring) if they renew season tickets by a certain date. That’s kinda cool, I have to admit.

Re: NDSU season ticket sheet

I would go so far as to say that ECU wouldn’t have seen the kind of growth they have if they had essentially “unlimited” seating like we do. If people feel like they’re going to miss out on something because their aren’t enough seats, that creates a lot of additional buzz and excitement as we saw wi...

Re: NDSU season ticket sheet

Where is the incentive to buy season tickets when you can get a walk up ticket for ten bucks at 99% of our games? Sadly, most people need more than warm fuzzies and a sense of charity to invest in something. I don’t believe for one second that NDSU’s fans are that much more passionate than ours, the...

Re: End Zone project moving forward...

Some of you get off on telling people "no", I swear. If someone thinks we should have a 100,000 seat stadium then more power to them, idgaf. I trust DG to do what's right for us within our budget.

Re: End Zone project moving forward...

On this month’s “Ask the AD” on appstatesports.com, Gillin said that the rendering isn’t even final considering that they have yet to even hire the actual Architect who will carry out the final design. Everyone just take a deep breath.

Re: Season Ticket Sales 2007 vs 2017 - This is disappointing

I thought winning in FBS would spike season ticket sales, but the perception of the Sun Belt is a huge obstacle to our success IMO. I don’t know what it’s going to take anymore. Here’s an anecdote that may or not be relevant. I’ve been dropping major hints to my friend who I graduated with that he s...
