Am I the only one that isn't going to pull for players when they leave App? I'm not rooting against them, but I don't feel any lingering ties to a player that transfer. I'll caveat that with the exception of grad transfers. Exactly. Even the caveat. After Donavan Gregory raised the bar for loyalty…...

We are talking about amateur athletes getting paid $25-$100k (on top of a $25k scholarship and $6k stipend annually) to play in front of maybe 5k people and on ESPN+ with less than 30k viewers. I recommend reading that sentence out loud to realize how crazy and unsustainable this is for anyone outs...

I read a 247 article that says the median basketball NIL spending for 2024-25 will be $1.5m per team.

That is among power programs. The Sun Belt average is about 200k I heard.

Correct.

Tate talks of his return and next season.

https://www.collegefootballdawgs.com/post/a-look-into-this-potential-80-team-college-football-super-league Includes all “P5” teams, with ND and newly added SMU to round out 7 divisions of 10 teams. The 8th division would be the top 10 G5 programs who could be relegated each season. Non-football spo...

Took the day off. Sure as heck didn't want to be out on the roads downtown this afternoon. got my 8-) ready. Saw the big watch party at IU on TV this afternoon. The crowd in the stadium erupted when things went completely black. We were at 80% here but really didn't matter because it was really clo...

I think we should move them there Play games there most of the time. Hickory has the ability to get on board to support baseball with 4000 people. Boone does not. I guess, the games then aren't for the students to attend. I doubt we would be able to play rent free in Hickory. I'm three hours away, ...

How many times have we hit batters with pitches and how many wild pitches has our staff thrown? Said it earlier this season that we are going to have to win games via low scoring football type games. Brutal lack of division one level pitching.

Dead last in conference ERA at plus 6.

Dead last in the Sun Belt in ERA. If we don’t score 8-10 runs a game, we are in trouble.

Are we including Bobby Cremins hmmmmm …. In my time in watching App state basketball, I would put it as this... Cremins Kerns Buzz 1st time Fancher Buzz 2nd time (just in terms of coaching that team -- not what he did to the program after) Cantwell/Apke (both the same in my book) Capel/Fox (same as...

We are 5-6 in conference play. Three of our series have been against teams with losing records and Coastal is only 6-5.

Kevin got fired after that season if memory serves. Tom had success fairly early but the last years were painful. Good guys though.

Things went South for Apke the last two years. He also had the misfortune of being at App during ETSU’s hey day.

Texas State is not the powerhouse we thought they were, apparently.

My understanding is that neither Wright nor McHugh has done much to give a great deal of confidence to their status as the backup.

Who are the APP baseball announcers on ESPN+ ?

Matt Present does PBP. He has experience calling minor league games in Florida at the AAA level. He’s also the radio guy for men’s basketball.

Only 3-8 on the night…UGLY Tuesday! BUT, we won handily! Gotta love that!

The conference played four P5 programs and took a pretty solid beating in each of them.

Has their coach publicly announced that he is coming back? Surprisingly, I don't believe there has been any type of announcement :lol: The only announcement myself and others expect is a reworked contract with Kerns. According to online articles he was only paid 325k plus incentives. He needs to be...

Any word on the search to fill the vacancy?
