I believe this is the same argument NCSU & UNCCH used when they got beat by the CUSA Pirates. Funny to hear fans of a program who allowed NQ complain about it now that the AAC doesn’t allow NQ. I was under the impression App did not allow NQ or that was the rumored policy under Satt. Any insiders, p...

Thought the stadium was electric. There were quite a few Pirate fans in my section and tailgating around us. Seemed all fans enjoyed the pre-game. Felt like game day ops were slightly improved considering the attendance. Personally didn’t see any obnoxious behavior but I hate to hear that some had t...

Heard from a Pirate buddy today that there could be a change in their offense. Anybody else heard anything? I'm not sure it's going to matter but it could be interesting.

Rumor seems to be Flinn is starting over Garcia at QB.

App typically pays FCS teams in the $300k-$375k range.

I stand corrected. I thought App paid less than $200k but maybe I’m thinking of the FCS days. Wonder if the Can’ts would accept a $300k game from App???

App cannot afford WCU. They play the likes of Bama ($525k), OU ($625k) and Rkansas ($550k) for those guarantee checks. IIRC, App pays around $100-$150k so those payouts are 3-4+x what App has historically paid.

For a fairer comparison, as far as stadium capacity, Weak is paying them $425k.

I want to talk about Favors… Favors played a heck of a game. I’m thinking of that one blitz for a TFL. Drake Maye’s ribs are thinking of that shot they took from Favors in the 2nd OT. GO APPS!! Reminiscent of Gilchrist stealing Dobbs’ soul at the goal line. Completely off topic but every time the T...

Not scheduling Appalachian is illogical. If you're a serious CFP contender you want quality wins, if you're a mid tier you'll get a quality matchup that gets eyes on you're program. Losing to App or any Sun Belt team isn't what it used to be. Grow up Oh and not scheduling someone b/c you're afraid ...

Pirates have a pretty stout run D, only giving up 120 & 130 to Big Blue and the Herd respectively. Passing seems to be their Achilles. QB Garcia is more of a run threat after only averaging roughly 70 yards passing through week 2. Clean up pursuit and contain the run, force Garcia to try and win wit...

Good news about the run defensive woes is it was mainly over pursuit. That's an easy fix. We saw the same thing. Over pursuit and some bad angles. Clean those up, stay healthy and this D can make some noise. Big props to the OL for not giving up a sack. JA was hit a few times but remained poised un...

Dodd accomplished what he set out to do, get clicks. I can’t imagine Aresco is going to change course on his markets and high budget strategy for the AAC. I’d imagine ODU, GaSt and TXST would get the nod from the SBC before App based on the AAC’s previous selections. As someone else stated, ECU is t...

It’s my understanding App pulled a “Wofford” yesterday on the east side. Not sure if this was an issue on the west side. Apparently a woman received a police escort out of the stadium for getting belligerent over the water fountains being turned off after the concessions sold out of water. Sad and i...

Not QB related but my son is playing football and some App players came out to help. He overheard a couple of players say this offseason has been the toughest since they’ve been here the past 3-4 years. Don’t know the exact context but guessing they mean S&C workouts and spring ball. Hopefully it pa...

It says it on the email sent out about the sale.

Yes the email says, “purchase a maximum of 10 tickets per home game…”

Tried purchasing 10 for ccu and 6 for USM. The system got stuck spinning and never finalized the purchase. In my infinite wisdom, I tried breaking up the purchases. I was able to complete the 10 ticket purchase but the system will not allow me to use the promotional code again to purchase the 6 for...
