Didn't really have any problem with it. It was completely within our control to stop it. They did their jobs, we didn't.

What happened to the other thread? Honest question. The mod killed it Jim. I realize that, but why? It had veered completely off topic and was on its way to a name-calling, mudslinging war of words. I moved it to a place where no one can see it, but no post counts or rep points are affected.

Actually, Robert is appstate89, but you're welcome anyway.

Brownie just committed we may need to take some redshirts off our Oline players, we are getting owned in the trenches. Might not be a bad idea, we're going to face even bigger and deeper lines next year in the Sun Belt. This season's a wash anyway. Really crazy to see the fall of this team so quick...

Lots of problems. Uninspired play, no fire, getting pushed around, poor line play, poor tackling; all seem to point to coaching either on the field or in the weightroom. I don't know what to think really. I didn't expect this. I don't think any of us did.

That's fantastic! A fitting honor for Chancellor Peacock and a really nice gesture by the Raley family.

That is an excellent idea. I'll make that happen.

There is a sport-specific recruiting thread in each folder. Then all of the recruiting information is available on the recruiting pages for each sport which can be accessed from the Sports tab on menu near the top of the page, right next to the Mountaineer Message Board tab.

In the context of an App football discussion, mentioning the perks of FBS Bowling as opposed FCS playoffs is completely reasonable, especially during this time of transition. "Where we're going sucks." "Well, in a lot of ways it is better than from where we came" Is the second person in the above h...

Cline's post was talking about adding extra bowl games for teams that will more than likely have .500 or sub .500 seasons... He mentioned nothing about FCS... You're looking for ghosts when there aren't any. It was a gripe about the FBS system and the catalyst of this conversation. The inherent fla...

I'd love to see what Belichick could do with AE.

I just hope he gets a fair chance somewhere. He never got one in Charlotte.

App's Basketball team has more potential to win the SOCON than their Football team. Crazy, I know, but it's true. How do you know it's true? The Apps have only lost one conference game with several left and the conference is having a weak year according many on this board. It looks dismal at his po...

This pretty much guarantees sub-.500 teams in bowl games every year. I believe this now brings the total to 37 or 38 bowl games. I'll be happy to watch App play as many games as possible, but there is no longer any reward for a bowl game.

That is an impressive schedule, not to mention a stern test for the diamond Apps.

No, just a bunch of lifelong Reds fans.

"Our fans will just need to realize that it won't be instantaneous." Exactly, CP...hard to get that across in a culture that expects everything, right now.

Coming off what is looking to be a disappointing 2013 season, that is not going to do much to build any buzz for 2014. We should be building momentum for this move, instead we seem to be backing up at the worst possible time.

This is not a prediction thread, just a reminder of what happened in Boone vs. Citadel last year. Citadel won by 24, and our defense gave up 618 yards of offense. Citadel has the same team as last year as they were young in 2012. We have four defensive starters that started vs. Citadel last year. W...
