Re: Cignetti
You hate to see it I dislike JMU and their overzealous fan base as much as everyone else, but we need them to be strong. Or maybe not. If App can get through Clemson, the East can be as weak as it wants to be next year, if you believe the committee believes in "just winning". We want the SBC East t...

Re: Brief ESPN mention
Two SBC mentions? While the rest of the conference is having their worst seasons in years? So he should not include us and JMU when we’ve got off to a good start?? We can’t control the other conference members anymore now than they could then when we were the anchor. Not sure how that was the takea...

Re: Other SB schools losing players to Transfer Portal
Just saw Marshall QB Cam Fancher has hit the portal. Every situation is different, but this is a mediocre QB that will likely be given a chance to start next year. If he's looking to transfer down and get a better education somewhere I get it, but players like this aren't moving "up" the food chain...

Re: Cute bow vs Miami (OH)
If you say so. Results are what matters not a hope and a prayer. Let’s see how next season goes. Must be nice to be the master of your craft from Day 1. Has it been a day? Time goes fast. You may not recall 2014, when App started 2-5. You may not remember 2004 where the back end of that season led ...

Re: Cute bow vs Miami (OH)
After being embarrassed let’s see if our DL and OL bounce back. It will come down to this as the formula on how to play us is easy after yesterday. Time to step up and end the season on a positive note. We weren't embarassed we got beat by a better team. Would you say the same thing to the 2002-200...

Re: NCAA Proposing New College Sub-division
This proposal doesn't make them paid employees of the university. It simply allows the university to pay for NIL rather than going thru a collective. It doesn't violate Title IX because half of the athletes receiving the minimum of $30,000 have to be female athletes. As proposed, this doesn't affec...

Re: NCAA Proposing New College Sub-division
"Schools in the new subdivision would also gain control of decision-making around scholarship limits and countable coaches, the NCAA's way of handing major conference programs the freedom to increase the limits or do away with them altogether." This is what scares me... If the Bamas and Ohio States...

Re: One more time, let’s keep digging
I have watched games for decades and I don't remember ever seeing a coach go that crazy on the sideline - lost all respect for him with that display - And no flag - RIDICULOUS - and he let his team get way too mouthy - Refs were questionable (not saying they cost us the game) If I were the AD his a...

Re: NCAA Proposing New College Sub-division
What this describes IMO is clearly a new professional league. They need to call it out and there would never be a fair way for the non-professional NCAA divisions to compete against these teams. It would be NFL lite against college amateur league. Would make no sense to play those games under this ...

Re: Keep Joey 2024 - NIL
How many quarterbacks in particular are starters and played well at a good school then have entered the portal and ended up "upgrading " so to speak and started at their next school? Saw that DJ U is on the move again. As was pointed out there are only like 130 starting spots for QB at our level an...

Re: Cure bowl vs Miami (OH)
Worry a lot of SBC members were backsliding the last half of the season and could look bad as a conference over all. Even JMU with losing coach/QB they could be a different team. Most anytime a team loses a starting QB spells trouble. I'm not speaking of our case in game 1. The Sun Belt will have t...

Re: Cute bow vs Miami (OH)
"Embarrassed" - go some where else and whine -it was 21-17 in the 4th Honestly, and as big a deal that momentum is, I feel like if we pick up the 4th and 1 driving for the lead (and not get a false start) we win that game. Crazy how 1 play can affect a game. There were a handful of those seemingly ...
