Where would our mens' soccer team play? Is the project at the old Watauga site finished (for soccer and track) ????? Doesn't seem like it would work having to share the present womens' soccer field. They shared a field before. Why couldn't they now? That's correct. According to some on here we didn...

At one time, I would've been convinced ACC basketball programs would've made any conference split nearly impossible. ...Who knows? I'm not putting stock in this particular report, but generally speaking I agree with this line of thinking. 5 years ago I would have said "no way", but now I'm a bit mo...

I graduated from App and love Carolina. My favorite teams growing up. With that said, App was the best choice for me and it was a fantastic experience. Expect Eric grew up the same. Hating on him for being a Carolina fan is pretty weak. I personally hate just about everything related to the Tar Hol...

I almost exclusively get my App games by streaming the radio broadcast. It is rare that I ever watch - other than watching highlights/condensed games on YouTube afterwards, or the rare Saturday I can devout actually to attending games. I just prefer hearing it while doing other things to sitting and...

Maybe we should have eliminated baseball. I would prefer App to sponsor both sports (as well as lacrosse), but considering the baseball season's calender and the Boone weather during that time, eliminating baseball instead of soccer would not have been as crazy an idea as it sounds. There is a reas...

I thought Dawson resigned because she and her husband have three young children and that he is the new men's tennis coach at Lehigh. He was the men's tennis coach at App when the program was dropped. Yes, you are correct about Dawson and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Thank you for pointing that...

She was their GOAT in that sport. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Really young to be coaching that sport for them given they have been really good in that sport. According to my daughter and her teammates, she isn't just UNC's GOAT, she is everyone's GOAT. It was funny to go to my...

I know no one here particularly cares about field hockey, and many here do particularly dislike all things about the baby blues in Chapel Hill, but I found this story interesting and thought I share with others interested in college athletics. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2023/01/31...

We have had some conversations with Coach Dinsmore re recruiting and like her quite a bit. She should have the "interim" tag removed.

The interim tag was removed today. Congrats and good luck Coach Dinsmore.

I need someone to tell me what a message board is for. It’s clear I’ve been wrong for over 30 years. Should we post cat videos, recipes, farm reports, what? Christmas recipes would be nice. I could also go for movie reviews, auto repair advise, tips for beating the new God of War game, and debates ...

I thought with another good year or two, Dawson could be in the running at her alma mater UNC, but Coach Shelton's retirement came too soon for where she had built App thus far. Good luck to her in her future endeavors. We have had some conversations with Coach Dinsmore re recruiting and like her qu...

Tough loss today to Miami, but congratulations on a great season. From the stats and the bits I was able to see while out at a middle school field hockey tournament today, it looks like it was a much closer game than the 3-1 score would indicate. That was the only loss this season by more than 1 goa...

Maybe this will help get the tech needed to broadcast FH on ESPN+. I enjoyed watching FH when they played at KBS during the GoASU.com streaming period 12-15 years ago. The tech was in place for football but FH MSoc, WSoc were able to take advantage. It was nice. Since Field Hockey isn't a Sun Belt ...

Thanks, Appfaninfieldhockeyland.

Virginia isn't really CAALand anymore, but it is second only to PA as fieldhockeyland. Maybe I should change my screen name.

the last time i looked App was around 50 of 70 some DI programs with FH. The MAC is the weakest of the conferences in FH it seems JMU and possibly ODU are independent in FH and both were ranked. i am not sure our FH is ready for jmu and odu every year in conference play but it would be nice to find...

The ladies will be playing for the conference title and NCAA bid tomorrow.

7 straight, 11-5, with today's 10-1 win Most goals in a game since 1979 against Clemson. 11 goals then so this is 2nd most ever. Unless I missed something in the record book, with two games left (and the MAC tournament), this team needs one win to tie for most wins in a season in school history. Bo...

Since my daughters started following college field hockey as kids, I always say maybe App State FH can make the NCAA tournament. They always laugh at "silly dad". Recently, however, they have changed their tune to "you may be right this year, dad". My oldest is being scouted by UVA and if they offer...
