Given our school's roots, we should be a hell of a lot more humble.hapapp wrote:It is the retired teacher in me.AppinVA wrote:hapapp wrote:If, as many are now anticipating, a SBC invite comes, can we please accept it with humility.

I'm cautiously optimistic but won't be convinced it's a done deal until I hear it in a press conference. Whenever that moment comes, I hope all our fellow Apps handle it with class. I fully support a move but we have had some very memorable times in the SoCon.

One thing we can count on is that Appalachian State always handles things with class.

True that, I don't believe we will ever be able to live that one down. So, we might as well go with the flow.

If and when we are given an invitation and accept, I will be spamming the Sun Belt boards with this.
Please don't.
