Going to do something different this upcoming Tuesday in place of a preview since it's a bye week.

I, T-Dog, ask you, the App fans, to ask me anything. Preferably regarding App State, but if you want to know some important questions or want my opinion, go right ahead. Ask below, you if you want to PM or e-mail me at tdogappst@yahoo.com go right ahead.

Do you still shoot billiards at the student union occasionally?

Who is Jason Capel's next player commitment for 2014?

Will Capel make the cut to a contract extension?

What team will be the first SunBelt squad to visit KBS....other than Troy and GaSouth...who've already been there before? Frankly, I hope it's the Ragin Cajuns!

Will JMU join the big SBelt party?

Piggy-backing on Chuck's question; who will be the first non-Sun Belt FBS team to visit KBS, and will it be in 2014 or 2015?

Will the move to the Sun Belt help us schedule better home games OOC or will we still be fed a steady diet of Bluefield and Milligan?

How can we grow donations for the Yosef Club and Appalachian Fund?

How much new revenue can we expect to see with the FBS jump?

How much do we still owe on our stadium debts? When can we expect those to be paid off?

Will we break the attendance record this year?

What happens when we start FBS play and we start haing sub .500 seasons. Will we lose any mojo we once had as a championship program?

If we end up going to a bowl game and the stadium sounds like the crowd at Wofford. Will gonzo eat his words?

Prediction on where ASU will win its first road game west of the Mississippi. We will get several chances in the Sunbelt. Hopefully, it happens next season.

When will some of our fan base mature and realize changes occur whether they like it or not?

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
Lao Tzu

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Maya Angelou

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

When will some fans take off the rose colored glasses and realize that change just for the sake of change can sometimes be a bad thing?

I'm making a note of this thread -- that Vega is predicting Wofford level attendance after we begin D-1A play. For those of you that don't know, that means that Vega is predicting that we average around 6,000 fans per game.

Who has the colored glasses?

I can answer that one for ya Gonz!

No.

There are two reasons I would change the signature pics..

#1: If I make one I feel represents my views better..

Or

#2: If I ever change my mind in my views. (Which is unlikely)

Please note that the Wofford level attendance is to be applied to our toilet bowl game... We will always have at least 10 - 15 k in the stands at home.

Hey, be careful man. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself backpedaling and miss the game tomorrow.

10-15k eh? You mean like the way our fans turn out for the FCS playoffs.... :roll:

I would say we have long since lost any mojo we had from our championsip runs. As exhibits I would point to our lack of playoff success in recent years as well as our consistent loses to good fcs programs in recent years. The mojo is and has been gone for some time. Surely you understand this.

I hope that one day you finally figure out that the move to FBS is happening and you make a concious decision to support it right wrong or indifferent. We all know you were against the move. Its happened. Deal with it and move on.

#3: (the one you have to follow) The Sun Belt logo has changed therefore rendering the one in your sig obsolete. :)

I have a feeling some might want to ask some questions after Saturday night. You have until Tuesday morning.

What's wrong with the play calling?

Does SS need to give play calling duties to someone else?
