Statesboro

And don't have an Appalachian State license plate frame or any other markings on your car that would show you are an App State fan. You will have to tow it home

yeah, I made that mistake once at WCU, around 10 or 12 years ago. My block A magnet was stolen.

Western Carolina is the only place I've ever had App things broken/stolen from my car, but I also haven't made my inaugural trip to the Stink yet. Either way, I have a bad taste in my mouth for the trash over in Cullowhee who would do things like that for no reason.

sounds like what used to happen when I was a kid in Concord, NC when the Concord Spiders played against the Kannapolis (AL Brown) Wonders. I heard stories about broken antennas, etc. when I was younger. There were some intense feelings and it is the oldest football rivalry in the state of NC. I don't expect these things in a college environment, but I suppose there there are classless humans everywhere.

I was cussed out before I could get into the stadium. 1/10 will never be back.

That's the Statesboro Hello.

The worst cussing I took down there was from a 80 year old “lady”.

So the hot girl on campus then.

LMAO

If you’re planning to take your kids to Gnatsboro, call the Pediatrician and make sure their shots are up to date.

The stink had a 19 page thread on their message board about our game last night with stAte. They’ve got the 25th circled with a big fat tip red sharpie to say the least.

[Yosefus]

It is up to 22 pages now. They have it circled twice. They have high hopes for this season. Flipping thru the pages the consensus is we have a better team than them but they feel that they can beat us with a good showing at home. They seem to be looking at us without rose colored glasses which is surprising. First time I have been on that site. Actually surprised at the level of mutual hate they have for us.

Been to Statesboro for multiple games. Never found their fans to be anything unusually negative. Have found if I make a specific effort to be friendly to folks, they are generally friendly back (at least in their main parking lot by the stadium). Not always true for drunk students, but can probably say that for most all schools.

Stayed in hotels in 'boro and in Savannah. Savannah offers more to do, obviously, but some of the newer hotels in Statesboro (Spring Hill Suites, Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn) are fine. On football weekends, many Statesboro hotels have 2-night minimum -- not at all sure about a weekday night game however.

I guess you are right about the APP logo plate frame, the Gumroot fan wouldn't have enough sense to suspect a car with a North Carolina license plate might be an APP fan.

[BarefootApp]

No Way they would connect those dots.

[Pike51]

Wow. Some pretty ridiculous responses in here.

In reality:

1. Yes, stay in Savannah. Mainly because the hotels in Statesboro are most likely already sold out.

2. Your kids will be just fine. As with every campus (including App State), there may be a couple bad apples... but 99% of those you run into will be normal and decent.

3. Park at the Union or the Performing Arts Center and ride the shuttles to and from the game. It's free and you get dropped off and picked up right at the stadium.

4. Anyone and everyone who makes the trip is more than welcome to come and enjoy our tailgate in the Performing Arts lot. We will have plenty of food, drinks, and a full DJ setup going. If you are interested in dropping by, PM me and I'll get you more information. You should be able to park right there as well and it is a perfectly safe area for your vehicles.

5. If you visit Savannah, don't bother with Paula Deen's place... it's an overpriced basic meal. Plenty of much, much better options.

With all of that said, I look forward to a large group of Appies headed our way. Remember that livestock must be left outside the stadium and most hotels will frown upon it as well. Best bet might be to leave the "kids" at home and just bring your human offspring. Safe travels!

[Goapps15]

2 of us in section H! Cannot wait for this one. Made sure to have "work" this week in the Statesboro area.

Don't stay in Stinkboro. You and your kids may hear some strange things at night like some banjo music followed by some inbreed GSU dudes with jacked up grills saying "Squeal Like A Pig"....

Did you actually graduate from a college? Or is it a figment of your imagination?

Yes, I have a masters degree. No figment, saw you all in "Deliverance".

[CornCobPipes]

If your planning the trip to Gnatsboro beware they don't have bathrooms nor portajohns for tailgating....they use beautiful Eagle Creek hence the origin of GATA.....GATA GO TO EAGLE CREEK.

[CornCobPipes]

Honey Boo Boo will be singing the national anthem.

[AppSt94]

Honey Boo Boo will be singing the national anthem.

Will there be subtitles provided on their jumbotron?

Yeah they are calling it karaoke night

[CornCobPipes]

I have visions of pulling into a Roadhouse bar with chicken wire fencing on the bandstage when discussing trips to Gnatsville.
