Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
I know they are in NC but they don't have a big brand name, they don't travel well, and this should be a blowout win for us every time. We really don't need to play them but if we are going to we better only play them in Boone and beat them by 40+ every time.

You know who else thinks like this? Carolina. You can’t be offended when someone thinks that App is beneath them and then play the inferiority card when it is convenient.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:49 pmI know they are in NC but they don't have a big brand name, they don't travel well, and this should be a blowout win for us every time.

Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
I agree on sentiment but vis a vis unc football: App has a big brand, App travels well, and unc isn’t supposed to blow us out (and recent matchups bear that out).AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:54 pmYou know who else thinks like this?

Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
I'm not offended one bit. They don't benefit in any way from playing us and we don't benefit in any way from playing WCU. If we are going to play a FCS team I would at least want a school that will travel well enough to actually help fill the stadium. The only good thing about playing WCU is that we should never be so bad that we can't beat them. You know why I said we should beat them by 40+? It was a 26-point average margin when we were in the same league so there is no reason why we should not beat them by 40+ now that we are FBS and should be getting far better players than they do.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:54 pmYou know who else thinks like this?

Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
I really don't want Lindenwood or those others either. I would much rather have G5 schools come to Boone and we go to them. We need schools who can actually help fill the stadium more and benefit financially. There is not a single FCS school who can help with that. When it comes to UNC at least we could help fill BOA Stadium but if we played WCU in BOA they would maybe bring 2,000 fans max.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 8:19 pmSo, Linwood is what we want in KBS or whatever the team is called...

Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
I understand your point but is that the driver that you think that it is ? IF these games are scheduled. I believe that the caveat to the gambling revenue that is being dispersed comes with an agreement to play more in state opponents within the university system. If the bill requires UNC and State to come to Boone or Greeneville then it should require App and a Charlotte to travel to Cullowhee.BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 8:04 pmI agree on sentiment but vis a vis unc football: App has a big brand, App travels well, and unc isn’t supposed to blow us out (and recent matchups bear that out).AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:54 pmYou know who else thinks like this?

App doesn’t need Western to come to town to fill KBS but they may need APP to fill EJW.

Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
FBS programs don’t travel to FCS programs, this is a poor analogy. We aren’t traveling to the Whee in football. Sounds like some bad intel, probably traveling there in basketball and other sports.BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 8:04 pmI agree on sentiment but vis a vis unc football: App has a big brand, App travels well, and unc isn’t supposed to blow us out (and recent matchups bear that out).AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:54 pmYou know who else thinks like this?

We’re done with small ball, that’s why we made the jump. No need to be play any FCS team AWAY. They can come to us if they want though.

Re: Gillin said we're gonna play Western in football soon
We BETTER not go to damn Cullowhee. This game doesn’t excite me anymore, but if we play, it better be in Boone. Every. Single. Time.
