UNC game discussion

[Seattleapp]

Bear picks the visitor, good value at a pick'em. Neither host has good things to say about Chase. If he comes out and performs with a whole new class of WRs in game one that should end that discussion. Go to minute 27.

Who really cares what these dudes think? I am 100% wearing Black and Gold glasses and believing in our guys. Yep that includes Brice who demonstrated last year he can be successful. Not sure the point of this post unless you are trying to swing betting money on Carolina

The point of the post is to share any content about the games with a fanbase that is itching for gameday discussion. Strange call out honestly.

I never bet on an App game.

I get it but honestly I don’t get you referencing them taking UNC and ragging on our quarterback as your two highlights

[AppSt94]

It comes down to strength on strength. App’s run O versus their Run D. They act like our WRs have never seen the field when he reality we have 4 guys that have started. Let them think what they want.

They picked UNC and didn't believe in Chase, those are the highlights... I can tell you didn't listen to that segment.

I then state he has an opportunity to shut them up. The atmosphere in KBS could be hostile if we're sensitive on a Wednesday.

[appstate77]

Who gives a s hinny what they say? They have not sat through dozens of home games at The Rock. They haven't traveled with us to hostile venues where we shut the home team fans down. We know what we have. The players know what they have. The coaches know what they have. It's time to close the Holes again.

[goapps93]

It's also important to remember these guys are making picks based on betting, which is about making money. It's not about favoritism or really who's better (necessarily). The line on this game is so close though that I guess a bet for UNC is for them to win. I'm betting App wins, but I don't actually bet.

[hapapp]

I don't think we need to take it as a personal insult because someone looks at the teams, in what is now a pick 'em, and chooses the opposition. In the end, what they say or what we believe has no bearing on what the actual outcome will be. The post in question was only adding to the discussion even it goes against the grain of the thinking here. I was intrigued why they went the way they did and listened. Stanford Steve begged off taking the game because he wasn't a Chase Brice fan. The Bear's pick seemed have more to do with the line. It was about a 30-45 second segment. It's not like they spent five minutes dissing App.

It's always a bit comical that with most any powerful P5 they can all trot new or inexperienced guys out there and it's no big deal- being that they are 4 or 5 star high school kids. But a G5 does that and it's totally different. Obviously real game experience is invaluable no matter what but I'm not ready to worry to death about the receiver turnover. Even last year there weren't but so many throws to share so we could absolutely have had studs simply waiting their turn.

Quick aside, "never bet on your teams" is good gambling advice. Your passion can cloud your judgment.

Truth!!!!. The only time I have won the March Madness pool in my office was when my team did not make the tourney.

With all due respect, I'm not buying that UNC has greater talent than we have. The star system of recruiting often depends on the stomach ache the rator has the day he is working from home. Talent is a mixture of potential and preparation. Our guys prepare like there is no tomorrow. Every game is seen as the most important game. We are a development al program. Any so called 3 star, if he works his a## off becomes a 4 star by his third year. We have seen this over, and over, and over again. I'm still of the anyone, anytime, anyplace crowd. If we don't win the Holes will go home with broken bones and bloodied noses. If we win, which I expect, the Holes will go home with embarrassed broken bones and bloody noses. Nuff said. Bring on Saturday!

You are indeed right and I brought it up before that on paper with the ratings they SHOULD have superior talent and win by 20, but, these schools miss and sometimes take players that are divas that just don't develop like they should. Just look at Nick Hampton, Peoples and Hodges being 2-star players because of their offer lists that have now become NFL prospects with 4-star talent. Regardless of what happens, it is just funny that a school with 1/5 the resources and not a single player they wanted out of high school coming from the ACC is worried about a G5 team like us who will never get a P5 invite. It shows how far we have come overall and how they have truly made a ton of mistakes in recruiting and hires over the years.

I disagree that we will never get a p5 invite...maybe not soon but it could be soon. There is not much difference between Clemson and AppState except for years of exposure. Our future is incredibly bright and people tune in for AppState games. If football is still big 20 years from now we will be relevant and in whatever the new p5 becomes. we are going to be a university with 20,000+ students and academic programs will continue to be added and our alumni will continue to be vocal about fighting the system UNC Board. Lots of growth has happened and more should follow.

Wonder if Pete Rose knew that? I still put Pete in HOF!

In this game, The adage that "stars mean nothing" applies. Sean was doing his proper "coach speak" as did Mack. Our guys are ready. Sean and Barbey will have them prepared. Carolina is still learning Clizik's defense. It may take a few more games to get it. Remember when Roof was at App, it took 4 games, plus a little "come to Jesus meeting" with Coach Drink to get our D in line. Sam Howell was then a Heisman candidate but we handled him. In fact I bet Meech still shows up in his nightmares. Bottom line here: We are good as Carolina is, perhaps better in some areas. This time we are playing at HOME with a stacked offense and a defense with proven players including a pre season All American. We have this game if we can play Appalachian State football: hard tough running, and a passing game to keep the D honest. We also have speed and lots of it. Hampton will have a field day in May's face. I'm confident, not overconfident just aware of what we have from whence we have come. After BigC puts out his prediction tomorrow, I'll put mine out. Hint, it will have App winning a hard fought slobber knocker. Go App! Go 1-0 this week.

All of this supports my thesis that Carolina ain't got that dawg in 'em.

[Yosefus]

I think App Nation is more than looking forward to this game and it's building onto what will probably be at fever pitch by kick off time. I see it being a very similar game to the one in their house last time. Hope we blow them out this time though. Our guys have zero reason to play tight and timid. Their guys have tons to lose and I expect the crowd and the pressure of overrated expectations to get them out of sync at least in 1st half. I also leaning on the past that we historically play good games vs P5 opponents with only a couple of exceptions. Hope we have fun and see a great show Saturday!

Not thay I'll be listening, but was it Deems May former player and the football color analyst that gave ZT a hard time about his speed? Truly classless broadcaster. Just checked and he's not on the Hole Broadcast team now.

Not sure if it was him, but that A-State game where ZT got sacked early in the game, the broadcast team said ZT was slow. Then.... then....in the 2nd half when ZT ran that 50+ TD they kept talking about how fast ZT was. They were so full of BS!!! Either he is freaking slow or fast? What changed during halftime to ZT?? Did he find his "fast legs". LOLOLOL These fools that don't even know our players have no clue. They just talk.

I like your optimism but it's highly unlikely we'll be invited a "big conference." The ACC as we know it will be dead, the Pac 12 will be dead, and the Big 12 will have picked up the scraps if I were betting on it. In order for us to get an invite to the B1G (not happening), SEC or Big 12, we're going to have to invest more into athletics as a whole. Our fanbase doesn't donate for whatever reason. We have to close the gap financially for us to be relevant in the future and I find that to be a TALL TASK the way things are going. Some sort of mega G5 conference invite would be nice and what I'm hoping for.

Student YC have access really early. I hope they are all not asleep by noon because they are used to getting up until noon..
