But the stadium announcers got it mostly correct most of the day.

"Because App State is a lower-level football powerhouse, their fans traveled well."

The author of this article also needs to be booed...

The article still fails to make the very simple point that the University has a proper pronunciation for it's name that is distinct from the mountain range or the region. It's really that simple.

The audio doesn’t come close to doing justice to the actual torrent of boos that rained down upon that ref

I usually don’t read the comments section, but I did this time. A lot of folks seem content backing up their ignorance with stupidity.

There is absolutely no excuse for mispronouncing our name, especially in Charlotte for God's sake. We've been on the national stage long enough that it should not happen.

Ok I wrote the author..... this is his response:

Ah, thanks!

And sorry, I didn't mean it that way; I meant it like "they're a powerhouse among smaller schools" but I understand how it makes it seem like I was referring to I-AA.

He's still not up to speed. 1AA ended in 2005.
