Appalachian Unpopular Opinions

[bigdaddyg]

We don’t need stadium expansion at all. In fact we need a more cozy feel so there needs to be a plan to remove seating. Fill the hill and cram as many people we can into the lower levels. It would be more intimidating and there really isn’t any upside to playing P5’s at home. ETSU and Wofford will bring enough fans. Games look awesome on PBS.

UNCC really elevated CUSA to new heights.

Football makes enough to cut the student fee in half.

I dont think it is unpopular now, but it was when I was saying 10 years ago that App should join the Sun Belt.

I don't know if it is unpopular or just unrealistic due to lack of funds and facilities and conference affiliation, but I think App should start varsity lacrosse and ice hockey.

No one will admit it but I know everyone loved the Gordon fisherman

For the love of all things holy it's "Gorton's". And it's the best logo we've ever had.

I'm hoping my YC level is good enough for me to win a spot on the hill. I love watching games so far away and with a view like I'm playing Madden. My favorite part of sitting there is constantly having to turn around to see the giant waste of money scoreboard.

1. I don't like the Holmes Center, and wish we would've renovated Varsity instead.

2. I really hate the gold jerseys.

3. While everything (EVERYTHING!) else about FBS is better for App, I like FCS playoffs better than lower tier bowls aka meaningless exhibition games

4. East side upper level in KBS are the best seats in the stadium (I don't know if this is unpopular, though I suspect it could be).

Jason Capel was a better coach than Jim Fox. Woodlands pulled pork isn’t good. Taylor Lamb is the best QB we’ve ever had.

I’m 100% serious about these and am prepared to defend them.

"Taylor Lamb is the best QB we’ve ever had." I couldn't agree more...

Sarcasm aside.....I actually do not mind this logo.

I sort of liked the days when FB had the Black A, BKB had the Old Man logo, and everyone else was using the White A. It gave them some other identity than the standard logo. I still prefer the last of the Old Man Yosef costumes to the current one. The OMY was one of those 70 year old mountain men that still got up at 6 am to work on the farm and still could whip 3 guys half his age if called upon. The new one still looks like he grew the beard because it is trendy and the only farm he has been on is Farmville.

The new one hits up the Starbucks before heading to the tech firm, takes a two hour lunch break so he can jog 3 miles and down a Caesar wrap with kombucha, then after work, heads over to the local bar with his friends to celebrate another day in the books with an ice cold Mich Ultra.

He then gets dunk and out of hand because he knows that his life has no meaning and gets into a fight with OMY and wakes up in traction.

1. Clifton Duck was extremely overrated as a DB and it showed when he had to use his brain.

2. I'm glad Clifton Duck left so our defense can no longer be impeded by a corner who can only play single coverage.

Now this is the kind of fire take that this thread was designed to elicit.

Not saying I agree or disagree.

That's what I came here for

1. Our current student fan base are some of the least educated football fans in college.

2. Too many of our fans care about tradition and treat our traditions like Ohio dotting the "I" and UGA wearing silver britches. We aren't good enough to treat our traditions that way.

3. Biggest sport mistake we have made in last 10 years was firing Billy Jones and busting up the best recruiting class we had seen in a long time.

Based on what they say and when they cheer, #1 may be true.

[AppfaninCAALand]

1. current students (everywhere not just at App) ... are some of the least educated ... in college (history).

FIFY

Now you kids get off my lawn.

[TurfMonkey]

I really hope the Students add F-U to the end of their Y-S-A kickoff chant.

[NoLongerLurking]

Winters aren't bad here.

I would like to join those thanking you for embracing the point of this thread.

Also, these are very bad takes.

[smokeshow]

Not a bad take. Just an unpopular opinion :p
