App State UNC sold out in 30 minutes

[NewApp]

My nephew, an EZU grad, decided it would be cool to get married on September 21 because of the Earth Wind and Fire song (“Do you remember the 21st night of September.....”). I hate him now. If I ditch the wedding for the game, it will likely cost me my 34 year marriage and half of everything I own. I am still deciding.

Just the fact he went to EZU would give me a long pause to think it over. Sounds like he did it on purpose because there's nothing worthwhile going at Pyriteville at the moment. j/k

Being there in person when App wins will be really hard to replace...

I will miss the game as well. Be careful in the bathrooms, those troughs can be splashy. Beautiful Eagle Crick might be more sanitary.

Well if anyone has 4 tickets laying around they don’t want let me know lol

Strong possibility they are 0-3 leading into App coming to town. Maybe none available now, but there definitely will be people dumping some on Stub Hub at some point in September.

Haven't you heard? 'Mack is back and they are going to turn it around.".

I hope they are undefeated going in to that game, we spank them and then they win out.
Then I hope the same happens with South Carolina.
The only way our brand remains relevant nationally is beating good teams...not beating struggling P5s.

PS- I hope you all end up with tix too. Preordered my 6!

While having a strong opponent record is great, I went with the more realistic approach.

South Carolina will have at the very, very least a loss to each Alabama and Georgia before they play APP, and very well have only 1 win coming in to the APP game against Charleston Southern-the only 'gimme.' The others are very capable of whipping their ass. Well, maybe not UNC

360 degrees. Hearing Mack is ending practice early so he can make the blue plate special at K&W. Not to save money, it's best place to pick up the ladies. If he can make it back to the retirement home by 4, he can catch the activity bus.

I am curious to see what kind of success Bentley can have against UNC's secondary. I will wait for that before I get all giddy about us visiting Chapel Hill.

Dont be throwing shade at Mack...he's a good person....

Sally has him by the balls. She is a very nice lady though. Had the pleasure of serving them numerous times at Eseeola while I was in college.

I can see Zac being at 3 but I don't agree with Jake Bentley ranking that high.

I like the quote, "the App State game is going to be one of the most entertaining games of the year for Carolina fans."

I don't know enough about USC to make that call but I'll trust your judgement. One can hope that the game isn't entertaining for Carolina fans at all and that they are all sent home early. Looks like we can expect 28 to 34 points on offense based on the scoring from NC State in Drink's three years.

Also something to note, Drink hasn't lost to UNC and i'm sure he doesn't want to start now.

Before we spend too much time and energy congratulating ourselves on the sellout, let's remember that it's their family weekend as well. Family weekend at any school, including App, is usually a big draw for parents who want to check in on their students and have a fun fall weekend. I'm sure we'll have plenty of fans there. I'm also sure there will be plenty of Carolina parents and families in attendance.

Go App!

Did last years family game sell out in 30 minutes?

It didn’t sell out at all, actually. UNC’s 2018 Family Weekend was against Pitt and had an announced attendance of 44k (out of 51k).

I don’t expect us to outnumber their fans, but if we have less than 10k there I will be shocked. Personally, I’m hoping for 15k.

Just be louder. I remember when we hijacked the stadium at ECU and were were just up on the side in the nosebleeds.

That was a very hot day at ECU. We shoulda won that game. Dang Armanti's lawn mower.

I have ever since seen those same loud APP fans at UGA, Florida, Tennessee, Penn St...and I know they will be in Chapel Hill. Can't wait!

#BeatETSU

I remember how subdued the Pirates fans were. Their victory walk from the stadium looked like they just came out of Infinity War.

I was at that game also, we mounted a hell of a 4th quarter comeback. ECU fans were actually surprisingly respectful when my friends and I went out downtown that night.

Could happen. If he can win a NC at Texas, he should be able to beat a few lackeys at UNC...besides us of course.

The ones I saw and talked to said App would have won easily if Armanti had been healthy and playing.

Don't poke fun at a former Mountaineer until the 4th quarter buzzer sounds.

We put 38 on PSU. Will Carolina’s defense be better than PSU?

We got hot the last 20 minutes of the game with the 4 TD drives. Prior to the Penn State game we had not scored more than 21 against a P5 team for a long while.

Not saying we cannot score points against UNC but let’s not just assume we will. We are rolling out a new offense.

Not sure how many points to expect from our offense in this one. We can run the ball, we have four guys that can tote the rock effectively 15 times a game. Damn, I am getting excited just typing that. We also have some talented receivers that can get open and a QB that can get them the ball. So, what is Eli's game plan going to be? Wear them down and control the clock with the run game, balanced attack to keep them guessing, or do we spread em out with the passing game to create gaping holes for big runs? Our weakness on defense is on the corner back island and they have some good receivers. But they are going to have an inexperienced QB, possibly a true freshman (freshmore) taking the snaps, so how do they handle the attack up front? Do they run the ball more to help their QB? This could be a low scoring affair just based off the game plans of both offenses. As I said earlier, I am anxious to see what Bentley and his receivers are able to do against the Carolina secondary. They carved up Clemson pretty good last year but with some different pieces to the puzzle.

We also scored 21 against Troy and 27 against ULL.

But the past NCSU games don’t really tell us anything either, since, you know, that was a different team’s players who scored those points.

With all that said... I expect UNC’s defense to be vulnerable and think we can score pretty well on them. I also have a feeling we’ll need to.
