SB Championship game

[Rekdiver]

I'd say we are all assuming APP will be there.

Well, App IS in Boone, so...

I'm sure you've heard the old saying, "Counting our chickens before they hatch"

We don't need anymore backfield injuries, or we may be watching it on TV.

Putting the cart before the horse?

App has almost always had a back-up running back to fill the void. I doubt this year is any different.

I’m 6-3 220 and have 4 years of eligibility left. I may be slightly arthritic, but if we were desperate, I’d run through a brick wall if it would help App win. I may be good for one or two snaps.....

I’m 6’3” 230 have some eligibility left and I can run thru a brick wall at the age of 68....but I need my car to do it.

I want in on this. They need a “Fridge” looking RB?

[HighPointApp]

5’11, 197, decent speed, great hands, might make something happen on a wheel route.

Put me in Coach D!!!!!

[BeauFoster]

I'm roughly Duck's size (Clifton, not the ones in the pond), but I seem to be lacking his panache. I'll gladly suit up, but if it comes to the point that I need to be in the game, then I hope that WVApp is ready to defend me as a player, because the attacks from this board will be coming from all sides.

[ASU84]

6'1", 240, with full eligibility. May have lost a step or 3 in the last 35 years but I'm game.

As fun as this is, most of don't have any eligibility left at App, sorry to say. 5 to play 4 beginning 1 year after high school graduation if I understand correctly. But hey, why don't we arrange an alumni game for championship weekend? The Yosef's Cabin Bowl. Firemoose will have to make sure plenty of emergency medical personnel are on hand. Start stretching now folks.

Don't think this is true, look at all the late 20's Australian punters and the handful of military veterans that are closer to 30 than 20.

Well, I looked it up but didn't read the rule cover to cover. NCAA also issues waivers in special situations, ie medical redshirts(6th year). Military and foreign student waivers also make sense but not 40 yo+ college graduates. Not a big deal though.

I agree with you, I get that none of us are walking out into KBS in uniform but there are plenty of precedents and NCAA waivers are a joke with no rhyme or reason to them when it comes to their decisions.

6'1", 240, with full eligibility. May have lost a step or 3 in the last 35 years but I'm game.

5'9", 185, with full eligibility. However, at age 64 I'll pass.

[biggie]

Believe the eligibility issue would be from being in college and not playing, so you use up your eligibility during those years. Maybe some would have a year left if you graduated in 4 years. Some of us had 'extended' drinking, I mean education.

I'd have fun trying to get back over 300lbs, would die, but it would be fun.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.

Me and Bumppo would make for one helluva set of lockdown corners.

The peak of my career at cornerback was a garbage time QB sack on the high school JV team. The coach was shocked with good reason.

We have 5 conf. games left, 3 of which are against GAST, GASO and Troy who each have only one loss! If we should have a hiccup against any one of them and then both teams win out, we would be out of the championship game because they would own the tiebreaker. The only team in the east that is out of it (not mathematically) is Coastal. It’s way too early to assume anything. Stay the course. 1 - 0

I was just saying that I think App has guys who can fill the void at running back, should there be one. Wasn't discussing wins and losses.

[ASU2012]

Our group booked a cabin earlier this week for SB Championship weekend in Boone. Blame me if we fall apart

[biggie]

Going to need to rub the rabbit's foot.

[Rick83]

Never thought i'd say this but I'm a little worried about the GA State game. If Troy knocks them off this weekend then I'll go back to just worrying about Troy...but if GA state beats them they could be tough when we go down to Atlanta.
Don't understand why they lost to TX State (3OTs), and Furman gave them a scare, but they're looking much improved.
