Clark’s was Monday though. Already over.
Been waiting for someone to use Marsha.
My folks grew up in Ohio (We moved to NC when I was 3) Mom's cousin came south to play football at Lenior-Rhyne in the 60s, back when L-R and App were conference rivals.hapapp wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:59 pmWell, back in my day (early 70s) at App, people often referred to it as Happy Appy. Heck my screen name comes close. Most of the folks my age (non-App folks) often say Appy State and they aren't being disrespectful. Frankly, it doesn't bother me. Sometimes, I think, we can be a bit too sensitive about such.
Hey friend, thanks for stopping by glad to have you! I'd love to clear up a couple of points for you. First no one said anything about Doc except it seems he has a healthy respect for our staff and program. The "Appy" comments were in reference to the reporter not Doc. Secondly I don't believe anyone here thinks we are walking into Joan C. Edwards stadium and crushing the Herd. Honestly I believe the sentiment here is that this is going to be a dog fight between two very good teams. Now listen there will be plenty of comments made on here that would be considered offensive to your fan base, but they haven't been made yet.4DHerd wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 6:05 amFor those of you complaining about the reference of "Appy State" being intended as a disrespect from Doc, then you did not watch the entire video or did you hear what he said. He praised your coaching staff, players and program though out the press conf. MU fans love App State and we are truly excited to have these matchups again. Heck, many wish we could see this game every year.
I grew up in Huntington during the Southern Conf days and that was how the media used the schools name. In no way was or is it meant to put your program down. We look forward to Saturday and please for those driving up have a safe trip.
Also, for those thinking this will be a cake walk on either side is greatly incorrect. You guys have a solid program and for MU we are finally heading in the right direction with a QB who is capable of finding open targets and threading the needle. MU will be much tougher than the 49's. We lost to them due to a QB who had all kinds of issues and we have many weapons now that were not available last year. It's a new day.
If you are looking for a good place to eat, try Fat Patty's next to the stadium . Go Herd.
That's the biggest thing wrong our society now.ah59396 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 5:35 pmWaaay too sensitive. “Appy” isn’t nearly as cringe as the people that complain about being called it.hapapp wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:59 pmWell, back in my day (early 70s) at App, people often referred to it as Happy Appy.

From the interview, I like your coach Doc, great name. Don't forget that your QB is a Freshman, and has played 1 game against an FCS caliber team. The competition is a few notches better this Saturday, for both teams.4DHerd wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 6:05 amFor those of you complaining about the reference of "Appy State" being intended as a disrespect from Doc, then you did not watch the entire video or did you hear what he said.

Its great that it doesnt bother you. But I certainly dont agree that those who don't like it, myself included, have an "inferiority complex" about their alma mater. I actually think our university is a first class institution worthy of respect. If they dont mean anything by "Appy" then its should be just as easy for them to use/call us App. Its one letter. Noone calls Mississippi State "Missy State" or Missouri "Mizzouy." It began as a dig, it will always be a dig (conciously or subconsciously), and I think its fair that a majority of our fans don't like it.hapapp wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 5:47 pmI've never had anyone use it as a derogatory reference when talking to me. They have no idea that some folks are offended. I also don't live in NC. Sorry but I'm not bothered by it and never correct them. I don't have an inferiority complex about where I went to school.MtnMan09 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:26 pmBut it is derogatory and that's why people don't like it. A "Happy Appy" was a stoned app student. It was used to talk down to us as a "little brother" institution that was just a place for kids who liked to get high. Ive never heard anyone use it in a context where they were trying to refer to us fondly. Its always used when someone is scoffing at us and trying to place us beneath their school.hapapp wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:59 pmWell, back in my day (early 70s) at App, people often referred to it as Happy Appy.

Agree on NEERS!! Season tickets should be lost if a ticket holder used that term!!wncapp78 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:44 pmIs it more derogatory than “Vandy”?
More than NEERS?
Yes it is in the Media Guide as Do Not Use.
But in East Tenn/SW Va/WV it is used all the time, not as a slam.
The MLB Rookie League, The Appalachian League was universally referred to by fans and media as THE APPY LEAGUE. I promise they were not trying to insult App State.
There is a small town in SWVA, Appalachia, Va, where many of the residents say they are from APPY VA.
We have noted to all media we do not wish to be called APPY State. I’m good to not lose sleep if someone doesn’t see that or realize it.
Now—-NEERS?? Fingernails Screeching on the Blackboard.
