This week, it's hard not to think back from a few years ago about moments that have made memories on this mountain. After the end of the 2021 season and the beginning of the 2022 season, App State had lost three games in a row to decent teams. The loss to Louisiana in the Sun Belt Championship, the first bowl loss to Western Kentucky, and to North Carolina in home opener that included a wild fourth quarter. The following week, the Mountaineers went to Texas A&M and snapped that three game skid. While being interviewed after the game, Shawn Clark said, "We had lost three in a row, and that's hard at Appalachian State." In 2023, when App State defeated College Gameday hosts James Madison, Shawn Clark was emotional in his postgame interview on television with his family at his side saying, "We are built for this." There is no denying that times are tough right now. Nobody feels bad for us except ourselves. Only we can change our outlook for what the future holds.

I have always maintained a personal policy to never pick us to lose no matter the opponent and no matter how the realistic part of my brain knew what was likely to happen. At least for years I still felt like the team we assembled was still full of TIGMA guys. Now like many others I just don’t see or feel it.

No prediction

I think this cold weather pushed some birds down. Should be a good day for duck hunting.

good luck guys.

Hard to pick us at this point. I think we only win one more game and this is not it.

Hope I'm horribly wrong, but that didn't work last week.

I think I had the exact same prediction as you biggie, so I'll edit mine a bit.

I feel JMU will take the opportunity to embarrass us during a down year, especially with a potential CFP spot in sight. I’m wishing Santa brings us a mobile QB for Christmas.

Pain.

I just can’t…..

It baffles me that I have a listener (gamecock fan) who messages me weekly to tell me he wants Dowell Loggains back as OC in Columbia. We’re stating down a losing season and an 0-4 record against our traditional rivals.

As usual games are won in the trenches, they will win both DL and OL.
