The last ten years have been quite a ride. That might be a very simple description, but it fits. Each step the Appalachian football program has taken has led to this moment in history, another first for a program that is filled with a laundry list of great games, fantastic finishes and unexpected upsets. The first bowl game in the modern era of Mountaineer football is upon us. Oddly enough, in the wins that Appalachian is mostly recognized by are over teams from the north and midwest. When mentioning Appalachian, it was those games that many would say, "put us on the map". Those four games were also unique in the way they were broadcasted to the masses. The championship games were the only only football game on. That one particular upset was the first broadcast by the Big Ten Network. Similarly, if you want to watch some football this weekend in the late afternoon on Saturday, you are going to have to watch the Mountaineers. The setting provides this program and university another chance to get that national recognition that you can't put a price tag on. The Mountaineers have been pretty good in these situations over the years, and making history is what Appalachian is all about.

If App holds onto the ball and elimates stupid penalties the chances of victory are pretty good. It is ironic, the seniors (App's final FCS recruited class) will APPear in a FBS Bowl, good job men. Now, go make history and win it!! Go Apps!!!

Our guys have got to focus and get a good start. I think we can score on Ohio and our Defense will be ready. I hope all the Seniors get in and have a great finale. With no major bowl trip hangovers and the guys get their concentration on the football game by Saturday our Apps will Give "Em Hell!!
