Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
During my grad school year ('70) I had a 9 AM until noon seminar class with five fellow students and the prof. My standing assignment was to bring the doughnuts from Carolina Pharmacy. They always had 'em ready for me to pick up at 8:45. Always still hot...6 glazed-cherry cake and 6 chocolate-iced cake. It was a three-hour class, but the doughnuts were gone by 9:30.
Proud triple-degree App grad--Classes of '66, '70 and '81.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Just curious. Is this an effort to see how many pages this thread will stretch to or will it return to discussions, announcements and thoughts on coaching our awesome football team? Just wondered. Go Appalachian Mountaineers! And no matter what the topic ... Onward and Upward!

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Thank you for the heads up. I will discontinue the eating of Vienna Sausage. I'm not as poor as I was in school but still find myself eating them from time to time.ASU84 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 11:22 amVienna sausages and saltines too. Can't stand the sight of them now. Probably the reason for one of the hypertensive medications I'm on now.Apptiger wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 11:01 amThe old A&P deli had a similar deal. Three dogs, chili and onions for a $1.50 at noon. By 3 pm they were marked down to $1.00. Also used to eat one meal a day at he Pizza Hut buffet. $4 0r $5 all you can eat.Apptrain wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:02 pmOh, was it? Memory failing a bit, like I couldn’t remember if it was 3 or 4 dogs for a buck. Of course, when eating there things were a little fuzzy that late at night.
Broke college students can find the deals.... Think I lived on a jar of p nut butter and a box of saltines for about a week once...![]()

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Appstatealum anything new? Anybody else heard anything about our last coaching spot? GO APPS!!appstatealum wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 9:43 amApparently Drink has two guys in mind, couldn't get any names though. He said that both were top notch guys, but I guess we will have to wait and see. I just want good teachers at the position who can fine tune our skill guys.

Those two guys wouldn't happen to be "Ed and me"? Understand they have good connections with young players in Georgia.

Just to keep this thread going, UNCC thinks they are better than an AAC invite and think it is locked between them and ODU LOL

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Wow, the delirious runs deep with our friends in Charlotte. As us Charlotteans know, no one cares about Charlotte football. It would take a long time for them to get to a point of relevancy and I’m pretty sure the AAC would not want to wait. The AAC’s goal is elevate their football to maintain relevance in the power football landscape, Charlotte would water down their conference.ComebackShack wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 1:51 pmJust to keep this thread going, UNCC thinks they are better than an AAC invite and think it is locked between them and ODU LOL

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Overhead a male Charlotte fan talking to a female with an ECU shirt on while waiting for my daughter's dance class to get out. The Charlotte fan starting talking to ECU girl who appeared not to give a sh*t.
He brought up Mike Houston and how him going to ECU ended up being good for both programs because Charlotte didn't want Houston and they were really happy with the coach they hired. I wanted to remind him that they fired a 5-7 FBS coach to hire a 6-6 FCS coach, but decided to just observe.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
The face on Charlotte fans when they realize that App has a larger share of the Charlotte market than Charlotte. Even has the right colored jacket.ComebackShack wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 1:51 pmJust to keep this thread going, UNCC thinks they are better than an AAC invite and think it is locked between them and ODU LOL

Most publicity they've gotten in the past 2 years is the Grady Davis fiasco.appstatealum wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:37 amApp State has definitely got more run on local Charlotte radio than Charlotte has.... FWIW

Other than the pregame hype and subsequent beat down they suffered at our hands , probably so.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:08 pmMost publicity they've gotten in the past 2 years is the Grady Davis fiasco.appstatealum wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:37 amApp State has definitely got more run on local Charlotte radio than Charlotte has....
