2019 Ga Southern game need some advice

[NoLongerLurking]

Once again, thanks for making me feel sane YC.

How does a person become a new App State fan? Not that we aren't happy to have new fans, but this introduction is interesting. Curiosity getting the better of me.

Well here goes I have a good friend and he is a Wake Forest Fan. And I went to Clemson and cheer for them. So we decided to come up with a team we could both cheer for and we chose App State. Always have admired from afar so it was a no brainer for me. Also said friend has a vaca house in Newland so we will be driving to and fro there.

Anyway nothing but respect for App State and excited to go to the Ga Southern game.

I sent a PM to the new fans yesterday. heard nothing back...

Which means they are not on Yosef's Cabin religiously. Possible red flag if you ask me.

Hey I understand the septicism here, I would probably react the same. But reality is we are coming to the game to cheer for App. Have bought an App Cap and have an App Banner flying at our Beach House. So believe what you want but just looking for some tickets and a good time at the game! Go APP (see I am learning).

Welcome aboard!!! But, can the appystate moniker. Some alumni are offended by the term.

I'm fine with "Appy." Look at how WSU has embraced "Wazzu," Missouri with "Mizzou," and Syracuse's "Cuse."

Even if you don't personally say Appy, getting triggered by it is pretty comical, IMO.

[Rekdiver]

How about just App?

[NoLongerLurking]

Go Appy Neers!!!!

[ASU3432Mi]

Septicism? Not Appy. APP!

Life is Good will make collegiate brand shirts....ie. AppState shirt.
I want one with mountain background. Camping gear. The dog. And a quote saying “Happy Appy”

It will be my favorite Life is Good shirt. Someone please design it and make it happen. I have zero artistic skills but I know there is an App for it. “There’s an App for that” or “There’s an Happy Appy for that”

Alright changed the username. Have a good 4th!

Our branding does not include Appy nor Neers.........Cringe worthy.

Who exactly is triggered? I don't like it, but I don't get upset by it. It did used to perturb me when Cricket Morton used to say it derisively several times a night on Delano Little and her show on WBT-TV. But I never threw a shoe at the TV though.

What if they said Cusey, mizzouy, or Wazzuy?

Truly depends on who you ask. Some say it originated from within the electronic media covering the Chattanooga Mocs during the late 80s SoCon MBB Tourneys played in Asheville's Civic Center. My wife's WVA family/all Marshall alums/fans vow and declare it came forth from Huntington's WSAZ-TV3 during those same tourney days when Herd fans turned Asheville green for a late Feb or early March week every year!

Actually, I'm pretty sure the "Appy State" moniker goes back at least to the '78 FB season and the 72-14 early October beat-down the Mocs put on Jim Brakefield's "Appys" at the old Chamberlin Field venue. I was there for that stompin' and won't ever forget the loooooong drive back. I credit the TIMES FREE PRESS sports desk for the insult. And they did intend for it to be taken as an insult!

It definitely goes back further than the late 80's. There was a page in the Yearbook while I was in school about the use of "Appy State" saying that if other schools insist on using that name we will start calling them Chatty, Marshy, Davey, Furmy, etc. I graduated in 84 and that name preceded me.

That being said, the name "Happy Appy" was not particularly loathed and didn't carry the same reaction....at least to my recollection.

Nappy Heers!

We shouldn't conflate "Happy Appy" with some rabid rival fan or rival sportscaster mouthing off about "loathsome hillbillies" or "miserable appys."

"Happy Appy" is a positive term. It reflects our good fortune in landing in such a magnificent setting and at such a splendid school. The bookstore used to sell handsome wall plaques incorporating the term. I know they sold, because we've had one since...uhhh...well let's just say we've had one for quite a while.

The "appy bombs" and the many snide or profane variations we get tossed our way speak for themselves and for the source...

There are many who disagree.

You only had one dreadful hour back. Many of us had 3, 4, & 5 hours home.
