Our margin for error is gone.A three conference loss team isn't going to win the East unless things get really weird , weirder. If we start playing for the future then Brice needs to sit , but we know that won't happen.
I like your optimism, but we just lost to Texas State- a team that has NEVER beaten us before and routinely finishes at the bottom of the West and is the weakest of the remaining conference foes we face. I want to believe, but it is really hard right now.

Cam and Noel always being injured is hurting us. Chop, Marshal and Castle are great 4th quarter backs. Put #14 out there and ride Tecmo Bowl. Take the redshirts off all of the Defensive lineman and just let the best players play. Our LB’s and DB’s are fine, but our line SUCKS!

I tend to agree with you. Whatever we are doing isn't working, let's see if the young guys have something we need, especially Roberts. Hell, they all have 4 games to show what they got in game time atmosphere (not practice) so I say we use those 4 games to see what they have. Worst case senario it gives our young guys experience for the future.
Honestly, we shouldn’t be redshirting anyone if they are ready to play now. With the free portal, none of these kids are promised to be here next year. Use them while they are on campus….ESPECIALLY ROBERTS.
I’ve never understood redshirting freshmen who are ready.

I just finished watching Thor: Love and Thunder. Christian Bale is great as the antagonist. And that is about it. The rest of the movie was less than average. I get where they are going with the set ups for future movies, but this was just hard to stay interested in with how terrible the writing is.

Speaking of terrible writing, Rings of Power is just pathetic. The writing is about CW DC show level of bad. They are butchering the timelines that Tolkien created and have just totally gone off the rails at this point making up all sorts of stuff to try and tell their version of his world. I despise that this will be what many younger generations get to see as Tolkien lore and Amazon will use their billions to make it so. Thankfully they can never get rid of Tolkien's original work or they probably would.

Andor is a series that is growing on me a bit even though the main character is such a huge han solo rip off. Truly, read the Han Solo trilogy to get the really story behind the rebellion. It also tells the true ways that han and chewie met and their dealings with the hutts and others as well as why he was on tattooine to begin with. But the andor series is pretty good. It's interesting to see what these mortals are doing in the universe of demi God force users.

You cray cray. Rings of Power is awesome. And the part in Thor where he gave the kids his power was lit.

Let me explain it to you . We have two losses with 5 games left in conference .Our margin for error is gone meaning we can't lose another game and hope to win the East , much less the conference.

I am not optimistic.We appear to be regressing .Five tough games against teams better than Texas State await us.Sean Elliot up next.

Am I correct that Robert Morris doesn’t count towards bowl eligibility?

Meaning we have to win 3 of:

Ga State
ODU
@ Coastal
@ Marshall
@ Ga Southern
YNWA

There's some stuff happening behind the scenes that we don't see. I'll leave it at that. Clark hasn't lost the locker room or anything, but he may be learning quickly he's too much of a players coach.

Noel was not going to play today. He's still not 100%.

Also, players are not executing on game day what is executed in game planning. Ultimately, that's on coaching but not entirely. Player leaders need to step up and make the rest realize what it takes. Its not just practice. It's living and breathing App State football. We have some guys that aren't doing that right now.

What is going on in the RB room? It’s been like this for 3 years now. Are these guys actually hurt or does Shawn just keep a dog house of RBs?

I was just about to start Rings of Power but will probably wait until season finale so I can binge it. I don’t mind that it doesn’t track the books to a tee. I am not thrilled with the woke trend the show as well as many others are going lately but I can live with it.

We need to hire Myquon Stout for one players meeting. I think he’s at Louisville.

We settled with Clark. It’s lead us to mediocrity. Those of you who have continuously stuck your head in the sand and stuck by his “our goals are still ahead of us,” fell for it.

And I don’t wanna hear, “oh why are you even watching if you clearly hate App.” I care enough to give a shit about our program racing to the bottom. We’ve had every advantage our last two coaches had roster wise, and the eyes of the college football world on us, and we’ve fallen flat for 3 years.

-No SBC championships
-Never ranked
-only a bow win against a 4 win North Texas
Who should we have hired instead ?

Woke trend? You mean characters that aren’t white in a fictional tale?

I'm not sure. I don't want to dog any of the players because everybody is different with injuries. But, at least today, my understanding is everything looked great with Noel all week. Medically cleared. Great week of practice. Looked the best he's looked in a while. But, for some reason decided he couldn't go right before kick off. He obviously played, but didn't want to. The game plan was heavily influenced by his return. When that was questionable, shit hit the fan.

By calling him cray cray you might have summed up why you like Ring of Power. I kid I kid. However you are in the minority with your take. That show is getting roasted

If this is true... that is not the mountaineer way. At this point, stats and shirts go out the door and we put the guy who is most willing to give his all for App on the field. Tonight, the main I saw were Brice, Pearson, Stroman and Dexter

MYbe our coaches should have listened to him and played freaking Roberts. Marshall looks to be a pretty good pass catcher too at leasr
