Niners getting bent over by NCCU

[Well it has been a while since we have won a
championship

Way back in 2012 we won a SoCon championship

Thanks for the assist. That is part of the deal. Part of the chest pounding is how we are just too good to be playing in the SACON. it is JV, remember? Well at this point we have lost to 2 JV teams. So again it might be time to tone it down for a while. I mean really our last conference championship was in JV

Did SeattleApp hack your account? There are fans in every fanbase that pound their chest and act the fool. Imagine that, we have some too.

Nobody hacked my account. Just making an observation in hopes that some would think about it a little before they act like they do.

Rinse and repeat...every fan base has bad apples. Color me shocked. Maybe your attempt will be successful, we shall see.

As I said in SeattleApp's thread, there are much more things to be concerned with regarding App football than anonymous message board posters.

I apologize. I didn't read the approved subject list.

[ASUMountaineer]

I apologize. I didn't read the approved subject list.

Ugh, who mentioned an approved subject list?

[AppAttack]

Going out of our way to post a message about a first-year program losing a game makes us look pathetic. Ignoring them and not caring is the best thing. Thank you. Let's not turn into NC State. Please.

Hope you realize this is sarcastic. I never have and never will think of the SOCON as anything but Division One football.

Sarcasm not lost on me for sure. If we were 2-0 SoCon would still be JV to some on here. At 0-2 now the MEAC and Big South are suddenly fielding quality teams that we should not be surprised can into our house and beat us. I was talking with an Elon grad today and he told me he is not surprised they lost to A&T but he said "you are App State, you don't lose to no damn A&T". I agreed with him wholeheartedly.

[AtlAppMan]

What is wrong with a little bit of goading, kidding, etc. in sports? Isn't that part of the fun of participating. You don't have to take it so seriously. I remember growing up and hearing the Duke, Carolina and NC State fans kid each other in basketball all the time. That was what made it fun.

If I want to tell a UNCC fan that they would be beaten by several top high school teams in the area (i.e. SC Byrnes, several North Atlanta schools) what is the harm.

Also, we may be down right now but I bet you by the end of the season we will be delivering more punishment than taking. We are basically in a "program level" rebuilding period so I am really not that concerned. One day ASU football will be back bigger and stronger than ever.

Are you serious? Nobody is going out of their way to do anything. It's a message board and that is what happens. UNCC has been skewered here for years, why is it suddenly pathetic? I think it is great that they were hammered by the first legitimate team they played.

Completely agree on this point, Bcoach. I have been very much in favor of the FBS move, but I don't understand the folks who have to trash the SoCon in order to move up. The SoCon has been a good home. I do think we have outgrown it, but that doesn't mean that there are some excellent programs. Imagine that! I'm proud of where we've been AND where we're going. I wish some folks would realize that it's not an "either/or" choice.

It centers around entertainment value moreo than anything else.

My God son, you must be one bored mother f'er. You really need to get a life. I browse message boards to find information on my teams - For fun, I've got a lot better ideas than this.

I can't think of a fan base that deserved a big slice of humble pie more than them.
Wonder how many of their fans will be lurking over here after that whooping..

I'll come lurking every now and then because everyone in my immediate family was an App grad, so I have lightly followed the program for quite some time. Now I'll post here regarding Charlotte. I think the team and a lot of our fans needed a wake-up call. I for one never allowed myself to think we were anything special just because we handled Campbel and Chowan, but I certainly didnt expect to loose this game so badly. That said, looking at the stats, it was an interesting game.

Charlotte actually played relatively well on paper, but that youth thing seems to have kicked our ass. From the stat sheet:

First Downs:
Charlotte: 31
NCCU: 15

Net Yards Rushing:
Charlotte: 191
NCCU: 207

Net Yards Passing:
Charlotte: 342
NCCU: 178

Total Offensive Yards:
Charlotte: 533
NCCU: 385

So how does a team that gains 533 yards, out gaining it's opponent by 148 yards go on to loose by 40-13? Inexperience and the mistakes that come with it:
2 Fumbles Lost
5 Interceptions (1 for a pick 6)
Poor tackling - We seemed to have a desire to knock the hell out of someone, but cant wrap our arms around them to bring them down. NCCU made us pay for it. For example, average yards per return? NCCU holds the edge at 50.7 YDS to 17.4 YDS! Their kick returner would just bounce right off of us and keep going. That was probably the most frustrating thing I saw - other than the interceptions .

I think we are certainly better than we played, but we have a lot of learning to do. We've got a long way to go, and I hope our fans and young players understand that now.

I took a buddy who is an ASU grad and former baseball player to the NCCU game (ASU season ticket holder). We had an awesome time tailgating and watching the game. I look forward to the day when more of you can come down the mountain for a game in Charlotte, and can treat us to some great views and good times from KBS. Best of luck this weekend and for the rest of the season.

Not to stick up for Gonzo as he probably would not want ME to be the one to do that, but for one thing we really don't need you here to post about your team. Don't you have your own site? Second we don't play games on paper we play them on the field. There is only one stat that counts after a game and that is the one on the scoreboard. Maybe the way you lose a game like that is by playing it on paper.

It is an honor to see you go to bat for me, coach.

That's cool that you feel the need to break down all the excuses for your big loss and all, but no one on this board really cares about the X's and O's of the NCCU/UNCC game. We just enjoy seeing the scores of UNCc fans plummeting back to earth after a long media market conference invite/whipping up on non-scholarship teams high.

UNCc fans think UNCc is something special -- that the new football program was somehow born better than Appalachian. We respectfully disagree and when reality hits -- like it did last Saturday -- some fans like to relish the moment.

Oh well, at least he was respectful. I can tolerate opposing fans who are respectful. Very much unilke that Marshall fan who came on here thinking their sh*t didn't stink, and another UNCC fan or two.

For a little perspective. NCCU had more yards per rush and more yards per pass attempt and committed 3 turnovers of their own. They also had 7 flags thrown to UNCC 5. Most of your "yardage" was after going down 33 early and 2nd stringers entering the game in a prevent defense. While NCCU was content to run out the clock.


You flat out got beat. Hard to sugar coat it.

I love the whole "I have better things to do" followed by a long, in depth list of excuses just to make sure a bunch of App fans don't think too lowly of the niners.

No doubt. Who is really the bored mf'er?
