I love App State so much... and these losses really hurt.... but I have to try and put it all in perspective. I'm not living in a country with rockets coming down on me, I'm not being kidnapped, and I'm not being hunted down and shot. I get so wound up but I have to say ..it's just football. My life is good and I'll appreciate what I have. Life could be a lot worse.

I need some positivity out of this where’s 94 Maybe Denver or App news ? I’m trying to find some light in this.

I don't know what the answer is but something has to change.

I hate watching this team.

Fire Shawn Clark. I would literally rather truly suck for a year or two while rebuilding than watch this mediocre comedy every week.

I just drove 2 and 1/2 hours when I should have been working for what really was getting beat by a team that was just not good. Edit just better than us. Sorry it’s a long dark quiet road down 221 tonight and I’m kinda well

For those keeping track, we're 1-1. Float/camping trip next weekend, should be nice with the leaves peaking.

I don’t see us winning 6 games. Marshall, JMU, GS are definitely losses with the way we’ve been playing. And, at this point I’m giving Coach Elliot his first win over us.

You do know this is a rebuilding year? We need to realize the landscape is not like it was. There’s money now and we don’t have it. NIL is real

I’m not going to the GA State game like I had planned. I don’t want to see State’s first win against App. If changes aren’t made, these big crowds are going to dry up, because like you, they aren’t going to drive to come see a 4-8 team.

Also, prime time nationally televised game and we shit the bed. Guess app fans are supposed to be happy that we beat ULM of all SB teams by 1 point but it only took a last second field goal to win. Bought $200+ of app apparel yesterday, tempted to burn it after todays performance. Coaches are basically more it less clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

What the absolute hell are you talking about? This is Shawn Clark’s FOURTH YEAR. This team should be full of juniors and seniors HE recruited and they should be kicking ass. THAT AINT HAPPENING!

I’m officially done with the coaching staff. I hate it as Clark loves this team and the university and I would absolutely love to have a coach stay for the long run and keep the momentum we have had, but he isn’t it. Every game, outside of UNC and A&M, we look unprepared and undisciplined. It’s sad to see where this program is at this point. We always start slow and when we finally decide to step it up, it’s too late. The fumble at the end was a huge play, but the slow start is what killed is and is what we seem to do time and time again. Enough is enough.

We need up and coming coaches who plan to use us as a stepping stone. This staff is a disaster.

Clarks highest level should be OC or Oline Coach.

He is an interim coach who was made permanent status because of how everything went down with Eli.

I have completely shifted. Clark is doing his best. We just don’t have the talent. Thought it during Wyoming, confirmed during ULM and tonight leaves no doubt. Our team is not good enough.
Who is in charge of recruiting the talent?
The dollar these days. NIL money makes us mediocre for all future purposes
Does Marshall and JMU have that much more NIL money? They've seemed to keep up and lead the way with the improvement of the Sun Belt.

Has anyone ever been demoted from HC to position coach on a staff? SC seemed like a pretty good o line coach. If everyone gets canned this year, we won’t get to see what Sloan can do after recruiting his own players.

We will never have NIL quality support when we are more concerned about hiring "the next Jerry Moore" versus adapting to the new college landscape and winning while capitalizing on our national.brand recognition. That leverage we have as a G5 program is sinking quick- but I fear the "traditional" booster could give a rats ass.

This is what it looks like when you hire a bad head coach and he’s in year 4 with a roster of his players. I’ve seen this movie many times.
