Mount Rushmore- Howard Knob
Interesting takes on the best front court of App State basketball. I've seen various opinions on the greatest football players and the Goat is without question but if they carved out 4 for each sport on the Knob who is there? Wasn't exactly sure what the appropriate folder would be for this.

Re: Mount Rushmore- Howard's Knob
Did you ever see the soccer team play volleyball during a basketball half-time? Using on soccer skills? Amazing.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Re: Mount Rushmore- Howard's Knob
It’s funny how you forget things then someone mentions it and you think “ ohhhh yeah”. Those guys were incredible. A couple were world class athletes. With names hard to spell…

Re: Mount Rushmore- Howard's Knob
In wrestling, we have only had 2 guys that were 2x All Americans at the Division 1 level, Mark Fee and Jonathan Millner. Those two would have to be on the short list.

If you're going that way, you may as well add Tony Petersen to the list.311neers wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 2:16 pmBilly Jones.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 1:46 pmI’ll go the other way with Wall of Shame: Capel, Mack Brown, Withers

Re: Mount Rushmore- Howard's Knob
I would agree but it's hard to leave out Sam Martin, punter, who is climbing the ladder of many records for punters in the history of the NFL.

Re: Mount Rushmore- Howard's Knob
Time for me to be uber pedantic. The official name is Howard Knob according to the USGS. A fact that very few seem to know.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Gerald Adams was a class act. Whether you were a $500 YC donor or somebody like Sofield, Gerald made you feel like the most important person in the room. It's hard to overestimate what Gerald and Julia mean to App State Athletics.

Re: Mount Rushmore- Howard Knob
Of course generally speaking any Mt Rushmore- Knob in our case would consist of a select group of 4. I was really interested in takes for football and basketball. Other sports are probably a little tougher and would take someone with an extensive knowledge. Interesting that this branched off into non athletic folks. We could include the HK group of the historically most esteemed App people- not to include Cline unfortunately.
