My lingering question from last year or the year before is- who is the last good team we “curb stomped”? Not sure exactly what the exact number is in terms of margin but those games have been few and far between. Would be a great question for folks. I’d lean toward beating a conference foe who is an above .500 team by 3 TD’s while dominating on defense. I don’t really expect many of those Wofford type games. If I recall they were still pretty decent that year?
2019 Championship game against Louisiana. Final score didn’t show it but it was.

Everyone has become better in the SBC, thanks largely to the early success of App and Georgia Southern.

It was just last season we curb stomped Marshall 31-9 and Ga State 42-14. I'd even add Ga So at 55-27.

Before that it was Citadel (49-0), Ga St (42-17), and Bobby Mo (42-3) in '22

Sold out, but I'm sure a few won't make it.

Yup, we've got a lot of tickets for sale just on the Cabin alone. Let the students sit in those seats! Have to win, all eyes are on us tonight. Cannot come out flat.

I was about to say, there sure are a lot of people selling tickets on the Cabin for this game. Don't know if people just bought up season tickets knowing they couldn't make this game or what.

It's hard for folks with season tickets to travel mid week so, not terribly surprising there are tickets for sale on the Cabin. Makes me proud to see the crowds we get for these games though. Most mid-week games are pathetic when they show the stands.

No doubt, especially given our location. We do need some form of fan redistribution so to speak. It looks odd to have empty seats in the stands and yet an over-capacity hill. However I am sure the folks in the stands would not want to sit next to or near drunk students.

For those who care, there will be a flyover today, so keep your cameras ready

None of those seemed like a good Ole fashioned curb stomping. Not like the Wofford game those many years ago. I hope our guys are as pisssd as I am with everything I'm general and take it out on the south bammy boys tonight. I'm not pissed with App, more to do with work to be more clear on that.

I don’t need a curb stomping. Control the LOS and you control the game.

If we win every game by 1 point and go undefeated....I'd be happy. 1 point or 100, its a win.

What would an App State game be without an opening drive TD by the opposition.
