[New Article]Official "Mike, What day is it?" prediction thr

Reality, sometimes, is a harsh pill to swallow, especially when served with a side of hope. Last weekend, the Mountaineers held their own in Ann Arbor before a couple of plays went in the favor of the Wolverines and ended any chances of a second upset. The Apps found themselves down 14-0 in the middle of the second quarter when Michigan doinked a field goal off the goal post. On the ensuing series, a miscommunication prior to fourth down play forced the Mountaineers to take a timeout, and gave Michigan time to regroup. Wisely, Appalachian punted after the Mountaineer coaches erupted on the sideline. That moment was the true end of the game. Any hope had vanished. Michigan’s next play went for 59 yards and they never looked back, scoring 21 more points before halftime. The hard part is the reality of FBS football. The Mountaineers will never be taken lightly again. With more scholarships and wins that are so vital in the new world of the college football playoff, the days of sneaking up on an opponent are over. That pill should have been swallowed seven years ago, but here we are again choking on our own pity.

After watching UNC-KonKord and Campbell play in person, and App play Michigan, we are going to romp on the Camels.....They may surprise us a little early with their up front play on Defense.....Greg Milhouse starts for them and the rest of the defensive front is not as bad as it may APPear. Kalif Phillips made them look bad in the second half. They could not keep his helmet on in the first half and a couple of big plays led to short fields and easy TD carries.

I agree, Kam is our starter and I actually think he proved his toughness and again......0 turnovers against and OBVIOUSLY better group.

I'll say we score as much as we want......and think Campbell will be lucky to score at all. HONESTLY....They can't kick unless they get real close and we are a lot better than Charlotte.
Go APPS!

If this game isn't over by halftime we got some real problems, should be atleast a 28 point spread.

42-13 (two missed Camel extra points)

Scott calls off the dogs early and our subs have just as easy of a time as the starters. And we'll be up by much more than a field goal at the half. This ain't UNCc, Camels.
