Boise Discussion - 7:30pm

[311neers]

It was 24-14 and we gave them a pick 6…
Wheels fell off.

Boise has 5x the talent and coaching.

Dude we shouldn’t be losing by this much to another g5 school period

Boise is closer to a P4 Big 10 school than they are to us. They went toe to toe with Oregon and Penn state last season for the record. Everyone’s expectation were skewed because they had a terrible week 1 against a very good USF team, who is also closer to a P4 SEC school than us (as evident by them beating Florida).

My god listen to yourself.

What happened to anybody anywhere anytime?

Those slogans are cute but not realistic in every battle. Multiple things can be true. We can fight, which we did, and also be overmatched, which we were. Boise flipped a switch that we are not capable of and finished the game on a 23-0 run. They are a great team. We are not. It’s not rocket science.

You are talking like we are an FCs team.

Unfortunately, G5 is the new FCS.

[t4pizza]

I also disagree that Boise is a peer team. We are peer teams with other average programs like Marshall, Coastal and JMU. Boise has been a step above us. When people recite the “most winningiest programs” stat, they leave out what has happened in the recent seasons. We were on equal footing in 2018/2019. Boise had a small blip but is now a playoff contender annually. We had a blip and have not recovered yet.

They are not a great team, they got boat raced by USF. They looked like a great team against us because we are currently playing like a very bad team, but that does not make them a great team. We just really are playing very poorly right now. Hopefully it changes soon.

[WASU 93]

This fan base is actually insufferable at times. Figure out what the **** you want. We fired a coach in December, which was the right decision. But with that decision, comes inevitable rebuilding. We have 60 new players and lost what top end talent we did have to the portal. We do not have the depth or talent to compete with Boise State right now. Thats just the cold hard truth. This team was patched together in January and I’m not giving up on anyone just yet.

Most of the folks posting on this thread right now are the least knowledgeable, loudest, and most miserable members of the “fan” base. Evidently, none of these folks remember Satterfield’s first two seasons.

Don't use too broad of a brush. Some of us actually understand the game quite well and haven't forgotten the for sale signs in Satts yard.

We closed the score to 27-14 wirh 10:40 left in the 3rd quarter and didn’t get another first down the rest of the game and turned the ball over three times. That is the most inept period in the history of App State offensive football. As an educated fan who made the trip, that is unacceptable and embarrassing.
That’s not being a downer, just stating the facts

Not sure why you quoted me on this one as I agree with you. My post in response was to the original poster who seems to think when people are upset over poor play they don't know what they are talking about.

It was supporting what you said

If this is where we are going as a fan base count me out.

We beat a top budget SEC team just two seasons ago. And we are saying we can’t compete with Boise?

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Defense played well until they got wore out. Running game looks good, but we don’t have enough horses and the O line is thin. Can’t throw pic 6’s every game and expect to win. Not sure if that is a QB issue or lack of protection issue. I’d like to see if a QB change makes a difference. But it might be the same if we can’t protect the QB. Luckily, our schedule is pretty easy from here minus JMU. Think we can get 4+ wins, maybe so momentum will help

Got you. Sorry I'm a little on edge after that thumping. Thanks for the support and well thought out response..

[Apptiger]

Was the game and a few observations. Zero energy on the sidelines. Zero. Also and this may be dumb but we don’t point anymore during kickoffs. Swann has terrible body language. I get he’s dinged up but he is not leading this team at the moment. Defense is a mess. As was echoed by others. Boise was favored to win but this was reminiscent of when we played Wyoming years ago as an fcs team. I’m disheartened . I will say. Boise does it right. Great fans great environment. Was refreshing to not hear a terrible hip hop
Song between every play

We may need to start rethinking our AD and his hires. Football, including gameday, has slowly declined in their tenure

I was right behind the bench for most of the game and it was zero enthusiasm. I don’t need fake hype but “goin through the motions” entered my mind a few times.

I sat right behind the bench at USM a couple of weeks ago and left more optimistic than I was when I got there. That optimism is gone. I see no improvement at all after a bye week. Rested and plenty of time for game plan development and to make adjustments. We make the same mistakes over and over. Four turnovers and 11 penalties. Not going to win many games that way.
Bright spot, only one pick six tonight.

Punting is our best play outside of Dubinion off tackle.
The defense is better than last year but that is it.They can't stay on the field that long and need to improve (still) on third downs.
I got the impression Boise was just playing around with us most of the game and trying not to laugh.

We'll see how the rest of the year plays out.
WIlling to give some grace with everything and everyone being so new but it just doesn't have the look, the feel, the intensity or the soul of App State Football.

Geez. Are you actually this dense or just arguing? The conversation had nothing to do with budget but okay.

In this moment of time, September 2025, Boise State is a much better football team than we are. That doesn’t mean we cannot compete with them or should run away from the challenge. We competed with them for 3 quarters and got our ass kicked in the final 20 minutes. I don’t see the controversy here.

In September 2022, Texas A&M was not a good football team. We competed and beat them. However, we too were also not a good football team in 2022 but we were better that day.

Calling a team a great team is not calling our team trash. It’s calling them a great team.

Respectfully the defense didn’t play well. Boise had a clean pocket all night

We obviously can’t compete with Boise, based on the result of today. What am I missing?

This is a weird take. We beat A&M and they aren’t good. We get housed by a Boise team that got housed by south Florida and we are suppose to pat ourselves on the back because they didn’t score 60. Like what!

I disagree that theyre a great team.

They got demolished by USF.

They won’t win 10 games.

We won’t win 5

That’s fair. Everyone hated Clark. But he tried to keep the app spirit alive. That may sound corny but looking at this Sideline up close. Man I don’t know

So it’s okay to lose 48-14 to South Alabama as long as the app spirit is alive? But it’s not okay to lose 47-14 to Boise State under a different coach. Now this is a weird take.

It’s really not but it takes a reasonable level of intelligence and football knowledge. How is it weird to call a 5-7 team not good?

Boise State is a better team than A&M in 2022. That isn’t a weird take.

I’m also not patting ourselves on the back? We weren’t good enough tonight, but that doesn’t mean we are a terrible team yet. Are we that far beyond decency, common sense and intelligence that we can’t have reasonable takes anymore?

It’s not fair to either coach to compare 5 years vs 4 games. It’s not appropriate either. Sorry.
