"It's a major award." Fra-gi-le - must be Italian."

I may be offbase, but I get the feeling that the future of college football (especially at this level) is not about fans travelling to games. Its about three things - viewers, viewers and viewers. We've been used to a league over the years where the schools were in driving distance and we'd show up ...

Lots of great memories there as well. My wife had paton for the class you mention, I'll have to ask her what she recalls.

89, was it Dino DiBernardi who spoke on this?

I haven't been reading or posting regularly, so forgive me if this has been previously addressed, but I remain - after all this time - still uncertain as to what our best move is. My gut feeling is that the best solution is a total reconfiguration of collegiate athletics with the net end result of c...

Good to hear.

And naturally, The Citadel goes to Raleigh and lays a giant egg. Been that kind of year.

Great watch - thanks for posting. One of the App players that season was the late great Marion Query from Concord, whose high school career was just honored last year. That was a great App team.

I'm cautiously optimistic but really am not sure what to expect on the offensive side. I guess we will begin to see soon enough. It may be reasonable to expect some lag time for SS and the staff to get their execution down...none of these guys have been coached by him.
