we haven't been good for a while now, yet alone elite. I mean we're ranked, but that's by default since teams above us lost. we haven't done anything rank worthy so far this season. I think playing at Tennessee would be a bigger game than hosting us

.. but not all of us U fans are like that. I think it will be a close game and if Miami isn't ready to play Appalachian State will eat our lunch. All of the pundits are hoping we lose. Most CFB fans hate Miami. We're the bad guy always, no matter what. We don't get a fair shake in officiating, even ...

I gather the point about not traveling well is a bit of a sore spot. I'm sure you Canes fans have heard it before - it certainly didn't originate here. Maybe it's less about loyalty/enthusiasm than about overall fan base size. Point taken. End result is the same - Miami doesn't tend to have as many...

How much are we paying Miami to come here? Zero. It is a straight up home and home. That's assuming Appalachian State makes the return trip in 2021. They could change their minds between now and then. Change our mind? We don't have the money to buy out the game and you're kidding yourself if you th...

AT least we are going to you guys for a game and first no less. YOu think Ohio State* or Florida would ever do this? They only play OOC schools at their place. I'm shocked OSU* is going to Oklahoma this weekend. Large state schools vs small private university. Will Appalachian State actually come t...

Stereotyping goes both ways. I'm seeing alot of stereotyping of Miami fans. Waah. Personally, I thought the prisoner look-a-like was a perfect rebuttal to all the trash talking & name calling from your end. In a more high-brow way. Sort of like a good wine. With aroma & scent of oak paddles. In fac...

LOL, Miami fans don't travel well. How amusing. We're a national brand. Most alumni are not in Florida so we have alumni all over the country. As one of our posters said, we're not huge like OSU* or Florida and we're relatively young (90 years old). That said, our alumni are extremely proud of all t...

Some of you may not realize but Appy State is larger than the Univ. of Miami. Our undergrad enrollment is around 10,000 and about 5,000 grads for a total of about 15,000 enrollment. I googled your enrollment and found it to be around 18,000. The U is located south of Miami proper on Highway US#1 in...

Believe me, living in Ohio I get this all the time. U of Miami is the higher rated school academically and much younger than Miami U, who made shirts about how their school is older than the state of Florida.

It's Sebastian the Ibis. The Ibis is an Egyptian symbol of knowledge and is supposed to the be the last bird to fly away when a storm comes and the first to arrive after it is done.

I'm sure you all know this, but I correct people who pronounce Appalachia wrong.

Most people think Miami is some huge state school. We're neither. That would be be UF and FSU (our 2 biggest rivals).

U fan here!

Is Appalachian State wearing all white against the U Saturday? Just curious.
