Re: Portal time 25-26

First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to handle high altitudes and cardiac-inducing fourth quarters. To my family, thank you for your patience during the fall seasons, and for understanding why I am emotionally unavailable after a loss. To the concession staff at ...

Re: Portal time 25-26

Agents are going to agent. It earned him $500k. Sobering reality that fans making a fraction of the players are asked to fund it. There was a brief interview with Jay Williams (the former Duke Guard) last week. He said professional league agents (NBA) typically make a 4% commission. But, college ag...

Re: Portal time 25-26

Can we start two threads- one for complaining about the transfer portal and another for complaining about NIL? Then, for those who want to moan and complain about it can do it there. Meanwhile, the rest of us can just discuss which players are leaving and which a coming and how they’ll help the tea...

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Georgia Southern played with their starters and did not run all over Appalachian with our backups. Appalachian could have very easily won the game had the turnovers not happened where they did on the field. They were playing like our starters, turning the ball over at key times and in key places. I...

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Some of yall are crazy. How can you question a coach’s talent evaluation when you look at results? App played literally the same team twice, once with starters and once with mostly 3-4th string guys. The starters lost by 2, the backups lost by 19. Wilson and a couple other players showed some flash...

I wonder what the team on the field today would have done this year.
Probably would’ve lost a lot more games by a lot more points considering App lost by 19 points the second time and only 2 points the first time.

difficult to watch but no unexpected. Losing to the &$^%^ Gumroots twice this year is what really stings.
The positive is, beating App twice in one year probably keeps Clay Helton around for another couple years. Pretty sure what we saw today is the height of GA Southern under Clay Helton.

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Will be nearly impossible to pull out a W now but if the core group today comes back next season we may show some improvement along with some transfer in and a full squad. Not a good game to watch, truly backyard ball but hey we are all Champions of Life! Don’t forget the #1 ranked recruiting class...

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Shawn Clark (God rest his soul) would have produced a better result than DL. THIS year. Shawn Clark wouldn’t have had to rebuild, and App would’ve won maybe 2-3 more games. App admin rolled the dice that a new coach, after an adjustment period, could make App better. Think of it this way, if you we...

Re: Birmingham Bowl

I'll make a statement here, and feel free to disagree if you want. If I'm Helton, I'm not really happy with the caliber of play from my team. App's roster is gutted, yet they're hanging around and making this interesting. I said something similar after the first game. App is rebuilding, Southern is...

Re: Th. 12/18 6:30pm - MBB vs Coastal Carolina

Well, I posted some critical thoughts about Dustin Kerns on this board after the loss to UNC-A, and then they go on a 4 game win streak. So, I guess... #FireDustinKerns???
