Given our school's roots, we should be a hell of a lot more humble.

I'm cautiously optimistic but won't be convinced it's a done deal until I hear it in a press conference. Whenever that moment comes, I hope all our fellow Apps handle it with class. I fully support a move but we have had some very memorable times in the SoCon.

One thing we can count on is that Appalachian State always handles things with class.

True that, I don't believe we will ever be able to live that one down. So, we might as well go with the flow.

Was told earlier that SBC is in no position to hand out any invites to future members at this time, but may do so in next 60 to 90 days.
