Now its official, App football season is here. This thread always gives me chills because I know the game is just around the corner. Great write up as always. No prediction for me as always but I am sure glad that long off season is over. I expect us to play hard and never give up, when we do that good things happen. Go Apps!

I dreamed the other night that we won by 1! So I have to go with the score in my dreams:

ASU 20
ECU 19

Let's hope dreams do come true!

See you there on Saturday!!

I don't make predictions, but I want to chime in and thank Big C for his write up. Good work as always, Chuck!

Thanks BigC for continuing this tradition.
Feeling that we are going to go through growing pains this week, I don't feel it. I also think if the temperature would be 5-7 degrees hotter, under a cloudless sky, I would place my bets that the conditioning of our players would come into play. Otherwise, I'm going with...


ECU - 31
ASU - 24

Nice writeup as always. Unfortunately, I don't think a W is in the cards (though I'd love to be proven wrong). That said, as The First Pick pointed out, our performance vs FBS squads has been very poor the last few years. As long as we keep it respectable I'll be happy.

Back in Black 20

I hope, I hope, I hope.......... Dear Lord, just let us win this game and I will leave the Yosef Club name alone for 5 years.

Late fieldgoal by one of our upper classman will take this game home to Boone....

ASU - 30
ECU - 27

Almost three years ago, when Appalachian and East Carolina kicked off the 2009 season, much hype surrounded the game. Appalachian was one year removed from a historical three year run of national championships and the most decorated player to wear the black and gold was coming back for his senior season. East Carolina had just finished its best year under Skip Holtz, going 9-5 in 2008 and had won Conference USA’s Eastern Division. It had been thirty years since the last time the in-state foes had played. East Carolina was favored again to win Conference USA in 2009 and Appalachian was poised for their final season with Armanti Edwards. However, a decision to mow the lawn in sandals left Appalachian without their star player and for much hope of pulling off a victory. The Pirates raced to a big halftime advantage and looked to cruise to a lopsided victory. Travaris Cadet and the Mountaineers staged a furious comeback in the second half, but fell short by five points. Something else happened that day beyond what occurred on the field. The eyes of those with power witnessed something that day that is still somewhat in the works. East Carolina was amazed by the Mountaineers that showed up the day, on the field and in the stands. Appalachian sold out its allotment of tickets to alumni and students and travelled to Greenville in full force. It was later revealed that Appalachian bought more tickets than any other travelling Conference USA opponent for East Carolina that season. The landscape of college football was slowly evolving with realignments in the not so distant future. East Carolina became in interested in Appalachian and vice versa. To this day, Appalachian is still looking for the right moment to leave FCS football and East Carolina is still trying to convince the schools in their conference that Appalachian belongs in the world of FBS football. In the years since their last meeting, much has changed at both schools. Skip Holtz left for South Florida and the Pirates have struggled under Ruffin McNeill the past two seasons. Replacing Edwards and assistant coaches who slowly migrated to better situations has also been tougher than expected for Appalachian. An 8-4 season used to be the old Jerry Moore status quo from the late 90’s and early 2000’s, but that is no longer acceptable on the mountain. For Appalachian, enter an era of change that is basically the same. Our beloved former walk-on quarterback and offensive guru Scott Satterfield has returned with his up tempo offense that brought Appalachian their many accomplishments from the last decade. A group of players who did not know how to behave and some assistant coaches who surely did not help matters have also moved on. The question remains whether a different culture and a new attitude will benefit the Mountaineers as the season progresses, but we can all agree that figuring it out along the way will be plenty of fun

Not only is your information good, but your writing is skillful and represents ASU well.

Anding transferred in as a blocking TE. How often do we expect SS to leave Bailey or Anding in to help the OL against ECU's experienced front 7?
