Just a fun little thing here.
My wife and I are In Nashville this weekend and yesterday I was sporting some App gear as we were out at the honkytonks. I had a couple of shout outs from fellow Mountaineers which is always fun. However, in Morgan Wallen's new bar, This Bar, an older guy came up and said "Hey App State," I turned and he laughed and said "we still hate you guys." I laughed and said "you're gonna have to be more specific, who's your team?" He said Michigan! I replied, "that was a long time ago" we fist-bumped and he started walking away shouting "it still hurts" "it still hurts!"

Also, for what it's worth, Eric Church's new place, Chiefs (which is pretty cool actually), has App stickers on pretty much each landing of his 5-story place. He also has Tar Heel stickers though, and Caldwell County along with the state of North Carolina type stuff. I can't figure out how to post the picture here.

Were the Tar Heel stickers placed on top of the App State stickers?

Music City App here. Glad you had a good visit to Nashville. I am sure Luke Combs new bar will have some App paraphernalia as well.
App has recruiting several players from middle TN. Tabscott, Cole Becker and Luke Smith. Becker is still on team as backup linebacker. Hope to see more recruits from TN choosing Appalachian State in the future.

Actually, I tell people that you cannot be born in the state of North Carolina until you decide which North Carolina ACC team you plan to pull for during your life. Most people become App fans because they went to or have relatives that attended App. Many, not all, are really upset that they did not get to attend the school they pulled for their entire life and went to App instead. It does make you feel good to know that App is relevant in what seems to be most important to the nation which is College Football more so than any other college sport.

The biggest thing that sets Appalachian apart is the loyalty App grads have for their school, because if you do not like it you leave, however some leave due to life circumstances, but those people are usually very loyal to their time at Appalachian. It takes a special kind of person to be an Appalachian Mountaineer. That is why Yosef is the Student Body and Alumni.

I first pulled for UNC as a little kid, Dean Smith was the coach and Phil Ford was the point guard.

Later on around the 6th grade, I went to see a Wake Forest football game versus Auburn, Jay Venuto was the Wake QB and I became a Wake fan going forward.

Couldn’t afford Wake tuition, so I went to App, it was a blessing in disguise, been a Mountaineer ever since!

Go App!
