Are you guys going to continue to cover us after the move to the Sun Belt? You should pick up the Sun Belt and C-USA since both will have a southern footprint as much if not more than the ACC.

We have begun early discussions of how we will handle the switch, but I know that we plan on continuing our coverage of Appalachian State.

Picking between App and GaSo is a coin toss at this point. Once the season gets rolling, we might have a better feel. I'm a total homer, so my perspective is totally biased but I still believe App has the potential to have a very special season. Obvious variables are: 1) Will Satterfield be as great a HC as we all seem to believe, 2) How is our running game going to develop, and 3) Is Coach Woody's D going to gel immediately or will it take a while to develop?

I think the early indicators are favorable. Georgia Southern is always dangerous and Swope makes me nervous every time he touches the ball but I am hoping that Woody's presence will have our guys ready to defend the triple option the way it SHOULD be defended. For that same reason, I think the Citadel is dangerous but I think App gets some payback this year in Charleston. I don't see The Citadel repeating against either App or GaSo this year.
