It was not the most perfect of scenarios for the Mountaineers in their last football game at Paladin Stadium. The atmosphere was wretched, the skies gray and the only moment where things seemed like they were going well was when you pulled into the parking lot. As soon as the game started, it just felt all types of wrong. Furman’s first five plays were runs, as expected, and covered a quick forty eight yards. Two penalties, a short run, and a couple completed passes later, Furman lined up for a fifty yard field goal. The kick was good which gave Furman a lead in the game it would never relinquish. That is what it has come to this season. The field goal has haunted the Mountaineers this season, losing three times by that margin. Now, the field goals are back breaking scores that doom the attitude and passion of this young Mountaineer team. It doesn’t take much anymore for some to just go through the motions. There are plenty who still care, but they are blinded by the ones who are just ready for it to be over. We can’t blame them. Players and coaches alike decided to bring their futures to Boone to be a part of winning tradition, some just have not realized that they have to sacrifice everything thing for it. The fans who continue to show up are making sacrifices. They are committing to the product, and it is past time for the product to make the same investment in return.

Regardless of the score, we win because we don't have to go home to the Stink.

It will be a tight slow game, GaSouthern has a very slow offense.

If Mountaineers stop stupid mistakes & play with pride + Defense maintains recent improvements + Offense wakes up & gives support to #14's performance + KBS gets loud as hell on Black Saturday =

Young Mountaineers Rise & Represent Tradition - 28

Have to say that's the first time I've heard that one. Our defense on the other hand leaves a little something to be desired.

I've not seen any improvement in this team since Aug31st, seems they get progressively worse week after week.

App 10

The Stink 35

The coaching staff decides to "always attack" during the last 4 minutes of the game. Thus, a late 4th quarter TD makes it appear not as bad.

Hope I'm wrong, would love to eat some crow.

Coach Satterfield has lost his manhood, and there is NO waterboy to take up the slack. Coach Red Bo U has SS's playbook and will not relinquish it. Georgia Southern shows up with a big can of whoop ass and Captain Insaino wants no part of it. Air will be cool and dry, leather will be dry slick, and fumblitis will prevail.

We are better at RB...Cox over Ferguson!
We are better at QB...KB over an injured JLJ
We are better on Def....alllllll the way around
We can run the ball.
We now HAVE to look at other receivers #7, #83, #81 and TE's
Whether we want to admit it or not the "Offensive" play calling it better
Woody moving to box as DC has made for marked improvements.

IMO Those are all improvements
Go APPS!

However, at the end of the day, this team just doesn't know how to win. All those improvements tend to go by the way side after self inflected wounds (probably due to youth). Hopefully, the Apps will learn how to "get out of each others way", stop "tripping all over themselves", and get totally back on track.

Maybe this is the week that the Apps stop creating ways to lose and The Rock finds its mojo. Bring back Sean Connery and bring back a victory.

EAGLES 34

It will probably be much closer than this as always, but who knows? We've had a bye week and may get a couple of players back.
