Too early to talk about this. Let's actually win the SBC before we debate this. I fear we will jinx ourselves. I wish we could hold off on this type talk until there really appears to be a chance.
This may be the only thing I agree with you about. I, too, am superstitious. We're going to find out what sort of team we really have on Wed. night, October 9th. The La-La-Cajuns are for real and they have concrete reasons and plenty of time to be planning an ambush. We aren't liked down there...not even a little bit. And it starts at the top with Billy Napier--who after all these years still bleeds Furple-Purple!
Me, posting on a message board, has zero outcome on upcoming App State football games. I assure you.
And the fact still remains that the ONLY way we even sniff the NY6 game is to go unbeaten. I don’t consider myself in the delusional segment of our fan base. I 100% understand that we have 8 regular season games left, many of which will be tough. That being said if we were sitting 3-1 now this discussion would be mostly moot.ah59396 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 1:25 amMe, posting on a message board, has zero outcome on upcoming App State football games.

If I had that kind of power, I’d be riding around on a golden chariot being fanned and fed dates like a Roman senator.
I know many on here think because we are fans it is okay but worrying about things we can't control and jinxing ourselves is not fun to me. It is far better to take it one game at a time and let things decided on outsiders play out. Drink preaches one game at a time and having that culture extend outside the locker room to all of us would not be a bad thing. I hope nobody is overlooking any opponent because we could lose our next game or several others for sure.asu66 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 1:03 amThis may be the only thing I agree with you about.

Many on here were making excuses in preseason saying that 3 losses would not be a bad season but then have so many obsessed with being ranked. If anyone thinks we can lose 3 games and still be ranked they are mistaken. I am not sure finishing 12-2 after a bowl game would get us ranked. 13-1 would but only if our loss is to South Carolina. If we lose to Louisiana then we can forget a ranking unless we completely run the table after that and sneak in the final poll.
Napier is a great coach. We better improve on defense between now and then. They have a great offense and could put a loss on us. Should they? No. Could they? Definitely.
Probably right East but just in case I’m keeping my rabbits foot, four leaf clover, throwing salt over my shoulder and knocking on wood. The guys who worry to death about us who look ahead want to pull up these threads and tell us I told you so if things don’t work out.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 9:29 amJinxes aren’t real.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 8:41 amI know many on here think because we are fans it is okay but worrying about things we can't control and jinxing ourselves is not fun to me.

Karma is real and many others believe in jinxing. Ever say something can't happen and then it happens? I hear announcers say things such as bringing up a trend all the time and suddenly those things. That's why I like our 1-0 mentality. Forget last week and don't think about distractions.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 9:29 amJinxes aren’t real.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 8:41 amI know many on here think because we are fans it is okay but worrying about things we can't control and jinxing ourselves is not fun to me.

Maybe the constellation of the Winged Horse will be descending will Mars is in opposition to an ascending node of Uranus. If that happens I am sure we will be in the NY6. /sEastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 9:29 amJinxes aren’t real.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 8:41 amI know many on here think because we are fans it is okay but worrying about things we can't control and jinxing ourselves is not fun to me.
