Former football player passing

I found out today that Coach Joe Eller of Gastonia passed away about 6 months ago. I met him at the golf course where I was working 3 years ago and found out that he was an alum and former football player under coach E. C. Duggins. He was one of the renown “Duggins’ Boys.” He was a real treat to tal...

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Coach Dlo acknowledged in his presser that he overlooked Wilson and was second guessing his decision on that. He even stated that he didn't give Wilson the help he needed and that he needed to change that. No one knows how someone will be at QB, or any position for that matter. All you can do is as...

Re: 20 Years Ago Tonight

It was quite a night. Seems like forever ago , or was it just yesterday…… I watched it at home and was jumping, screaming, clapping and generally embarrassing my family. I did not care, we won! I was so jacked that by the end of January 2006 I had already made hotel reservations in Chattanooga and ...

Re: Historical Excellent QB play

I just stumbled upon this little tidbit and it surprised me even though I have seen them all and knew what they did. I didn't realize this until I saw the stats, so I thought I would share. We have really been blessed to have excellent QB play continually since 1999 (relative to App State football ...

Re: It could be worse

Nevermind. Prosecutors charged Moore with felony third-degree home invasion and two misdemeanors: stalking in a domestic relationship and breaking and entering. Moore was released from jail after meeting the $25,000 bond. If the "victim" of the home invasion is the paramour who turned him in, proba...

3 games were lost by a field goal or less...1 by a TD and 2 pt conversion. - Had we not had all the injuries on the OL and RB we would have won at least 1 of thoses. - Injuries are not Loggians fault. - The offsides at taking away the TD yesterday isn't Loggains fault Go ahead and rip this appart.....

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I hope we have scouts in Cullowhee today. Both these teams look to have guys that could help us. Thinking about it , one could argue that Barnes and Flowers are two of our best and they were FCS last season. Players from FCS that actually played bring more to the team that FBS 2s and 3s that didn't...

Better receivers probably make it easier being quarterback. Dropped balls can make a quarterback and a team look pretty bad.
With an SEC caliber OL his last year at App he'd have put up some similar numbers here.

Re: Billy Napier Fired

Few people have said it was well as Paul Finebaum: “It was long overdue, he (Napier) was a complete failure as a coach.” Good ole Paul Finebaum. I’m happy that he has a platform to express his pent up rage from being the last kid picked for kickball. Finebaum, Stephen A. Smith, Beano Cook....all IM...

Don't live in Boone but it would be a shame if this happened.
Mountain Aire in West Jefferson is a super nice public layout that is also reasonably priced and close to Boone.
Yes it is. Very nice little course.

Re: Prayers for Coach Clark

I would suggest, if it's not already a choice, that there be an offensive lineman award given after the season. It should be named after Shawn Clark and given to the lineman who exhibits the type of player and person that Shawn was. Maybe there could be other criteria but this comes to mind at the m...

It is appalling and very disappointing that there was an inappropriate post in the first place. Some people just need swift kick in the arse.

Re: Game day Operations

Count me in as one who does not like the new “Welcome To The Rock.” I like the thinking outside of the box, and the attempt at fan engagement, but some things don’t need fixing. Leave it to Sean Connery, Jerry Moore, Luke Combs. Keep it simple. GO APPS!! Agree. Oddly enough, the only tradition rece...

Re: Game day Operations

Although I was unable to attend I watched on TV and I have come to this conclusion. If we're making game day as student-friendly as possible and making the experience as much about the students as possible then do away with the canned music altogether, except when the Band of Distinction is in trans...

Hadn’t been to a Yosef Tour stop in 3 or 4 years, great showing tonight in CLT and they have stepped up there game on the venue setup and food.

Well done staff!

Great to see so many old friends.
