Re: Executive Order for College Sports
At least someone is attempting use common sense. Imagine someone told you if you wanted to switch jobs you would have to sit out a year first. Imagine a group of people who are about free market pushing a law that limits the abilities of the labor to earn more money. Imagine a group of people who b...

Re: FBS to be split- Now we know why schools paid heavy prices to move up
I didnt really think apathy had set on for me but then I had a huge wakeup call last Thursday night when I came home and found my wife watching the VCU-UNC game (she is a VCU alum). It was at that moment that I realized I didn't even know the basketball tournament had started. Yeah, it’s getting ha...

Re: Softball 2026
Love this team. Unfortunately, the pitching hasn’t held up in conference play. We really only play two pitchers, that is a big disadvantage in a three game series against a good team. It means that even if things go great, the opponent gets to see one of the pitchers twice. Our hitters are impressiv...

Re: Softball 2026
Great game until the bottom of 5th, very impressive effort. It appears these ladies are legit.
Penn State on Saturday, so another chance to get a big win.
Look forward to seeing them in person in the coming weeks!

Re: Softball 2026
Look forward to watching the Tennessee games, I followed Tennessee last year because Karlyn Pickens is a NC girl.
Hopefully, we can pull the upset, but Tennessee is serious good this year.
We played a great game last week against Carolina!
Should be a fun season!

Re: Portal time 25-26
I am retiring to Boone and cannot wait to see App. St. sports. It's the name on the front of the jersey for me.. not the name on the back .. It’s nice that you can see it that way. My problem is that the most of the kids wearing the jersey couldn’t care less about App State or any other of the mult...

Re: Portal time 25-26
I had far more fun watching high school this year, as well as the Panthers.
College football is no longer college football, it’s become comical.
A sad state of affairs for sure.
I was hoping to retire to Boone in the coming years and watch App State sports. I wouldn’t even consider it now.

Re: Watauga Pioneers
I’m a Freedom grad and fan, but hoping Watauga can get the state championship, they have an excellent team and they beat an excellent team versus Sun Valley. I was impressed with the way Sun Valley handled the cold, saw them versus Freedom, they’re a great team and play in a legit conference. I have...

Re: NBA G-League players going back to college
Yet another nail in the coffin.
I still believe before it’s all said and done, college athletes won’t even need to be students any longer.
Sad.

Re: Game day Operations
I try not to criticize these things too harshly because there are many hard working people behind the scenes. However, we desperately need a new sound system, it’s borderline embarrassing at this point. Seems like we could afford an upgrade if we can find the money for a new indoor facility. Hopeful...

Re: Swann starter
I expect that coach knows who’s going to start, he may be waiting to see if another player can change his mind, but I doubt that he doesn’t know at this point. Of course, there’s some strategy being utilized here by not naming a starter yet. Last I heard, Charlotte hasn’t named one either. Either wa...

Re: NIL and future of NCAACF
Feels more and more like this will be my last season caring about any of these so-called college athletics. I’ll just watch high school on Fridays and the Panthers on Sunday. At least in the NFL, every team has the same cap. Such a shame, and all because kids who got a free education were supposedly...
