Re: Clark gets a statue at Moore Plaza.
Money for it was raised on Thursday night at the auction for football. It’s not a statue but a pillar in Jerry Moore Plaza. Nice tribute to one of our own. I really like this idea. A special way to honor Clark that's something different than a statue or retired jersey, neither of which felt quite r...

Re: 2026 Team Previews
As a society we have spent the last 20 years plus demonizing higher education as a waste of time and money, that has consequences. People can't on one hand say "this is worthless" and then in the other hand proclaim it as something to be treasured. Maybe for those in the non-revenue generating spor...

Re: 2026 Team Previews
We don't need to be paying buyouts. If it is so bad that he has to go this year then Gillin should be gone as well. I really hope they don't rush and fire Loggains in 2026 unless they have cause. I would say a losing record against peer schools is sufficient cause to fire him. If he can't get this ...

Re: G6 Playoff
GP playoff and bowls outside of CFP are just for partying. A lot of players are opting out of bowls and some even CFP games because they view it in their own personal interest. That make bowls merely a pride thing and an opportunity to go party. Let's just call them what they are. There is nothing ...

Re: G6 Playoff
I kind of compare my view of App football in the same way as Panthers football. My expectations for both are to win the NC and the Super Bowl. My realistic view is that either final game is generally unlikely. If that doesn’t happen I want both/either team to make a playoff. If that doesn’t occur t...

Re: G6 Playoff
So the proposal is for a G6 playoff... that doesn't even include the best G6 team. So no one could credibly call the winner the G6 national champion, if there were such a thing. Real worst-of-both-worlds solution. I agree that "G6 runner up" would be an odd tournament and title. But if you look bac...

Re: G6 Playoff
I wish someone with some $en$e would see the money in an NIT football tournament and keep the g6 CFP spot and create an NIT for the conference champions who did not make the tournament with some invited teams to create a 16 team playoff. Make it part of the CFP contract that TEAMS FROM THE P4 MUST ...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
For everyone’s sake, yes I do believe we should win 8 games. There are some who are unhappy and are looking for a reason to push for another change. I don’t agree with that so soon, but I can’t ignore it. I am with you on not pushing for change too early. He definitely needs 3 years unless we don't...

This is the second time I've read that doing this would "stick it to UNC," and I don't really follow the logic.

Re: Charlotte Hornets fans
It's been fun to actually care about them again. I was in Charlotte last weekend and got to catch their game against Portland. Certainly a team no one is going to want to face in the playoffs if they can get in. For the first time in forever, it feels like they're building something and not just hop...

Re: Joey's quest for the bag
I'm old enough to remember when an athlete "chasing the bag" meant he was trying to go pro instead of trying NOT to go pro at all costs.

MAC/Sunbelt challenge.....I would change the way the are picking opponents. I think 2nd place in Sunbelt should play 2nd place in MAC. (This time of year) Chance to increase your NET like that. Akron, current 54 net ranking, at the Holmes Center would probably draw a pretty big crowd this weekend. ...
