Re: A sad day for the MMB

I went to middle/high school with Chuck’s son. I saw him several years ago and asked him how his dad was doing and mentioned enjoying his posts on the MMB, his son said “he’s always on there, he loves that site”. Chuck truly loved Appalachian, and never wanted anything more than for App to be the be...

Based on what I'm see from offers so far this will be another rebuilding year and we will be hoping for 6-6.
Every year will be like this, no matter what kind of season we have. If we go 10-2, half the starters will be poached. Might as well get used to it

Very unfortunate situation. One, because of the inappropriate relationship and two, because Biff is now running the show. Yikes.
Didn’t Biff coach them when Harbaugh got sick one time? (Or maybe when he left for the NFL). Either way, no matter what the spread is, take Texas!

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Integrity of the game? Because actions should have consequences? Acting like a petulant child shouldn't be rewarded. Actually a bunch of schools turned down bowl bids. I don't understand why it should be a requirement. It is kind of a requirement for SBC because we begged ESPN to create bowls for u...

Re: Birmingham Bowl

Reddit is trying to push to make it the highest viewed bowl game outside of the playoff games. I hope it happens, and I hope we lay a whopping the likes the world has never seen in the eagles. Neither is very likely, but I’m planning to go to the mall and sit in Santa’s lap tonight to ask for his as...

Re: Could ACC be snubbed and SBC get in CFP?

I hope JMU gets in and wins a game or two. Upheaval is why March Madness is as popular as it is, you need upsets to build the case to include the long shots. I’m sure a lot of people will hate that because JMU bad, but excluding them negatively impacts all G5 in the future. If the networks were smar...

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!

How many seats will be included in the east side expansion and how much does it cost? Assuming it's $80M (up from the $50M three years ago before construction costs skyrocketed) and 3k seats at $1,500 each, that's a 18 year payback. That doesn't pencil out. If we receive large donations for a porti...

K&W Cafeteria Closing

K&W Cafeteria has long been discussed on the MMB, I saw today that all locations will be closing as of today. I haven’t been to one in probably 30 years, but I remember my father and his family would eat at the one in Winston any chance they got.
