Maybe we’ll get some dudes to transfer from
Samford and Tulane
They (Samford) got a talented LB we have our eyes on.

I can still hear the thwump of the extra point hitting the hand of the Redbirds player and the pall that fell over KBS in our last playoff game.
Illinois State lost tonight because of a blocked PAT in overtime. It came back around.

Nothing official at the moment so I would be very glad to be wrong on this, but Keith Jones (DL coach) is expected to move to a new opportunity. A disappointing loss during a critical time.

Waiting until after Jan 16 would have been nice

Remember a one year coaching deal can mean you get more than a coach in the transaction.

Unfortunately for us, it is likely a situation of being offered significantly more money to be there ASAP.

How can this possibly be, little ole App State being able to hire a coach away from all mighty super well-funded JMU? I again reiterate that I am highly skeptical of their supposed resource advantage over us, in fact I doubt it actually exists in any meaningful way.

New head coach. Ole Miracle On The Mountain Billy making his own choices with coaching hires. Guy not retained.

I think Justin Harper is a “good ole Catawba County boy” that played at Bandys.

Billy’s became proficient at making mistakes in recent years. Let’s hope this is another one.

As someone else said, he was not going to be retained. If Billy wanted to keep him he could have.
