Canes playing at Appalachian State next year.

[frank1886]

### We hear UM football is close to finalizing a deal to play at Appalachian State (Boone, N.C.) next season, with the teams playing a game at Sun Life in a future year. Appalachian State, a member of the Sun Belt Conference, is 7-1, with its only loss to Clemson. UM’s other 2016 non-conference games: Florida A&M, FAU and at Notre Dame.

Embarrassing.

Didn't these guys beat a big school recently?

 

[wacane]

Ridiculous that we have to go there first

 

[3FW]

No way we go to Boone.

 

[TerragonSix]

Not too many years ago they upset a Top 25 team by the name of Michigan.

Yes, Michigan. And Appalachian state is a Division II school.

Worst Athletic Department in America.

We are going to a FCS school? LMAO This has to be a joke.

Edit: Just realized App State moved up to the Sun Belt but this is still ridiculous. First playing at FAU and now this.

Won't be a cake walk.

They're not an FCS school anymore.

 

[Notsince1985]

Not defending it all, we should not be going there, but App State is not I-AA or FCS. They're FBS, in the Sun Belt. They're going to win the Sun Belt this year, or at least they should (they're 7-1, 4-0 with their only loss 41-10 at Clemson). All of that said, we shouldn't go there. We should never go there. Their stadium seats 26,000. This is embarrassing on so many levels.

I think it was Michigan

They aren't a Div II school anymore. They are now in the Sun Belt and they are 7-1 with their only loss being to Clemson. Still not sure it's a great move though. Seems like one of those deals where nobody is impressed if you win but if you lose all **** breaks loose.

 

[dycane]

Anyone, anytime.

Exactly. If you're going to do this nonsense then at least do it in a hotbed recruiting state too. Go play a North Texas or a Tulane or a San Diego State or some ****. I seriously think Flake forgets he's not scheduling college hockey for Maine sometimes.

So after this game is when the fire (insert coach name) banner begin

 

[JgDaCane]

Idk if people realize theres a huge difference between 1aa & D-2...totally & completely different.

 

[User-4525]

Why is our AD scared to schedule UCF for a home-home? Much better than one with App state.

Yeah, after the 1-A and 1-AA went away, a lot of people can't figure out D-1 Football Bowl Subdivision/Football Championship Subdivision (which is now even a misnomer, since FBS now has a Championship game!).

FIT is the only Florida DII school folks...

 

[da truth]

They are good but why the fk are we going there? Schedule uconn or Maryland or Rutgers type teams. Respectable teams that you can do home and away with

Fun little road trip for me.
