Sounds like something another team would makeup because they are jealous. Perhaps it wasn't even an App St fan that made this up.

A girl posted this big deal on Facebook. I read comments, apparently she talked to their AD, he told her he'd pass the info to Blake James, and to expect a call tomorrow. I've watched several videos from all angles and I haven't seen it yet.

I commented and asked what yard line they were on, and someone asked me why it matters where they were because it happened and Miami needs to be punished (and said why would she lie about something like this) that made me lol then blocked me. I guess you probably have to know what yard line they were on to see it for evidence.
 
Hopefully they'll never get another team to accept a home game in their ****** stadium again.

Take your L and go the **** home. Accusing players of some bull**** cause you deluded yourself into thinking you were going to win is bull**** of the highest order.

What kind of community college blocks the visiting team entrance with color guards?

They need to go back to FCS

Total BS

Laughed my *** clean off at this man. Exactly my thoughts. Amatuer at a minimum and outright BS like ghost2 said otherwise.

delusional *** ***ing fan base, to think I used to root for your guys

Lol, how did all this happen that fast? People got raped by our team as we ran on to the field? If they got in the way and a few people got knocked over as ran out on the to the field, too bad. Groping and assauliting and cat calls? Lol. We have tons of coaches and support staff all around the players. How did all this happen and no one has evidence?

Sounds like something out of a Walking Dead Spoof. Bunch of Zombified rapists crashing a football game. Oh man.


Besides, the actual game went a little closer to this than anything that happened to the Color Guard:

On the birches Facebook page her and her crones have contacted most of the higher ups in each AD and one was expecting a call today from Blake James and the APP AD...so there's that. She also said she was "authorized" to share Matt Porters twitter video on Facebook. It's all very strange

Sounds like a Professional Victim to me. Video showed nothing.

The part about "on a positive note I was on TV" ending their blurb smacks of insincere, incongruent bull**** spewed forth by someone with an agenda.
 
She said she was approved to share the video of Miami running threw there band. Not one of the allegations she made can you see in that video.
 
I didn't see anything. I did see their *** *** band crowding our sideline. There wasn't enough space to run thru

Racists (that probably vote Republican in this instance) often play liberal cards. Same people that scream about minorities and the welfare state as half of their family is on some form of medicaid or disability assistance.

Would rep if I could.

I hope this message I found from a band of distinction member finds its way to those in the athletic office. IF this happened, and I'm sure there were enough cameras to catch some of this mess, something needs to be said...

I'm certain Mark Richt would not put up with this...

"Today was a weird day. Appalachian played University of Miami in Boone this afternoon, and unfortunately it was a loss for the Mountaineers.
I want to start out by saying that I know that Color Guard isn't viewed highly of by the common individual, let alone most individuals. It's a thing that I enjoy doing, and I've grown a thick skin in regards to how it's viewed. I've learned not to care; however, I do care deeply about my fellow color guard section members, and will not tolerate being outwardly disrespected.
For the end of our marching band's pregame show today, the color guard was lined up in groups on the back sideline as well as 8 steps in front of the back sideline. Typically, the opposing football team will make an effort to run around us as we spin to our fight song, apologizing if they get in our way or make an effort to avoid us completely. Today, Miami's football team decided to blind side one of our members on the corner of the field. She was shoved by several very large, intentionally aggressive, football players. No apologies were made regarding this incident, and the member who was hit had severe pain and had to sit for most of the game. I turned around just as this was happening, and was immediately furious and upset. Leaving the field, I thought that this was the only incident that occurred. It turns out that several other members were groped, sworn at, taunted, and touched in ways that were definitely not asked for.
I will not tolerate events like this occurring. This is 2016, and I will not tolerate excessive cat calling, harassment, and violence towards others, especially without due cause. I will not sit back and allow this to happen because I am a woman or because "it's all in good fun". At its simplest form, it's assault, and I will not tolerate it.
I was told repeatedly today that Miami's team is notoriously scum, but that is no reason to sit back and let this happen. I can't even imagine how many other events similar to this one have occurred. I know the likelihood of this event gaining attention is very slim, because at the end of the day, we're "just the color guard". I want to call attention to the fact that this is unacceptable, but ultimately I'm unsure of the next steps to take. It's worth trying.
On a more positive note, I was on ESPN today because I decided to walk behind an interview and make a weird face.

Okay, full disclosure - I'm a band guy. My degree from UM is in music and I have worked with college marching bands throughout the country at Miami, Georgia, and now at Jacksonville State in Alabama. I know exactly what "color guard" is and I have spent most of my professional life protecting the interests of band geeks everywhere.

That said, beyond the possible initial shove by a player while taking the field, there is absolutely no way to quantify the allegations of "groping, swearing, taunting, and touching." If these are allegations toward the football team, there's no way in **** any band member should be anywhere within "groping distance" of a football player, even during pregame. If they are, that's on the director and to a lesser extent, the home team's AD or Associate AD who work the logistics of field placement out weeks in advance. EVERYTHING from 2 hours prior to kickoff until post-game is scripted in terms of where to be and where not to be - I know because I've written some of the scripts - so if there was a collision, somebody on App State's side screwed up. This isn't Cal-Stanford where the band hangs out wherever they want.

I will always be a "band guy" - they work harder for less recognition than anyone realizes. That said, this story reeks of revisionist sore loser-ship at best, and outright bull**** at worst.

End rant.

Another words, GTF out of the way, Miami is coming to town and we ain't playing anymore! I don't believe one word of that BS. Make sure you bring your big boy pants when you come to Miami, the beating will be worse now!
 
The Boone Chronicle reporting that all members of the App State Color Guard have requested grope kits.
 
If our AD is indeed contacted, here is how you handle this kind of thing:

Arkell v. Pressdram
"Messrs Jeffrey Benson and Michael Isaacs of Tracing Services Ltd, currently on bail on charges of conspiracy to create a public mischief, appear to have lost most of the work collecting debts and tracing absconders for the Granada group, to the considerable regret of Mr James Arkell, Granada's retail credit manager. Ever since last June, when Tracing Services got the contract, Mr Arkell has been receiving £20 every month from Tracing Services, but the payment now appears to have stopped."
On April 9th of 1971, much to the dismay of one James Arkell, the brief story quoted above was published in Private Eye, a British satirical news publication founded in 1961 which, thanks to its unflinching commitment to uncovering scandals, is no stranger to legal disputes. Indeed, a few weeks after this particular piece hit the shelves, a letter arrived from Arkell's solicitors which can be read below, as can an uncompromising reply from Private Eye which has since become famous in legal and publishing circles for reasons which will become clear.

Never ones to miss an opportunity, Private Eye published the exchange very quickly, and almost immediately Arkell withdrew his complaint. The magazine have since used the dispute as shorthand when responding to threats, e.g. "We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram."

Note: 'Pressdram Ltd' is Private Eye's publisher. Also, there was no "case" legally, despite the name by which the dispute is now known.

(Letter taken from the More Letters of Note book. For more info and to read reviews of that book, go here.)

29th April 1971

Dear Sir,

We act for Mr Arkell who is Retail Credit Manager of Granada TV Rental Ltd. His attention has been drawn to an article appearing in the issue of Private Eye dated 9th April 1971 on page 4. The statements made about Mr Arkell are entirely untrue and clearly highly defamatory. We are therefore instructed to require from you immediately your proposals for dealing with the matter.

Mr Arkell's first concern is that there should be a full retraction at the earliest possible date in Private Eye and he will also want his costs paid. His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.

Yours,

(Signed)

Goodman Derrick & Co.

------------------------------

Dear Sirs,

We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr. J. Arkell.

We note that Mr Arkell's attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: **** off.

Yours,

Private Eye

Alternatively, of course, we could as fans talk about the aggressive way in which the Color Guard tried to puh crck and heroin on our players as they took the field. Why would we lie about something like that?
