Thats like crowning the fastest ******.
It's a state school. Put a little money into recruiting and the weight room, get a little lucky. Win the conference a few times, and Voila! You're Boise State!
They'd just have to beat a D-1 school in a New Year's Day Bowl game.
Unfortunatley, with their luck, they'll catch Alabama in an off year and catch Darth when he's ****ed off.
The problem is they are in the south, and a lot of big time football, even from schools like Duke, is played in the south. Boise was able to pick those west coast recruits that turned out to be 4 star level talent because nobody wanted to go to San Diego State or Fresno once Boise got a little success. I'm not sure those recruits will want to go to App. State, even if it makes some bowl games, because of Kentucky and NC State and Duke and company. Unless their coach is just a really good salesman.
The program is different from those schools in that it really is a family atmosphere. The facilities are top notch, maybe slightly smaller, but they fit a niche. People who go to App have to accept that it isn't going to be like living in a city however it isn't necessarily cut off from the rest of the world as most Miami fans seem to think.
Also, most of App's starters are actually from Georgia. A lot of recruiting is done against the South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Alabama schools.
