Prepare you gheyness for some Cox

App ROLLS

Miami has been irrelevant for at least 16 years and I expect this game to put them right back in to the perennial let down conversation right along with UT.

Wait, App State has won one game in their history, yet UM has been irrelevant?

Oh really? Two losing seasons in 25 years of football is one win? You don't get to a level of national or regional respect that App has without having a history of winning regardless of division. Winning breeds winning, and that stands true for the move up.

I live in the middle of ACC country, Miami is an after thought.

See y'alls irrelevant azzes in Boone.

What level of respect?

Like being ranked? They aren't that..
Being favored? They aren't that..

Vegas gave a short spread after the Tennessee game because they are brilliant and realized idiots like you would take app state. Miami is gonna crush them and beat the spread and Vegas is gonna make a ton


You guys have never even had a power 5 school visit and you are only having one visit because our schedule fell through... Not because of respect. You haven't beaten anyone with a pulse since 2007 Oh and BTW this is a different app state team..you guys don't stand a chance give it up

So if Vegas set the short spread based on perception, why hasn't it moved since Miami is getting around 80% of the bets? Oh yeah...because Vegas has their money and fully expects App State to cover the spread, thus Vegas wins.

Also, it doesn't matter how or why the game was scheduled. Due to the fact that App State's AD is a former Marketing Coordinator or some variation of that for Mizzou, he is able to sell the program and the series. This App State team, as a whole, is better than the 2007 team that beat Michigan. The only real disparity is QB play and Armanti Edwards was the first CFB QB regardless of division to throw for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 yards in a career.

In regards to Miami being the first P5 school to visit (P5 is a bull**** division created by ESPN to drive their cash cow further while stomping out the programs who more or less cost more to broadcast than they bring in) you have to start somewhere. Don't let the P5 v. G5 fool you. The talent gap is actually closing while the monetary gap (due to TV contracts and the playoff set-up) is widening. It isn't a coincidence that G5 and FCS victories over P5 schools has remained constant while the dollars continue to flow to schools who traditionally are seen as more powerful, though that power resides purely in marketability.

Miami fans (not necessarily the team) are going to be in for a rude awakening this Saturday and you'll learn that your bulldog attitude can't match up to your puppy dog ***.

Feisty little things, aren't yu'all.

I said in the offseason that this game would tell us a lot about this staff. 90% sure you mocked that idea saying app sucked

This is a game that FHEG 100% loses.

They shouldn't be on the same field as us from a talent standpoint. We should rub them out. Nothing's changed.

But if Rick blows this game, then he'll blow all the goodwill and momentum. For that reason, it's a monster game. You can lose to a UNC or FSU or ND this season and still keep things rolling. Lose to an FCS team, with the fragile state this program is in and its fanbase is in, and you're in harm's way.

Exactly. That's why I think Richt's approach to this game is, in all likelihood, the exact opposite of what you saw from the clown show that Golden had before the Cinncinnati game last year.

I think that Richt understood this was a trap game.

Cincinnati actually recruits decent athletes. App Store isn't in their league from a recruiting standpoint. We need to let our athletes do what they do. Get in some dopey phone booth fight with these guys, and that's what they want.

Do whatever it takes to let your monster athletic advantage bear fruit for you. I think Diaz has that covered defensively. Rick needs to get his offensive athletes in space and let them win one on one battles. That doesn't mean throwing the ball every down, but it does mean not lining up primarily in an I-formation and trying to play in a phone booth.

I don't think we need to get greedy early on, either. RPO will constantly wear them down in the first half. We COULD put 28 points on the board in the first half if we play our first half with the run/tight end/option pass combination and just chew up time in the first half while taking time off the clock. Let Diaz and Kul do their thing: the Big Plays will come on Defense as App State starts doing stupid ****.

Hasn't Richt been working on a modified spread?

I disagree with that and I can almost bet that The Grim Richter does too

I hear ya, but I'm not interested in playing with the philosophy of chewing clock against a physically overmatched opponent.

UM needs to get back to being UM and walking into places and mopping motherfckers like this up. Go in there with some bravado and just fck them up with your massive athletic advantage. You have a Heisman caliber/1st round QB, a massive advantage at TE/WR/RB against the guys trying to stop them. Go out there and fck them up.

 

[section9]

BTW, one of the more noteworthy stories that was published in the Herald this week was Barry Jackson's piece about the change in player attitudes under Richt. Everything is more structured, but also more disciplined, and the players actually are doing more of what they trained to do in High School. And they love playing for this coaching staff.

I don't think most fans get how important that change is. We do, but most fans don't.

I'd be very disappointed to see us come out and start trying to go deep too often, let Kaaya get some confidence and rhythm, then open it up.
For years it seems every big road game we try to go deep in the first series then put the offense behind the sticks, go three and out and have no momentum.
I'd love to get the kick and runoff a 12 play drive of all runs down for a TD.

Nice to see this one finally get a little run. You're the 2nd guy I've seen use it today.

I have to agree with you in that regard. Kaaya NEEDS to establish his passing groove that he had in the second half of the FAU game and in parts last year, especially going into October. Would shut up the crowd.

That said, I think Richt likes the running game.

Our stadium's official seating capacity is listed at 23,150. That number includes reserved seating, student sections, and temporary bleachers that we use during football season only. What the capacity doesn't include is the general admission areas - grass hill in the south endzone and the northwest corner of the stadium. App has long had season attendance averages in excess of stated capacity because of the nature of our general admission sections. Our attendance record before this week was just over 31k.

Bottom line ... yes, it's a 23,150 stadium; yes, capacity is actually 34,638 (according to the state fire marshal).

I know there's one poster on here claiming to represent App. Please know that, while most App fans would at least expect to give UM a run for their money, most of us are not the kind of fan this youngster pretends to be.

Also, I wouldn't be too hyped on the idea of our having a blackout. Black is our main color. Most of us wear black to every game anyway. We don't have to worry about wearing black in 90* heat, so it's really no big deal. Don't feel like you're special in that regard. We generally wear black at home. Last week we wore all white at the request of the players. It looked pretty cool, but that's not the norm.

If you're traveling, be safe. I'll see you in Boone.

 

[QuattroCane]

Both guys from 247Sports picked Appy. I hope our team is paying attention.

Watch yourself old timer. This Ibis flock bites even the most well intentioned fingers.

I also haven't claimed to represent App fan's in general. Just come here to ruffle a few feathers while you constantly appear everywhere acting as someones favorite grandfather. The AH shucks persona wears thin after a while.

[kingraphael96]

It is nice to be THE GAME for someone again. I miss that and the hatred. So, let's go up there and beat the living crap out of them on national TV, running up score mercilessly and leave with the festering of hate again. I want to be so hated that people root for Bama against us. We did that to OU, now we need to do it to Bama -- steal the hate.

Yes this!!!!

I appreciate the effort from ericsaid. I'd buy him a beer if I could have made it to the game.

Guaranteed he's not old enough to drink a beer. Way too on edge to have drank one before too. He'd be better off if he'd ever had one.

Watauga County is know for their meth labs

Just google it if you don't believe me

Trust me, I know. I live right over the mountain in TN, basically the meth lab capital of the world

I think this whole game might very well hinge on weather molten is on the field.
