re: Appy State FCS (1AA) Championship Ring...

No, not all of them were taken out due to injury. And certainly no one is implying that we hope AE gets hurt. As bad as we can be on this board, I don't think anyone would say that.

I'm looking forward to watching AE. I've seen some highlights and it will be nice to watch him in person. But don't be surprised if your coach pulls a healthy AE out for the 2nd string QB sometime in the 3rd quarter. No sense in risking the rest of the season.

App State held LSU to 24 at home in 05.

In 05 LSU

at No. 15 Arizona State W 35-31
No. 10 Tennessee L 30-27
at Mississippi State W 37-7
at Vanderbilt W 34-6
Mississippi W 40-7
vs No. 17 Miami (FL) W 40-3

Looking at these scores, any person with a 4th grade education could understand an see App State played you bette than you 1-A/SEC competition. Some of you people really crack me up. App State getting BLOWN AWAY, definitely wont happen. App will definitely give LSU more fits than you expect. This could be a trap game for LSU. LSU normally struggles with Dual-threat qbs anyway. LSU should win, but you people sound very similiar to those fans in Ann Arbor last year.

Ok, first of all that was 2005. There were many distractions that year. Also, the first 2 games were close and we needed to leave or starters in the whole game. We had 5 weeks to rest and prep for the Miami game. More than likely you were better than Vandy and both Miss teams that year. Also if you assume we took our starters out at the end of the 3rd quarter, which I assure you it was long before that, then we probably would have scored at least another TD if we had left them in. Does 31-0 make that game a blow out?

Oh did I forget to mention this game was 3 years ago and totally irrelevant to the upcoming game?

I am thinking ?

I am ready

In 2005 we were in south endzone
S3 Row H

Were you near us?

Will APP get the same seats? I heard they are going to spread us out around the stadium.

To clarify comments made up to this point on the thread regarding the d-line of LSU.

First off, you guys do have some beasts on the d-line, and you very well may be deep, but Appalachian runs a no-huddle offense, meaning your d-line will have to get up off their fat asses and get back to the line every single down with minimal substitutions. If we can string a couple of first downs together you are going to have some big boys sucking on oxygen on the sideline after we score.

Secondly, as previously stated in this thread, you can have 40000 of the best d-lineman in the country, but the truth of it is, only 4 of them play at a time, unless you wanna stick a few in instead of some DB's, which would be fine with us.

I think App is poised to give your team a better game than you are expecting. I do not think Appalachian will win, but I will root my arse off for them. If our offensive line shows up to play (which we have several boys with experience), then LSU could be in for a really tight game. The game will be decided by ASU's offensive line and how well our zone blocking scheme's are run against your d-line and linebackers. If they can protect for 5 or 6 consecutive plays on a drive, your front 4 won't be able to sub out because of the no-huddle and the advantage goes to App.

Your starters played into the 4th quarter......

31-0 isn't a blow out - but it's a whopping.

App's skill position starters exited the game PRIOR to LSU's starters early in the 4th quarter on word that Furman had lost their game, putting us in the driver's seat to have the outright conference title should we win out.

The game is not irrelevant because it gave a few of the seniors on this current team experience in playing in tiger stadium, and if they didn't play, they at least know the atmosphere. Same can be said for our coaches.

The visitors section is in the lower south endzone, the east corner. I am in the upper south endzone, about in the middle, maybe 7 rows up. So if I threw a cup of ice over it might land on you.

They also put visitors in the east upper deck. That's probably what you heard about being spread out. But it's not done to spread you out, it's so more of you can go to the game. We will only give up a quarter of the south endzone for visiting fans. The rest goes to our season ticket holders.

Appalachian agreed to getting more tickets to the game in exchange for having their fans dispersed throughout tiger stadium. My understanding of it is we were able to secure more tickets from LSU if chose to spread our fans out, thus allowing more of our faithful to attend the game. With the win at Michigan last year, App knew they needed as many tickets as they could possibly get for LSU this year.

On a side note, on page seven here, I will address the topic.....

The Division 1 football champions as recognized by the NCAA is.....drumroll please.........





Appalachian State!

LSU is the BCS champions......
