ASU National Champs

BNG;
I saw this when you posted on rivals. I think it is a good assesment of our weaknesses and strengths. As you mentioned, we lost a lot all at once and I believe the remaining guys will step-up and I'm anxious to see how they do.

Good work!

Tell your daughter to remind them not to fumble game.... I mean ball, on our ten yard line with 6 seconds left.

Appalachian State University is hot hot hot
This video was not an official video released by ASU..This was a school project, not a video made by the university...Not that it matters but it is old seeing this pop up over and over..find something original

Unfortunately, it was posted on the official ASU site until 2-3 days after the Michigan game. It made it's way onto the 'net and it's toothpaste out of the tube at this point. ASU must have taken it down when they realized the traffic to the site generated by the UM game and didn't want to scare away prospective students.

If it was a student project, I hope they failed the class.

Thanks for posting, I had not seen that before.

I'm curious if there is a drink of choice on game day for the LSU fans. Something everyone drinks?

LSU running = One dimensional, low scoring game
ASU running and throwing = balanced offense and opportunity to score, sometimes quickly.
Opportunity to score = Good chance to win.

LSU fans, do beads only work during Mardi Gras or will they work the rest of the year too?

Whoaaa there Appfan;

You have to keep the hotels and restaraunts full year round so they don't go broke. Can't do that with a few home games a year and leafers. Also, you need staff year round, can't keep things going with student hires.

321 and 421 expansions are good but it is more than a local issue, roads and transportation (airports for instance) are a regional issue and the area around Boone and Blowing Rock does not have the regional infrastructure. Think parking here too at the local level.

The atheletic facilities still need major upgrades. If we're going to I-A we need more than a 22,000-24,000 seat stadium. You're going to have large I-A school alumni traveling with the team. Our school travels well at I-AA but nothing like I-A. LSU fans please help me here.

Alumni support. You can't make the jump without alumni support and that means $$. Conference shares will ebb and flow but you still have to be able to pay the bills year in and year out. Can't live on credit or projected future earnings.

I know everyone there is excited about our recent success but success comes and goes. Don't think Nike would have us in any of their commercials if we hadn't beat UM. Guess what happens when we stumble (and we will at some point) or when everyone forgets the UM game (which will be the first snap this year). Chancellor Peacock and the Board know all this and won't rush into anything.

I agree with you for now. Coach Moore has done a lot with the team and they have performed beyond our wildest expectations the last few years. If we made the jump now we'd just get lost in the crowd. Not sure there is an upside for us at this point even though many of our fans get excited about the prospect of being I-A.

Unfortunately I don't think the University is going to be big enough (read $$) to get into the ACC any time soon. I prefer the ACC just because of playing so many games in-state.
