Maine @ ASU

[AppChicago]

Brownie's saying on the radio that we should put in DP to shake things up, offensively. Thoughts?

[boonedocks]

Maine has been better in every phase today. Have to get a stop here. I agree with Brownie, why not?

[Mountaineer#96]

At this point why not....."predictable" was thrown around on the radio too. You know you are when those two homers are saying it.

[asuboys]

Brownie's saying on the radio that we should put in DP to shake things up, offensively. Thoughts?

Agree. What do we have to lose at this point...

[mainejeff]

HOOD!!!

[AppChicago]

Jesus. TD Maine. Rough stuff.

[Mr. C]

David Hood rumbles for 54 yards and another Maine TD. It is looking bleak for ASU.

[Mr. C]

27-6 Maine with six minutes left in the third.

[boonedocks]

ouch...over. Good game Maine.

[mainejeff]

Maine 27 App State 6

[Mountaineer#96]

And the stands begin to empty

[AppChicago]

There's still ball left to play.

[Mattymc727]

Great game Maine. Very impressive

[Mr. C]

Cadet returns it to the ASU 44 on the KO

[R3TRO]

App State was just outmatched today. No doubt about that.

[Mountaineer#96]

There's still ball left to play.

Yeah and I will stay with it (because I'm a fan / alum), but you want to tell me this team showed up today and has it in themselves to get off the mat?

[AppChicago]

Yeah and I will stay with it (because I'm a fan / alum), but you want to tell me this team showed up today and has it in themselves to get off the mat?

All I'm saying is that the game's not over. The quarter's not even over.

[mainejeff]

Good grief.....

[asuboys]

...and Apps pitiful offensive line holds true again...

[asuboys]

Can anyone understand these NEC refs...?

[Old Cat Fan]

Way to go Maine, nice game good luck next round

[mainejeff]

Maine over thinking it now......come on just run the damn ball!

[mainejeff]

When Maine starts playing prevent and conservative.......that's when they get into trouble

[Mountaineer#96]

Well they better get into trouble quicky for our sake.

[OxSoxUNH05]

Just caught this score. Way to represent Northern New England

[Mr. C]

Jackson converts a fourth-down pass at the Maine 8 and a defensive holding call in the end zone will give ASU a first down at the four late in the third period.

[dwtime]

Wow that holding call was brutally bad.

[Mr. C]

Cadet on the wildcat to the one as the third period ends.

[Mr. C]

Wow that holding call was brutally bad.

It looked like pass interference.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Wow that holding call was brutally bad.

No kidding!!

[mainejeff]

Maine took on a different persona on their last offensive possession........now the whole team seems out of sorts a bit.......way too much time left to let down now!

[Mountaineer#96]

It's ok, just need three quick scores in 15:00....it could happen.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

It looked like pass interference.

Not on the replay.

[mainejeff]

It looked like pass interference.

But it wasn't.......just like it wasn't a fumble in the 1st half

[dwtime]

It looked like pass interference.

Really? seriously what part of his body was interfereing?

[Mr. C]

Cadet for the TD. Maine 27, ASU 12. PAT to come.

[dwtime]

Not on the replay.

Exactly.

[Mountaineer#96]

one down......

[Mr. C]

PAT is missed wide left after a Maine offsides penalty. The first kick was good, but the play was blown dead for some reason.

[mainejeff]

LOL.......

[dwtime]

Huge miss, on the XP might force them to go for 2 if they score again.

[Mountaineer#96]

they even spotted us 1.5 yards on that one

[Mountaineer#96]

Roosevelt Boone, he should have went to ASU.

[mainejeff]

Smith really tightening up.....come on Warren!

[Mr. C]

Three and out for Maine with 13:39 left in the fourth.

[mainejeff]

Maine totally out of sorts now......it's gonna be an interesting finish

[Mr. C]

15,201 attendance for today's game.

[ccd494]

Get back to your aggressive defense Maine, jeesh.

[Mr. C]

ASU on the move to the 41.

[Mr. C]

Long pass to Quick falls incomplete on first down.

[Milktruck74]

Quick has 14 yards rec and 15 yards in penaltys.....net -1

[Mr. C]

Quick tries to move to soon on a pass and drops a ball and then tosses it away and gets called for a ticky-tack unsportsmanlike penalty.

[mainejeff]

This game turning into a snail race........

[Mr. C]

Kendall James interception on a Jackson overthrow at the Maine 40.

[MR. CHICKEN]

TEMPER TEMPER...DERE...QUICKIE!

[MR. CHICKEN]

MAINE OINKY!...DUH BEARS!

[mainejeff]

Move those chains! :)

[mainejeff]

TD!!!!.....Brown!

[Mr. C]

Brown on a stretch play goes for a 31-yard TD with 9:30 remaining.

[Mr. C]

Maine 33, ASU 12.

[mainejeff]

Maine 34 App State 12

[AppChicago]

Wow. We really, really have given up. Mercy rule?

[TwoFeathers]

Is Maine that good?

[SeattleGriz]

Wow. We really, really have given up. Mercy rule?

Hate to say it, but you guys gave up last year against Villanova. Not trying to be dick, but App has really gotten soft the last couple of years.

[Mountaineer#96]

Is Maine that good?

No, ASU just wasn't that good this year and showed why.

[asuboys]

Is Maine that good?

We'll find out in Statesboro

[AppChicago]

Is Maine that good?

Who the hell knows. They've played very well today.

[AppChicago]

Hate to say it, but you guys gave up last year against Villanova. Not trying to be dick, but App has really gotten soft the last couple of years.

I think complacent is a better word.

[Mountaineer#96]

great game Maine, good luck with the Eagles next week.

[mainejeff]

This 2nd half has been painful.......

[dwtime]

Great job Maine, didn't expect this one.

[GSU1-A]

Does Maine have a great Quarterback? If so, will be another long game where my kids learn new words.. lol

[mainejeff]

Stop yourmwhining QUick!

[Mr. C]

With ASU on the seven, Jackson fumbles and Maine recovers at the Maine 29. Cole forced it and Coston recovered.

[Mr. C]

This game reminds me of the Florida A&M beat-down of ASU in 1999's first round.

[AppChicago]

I don't know why I can't turn this game off.

[mainejeff]

Maine doing all they can to extend this game.....GDammit

[Mountaineer#96]

ASU needs this to get back on track.

FBS should be an after thought at this point. We need some changes in the locker room, most importantly at the assistant coaches level. The days of getting lucky using former players on the cheap should be in the past.

[Mountaineer#96]

I don't know why I can't turn this game off.

B/c we have the knack of pulling it out at the end, but given the score it is getting out of reach.

[asknoquarter21]

Wonder what Scott Satterfield is thinking right now

[asuboys]

I agree with all of this. I don't think one off season spells the end of an FBS push. However, we have got to rebuild our coaching staff and toughen our team up. I've said for years that I was ready for some disappointment for the sake of clearing out some of the fairweather fans. I still feel that way. It still smarts, though.

[henfan]

Welcome to Crapsville, Apps. I'm buying this round.

Way to represent the CAA, UMaine. This week begins manbearpig hunting season.

[mainejeff]

LOL

[Mr. C]

Another pick by Maine off of Jackson with 4:21 left.

[mainejeff]

Maine has some great looking young players.........if we can get our QB situation settled next season........

[Mr. C]

Wonder what Scott Satterfield is thinking right now

Huh???

[Mr. C]

Maine looks like a refreshed team, more like the squad that played so well for two-thirds of this season. It will be an interesting matchup in Statesboro next week.

[asknoquarter21]

Huh???


We clearly haven't been the same team since he left. I like what Dale Jones is doing it just takes time.

Offensively we aren't improving. I don't have anything against Brad Glenn, Chris Moore, Trey Elder, and Jon Holt, but we obviously are lacking in offensive coaching.

[AppChicago]

Did the audio feed crap out for anyone else?

[mainejeff]

Great game for Maine.......I didn't expect a thorough beat down like that.

Has to be disappointing for App State......classy outfit and fans. Maine aspires to your level of achievement and support!

[asknoquarter21]

Two years in a row I am disgusted with our coaching and playcalling in the playoffs

[asknoquarter21]

Did the audio feed crap out for anyone else?

Yes, I really REALLY wanted to hear what Jerry Moore had to say.

[ASUG8]

Congrats Mainers...total beatdown at our house.

[AppChicago]

Great game for Maine.......I didn't expect a thorough beat down like that.

Thanks for the kind words, Jeff. My best to Maine. They stomped us.

[Mountaineer#96]

I mean you can't be on top forever, but I will say that the teams fielded the past couple of years just didn't have the toughness and determination that we would associate with ASU Football. Call it the blue collar metality or whatever you want to, but it just isn't there. We can't run between the tackles anymore, we make mistakes on special teams like we are getting paid to, and guys continue to get personal fouls and celebration penalties on plays that should be routine. The offensive fire is all but gone, drastically reduced by the play calling and the young offensive line and bad specialist play. If you add al these things up it means the assistant coaches are just not making it happen. Jerry Moore is a great coach, but at this point and it was this way in '05, '06, and '07 he is a figure head. Without fiery respectable assistants he can only influence so much. The young assistants we have now are just that. They have no reputation or experince to stand on, the players see them as peers and that leads to the inability to LEAD.

The fair weathers were dropping off the grid once we lost to Villanova last year.....they will continue to bleed off as we transition through some bad years.

[SeattleGriz]

Been saying it all year, the SoCon has no D.

weak, very weak.

[Blueandwhitefightfight]

I'm not trying to be a d*ck. What happened? I just saw the last two minutes and don't know. I'm sad that App. lost. I wanted them to win.

Is Maine just that good or did App. have a really off day? What should we expect from them in Statesboro next weekend?

[Mountaineer#96]

Expect a well coached and motivated team. They were not the most athletic, but had good size along both lines.

[Wildcat80]

No surprise to me....esp. after last year! Congrats Maine!

[Apphole]

I can believe I'm saying this, but it's time to respectfully usher Moore into retirement. We are an FBS ready program, but we still have the "good ol' boys" at the helm. Everything that happened today came down to terrible coaching. We had better athletes at every position and we were coached into the off season.

[ASUG8]

It's a bit of both really. It seemed like Maine had a force field set up on the 50 yard line for most of the first half with the 3 and outs by ASU. Maine just seemed to get yards that didn't appear to be available. They have a great run/pass balance that will keep the D on it's toes. App didn't look good, but that's no slight to the black bears. They pretty much shut down our running game (which has been suspect all season anyway) and forced the pass. It felt like they had 15 guys on D most of the game with the coverage of our receivers. Good luck GSU.

[Appalachian]

Pathetic! No excuses, our coaches lost this game. The worst play calling I have ever seen. I have never been so disgusted. We were in no way prepared

[veinup]

bummer apps. bummer.

[JMU2K_DukeDawg]

I agree with the above poster about Maine not being the most athletic, but they have heart and when I think of Maine this year I think, "Balance, Balance, Balance."

They will likely be as tough a defense as GSU will see in the playoffs this year. Discipline and hard work can take you far and this Maine team is a perfect example of that.

The Maine QB was thought by JMU's coach Mickey Matthews (for whatever that is worth - not much after a loss to them) as a hell of a player and as good as anyone in the CAA. I would agree having seen him in person. He is accurate, smart and a great field general.

Again, GSU will have superior athletes, but the score will not be 100+ over as it was this week vs. ODU. Maine was FAR better than ODU from what I saw. Offense not as good, but MUCH better defensively.

GO MAINE!! GO CAA!! xsmileyclapx

[mainejeff]

Pathetic! No excuses, our coaches lost this game. The worst play calling I have ever seen. I have never been so disgusted. We were in no way prepared

The coaches were on the field playing? Wow......thye were pretty quick for a bunch of old guys.

Well if Morre was outcoached by Cosgrove then that would be a first according to Maine Jeff.

[mainejeff]

Maine is pretty athletic where it counts.......secondary and WR.

Well I wouldn't start the get rid of Jerry threads just yet like 2004, but remember what happened in 2005 after all that started.........

[Cleets]

Well I owe Maine a HUGE apology
I expected App State to be well prepared and to roll...

[mainejeff]

Well if Morre was outcoached by Cosgrove then that would be a first according to Maine Jeff.

Hey, I've given Cosgrove all the credit in the world this season! Excuse me if I was getting tired of the stale offense and losing prior to this season...........

[Apphole]

Well if Morre was outcoached by Cosgrove then that would be a first according to Maine Jeff.

JM doesnt call the plays. Nor does he create unprecedented strife in the O-line. I'm not sure how much can be directly attributed to him, but his staff is piss poor and needs to go. I'm sick of it. This school has outgrown it's Mayberry coaching staff. If it doesn't fly in the freakin' FCS playoffs, it's not gonna cut it in varsity.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Am I reading this right? 3 yards rushing? Three?

App. State not only needs an OC, they've got to have a running back.

[Apphole]

Well I wouldn't start the get rid of Jerry threads just yet like 2004, but remember what happened in 2005 after all that started.........

JM wasn't 72 years old in 2005. I'm not saying fire the guy ASAP, but the status quo in the football department needs to change, or we will be a really bad team as the years go by.

[Mountaineer#96]

Am I reading this right? 3 yards rushing? Three?

App. State not only needs an OC, they've got to have a running back.

I would rest it more on the o-line.....not to say the RBs aren't attacking the LOS north and south like they should. The push and holes just are not there.

[Apphole]

Am I reading this right? 3 yards rushing? Three?

App. State not only needs an OC, they've got to have a running back.

It's the O-line, or lack there of. How the **** does Bob McLain have a job right now?

[Mountaineer#96]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Apphole again.

[Blueandwhitefightfight]

I think you guys should relax. You lost some key guys from last year and still put together a really good season. You are the ONLY team that has managed to slow us down this year. Not even Bama could pull that off. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has an off day.

[Mountaineer#96]

You maybe right, but I think most die hard ASU fans can read the writing on the wall at this point. To not make changes now would hurt us worse later.

Bull$#!t. We were outcoached but to say we had the better athletes at every position is laughable. We got hit in the mouth today and didn' have the nads to hit back! Was it the coaches who left 3 receivers wide open for td's and missed 5 tackles for a 40 yard td run?

[cbarrier90]

Am I reading this right? 3 yards rushing? Three?

App. State not only needs an OC, they've got to have a running back.

If GSU fans can see it, and ASU fans have been seeing it for the last three years, why hasn't it changed? xbangx

[blukeys]

Hey, I've given Cosgrove all the credit in the world this season! Excuse me if I was getting tired of the stale offense and losing prior to this season...........

Lighten up JM I was just pulling the leg of the App fans who want to blame Moore instead of giving credit to Maine. Sometines being facetious gets lost on people. Contratulations to ccred94, yourself, and many other Maine fans who have stuck with your team thru these years. I never thought Cosgrove was a bad coach so I am not shocked.

[Bearwitness]

Sounds like the almost-Canadian team that will be in Boone Saturday may be unstoppable. Guess we do not have much of a chance. Should we maybe play the game anyway? Guess we are contracturally liable. Just hope we do not lose by too much.

xthumbsupx

[Block-A]

Congratulations Maine. Your team played excellent today from start to finish.

Good luck the rest of the way.

[Horseshoe App]

Man, ASU needs to watch the way UNI is playing the spread offense against Wofford on ESPN3. That is how we played it when we were successful. We have lost focus of what the spread is suppose to be. We have to take a tough look in the mirror and get things fixed.

[asknoquarter21]

I have no problems with Jerry Moore at all. I think if he doesn't make a change with some of his assistant coaches then he could be hurting himself after next season.

We have scored points offensively this season two ways, either we get down early and have to be aggressive to catchup or we were just better athletically and the players made plays. What I have a problem with is we have lacked the ability to get the players in position to make plays.

It seems we call a play and stick with it before we know what is going to be available. You can't do that in a spread offense. Especially not running the ball. I don't think we have a good offensive line, but they look worse when we consistently ask them to do things we know they can't do.

This team will be fine going forward, but a change needs to be made. The spread offense we run isn't very complicated, but we are making it a lot harder than it should be. The whole idea is to get the ball in the hands of the playmakers in ways they can take advantage of mismatches. We haven't done that in a long time.

It amazes me how we could be so bad with a pair of dynamic backs like Miller(he still is on the team) and Cadet, and a great WR like Quick. That in itself should cost someone their job.

[ASU_Fanatic]

I wasn't at the game today, I was at a state championship football game which my school lost a heart breaker in so not a good day for me. We were the worst on offense this year I have ever seen since I really started getting into App St football. I do agree some type of change needs to be made, I don't think it's JM but we're not near the team we used to be.

[T-Dog]

Wasn't meant to be today. **** happens.

You're right. We're not the team we used to be. We used to lose to Western from time to time.

No one likes to lose, but I think it's time that our entitled fanbase got a reality check. No team always wins, and if this season was an abject failure, I'd hate to see you guys when we inevitably have a LEGITIMATELY BAD season.

[49RFootballNow]

Not surprised per se that App lost, but the score is a bit of a surprise.

[AppChicago]

I'm not going to take shots at you for being wet behind the ears. We were all there once. I'm glad you're a fan. Good for you. But if you want to really be a fan, learn to stick with a team through the lean times, because a bandwagon is a pretty lame place to spend your days.

Everything that happened today came down to terrible coaching. We had better athletes at every position and we were coached into the off season.
I could not agree more. If Coach Moore stays, we have to locate his succesor and make him offensive co-ordinator and the Head Coach in waiting and allow him to start assembling the type coaching staff we need to take us to the next level. That today my friends was painful to watch. We looked lost, no fire on the sidelines... simply pitiful.

[GlassOnion]

Congrats to Maine. Outcoached, outplayed, not much else to say there. Have a safe trip home, and good luck!

[Tubby Raymond]

Hey, I've given Cosgrove all the credit in the world this season! Excuse me if I was getting tired of the stale offense and losing prior to this season...........

Not much of a front runner are you. Probably broke both ankles jumping off that bandwagon in years past. What a hypocrite

[Tubby Raymond]

Maine took on a different persona on their last offensive possession........now the whole team seems out of sorts a bit.......way too much time left to let down now!

Here you are getting ready to jump again

But if you want to really be a fan, learn to stick with a team through the lean times, because a bandwagon is a pretty lame place to spend your days.Hey, do you know how many of my friends are fans of teams like Alabama and Florida?! I could easily be like that but my dad went to App and I've grown up and Boone and I love that team! I could easily just bandwagon a top tier team but I stick with a team lower on the food chain, I should get a little respect for that.

[SpeedkingATL]

Congrats to Maine. Hopefully App will fix some of the glaring issues of this year and be more playoff competitive next year. Still proud of the Apps and hope they grow a little from this one.

[kdinva]

hard to believe Richmond gave Maine a much better game, kicking the Bears' butts for 50 minutes.

[CenMEBlackBearFan]

Maine played great today,only weakness is the PAT's.
App fans were great. Had a blast tailgating with everyone in the stadium lot You guys were gracious in defeat. Only thing that would have been better was if ODU pulled the upset, don't see us making GSU trip.
Many more Maine fans in the stands than I would have thought.
Oh well, route 421 to Charlotte , had a fantastic time!!!

We GSU fans were laughed at and ridiculed for our multiple changes (even by ASU's biggest homer sports writer-Colson) but it has been a painful but well worth it trip, so far. We still aren't where we were but we seem to be moving in that direction.

Man you would think that App went 3-9 listening to some of their complaints on their forum....

[cbarrier90]

Man you would think that App went 3-9 listening to some of their complaints on their forum....

You would think that App went 3-9 watching the game yesterday.

As far as a possible "program re-evaluation," Appalachian State football used to keep its foot on the gas and beat teams by scores of 79-35 week in and week out. Ever since the loss of a true offensive coordinator in Scott Satterfield, the offensive philosophy is to play not to lose, rather than hit teams in the mouth and put the game out of reach in the first half.

A "rebuilding" excuse would have been acceptable had this team not beaten GSU. This team had a national championship caliber defense with offensive playcalling that did its best at times to make ASU's biggest weapons complete non-factors.

Congratulations to Maine, they were the better team yesterday, but on the ASU front, there's no excuse for getting blown out at home to end the season for a second straight year. Something HAS to change.

[SideLine Shooter]

Wasn't meant to be today. **** happens.

That just about covers it right there. Congrats to the Black Bears, and kick some bird butt next week.

I'll bet you would love to go 3-9.

I don't think so. We won our first championship when he was still in high school.

I don't think so. We won our first championship when he was still in high school.

This. Armanti may have been a HUGE factor, but he wasn't what made us great. We were great before him, amazing with him, and good without him. I think now we're mostly just complacent. Hubris is always dangerous.

[ASU_Fanatic]

I can barely read the MMB right now, we just had a solid 8-4 season and they are calling for Moore's head. If Western ever went 8-4 they would think they had just went to the super bowl!!!!

Good thing the AD didn't do what you would have had him do years ago:
FIRE COSGROVE.

Now you're all over being happy for your team. Seem contradictory to anyone else but me............................................xcra zyx

[Smitty]

I wouldn't be talking we still will beat you guys by a good 40+ next year

Meh that's fine. By the sounds of it you guys may be mediocre at best in the SoCon next year.

[asumike83]

First off, congratulations to Maine. They had a good game plan, were smothering defensively and took care of the ball on offense. ASU had a couple of major lapses on defense and the Black Bears turned them into huge, back-breaking scoring plays that put the game away. They were the more prepared team and took the fight to us from the first snap. Good game and best of luck the rest of the way.

As for ASU, I never have and still am not among the "Fire Jerry" group of App folks. However, if some changes are not made this offseason then he will get some deserving criticism. The whole "play-calling by committee" routine is a joke, it does a serious disservice to the good athletes we have. We need a dedicated offensive coordinator who calls all the plays each week and establishes an offensive identity for the team. If it means opening up the checkbook and/or cutting some dead weight on the coaching staff (looking at you, Chris Moore), then so be it. We have too much talent to be as predictable and passive on offense as we were this season. We have the returning talent to be great next season but if we come back with the exact same staff and the exact same approach, I will expect the exact same results.

I honestly do not think we need many changes on defense, it should be a strength for us going forward. They kept us in the game until halftime and then ran out of gas. We have to improve on offense and I truly hope this is addressed before we kick off 2012. Considering all that this team went through in the course of the year, it was not a terrible season by any stretch. Best of luck to everyone else, time for the Mountaineers to get back to work!

[ASU_Fanatic]

Meh that's fine. By the sounds of it you guys may be mediocre at best in the SoCon next year.We'll have another 8-3 or 9-2 season just because our defense will be so good....really though, it looks like we'll be staying in the SoCon for years to come and hopefully you guys can get good again to make the rivalry fun! Because when both teams are good it certainly is one of the most underrated rivalries in sports.

[Squealofthepig]

I can barely read the MMB right now, we just had a solid 8-4 season and they are calling for Moore's head. If Western ever went 8-4 they would think they had just went to the super bowl!!!!

I agree that the call for his head is ridiculous - it's like when Nebraska fired the guy behind Tom Osbourne when he dared to post a two-loss season. Most teams can only dream of having such steady, consistent success, and there will always be a few "down" years for any coach - call it the nature of football, when, some seasons, things just don't go your way.

[asumike83]

Meh that's fine. By the sounds of it you guys may be mediocre at best in the SoCon next year.

I don't think so. We should be in the top 3 again, with the potential to be even better if our coaching staff can improve as needed.

I'll take 8-4 in a rebuilding year.

You kidding? I would think it was the super bowl if we finished 6-6. Firing Jerry Moore would be a bad idea, however I would start to wonder who is going to take the helm when he finally does retire...

Losing 22 seniors will hurt but App seems to find ways.

[cbarrier90]

Losing 22 seniors will hurt but App seems to find ways.

22 seniors on the roster, but a majority of those are either strictly special teamers or rotational guys.

On defense, the only significant losses (and they are significant) are Wylie and Aiken at DT. Priority #1 in recruiting should be finding a DT that can come in and contribute immediately. I think the staff goes with the JuCo route here.

On offense, the major loss is Brian Quick at WR, who won't be replaced. Elsewhere, Cadet and Baker-Boney at RB: A guy who I don't believe ever reached his full potential at ASU, and an under-sized scat back who could never quite fully reach the top of the depth chart respectively. The only other losses come on the O-line with the departure of Ruff, Frye, and Holt, but with a year of "trial by fire" for a relatively inexperienced unit and perhaps a change in coaching philosophy, I expect that unit, and the team as a whole, to be better next season.

[SideLine Shooter]

[Apphole]

Bob McClain and Chris Moore need to go

[Bearwitness]

While I can sympathize with the frustration many of the App fans are feeling today, I think some of their anger is misdirected in the wrong direction. It's too easy to blame the loss on the coaching staff and not hold the players themselves accountable for what happened yesterday. One of your players, I thought summed it rather nicely when he said, "I guess they just wanted it more than we did". That should be considered unacceptable, not the play calling or game plan.

Now granted, that was the first time I had seen the Mountaineers play, but I didn't think they brought a lot of intensity to the game. It was as if they thought they could just show up and their talent would take over. I think they made the mistake of underestimating their opponent and paid the price for it.

I was looking forward to watching Brian Quick and thought he was a big disappointment. I know one game is not a good barometer, but he didn't show a whole lot of heart out there when the going got tough. He has the talent to be a game changer. I remember thinking during the game that he reminded me of a young Plaxico Burress and when he flipped the ball getting the unsportsmanlike penalty, it just reinforced it.

Jerry Moore said the same thing postgame that other coaches have said about this Maine team. They don't have the best athletes on the field, but they play "as a team" better than anyone else they've played. That was the difference yesterday and it is a credit to the upperclass leadership on the Black Bears.

This is basically the same Maine team that went 4-7 last year, underachieving in what most thought was going to be a CAA contending team. The seniors took it upon themselves to make sure this year's team did not suffer the same fate. The Mountaineers need some of the same type of leadership going forward to next year. Their talent will only take them so far.

First you beat us, then you come on here and make all these valid points? Not cool.

My only counterpoint would be that getting the team to bring that intensity and not be complacent falls, at least in part, on the coaching staff. You can only coach that so much and the players have to bring it themselves, but it is still a reflection on how they were prepared.

While I agree, it's easy to blame the coaching staff and not hold the players accountable for their lack of intensity, it was clear from the outset that everyone was completely unprepared. Who's responsible for getting the players prepared?

Brian Quick, whose specialty is being able to stretch the field with deep routes, was targeted on one of those routes ONCE all game. He caught the ball, but ended up catching it out of bounds. Who's responsible for calling plays to get Brian Quick involved and getting rid of the dink-and-dunk screens and runs when they aren't working?

Again, I agree that it's easy to not hold the players accountable, but this was the same limited playcalling that either cost App or nearly cost App in many games this season. Credit to Maine, but yesterday reinforced everything App fans already knew about this team, hence the frustration.

Agree on the leadership front. This is a young team that will grow together hopefully through games like this.

Oh look the same old boring argument about UNC from UNCc fan. I was around a huge group in the student section Saturday that cheered when they heard UNC lost. We then went back to cheering on our football team even though it got brutal.

It must really butt hurt you to not have anything to be proud of.

Funny story, I invited my buddy up from Charlotte for the game (a UNCc alum) but he had plans to watch UNC play earlier in the day and couldn't make it. xlolx

The only place I have seen people with UNC clothes jeered harder than KBS was at NCSU.

I love it when Concord fans try to say that we have too many Tar Holes up here. What a joke! Out of their multitude of graduates, maybe 5,000 in this world even half way keep up with UNCc sports. App might have a few Tar Holes in their midst, but I'd venture to say there are far more Cee grads that wear baby blue than hunter green. Hell they even have the same name. Call me when you get over 10k to any sporting event that community college has, ever.

You are a product of population density. You school offers nothing but dime-a-dozen diplomas to the single, working mothers of Charlotte. Get a ****ing clue and learn your place. If you were a real college, there would probably be a bar or two within walking distance. Your school has no soul, and therefore, will never be anything more than an afterthought to 99% of the graduates.

[SpeedkingATL]

This App team was flawed and over rated from the beginning. They played one GREAT game against GSU but came out flat many times with Furman, Elon and Maine all examples. Maine dominated our o-line completely which happened a lot this year and I think they had the best secondary App played this year. It was good to make the playoffs this year with all the issues App had and congrats to Maine for playing an inspired game. Should be an interesting game in Statesboro.

[WH49er]

Yes, Charlotte being 2 games away from a national title in Men's Soccer is nothing to be proud of.

Funny coming from a school who churns out a majority of liberal arts degrees. The world needs more psychology, dance studies, and recreation and park management majors. App. State does a great job of prepping their students to join the OWS crowd.

Congrats to Maine they were the better TEAM, outplayed and outcoached ASU.

Funny now that ASU is back to just be another playoff team our fans have a nice reputation. I hope the trip was safe on the way back.

To the other ASU fans on the thread, stop feeding the troll.

I agree with the above would like to throw John Holt under the bus.....he is the so called Special Teams coordinator.....they were anything but "special" this year. These young coordinators are more like friends to the players and have no business being coaches when they are seen partying with them on the weekends.

[AppMan]

Unimaginative offensive gameplans, lack of discipline, personal foul and unsportsman like penalties, poor special teams play, lack of emotion in the players, frustrated and angey fans leaving early and money disappearing from Yosef. Looks eerily similar to the years leading up to 2004. How ironic is it the start of the decline was highlighted by a loss to Maine in the playoffs.

Most 49er fans feel the same about App. State. despite the way we act on this board sometimes. It's just too easy getting under certain Mountaineer's skins :D

As far as game day experience, App. State is far better than every NC FBS school. I really hope our athletic department is using an idea or two from you guys.


That being said, beat Minnesota tonight and get another BCS scalp. Beat Davidson too, that fanbase is the smuggest bunch of d-bags you'll ever come across.

Thanks for the complements but I wouldn't go THAT far. I honestly think we're third behind NC State and East Carolina, just my opinion. You also to have to remember we only have room for half of what UNC, NCSU, and ECU can have at a game (we can max out at 31k, they all max out around 60k) so we're a bit at a disadvantage. AND THAT DANG TRACK, the atmosphere isn't quite as good because you're not right on the field like you are at most places.

[AppStsGr8]

Yosef is within 80 members of reaching the 3500 mark and has brought in more money in 2011 than in previous years. Yes, I do know this to be fact.

I think some purple clad freaks in the eastern half of this state might vigorously disagree with this assessment. That said, App is definately in the top 2 for gameday experience in the state, unless you really, really, REALLY like wine and imported cheese.

The two reasons why App. is better than ECU for me....the drive to Greenville sucks no matter where you are coming from and there is nothing like the crisp mountain air on a fall day.


Went to a game in Boulder a few years ago, definitely number one on my list so far.

ECU is automatically DQed because of the unspeakable things they do to perfectly good BBQ.

ECU and NCSU are basically the same when it comes to environment. Nothing terribly special about either, although their students try to consume their body weight in cheap beer every week.

[Accelerati Incredibilus]

Elaborate please. Is this just a generic statement?

I have a feeling is was a generic statement, but if what I heard coming from fans hitting the exits early materalizes what he said will take place. The natives were not happy and some long time donors I know personally indicated they would not continue pouring the same amount of money into that type of product. The anger was not directed at the players, but the ears of the coaching staff had to be on fire.

That may be true for 2011, we'll just have to see what happens in 2012. If changes are made in the football staff my guess is the numbers hold steady. If not ??????????????????????

My guess is that most longtime donors understand ups and downs in any program. I'd also be willing to bet that football isn't the only reason many folks donate to Yosef, though football certainly is the money sport. Plenty of the longtime, higher level donors make multi-year pledges. I'm sure some of the bandwagon folks will flee. I'll be calling folks in February about Yosef donations. If you get a call, please say "yes" to Yosef. There are many, many more athletes supported by Yosef than just those on the football team.

It was speculation on my part based on the conversations I had with some long standing donors following the game. Obviously Yosef dollars go for much more than football, but you are kidding yourself if you don't think it isn't responsible for 75% of the money raised. I've been a member since 1979 and one of those guys who makes multi year pledges, but times are tough and people are giving serious thought to their spending priorities. Also have to take into consideration ASU is in the middle of a $200 million fund raising campaign, of which $50 million is targeted for athletics, and the success or failure of the football program is a key ingredient to its success. Ken Peacock can not afford to let this football issue slow the progress. Good luck this spring with your efforts.
