Appalachian State vs. Montana Game Thread: Predictions, Tailgating and Roll Call

[asumike83]

The big game is two days away and I cannot wait any longer! I wanted to get a head count of who is going to be in Boone for the game, see where everyone is tailgating and get some predictions out there.

For reference, here is an ASU Tailgating Map:
http://www.goasu.com/downloads2/466001.jpg

I will be at the game, tailgating in spot 220 in Greenwood, Lot F on the map. Should be out there when the lots open at 11AM, so stop by and say hello if you can.

As for prediction, I am going with my Mountaineers by a 31-27 final. I did a full write-up (link (http://appstatecentral.com/content/mikes-preview-and-prediction-montana-grizzlies)) if you'd like to read it.


Look forward to seeing y'all at The Rock!

Nice post Mike. I don't make predictions on ASU games (superstitious I suppose).

We will be tailgating on the exposed portion of the third floor of the Rivers St. Deck (Lot H). We too plan to be there when the lot opens at 11:00. We don't have assigned spots, so you'll find us with a spread including a 25ft. tall flag pole with this flying: 16760

You also may catch us with this guy hanging out: 16761

Moore talked about how sharp the team looked at practice Monday, Saterfield is going to show some things he didn't against ECU. I'm bias but I get a great feeling that they are going to be ready for this game, and 25,000 screaming App fans doesn't hurt. Also remember, the last 2 big games at night, Woffard, Richmond, App played their best game of the year and blew them out. App 38 Montana 21

I wish I could have actually gone to watch this, but I'll be watching SFA hopefully take another FBS Scalp this week.

Good luck to both teams. I'm picking App 31-Montana 28.

[AppAlum2003]

At this point, I'm not sure where I'll end up. The wife and I are getting into Boone early that morning and we'll be bouncing from place to place.

Haven't heard from any of the Griz fans... where are you guys parking? Are a lot of you riding up from Greenville together?

[GlassOnion]

Weather.com has 60% chance of rain. Looks like most of it is expected in the afternoon. Of course this being Boone, its likely to be raining all over, but not in Boone.

Just give it a minute, it will change!

A little rain is fine by me, I just hope to not sit in a downpour for 3 hours. Although after the Greenville heat last weekend, it would be a welcome change.

After the Samford monsoon a few years ago, I'm ready for about any amount of rainfall.

I am literally still drying out from that experience.

[GlassOnion]

If its a move through type bunch of storms, with a few showers here and some sunshine we're fine, but if its one of those 100 foot cloud ceiling, drizzle all day, 50 ft visiblity type deals it will hurt attendance. Anything is better than ECU. I was so dehydrated last Saturday night I looked like The Mummy.

[Go Apps]

I will be there around parking spot 200ish by the Stadium with a big tailgate crowd - as for the game hoping for great weather a bit cool would be fine - but was liking our chances till we lost two more players to injuries - and Montana piled up the yards on what I think is a pretty decent team - I just don't know - if we can elimiate mistakes, no turnovers, fewer penalities and cover a kickoff then we have the edge - but that is asking a lot...my heart says one thing but my gut says Montana 28 ASU 27

[biggie]

Our group is always in the gravel lot at Rivers/Water.

Going with 20-16 App. The App injuries do have me worried on both sides of the ball.

[MasonJar]

I will be there with family in tow. Park in Rivers Street Deck, not sure about tailgating yet... but somewhere...

I have a feeling that if ASU's defense scores some points, the Mountaineers win! If not, the outcome will be a toss-up.

[AppStsGr8]

I'll be there with asucrutch23, asknoquarter21, their lovely brides, and whoever else joins the tailgating at #76 in the Stadium Lot. If you want to eat some good cow and talk a little football, come on by. It's the row closest to the stadium right across from the old field house.

[mad_dog97]

What's the story for tv coverage again? Would like to DVR if it's available.

[SpeedkingATL]

I'll be driving up by myself from ATL on Friday, hooking up with some other Apps, playing golf with a good buddy on Saturday morning and will be tailgating in the Rivers Deck by 3pm with Apps from ATL, Fort Mill, SC and other points unknown. I just couldn't allow myself to miss this one. I be sittin in a single seat a few rows above my group but will hopefully have 30K dear friends all around me.

Go Apps. This will be a close one just like the last 2 and hopefully the home team will prevail.

So I am guessing that tailgating will start as early as the lots open? Friday night may be a late one...needing to plan accordingly. Hoping to get breakfast and bloody marys..suggestions?...then ramping up from there.

Anywhere, anytime...Go Griz!

Got an email this morning that said lots would be open at 11 AM for tailgating. Not sure on the bloody marys but I will suggest Mountain House or Boone Bagelry for breakfast, but as has been mentioned in other threads, there's really a ton of good eateries in Boone. It's hard to go wrong. Enjoy your stay!

[Mountaineer]

For those that can't park on campus or wish to park a little further out, don't forget about the AppalCart.

[JMU2K_DukeDawg]

Definitely the game of the week in FCS football. All eyes on Boone this weekend. I would love to be there if I could!

Good luck to both teams. I have App St. ranked pretty low right now, so prove me wrong and beat the Griz!! :) We JMU fans want some more App St. games in Harrisonburg, and the only way for the foreseeable future will be the playoffs.

...then again, would love a shot at redemption for 2008 against the Griz. AHHHHhhhh I am so torn.

My guess is the Griz by a touchdown, but ANYTHING can happen in Boone.

It's been debated a million times on here, but due to the lack of a lot of flat land the architects had to built a multi-sport arena. Rumor is that there's a stream running beneath the field so digging down and filling in the track area with seats isn't feasible either. Over the years the university has purchased some land that allowed them to move lacrosse and soccer elsewhere, but that's probably a result of the last ten years or so of football revenues and alumni contributions that have made that possible.

I know the lack of land is an issue but he has a point. That thing is a damn eyesore. Personally, I could care less if they don't put seats there. Move it, put permanent seats in the north end zone and keep the east and west sides as-is. Fans wouldn't be right on the field like some places but it would look just fine. Put some turf down where the track currently is and you're all set.

Based on the little rendering, that appears to be the plan. I wonder why they couldn't use the State Farm lot for the track?

You're right, and count me among the fans that don't like it either but understand the need for it. State Farm would be a good choice, but didn't ASU buy the old Watauga HS? If so, I would imagine the could use some of their facilities and land for some sports fields closer to campus than State Farm.

Most of the students will be in the Raley lot (D on the map in the first post). Outside of that area, you shouldn't encounter too many rowdy students, although there will obviously be some scattered about. There are a couple of churches (Boone UMC and First Baptist) on King St. between College St. and Appalachian St. that have parking. It used to be by donation but it may have changed to the $5-$10 range. If you aren't there early enough for those, there are also some spots on Highway 321 near the intersection with Clement St. across from the Holmes Center and the Hardee's that usually have plenty of space. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the stadium but if you want to check out the campus, it takes you right through the heart of ASU.

If you aren't set on being too close to the stadium, there is plenty of parking as long as you don't mind the walk. Hopefully that helps, good luck!

[AppMan]

Most of us don't like the track any more than you do. Worst facility mistake the school ever made was putting that thing around the football field. Some of us old timers call it KBS not-a-football stadium. At one time it was home to four different sports, but at least we've got a dedicated soccer stadium now. All that's left to do is drop field hockey and build a new track facility somewhere. Then we can dig up the track and build new lower level seating and extend it down a bit. With those changes KBS could be one of the best stadiums in the nation regardless of classification. It is already one of the most picturesque.

Stream or no stream the field can be lowered. One of my good friends sells heavy machinery and he tells me water can be moved anywhere you want it. One of his favorite sayings is "that's what pipes are made for." They are also made to flatten land. Back when (then) Conrad Stadium was built ASU had an enrollment around 4,000 and school officials had no idea a 30,000+ seat stadium would be needed one day. A track facility was planned to be built in connection with the new baseball stadium and share common concession stands and restrooms, but lack of funds put a stop to it. BTW, when did we start a Lacross program?

[Borat]

It's a club-level sport, and has been around since at least the late 80s, I'd guess. I played for a short while in '94.

The big game is two days away and I cannot wait any longer! I wanted to get a head count of who is going to be in Boone for the game, see where everyone is tailgating and get some predictions out there.

For reference, here is an ASU Tailgating Map:
http://www.goasu.com/downloads2/466001.jpg

I will be at the game, tailgating in spot 220 in Greenwood, Lot F on the map. Should be out there when the lots open at 11AM, so stop by and say hello if you can.

As for prediction, I am going with my Mountaineers by a 31-27 final. I did a full write-up (link (http://appstatecentral.com/content/mikes-preview-and-prediction-montana-grizzlies)) if you'd like to read it.

I think I'm Rivers St deck this year so I think I'll be there. So pumped

[WataugaDave]

but didn't ASU buy the old Watauga HS?
Negative. Current talk is to turn it into a business park.

Honestly there's so much open land at State Farm it could easily work. Especially since so many students use the old softball field to play recreational softball xrolleyesx But I'm not really against the track, maybe it's high school nostalgia. It should be resurfaced and maybe given a nice black and gold theme.

Hope all the Montana fans coming down enjoy Boone. Please support local businesses, they'd love to have you.

And, oh God. That map. I understand that there has to be lots of gameday parking. But holy **** moving your car from on campus to State Farm and waiting for the bus with about 200 other students SUCKS.

[asumike83]

24 hours from now, I plan to be setting up my spot for the tailgate!

Just came from a tailgate thing happening in front of ****vette...I mean Trivette, Hall. Moved my car from the Greenwood Lot, so I just donated a little space for y'all to tailgate in. School Info e-mail recommending that students avoid trying to drive tomorrow has gone out. "Go ASU" signs are in front of businesses everywhere.

Had a great time meeting all of you. I had to bow out at midnight, I was exhausted. Looking forward to the game. Thanks to Mountaineer and T-Dog for hosting/chaperoning us.
