Official GSU vs App st thread

[gsueagle2424]

Conference championship on the line for GSU. Hopefully we will have Swope back for this game. Time to GATA Eagles!

O ya CrApp st inhales vigorously xnodx

[theasushow]

I can smell Paulson already...

[GATA_Eagles]

Looks like it may get back into the 80s for this game! Gnats should be ferocious!

Yes, you're just smelling another Eagle victory! xthumbsupx

[asujch]

If JJ's injury today keeps him out next week we could be in for a LONG afternoon. Hallock was great in reserve today, but GSU's D is a bit better than western's

[seantaylor]

GSU was missing a bunch of players today, but Swope is such a big loss. And I imagine if Brown was healthy he would have switched to bback to get the start. I didn't see Antwione Williams out there either, but may have missed it with that garbage of a feed Chatty calls their own.

[Apphole]

**** the stink.

I'll be there. Apps win by 5

Swope will definitely be back, we held him out for a concussion. But as far as Robert is concerned, from what I've heard, he's been playing hurt for the entire year. We've been okay without him, I'd love to have Brown 100%, but I'm not sure if that will ever happen. Swope will definitely be 100% for the app game. and with regard to asujch's comment, what are you talking about? Clearly not our JJ! Hail Southern!

[Saint3333]

GSU by 21, your Dline will have 5 sacks easy.

[gseagle]

what happened to j jackson at wcu?

[Saint3333]

Hurt his knee status is unknown, but would be a risk to play behind our line against you guys.

[TheEagleWay]

Where's the confidence Appy?

Did something happen w/WCU game?

Not trolling, just seemed odd.

Unfortunately, our play against option teams this season has not given much reason for confidence. Now, we have to play the most talented option team of the bunch on the road, possibly without our starting quarterback.

I'm not sure that I believe we lose big because these games always seem to come down to the wire, but we've got our work cut out for us. In any event, I will be making my first trip to Paulson!

Safe travels and Welcome!

OUCH... on the QB issue!

If you're making the trip, AND YOU TOO APPHOLE, come by and hang for a few. Spot H-149: from the stadium looking back, 3 rows back and about 5 spots to the left.

[gseagle]

Hurt his knee status is unknown, but would be a risk to play behind our line against you guys.

hopefully its not as severe as marcus lattimore's injury. that was ugly in case anyone hasnt seen it!

[walliver]

GSU should win by 21-28 points, but Appy will put up a good game, and GSU will win by 3.

It's do or die for the Apps. A 7-4 ASU team with no marquee wins would only have an outside shot at an at-large bid (although you never know what will happen to other teams on rivalry weekend in three weeks).

[ITmonarch10]

GSU you should let ASU win. In this scenario, the Socon gets 3 teams in the playoffs and you guys can come to ODU for the playoffs. I think that sounds like a win win situation for everyone right GSU.xawesomex

[Eaglegus2]

Safe travels to the App State fans! How many will make the trip to the 'Boro? As always the game will be close and one play will make the difference between a loss or victory.

[SpeedkingATL]

It appears this situation would greatly favor GaSo but the last 2 years strange things have happened in this game. I expect App to put up their best game of the year...will that be enough?? Gotta hope GaSo uses the same kind of footballs Florida used against Georgia....real slippery ones that fumble easy!

[ASU_Fanatic]

I just don't like our chances here, especially on the road. If Jackson plays we're probably gonna get drilled, but he seemed confident on twitter last night he would be playing so that's big. If he plays it's gonna be a pretty tight game the entire way through but I still like GSU.

[Appattk]

Might as well call this one the Black and Blue Bowl... Both teams are so beat up it's going to be interesting to see who's starting!

[CID1990]

Touchdown Citadel!!

[cbarrier90]

Touchdown Citadel!!

Looks like you used all of them up when you came to Boone...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CID1990 again.

[gsu2583]

Burn...

[ASUG8]

Go away. xlolx

[biggie]

GSU should win by multiple scores unless App has a perfect game and GSU has 4+ turnovers.

[gsu2583]

When do you anticipate learning the QB status for this coming Saturday?

[T-Dog]

Jamal was cleared to return in the second half, but Hallack was playing well so we kept him in.

[asumike83]

When do you anticipate learning the QB status for this coming Saturday?

It is possible that JJ misses the game but I honestly doubt it. The doctors cleared him to return at halftime but since Hallock was 13-13 for 164 and we had a 17-point lead, the coaches elected to keep him on the sideline to avoid any further injury. Officially, he listed as day-to-day. I expect Jamal to suit up and I'm sure the GSU coaches do as well.

[gsueagle2424]

Should be a huge crowd on hand and will hopefully be a factor in the game. Safe travels to all App fans. I think the close call @ chatty will be a little wake up call for the Eagles. I hope we finally put together a full game together in all three aspects.

[Eagle11]

I've been waiting for this game all year. I'll be headed up to Statesboro bright and early Saturday morning.

[Histor3]

I am very, very excited for this game. I am also very, very nervous about this game.

App State needs this win to secure a spot for the playoffs. I would seriously consider this season a failure if we do not make the playoffs. Of course, as with any team, we need this re-building year. We are full of young players, that have real talent and potential.

Anyway, can't wait for this one. Glad it is showing on ESPN3/Watch ESPN, so the nation can watch this heavy-weight rivalry.

[ASU_Fanatic]

I wish I was going but I've got to take the SAT xthumbsdownx so I can be at App two years from now

[AppStsGr8]

I'll be driving down with asucrutch23 and his bride. It's my first trip to Statesboro. I honestly don't see how App can win with all the injuries and the number of freshmen and sophomores in our starting lineups. I also know that App generally seems to be ready for GaSo when the game finally arrives. Here's to another great game and no more injuries!

[gsu_paintballer]

I wish I was going but I've got to take the SAT xthumbsdownx so I can be at App two years from now

You, gentleman, need to get your mind right. Let me tell you a little story.

I, gsu_paintballer, entered GSU as a freshman in 2006. My undergraduate career consisted of one season of BVG and three with Hatcher. As you well know, not our finest years. Prior to entering GSU, I'd never been to a GSU game. In January of 2010, I began graduate school to graduate in December of 2010. On Sunday, November 21, I was going on a quick two-night trip with a couple friends to Biloxi. Just wanted to get out and have a little fun before I took the final part of the CPA exam on Saturday, November 27.

We followed along on our phones with playoff announcements, and got word that GSU had been selected as an at-large participant and would be in a play-in game.

I knew that I'd have to miss it due to the CPA exam. I couldn't let that happen. I'd never seen a GSU playoff game.

I called the company responsible for scheduling and paid $40 to move it to SUNDAY AT SIX PM. I walked out of that exam at 10 PM. The $5 playoff ticket cost me $45 when it was all said and done.

Would I do it over again? Absolutely.

With love,
gsu_paintballer

So, I'm pickin' App State in this one!!!

I'm going to either NC State or App probably App I'm not betraying my blood. It's just gonna depend, I'm in the top 5% of my class so I'm not going to need a very good score to lock myself in for admission at App. I'd like a 1650 or so.

But we're totally winning this game. We're due for a win against an option team.

Hey just to let you now, I keep up with all-time series as well...all of of the records in your signature are correct except WCU and Elon....we are NOW 58-18-1 against Western Carolina and we are 31-9-1 against Elon. This makes us 562-312-28 all-time. You can double check me....but that is correct. And go APPS!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

If we can get the kind of pressure on the QB that we got in 2010, App. is toast. Not saying we will, but that's a true statement. App. State has no real running threat and they'd be effectively hamstrung on offense. I really hope Brent Russell will be 100% for this game. On the other hand, if we can't get any pressure, I have a hard time believing what we did against App. in the second half on defense last year (lining up the LBs 7 yards behind the LoS) will work with more competent play-calling by App's offensive coaching staff.

Offensively, how much we score depends on how much we are impeded with injuries and self-inflicted turnovers.

App. State IMO needs to repeatedly use Sean Price's height on short routes be able to move the ball against our defense. I don't see them getting many 15+ yard passing plays.

[Saint3333]

I wouldn't say App has no rushing offense as they are the highest rated non-triple option rushing team in the SoCon and 25th nationally.

I think App will score in the 20's if Jackson is a go, but I don't think App can hold GSU under 35. Just too many injuries on defense, especially if Greir is held out again.

App needs to be +3 in turnovers to win this one from my perspective. GSU's secondary is solid mostly because of the lack of time the QB has due to a dominate dline. That is where GSU will win the game Saturday.

[Apphole]

Should be a huge crowd on hand and will hopefully be a factor in the game. Safe travels to all App fans. I think the close call @ chatty will be a little wake up call for the Eagles. I hope we finally put together a full game together in all three aspects.

I'm sure you'll have a good crown on hand. Doubt it will be too much of a factor though. 22k and the flattest stands I've ever seen isn't ideal for noise.

That being said, I expect to take an L. We might even be shut out, but that will be because of the players on the field, not the red necks in the stands. xsmiley_wix

[Apphole]

App. State has no real running threat

Been paying attention to us this year? We have more of a running game this year than we've had since Devon Moore left. Stephen Miller will have 100 yards. Again, I still expect to be blown out.

[eaglewraith]

I'm sure you'll have a good crown on hand. Doubt it will be too much of a factor though. 22k and the flattest stands I've ever seen isn't ideal for noise.

Yea it's obvious you've never been to Paulson.

It was always my experience that a big and rowdy crowd had more of an effect in pumping up the home team than rattling the visiting team. That's what I hope for this weekend.

Also, don't bank on a blowout... This is a rivalry game and there are good athletes on both teams, anything can happen.

[asumike83]

This may already have been said, but exactly what type of injury did Jamal Jackson sustain?

Knee injury, happened on a running play. He was cleared to come back in the second half but the coaches elected not to. I think he will be back in there, not sure how well he'll be moving though.

Any team leading a conference in total offense (465 yards) with over 200 yds in rushing, is an offense to be concerned about. That is enough of a running threat in my book, and it seems likely that this game will not be a low scoring affair, despite GSU's strong defensive credentials this year.

Been on the field many years at both Kidd-Brewer and Paulson. It gets loud enough at both that calling signals for the opposing team can become problematic. It may not be the loudest stadium compared to others, but loud enough does the trick. Heck, the 2500-3000 Eagle fans that made the trip to 'Nooga alone were loud enough to be a factor in the empty cavern that was Finley Stadium. Add another 20K and it will be rocking.

I agree with most all of this, except that we have no running threat. As a team, we are averaging 197 yards on the ground and individually, Steven Miller has 1,077 yards and 9 rushing touchdowns through 9 games. Just like the pressure on the QB, it all comes down to our offensive line play. We've got talented backs but my concern is whether we'll be able to open up any holes. If Jamal is still hobbled at all, it could be a long day if he's not able to scramble and move around in the pocket.

This game will come down to how our young players on both lines perform. I think Jamal will get his passing yards and Sean Price will get his catches but if we aren't able to keep the GSU offense off the field, it may not matter much.

I'm going in with the understanding that it will be tough to get out with a win but I'm not expecting a blowout like many others are. These games always seem to be close and being the underdog with no expectations on our shoulders, I think we come out loose and play a good game. I expect a competitive game but I don't think we win unless we are able to force a few timely turnovers.

[Apphole]

Yea it's obvious you've never been to Paulson.

Nope. This will be year one. I've just been in a much louder KBS for years and it doesn't rattle certain teams. I don't think it will matter for our boys so much. As someone mentioned ealier, it will likely fire your team up, so that will be a plus. Overall though, with App "playing for our lives," I'd say the emotional advantage favors ASU. I still think we're a shoe-in to the playoffs as a 7-4 team, but don't tell the team that.

[asu3peat]

I feel this will be an aberration year, in what is one of the most evenly matched rivalries in terms of the all-time series record, where one team will win by multiple scores a la 2009 and 2004. ASU has not been able to stop the TO all season and will be facing the most athletic of the 3 TO teams in the Socon on the road. I see GSU rolling up 400+ yards and securing the Socon auto-bid this weekend.

ASU - 27
GSU - 48

[Eaglesrus]

There's a lot that troubles me about this game, including the fact that so many App State fans are picking us.

I stand corrected. Should've looked at the stats more carefully.

[ButlerGSU]

The best team doesn't always win in rivalry games like this. I know App was better than Georgia Southern that year Hatcher went up to Boone and won. We'll need to play our best game all season Saturday to get the win.

Go Eagles!

[PhillyApp1]

Add another one.

Add Another One = +2

GSU will look at our tapes and laugh at how we stopped El Cid and the Terriers.

TouchDown GSU...another GSU sack because we never move the pocket or do anything different or surprising

But, then again, GO APP...FIGHT APP.....KICK A$$ !!!....................Any Given Saturday??

[asumike83]

Yep... GSU 77, ASU 2. Monken feels so sorry for us he asks McKinnon to run out the back of the end zone to save us the embarrassment of a shutout. We give up 1,000 yards on the ground and Jamal throws 9 picks. May as well not show up, anyone want my ticket?

Speaking of cold and dead, anyone know what to expect in Stinkboro Saturday, weather wise? Boone is in blizzard conditions for practice this week. I assume they will move into the indoor practice facility.

Hopefully the cooler air will keep the gnats to a minimum.

[biggie]

Looks like 72 and 0% chance of rain on weather.com. Bit different than the next couple days in Boone.

[blueballs]

High in the mid 70's, no rain, fast track. It will feel about 10 degrees warmer than that on the App sideline facing the sun. The gnats are waiting anxiously...

[chattownmocs]

My best SOCON fan impersonation.......

After seeing both teams play at Chattanooga, App State should win this game by 14-17 points because we took Georgia Southern to OT so App must be much better. Of course the one time that I saw the teams play means more than all of the other games that I didn't see combined.

[citdog]

App has played 2 triple option teams in their stadium this season and given up 90 points and more yards than sherman's march to the sea. Don't see them going to Georgia and doing anything but getting beat handily.

I'd have to agree. I just don't know if our defense has to brains/discipline to defend that scheme this year.

Could be wrong though. After all, people compare Stink, El Cid and Woffy all the time of course, but just because they run similar schemes doesn't mean these are the same exact offenses. Georgia Southern is more speed driven than power driven like Wofford. We match up MUCH better when a team is trying to get the edge as opposed to HB dives every play like Wofford. I mean last year we lost to Wofford, let Cid get all sorts of yards in the second half, but managed to beat GaSo and keep their offense to their lowest of the year sans NDSU.

I need to stop this talk before I get my hopes up.

Well, they're strictly forbidden at the gasoutherneagle family tailgating area.

So if you pop on by 'round an hour & a half before kickoff, I've got a Bishop Building pass for you. Don't worry... I'm a pretty big guy. I'll fight you outta there if I have to.... you bein' my guest and all. Then you can go home knowing Georgia Southern bought you a beer or twelve.

You didn't play against Swope last year, and he's more of a power back than Britenstein. If we don't forget what we're doing while blocking he should be doing his thing where he carries several guys for many yards.

[asumike83]

Call me crazy but I think our boys will come to play on Saturday. Not saying I predict a win but I don't see us getting run off the field. Of course, I have been wrong before but I think the Apps will be up for this one.

Whatever happened to Robert Brown? I thought he was supposed to be the feature FB of the future. I seem to remember him having a great freshman year but playing sparingly in this game last season.

Robert Brown is now an A-Back. That being said, he's been battling a nagging injury since the Coastal game his freshman year. I really feel bad for the guy. He was in at B-Back the whole game against App last year, Swope never touched the field.

[Grizo406]

Grizo, you are now dead to me. xmadx

Can't say that doesn't hurt, because it does!

I could yammer, and palaver for days about how we were treated by the App folks on our recent visit, and I still wouldn't be able to get my point across about how awesome the experience was!

I'm more than sure I would be able to say the same things about the GSU people if we would have visited Statesboro & Paulson instead of Boone & Kidd Brewer, but this year, it didn't happen.

Hopefully, in the near future, the "Wolf Pack" will be able to make a trip to beautiful Eagle Creek!

I agree with this and will add I think ASU will be more then ready. I think this game will be closer than a lot of people think. GSU is good, but we aren't quite there yet. ASU is running under the radar after some not so impressive performances. This game is always a slobber knocker... Expect fireworks!

I'll agree that App fans have been nothing but hospitable to me and my crew. We may talk plenty of trash, but both fan bases are well educated when it comes to football, both are diehard about their programs, and both have the upmost respect for each other (barring a few idiots on each side).

Open invite to my tailgate at I 42 on Saturday. Stop by and say hi.

[gsueagle2424]

My best SOCON fan impersonation.......

After seeing both teams play at Chattanooga, App State should win this game by 14-17 points because we took Georgia Southern to OT so App must be much better. Of course the one time that I saw the teams play means more than all of the other games that I didn't see combined.

Agreed. GSU is favored as they rightfully should be but I've seen too many games between these schools where the gap was wider than this year that came right down to the wire.

No kidding that guy hasn't been right yet. I guess if you pick the underdog 100 times eventually you'll be right.

[gsu2583]

I fully expect App to bring it. I HATE the cliche "throw out the record books/stats for this one," but I think it applies here. We tend to ring out the best/worst in each other and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Eagle22]

Whatever happened to Robert Brown? I thought he was supposed to be the feature FB of the future. I seem to remember him having a great freshman year but playing sparingly in this game last season.

Two separate back surgeries. Fractured a vertebra after the Coastal Carolina game in 2010. He has worked hard to get back into top playing form, but the emergence of Swope last season and the move of him to A-back has limited his game time, plus he has continued to be plagued with nagging injuries.

Brown has the tools, though the biggest knock on his ability was that he was more fumble prone than our b-back should be. This year, playing with the 2's at a-back, he has provided a spark but most of the big play ability has been limited by the less effective blocking by the 2nd string WR's he sees playing time with.

[AppAlum2003]

Oh gosh... this couldn't be worse. GSU fans are being "nice" to App fans and trying to make them feel better about the game. I knew we were down this year, but didn't realize it was THIS bad.

As I posted in the FlightLine:

[asumike83]

There is no better week in my sports year than Appalachian vs. Georgia Southern game week. No matter who is expected to win or who ends up winning, something memorable always seems to happen. I've got a 4-day work week, cannot wait to hit the road to Savannah on Friday morning and get over to Statesboro for my first trip to Paulson on Saturday.

That being said... I'd rather play this game in the snow!

Man, I wish I had your optimism. I'm actually going to apply band-aids to myself while listening to the game on the radio. I'm trying to be proactive nowadays.

When I am at the game in the heat of it all, I will be as angry as anyone if we come out there and lay an egg. Big picture though, I just love a great rivalry. It may not be good enough to get out of there with a W but I think we are going to show up and play well. It is football season man, life is good!

[asumike83]

Well, we could always say that they beat you too.

[Eagle11]

Thats one of the reasons we're all lacking in hate this year. We both lost to the same team, one we shouldn't have lost to.

Oh well, piss on App

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Completely off topic but I figured this crowd would find this the most amusing.

On last night's Monday Night Football radio broadcast Kevin Harlan referred to a player having played at Presbyterian college from the Big South conference, and I quote "With such teams as Elon and Furman".

I'm almost sure I was the only one who caught that.

[eaglewraith]

Armanti Edwards sucks.
Richie Williams sucks.
Kevin Richardson sucks.
Corey Lynch sucks.
Dexter Coakley sucks.
Jerry Moore sucks.
Charlie Cobb sucks.

There...I just pissed all over the people that have mattered in App history. Hate week is upon us.

Oh yea....Apphole is a goat ****er.

There, I feel better now.

[asumike83]

I believe you may have just awoken the transitive property trolls again.

Ha! Here are the transitive property projections:

The Citadel: GSU by 22
Elon: ASU by 9
Samford: GSU by 16
Western: GSU by 21
Wofford: GSU by 18
Chattanooga: ASU by 9

By my math, the transitive property has Georgia Southern as a 9.8 point favorite.

[asumike83]

Yea....but we didn't get embarassed at home. Your game could have been mercy ruled in the first quarter.

Excellent point, congratulations on the close loss! :D

[GATA_GSU]

Like others were saying, this thread seems to be a bit light on rivalry-fueled hatred...xtroublex

The somewhat-knowledgeable football fan in me would say something like: this game should be a tough one, and I hope that GSU can play mistake free football (which hasn't happened to this point) and escape with a win. Both teams have a lot riding on this game and I expect it to go down to the wire.

The Georgia Southern fan in me, however, would say something like: I can't wait for CrApp State to come to Paulson so we can destroy them. They've been beaten at "The Rock" (perhaps it should be called "The Pebble" since home-field advantage barely exists there) by teams with a similar offensive scheme and it logically follows that the marquee triple option team of the FCS should have no problem controlling the ball against App's sub-par defense. Honey Boo Boo is more relevant than App State football this year.

After the way ASU has played the TO this year, I'd take a 10 point loss to GSU in Paulson. I have a feeling it's going to get ugly!

Weren't we supposed to get killed by an undefeated, #1 GSU last season when App was having a down year?

Sure, this is different being in Statesboro but everyone said we'd get run off the field last year as well. I expect a great game from both teams. ASU is fighting for their playoff lives and you know the GSU seniors want to get another SoCon ring and not leave with a 1-3 record against App.

[asumike83]

I enjoy the game week banter as much as anyone but I'd like to get some updates on who will and will not play in this game.

Definitely out for ASU: RG Alex Acey

Jamal Jackson practiced in a limited capacity yesterday and is officially questionable. I truly think he will give it a go but if he is not mobile, it could be a long afternoon as our young OL tries to hold a pocket against the GSU front line. If he starts the game and cannot move around well enough to make plays, Hallock may be a better alternative. He had a great game last week but Western Carolina this is not.

Just as important (or possibly more so) for the defense is the status of Brandon Grier. He missed WCU with a knee injury, did not practice yesterday and is also questionable. Grier is a senior weakside linebacker, third year starter and is great against the option. Last season, he had 14 tackles, 1 TFL and a huge goal line stop against GSU. Junior Karl Anderson would start in his place. Anderson is tough and is a sure tackler, got 10 stops against Wofford after BG went down but is nowhere near the athlete Brandon is, nor does he have the experience.

Just my opinion but I think both kids will suit up. The question is how effective they can be. This game is going to be very, very tough no matter what. Without these two ready to contribute as usual, it will make it even more of an uphill battle.

For GSU, I have heard that Dominique Swope and Robert Brown have both been banged up. Any word on these two or any other guys on the injury report that I'm missing?

As for Brown, when is he NOT banged up? Poor kid can't stay injury free. He guts it out a lot though. In any case he's not at B-Back anymore, if he plays this weekend he'll be checking in at A-Back.

[HartleysHuddle]

I believe that you'll find the atmosphere to be pretty lively. We'd be happy for you to visit our tailgate; we're in row L, space 18 in the lot at the stadium. I didn't make it to Brookings, but some folks that tailgate close to us did, and I could walk you over there if you don't hear from them here.

Drop by the Red Flag Gang too... we're on the last row of the booster parking lot- row N, under the red flag. A lot of the folks who post here- Baldy, GSUGT1, EaglesDare, GSC75, EagleGus2, me and this week's special guest IvyTalk.... among many others will be there. GreatAppSt and T-Dog usually stop by too when the Appies come a calling.

I think I might be able to handle that! xthumbsupx The Chain Gang said the last time they tailgated down there, they had a blast. Looking forward to a great matchup between two pretty damn good teams! How's the ticket situation for Paulsen?

Getting pretty thin. Check out www.georgiasoutherneagles.com. Click on tickets and you'll see what's left. None on the home side and very few on the student side. Unlimited general admission, but those seats are on the grass hills. Good view of the action, but not a real seat.

Last time I checked, there were only 150 actual seats left (in section J). Grass seating is [virtually] unlimited.

Hi Hi we hate you
No one will date you
You are the Mountaineers!
Always a losin'
Takin' a bruisin
Always cryin' time!
You bet, hey!
**** App!
**** App!
****!
You!
**** ****!

...and I believe it repeats.

It does repeat, and then inevitably blends into a reprisal of HOT HOT HOT!

BEAT THE STINK!

[gasoutherneagle]

How's the pregame atmosphere in Statesboro? I'm making the trip from Barnwell over for the game. I would love to meet up with some of the GSU fans that made their way to Brookings for the GSU-SDSU game a few years back.

You'll love it! And for the guys, the view ain't bad either.

H-149: From the stadium looking at the lot... 3rd row, on the left, 5 spaces in. Gotta Bishop pass for you, too. So you can go back to the thriving metropolis of Barnwell and say Georgia Southern bought you a beer.

Come on. You can do better than that. A "No, you are!" is all you've got? Granted, I can tell by the Stink joke twitter accounts (Statue of Erk/Manbearpig ect) that you people are disturbingly low on material. Its 100% inbred/ goat ****ing jokes. Time to let those creative juices flowing.

She bleeds blue. You're just mad because she ate Erk. She is your biggest fan. Biggest as in most devout. She's actually about average in physical stature.

Three wins vs. App not many living WCU alums can claim that, if they played there they'd have to be 60+.

I get the sneaking suspicion that these two fanbases might not like each other.

I will be there at Paulson tomorrow to mediate this dispute. Tailgating with Bobbythekid. Hope to run into a few of you freaks, be you a moonshiner or a pig farmer.

[HartleysHuddle]

I will too be at Paulson looking at all the cute little Southern women while hopefully avoiding those Big Bertha types along the way. If you see someone wearing a South Dakota State t-shirt grab him and give him a beer! Looking forward to one heck of a battle tomorrow.

I trolled around the GSU campus for a bit today, stopped by the bookstore, etc. Southern does have a plethora of cuties. It's no William & Mary, that's for sure. W&M can turn a straight man gay if he stays there more than a day. I mean, the dairy industry has W&M on speed dial for when the cow supply stats getting low. When I get cold and I'm in Williamsburg, I....

OK, I'll stop.

[asumike83]

In Savannah right now, cannot wait to get over and see the game tomorrow! Gonna be tough for my boys to get the W but I'll be there until the last whistle, come hell or high water.

I was promised in July 2009 by John Mulherin that the people who have the horn would never be allowed back at the stadium after one of them poured a beer over my wife's head and I went after him and his three friends. Obviously that was an empty promised designed to make me change my mind since I had pulled my booster donation over the incident. I have not given another red cent since.

Any word on Swope?

Does anyone knows what Swope's official injury is? GSU has been quiet about it, but word on the street is that he will play on Saturday.
