Illinois State at Appalachian State

[Mr. C]

Visions of Ken Stabler against the Miami Dolphins as Peacock is hit, throws up a duck and hits Bailey for a 10-yard TD.

Appalachian State 31, Illinois State 31, 3:31 left.

[Mr. C]

Second time Peacock has thrown to Bailey out of Wildcat formation for a TD.

[Edge316007]

That just happened.

[B&G]

Man, I hate that all of those App fans missed that play so they could go do yard work.

[Mr. C]

ISU starts at the 25 on the touchback. Walker almost fumbles on the catch to the 32.

[Mr. C]

High throw from Brown out of bounds. 3rd and 3 from the 32.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Fantastic Finish!!!!!

[Mr. C]

False start on a motion to a tight double slot. And then another false start VERY LOUD HERE.

[Mr. C]

Montana loud.

[Mr. C]

Brown throws out of bounds. 4th down. 2:39 left.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Montana loud.

Welcome to The Rock Redbirds.

[Mr. C]

Return by Beathard to the ASU 29. 2:27 left. 40 yards would get ASU in field goal range.

[Wallace]

wallace get out of the thread if you're only going to **** it up

you mean like the ASU homers? Mr. C ASU already did it

[Mr. C]

Peacock to the 34 on a catch in bounds

[Mr. C]

Jackson is sacked at the 27. 3rd and 11.

[Redbirdgrad]

Welcome to The Rock Redbirds.

Hahahahaha.... some rock.

You guys have been asleep for 3 1/2 quarters!


Everyone knew it would be a great game (except ASU fans).

No worries either way no matter who wins. Great game between 2 schools. But don't give me this, "welcome to the rock" crap!

[Mr. C]

First down on a ridiculous spot to the ASU 39.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Just like most trolls your going to have your face ****ed before this is over......enjoy the dicstick you will be choking on soon.

1:07 left and Jackson is sacked at the 36 by Underwood.

[Mr. C]

Great hit by Ben Ericksen and a great catch at the 46 for Peacock. 3rd and 3 time out ASU No. 1. 42 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

I've covered 25 games live this year from most conferences in FCS. How many venues you been to?

[Mr. C]

Jackson keeper to the 49 inches short. 4th down.

[Mr. C]

Overtime???

[Mr. C]

Martin hangs the punt up so high one second is left.

[Apphole]

Ready for Hallock to pull a Trey Elder

[Mr. C]

Third overtime playoff game in ASU history. First time ever at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

I'd say consecutive false starts with the game on the line is a "welcome to The Rock" moment. You're absolutely right though, great game between two good teams.

Both teams are evenly matched, great game, sucks somebody has to lose a game like this...especially in the playoffs.

ASU wins the toss and chooses defense.

[Apphole]

Yeah right. It took two quarters for our offense to shake the cob webs off. If we played last week we would have coasted to a win already.

[Mr. C]

First down TD pass to the TE for ISU.

[Apphole]

.....

[Mr. C]

High snap on the PAT, great hold to get it down and the kick is through inside the left upright. ISU 38, ASU 31.

[B&G]

Coasted? With that defense?

[Mr. C]

Jackson sprint pass to Price to the 9.

[Mr. C]

Miller with extra effort on the zone read to the 4. 2nd down.

[Mr. C]

Price stop route and Jackson hits him in the end zone for the score.

[Redbirdgrad]

Statements like this are why nobody takes you seriously.

High snap low kick and Martin's PAT is blocked.

Darn lousy way for anyone to lose a ballgame.......props to Ill. State for winning in that environment (like ElCid did).

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

ISU blew up the middle of the ASU line.

[Apphole]

Wow. Circumstance favors the Red Terds.

[Mr. C]

Two high snaps there, one holder got it down properly and won the game for his team.

[Redbirdgrad]

WELCOME TO THE ROCK!!!!!!

Good Lord what a way to end the season...good game ISU, good luck in the playoffs. Good effort ASU, lets hit the weights and get ready for next year.

[Redbirdgrad]

In all seriousness, congrats to App State on a heck of a season, and I wish we weren't playing you because I would be cheering for you in any other game.

Good luck next year and I hope you make the FBS jump soon.

[Apphole]

Statements like this are why nobody takes you seriously.

Check the little green boxes mr. 19 posts. Enjoy your lucky win with all 500 of the rest of your fanbase.

[mainejeff]

Time for ASU to move to the FBS. They've done everything that they can do at this level.......recent playoff results will only erode support for their program. Time to move on.......

[Redbirdgrad]

Check the little green boxes mr. 19 posts. Enjoy your lucky win with all 500 of the rest of your fanbase.

Yes, now the attention turns to your 1 and dones and "is that good enough to get us into the FBS?" conversation... so quick you are to turn your attention FROM the Redbirds who just sent The Rock home crying.

[mmiller_34]

Wow. This thread got real hostile.

[X-Factor]

Words of wisdom from the sore losers are always hilarious!

[Edge316007]

Disgusting execution on the PAT. Half the line didn't even bother to block. Losing Shawn Elliott was the biggest blow this team has had in the last 5 years.

[Redbirdgrad]

Just wondering how many will stay here to eat their crow...

Over under is 2 1/2 posters. Any takers on the over?

[Drblankstare]

Heartbreaking loss for App, that's a tough way to go out. Congrats on a great season, anyway.

You sure do crow a lot for a fan of a team that makes the playoffs every 10 years and can't get 7k fans to your highschool stadium. I guess ignorance is bliss. Congrats on a rare ray of light for your program today. Your classlessness is ruining it for your decent fans though.

Thank apphole aka thefan 2.0

We did have more speed, but speed doesnt always mean a win. Tough way to lose, but great effort by both teams. Best of luck to ISU. Speed helped GSU and Wofford get wins today...we came up a little bit short. You win some and you lose some.

[SpeedkingATL]

Tight game as I expected. Disapointing finish; just didn't make the plays when it counted. Good luck to the Redbirds on the Red Turf next week.

A. Stadium is being upgraded, so that's moot.
B. Fill your stadium during Playoff Games before you talk about anyone else's attendance.
C. Ignorance? Again, are you posting based on post count? That statement was beyond ignorant.
D. Classlessness? No... I've been very classy with all of App Nation who can manage to have an adult conversation. You needed called out, and since I've been here all week telling you how we're going to come to your stadium and win, I was the one who was going to do it.

E. Good luck on moving to FBS.

[HailSzczur]

Wow, back to back to back playoff losses by App St, and all at home. Wish the game wasn't blacked out for me, I was stuck watching gamecast, looks like I missed a hell of a game

Haha. The irony of this post.

[asknoquarter21]

ISU has a Defensive line that is capable of winning a national championship.
.
Congrats to them

My concern for ASU is that this is the third time we lost in the playoffs and didn't look like we wanted to be playing(first half). It would feel a lot worse if we weren't going to be so good next season. They have a long time to think about this one.

[GSU EAGLES]

App needs to move up. With the early losses in the playoffs, you guys are losing momentum. Moving FBS will give you a new burst of energy. Armanti have any brothers in highschool?

[caribbeanhen]

tough way to lose a ballgame but from what I could see, the best team escaped with a victory

[Lehigh Football Nation]

4th and inches and you don't go for it?

[SpeedkingATL]

ISU's offensive line didn'st power App off the ball on running plays but they did a great job of protecting the QB. He had plenty of time to hit his receivers. Although they didn't get a lot of sacks, they kept the pressure on JJ all day.

[ASU_Fanatic]

Fml we had this game won in regulation but took no shots down the field. Horrendous play calling and heart breaking loss

[Edge316007]

With virtually all of the offense coming back, including jj, and now with Satterfield back in the rhythm, next year should be like the AE days.

You guys got a great win and it was a heartbreaking loss for us. Enjoy the victory, your team earned it.

A guy who joined 3 days ago coming on here to mock the App fans right after a game like that just makes you look like a child.

Good game.

[Redbirdgrad]

And here we go with the "next year" posts... I wondered when they would come out.

The mocking wouldn't happen against 99% of teams. But the sense of entitlement Appalachian State has when it came to this game sent me over the edge. Long time reader, just joined as a poster because nobody posted on ISU's behalf.

Zero people outside of the MVFC fans gave us a chance, yet here we are moving on in the bracket.

Until you learn to respect your opponent and other conferences, get ready to eat crow when you lose. 99% of FCS teams are fun to follow.

Matt Brown throwing 5 playoff TD passes, wow! Only one other player has done that in D-I playoff history

Ironically the biggest ASU victory was accomplished on a blocked kick

Relax, it was a joke. An app fan made the same one an hour ago.

Not really, I think people all year were saying the MVFC was the toughest all year. This was also 1 of 3 games people thought would be the closest along with GSU vs Central ark and SDSU vs NDSU. Coastal Carolina beating ODU, Wagner beating EWU, and Cal Poly beating Sam Houston are surprises from teams that nobody thought would win. So stop crying and just keep winning.

[asknoquarter21]

It's football...Your team won today, be thankful because someday they won't.

I realize fans in general will overreact one way or another especially in a game that ends the way this one does, but going to a forum where you aren't held accountable at all seems a bit childish to me.

ASU has had great success in the past and with that comes high expectations. ASU did expect to win this game, I think that is part of being successful. ISU certainly got some attention today with the win. Congrats again.

[cbarrier90]

4th and inches and you don't go for it?

Jamal was playing on one foot at that point. Ball was inside App's 50. Brown has enough time to make a short pass then ISU kicks game winner.

The issue I had was not going for 2 when you had ST woes all season.

[theasushow]

You could go join your buddy outside and do some yardwork. I think that App State fan went outside about 2 hours or so ago...

Jesus Christ dude, I told ISU they played a great game and congrats on the win and good luck the rest of the playoffs, the better team won today. Now are we supposed to sit around for the next 9 months and constantly applaud ISU for winning a close football game? Do we need to start 10-15 threads congratulating them on a hard fought win? what more do you want? you won, congrats.

[Redbirdgrad]

Man these App State fans are testy! Relax and realize this is just a game, nothing more.

Whether Illinois State won or App State won today, there's no reason to get your blood pressure up.

I took some ribbing for a week or so on here with my support for the Birds, so don't be upset when I give it right back for a little while after the outcome has been decided!!!!

[Wallace]

Matt Brown throwing 5 playoff TD passes, wow! Only one other player has done that in D-I playoff history

that ODU QB threw for 6 today to push the bar even further

Thats hilarious... We had more for our playoff game today than ISU does in regular season attendance. Do you really want to compare programs? You'll lose quick. Now get off the Internet, your mom needs you upstairs.

[cbarrier90]

And now T-Dog is saying that Jamal says in the press conference he needs major knee surgery...

This team has gotten zero breaks...

[cbarrier90]

Not our best team ever. Our semifinal team was.

This IS a semi final team. That enough of a compliment for you?

[ASU_Fanatic]

App should have won but congrats ISU

[Redbirdgrad]

Thanks for the compliment!

I still think our other team was better though. That offense would run circles around the one we have right now.

[theasushow]

Well you're allowed to ride your high horse for a short while. But trust me, if there is anything I have learned from being in the playoffs the past 8 YEARS, is don't get too high on your team. We have COASTED through first round games in the past, looking like a NC contender, only to have our asses beat in the 2 round (see Richmond and Villanova). I am pretty sure that teams like GSU have already put todays win behind them. Again, good luck at EWU, hopefully the travel wont take its toll on ISU.

[Redbirdgrad]

App should have won but congrats ISU

Please do your homework. 1/2 of our stands were tore down all year and we dont have the maximum capacity we usually do.

Not saying "ours is bigger" or anything like that, but you act like we play at a high school stadium and that's not the case.

[Redbirdgrad]

]. Again, good luck at EWU, hopefully the travel wont take its toll on ISU.

Thanks man. I think the travel going from coast to coast will definitely play a part, but EWU is a tough out no matter where or when you play them! That's assuming they win their game this evening though.

Excuses???? HAHAAHAHAHA... I'm giving you facts.

If you have a stadium that sits 10,000 and then take half of it away, leaving 5,000, you can't fill you stadium to regular capacity. Those are facts using round numbers for you.

An excuse would be to say it rained a lot and nobody wanted to come. Please learn to recognize facts from excuses. I'm ashamed you came from Illinois as well.

[Redbirdgrad]

Well my work here is done.


Good luck to App State in the future. Heck of a battle and a lot of heart. Wish you could have advanced to.

Who cares that you only seat 10k right now? Before your stands were graciously torn down, you struggled to bring 15k through the doors. ASU averages 12k more than that. Again, lets compare programs. What is it GSU fans say? 6 > 3, right? Well, 3 > 0.

[theasushow]

App should have won? They were down 11 after 3. they are lucky it made ot

ASU COULD have won, they played good enough to win, but so did ISU. ISU played just a fingertip better apparently. No way I can sit here and say ISU didnt deserve to win.

[Apphole]

The OVFC is incredibly over rated. No way in hell any of them except maybe NDSU makes it to Frisco.

App is a team that lost 8 starters before the season, had more than half of the coaching staff replaced and was plagued with injuries all season. I felt lucky to make it to the playoffs. We clearly over achieved all season. On top of that, three weeks off left our offense flaccid as an 80 year old's cock. It took two quarters and we STILL evened it up against a team in over its head.

It was a great game and congrats to the ISU fans that know a thing or two and haven't been running their mouths all night. Historic moment for your program knocking off the poster child of FCS football in an environment you don't see too often. That is a great accomplishment regardless of how far you go from here on out.


Looking inward, who was blocking on that PAT. Or should I say who wasn't....

[ASU_Fanatic]

Also the three week break thing killed us. Our offensive was very rusty in the first half

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

And now T-Dog is saying that Jamal says in the press conference he needs major knee surgery...

This team has gotten zero breaks...

AHEM!

[theasushow]

Also the three week break thing killed us. Our offensive was very rusty in the first half

It didn't help in this case. But it also worked to our advantage since guys were able to rest and heal...I am not sure that the 3 weeks were used as wisely as it could have been unfortunately.

[asumike83]

The better team won but there was nothing lucky about this game going to OT. App made a lot of plays in the 4th to come back.

[md64179]

That was a hell of a football game. Ugly way to lose, but hats off to ISU-R. I wish them luck next week and the rest of the playoffs.

[B&G]

For all of the posturing in this thread about Conferences, Southern Speed, attendance etc... Let's keep in mind that this game came down to a blocked PAT... in overtime. Neither team exactly showed superiority. Give ISU tons of credit for proving to be road warriors all year long. Give ASU credit for a nice comeback that ultimately fell short. I, for one, will wish the ISU team the best of luck in the rest of the playoffs. Do I think they will make a lot of noise? Unfortunately, no. I don't think either of these teams were Championship caliber. But "any given Saturday"...

ISU will be able to look back fondly on this season as one of the most successful in their history. Can't take that away from them. As for ASU? All of the people saying they are losing all of their momentum and need to get to BCS immediately should pump the brakes. I guarantee you they will get a much needed injection into their program. I am breaking this news now... way before anyone can or will be able to substantiate it. But you will look back and see that I am right. Jerry Moore will be retiring in the next couple of months. Scott Satterfield will be the new coach. And he will be allowed to shape up his coaching staff as he sees fit. Look for a new defensive coordinator from an FCS rival (the current frontrunner for the job anyway). Not going to name my source but I will be glad to eat crow if I am wrong.

[Wallace]

... Historic moment for your program knocking off the poster child of FCS football...

LOL, this is not an historic moment for Illinois State and they didn't play the "poster child of FCS football" because they played in Boone today... not Statesboro.

[seantaylor]

It is hilarious how Apoy thinks they are the elite program in FCS. It is, and always will, be GSU. You had a decent run when our retarded AD hired two coaches that pee sitting down. We still have more everything than you rubes. And the gap is growing.

Attendance was slack today but we knew it would be, always is in the playoffs. It was rocking though, I sat in the student section it was nuts.

[Apphole]

Ask Joe Shmoe over in Indiana or Nevada and see which school he's heard of.

GSU used a novelty offense to surprise every team with one week of preparation in the 80's. it took them 20 years to catch up, they have 2/3 our fan support and they've lost the vast majority of the last games we've played and they're somehow gaining on us? xlolx

App State's program with Armanti

App State's program without Armanti.


It appears Armanti lifted the program tremendously and now it is back to "normalcy"

No doubt he was an incredible player. I think we are seeing more and more how special he was.

[theasushow]

Playoff wins in the last 3 years? Home losses?

I guess college football success is now measured by home wins. I have heard it all.

[asujch]

It is hilarious how Apoy thinks they are the elite program in FCS. It is, and always will, be GSU. You had a decent run when our retarded AD hired two coaches that pee sitting down. We still have more everything than you rubes. And the gap is growing.

sounds like someone is still butthurt from the last two meetings xsmiley_wix

[seantaylor]

Losing at home as often as you do definitely shows a negative trend. Notice you didn't answer about the playoff wins. Monken at 6 wins in 3 years and counting.

[Skjellyfetti]

Grats to Illinois State on a hell of a win. Your team played great.



Love the GSU trolls coming out of the woodwork celebrating teams accomplishing what their team hasn't been able to. xcoffeex

And he has a losing record against App. xthumbsupx

[theasushow]

As far as all time programs I would certainly go with GSU as the better program. But RIGHT NOW there is no way GSU is more of a "poster fcs team" than ASU. GSU has won 2 NC's in the last 22 years, and none in 12 years. The Michigan win propelled ASU and FCS to unprecedented heights, not to mention the 3 national championships, not to mention the head to heads, not to mention the attendance at the games. Sure GSU has a few more playoff wins the last couple years, but the last time I checked, these 2 programs dont hang their hat on playoff wins..

[IBleedYellow]

Nice game for both teams! Way to rep the Valley ISU! Cya in Frisco!

However has the National Championship is the current poster program and that goes to NDSU until someone knocks them off. Both GaSo and App have a lot to be proud of.

[Hammerhead]

GSU's six titles are impressive. It's too bad they haven't been to the championship game since 2000.

As much as we heard about App's speed, we heard just as much about how the MVFC is the only conference who plays defense and nobody would be able to move the ball on them. App scored 37 points and put up 434 yards of offense. The better team won but it certainly was not because of smothering defense by ISU.

This was a game between the SoCon and MVFC and both teams were considered the 2nd or 3rd best team in their respective conference. The game was decided by a blocked PAT in overtime. Not exactly an argument to support that the MVFC is head and shoulders above the SoCon as we've heard all year.

Good game by ISU.

[ericsaid]

I think the problem today was negative plays. Jamal was no threat o pull the ball on the option read and the defense flooded millers lane. Was a great game to watch.

I really don't get the need for NDSU fans to stand up for teams in their conference when said teams can't represent themselves.

[ericsaid]

Blalock was also an obvious liability in coverage against o'shaunessy .

App was outcoached, and it started selection Sunday.

Congrats Redbirds, good luck!

[asumike83]

Exactly an argument to support the MVFC

We lost 2 games at home in conference, one by 24 points. Yes, we benefited from Wofford getting upset and got a share of the title but I don't think anyone would say that ASU is better than the third best team in the SoCon after looking at the season as a whole.

[theasushow]

Exactly an argument to support the MVFC

Well actually there were 3 SOCON champs, so if ISU beats Wofford and GSU, then we can talk.

Who cares that you only seat 10k right now? Before your stands were graciously torn down, you struggled to bring 15k through the doors. ASU averages 12k more than that. Again, lets compare programs. What is it GSU fans say? 6 > 3, right? Well, 3 > 0.

I have one very important comparison for today...

Holy cow this topic is getting crazy. First off Boone is gorgeous, ASU is gorgeous, all of the non student ASU fans were top notch. We ended up tailgating by Hardee's and scores of ASU faithful welcomed us to n Carolina, wished us luck, and talked football with us, everyone. Had some great conversations at halftime, and after the game most congratulated us and wished us luck next week

The Rock is simply amazing, what a fantastic facility. The crowd was quiet when we were up 11 but crazy loud when ASU tied it up. I was impressed with how many in red made the 600+ mile trip. ISUs defense played great for 3 quarters and ran out of gas in the 4th

Much of our success did come at the unfortunate Luck of Blalock. He was way overmatched today and was torched at least 3 times. Sean Price is a beast, Matt Brown is a stud, and we were close to blocking an XP all day, we luckily got the last one when ASUs o-line had a breakdown and 3-4 guys were all over the ball.

Great game, glad i made the trip, glad we won, and thank you ASU for your hospitality!

The crowd was great, I've been to games with 10K more than today that were not as loud.

[eaglewraith]

Also the three week break thing killed us. Our offensive was very rusty in the first half

I had wondered if this would be a factor. Seems like 2 sides of a coin. On one side you finally got to rest your guys up, on the other side it was a chance for the players to get a bit rusty.

We used to schedule our bye at the end of the season so we could rest up heading into the playoffs. However having that first round bye possibility might make scheduling interesting moving forward. Might be a smarter idea to try and get a bye in the late middle part of the season.

NDSU scored 38 on them on the road and our offense is horrendous, and we did it in regulation. Color me unimpressed by 37 points with an overtime.

Illinois State is hardly the class of the MVFC when it comes to defense, in yards they are 5th in conference, in points they are 6th... If you wanted to face a real defense you should have made an effort to matchup against NDSU.

I think for most of the first 3 quarters, our defense was strong...well above average vs the run, the pass coverage was above average minus a couple missed tackles that led to big scores but by the 4th quarter they were tired, coverage dropped off, pass rush went invisible for 13 minutes and we were terrible in OT on our 3 plays. We imposed our will and had success until ASUs offense imposed their will and turned it into a shoot out which we did not want!

Good win for the Redbirds. Went into ASU's house and won the game.

They will give EWU a run next week.

[isured89]

The family and I had the pleasure of visiting Boone for yesterday's game. What a beautiful campus and stadium. I've never been to a more ruckus FCS setting (haven't been to the Fargo Dome, so the jury is still out). I wish our fan support was half as good as App State's. All the people we met were very welcoming and gracious in defeat.

What a great game. I almost hated to see it end in such bizarre fashion. App State will be a handful in the near future. Jackson, Kimbrough, Price, and Miller were all very impressive. Walker seemed to have his was with McCray, wasn't expecting that.

Kudos to the Birds on a great win. On to Eastern Washington!

Hindsight is 20:20. We shouldn't have missed a block and had our season end with a swatted PAT. Certain things went good and bad before then but that's just football. There is no excuse for that final play. My heart broke for the seniors,

I'm with you on that. Going for two would have been a VERY risky call.

We've had our special teams issues but you have to tie the game in that situation at home and as you mentioned, we had not missed a PAT in about 50 attempts before that kick.

It's simple odds. At that point ASU had not held a lead in the game.

The reason you take defense first is because you can put yourself in a position like App was in at the time of the PAT.

If ASU goes for 2, their odds of winning are 50-50. Either you make it to win, or you don't and lose.

If ASU goes for one, the odds of winning are 0%, since either way the game is still tied.

You can say that ASU extends the game, but it's a matter of controlling your own destiny. ASU had that opportunity and failed to act on it after not leading the entire game. Samford made the same mistake against App when they elected to punt on 4th and 1 when a conversion would have given them the victory.

Out...coached.

ASU did many things wrong in that game yesterday, but going for 1 isn't one of them.

I think you go defense first in hopes of holding them to a field goal and winning with a touchdown.

Not that it is always right but the old adage of going for the tie at home and the win on the road does hold some water, IMO.

If JM makes the call to go for 2 when we hadn't missed a PAT all season and we failed to convert, it would have been a big blunder. We had all the momentum after coming back, I don't blame JM for making that call. At the time, I liked our chances if we extended the game as well.

The only reason to go for two at home is if you go offense 2nd and need 1 to tie and don't think you can prevent and/or score a TD in 2nd overtime when the visitors are likely to go for 2.

[B&G]

For all of the posturing in this thread about Conferences, Southern Speed, attendance etc... Let's keep in mind that this game came down to a blocked PAT... in overtime. Neither team exactly showed superiority. Give ISU tons of credit for proving to be road warriors all year long. Give ASU credit for a nice comeback that ultimately fell short. I, for one, will wish the ISU team the best of luck in the rest of the playoffs. Do I think they will make a lot of noise? Unfortunately, no. I don't think either of these teams were Championship caliber. But "any given Saturday"...

ISU will be able to look back fondly on this season as one of the most successful in their history. Can't take that away from them. As for ASU? All of the people saying they are losing all of their momentum and need to get to BCS immediately should pump the brakes. I guarantee you they will get a much needed injection into their program. I am breaking this news now... way before anyone can or will be able to substantiate it. But you will look back and see that I am right. Jerry Moore will be retiring in the next couple of months. Scott Satterfield will be the new coach. And he will be allowed to shape up his coaching staff as he sees fit. Look for a new defensive coordinator from an FCS rival (the current frontrunner for the job anyway). Not going to name my source but I will be glad to eat crow if I am wrong.

Told ya.

[B&G]

I am getting word that a former assistant not named Satterfield is actually being offered the head coach job with Scott as Plan B.

Elliot isnt a great choice. He's one of the highest paid assistant coaches in FBS, has only been an FBS position coach 2 years, and his star is quickly on the rise, as is SC's.

Can't afford him and he wont stay long - we need someone who wants to stay at ASU like Jerry - only Satterfield may be that person but I do not think he is a strong candidate was not impressed with him this year at all

[Go Apps]

Time for ASU to move to the FBS. They've done everything that they can do at this level.......recent playoff results will only erode support for their program. Time to move on.......

We cannot afford to move - the fanbase wants to stay a move will double ticket prices and students will no longer get in free to games - a crowd of 15K would be high if they move - I will be unable to take my family and will forfeit my season tickets - honestly do not care to watch Conf USA or Sunbelt anytime or anywhere -

ASU needs to stay where it makes sense would only support a move to the ACC - hell we could win that damn conference in football

Elliott??? You've got to be kidding. No chance of that happening. Plenty of heavy-credentialled coaches for ASU to pluck for the Jerry Moore coaching tree before Elliott.[/QUOTE]

Pretty strong wording. Hope you checked your sources first. I have a pretty good source that says the ball is in his court.

He came to the game Saturday for a reason. What do you think it was?

Just to get the thread back on-topic...


38-37 in OT. Discuss.

Elliot interviewed yesterday, and Spurrier confirmed Sean is a canidate.

Hate all of this. Especially for Jerry not to go out on good terms.

As much as I like Elliot, if he's hired I think we lose Satterfield and that cost us too much of a setback in the offense, rather see Satterfield take over ASAP.

I think Elliot as HC and SS as OC is perfect. But if having Elliot at HC means SS leaves, I say it's not nearly worth it.

I also can't imagine how we could ever afford Elliot. Does he just love App State that much?

The one thing I have not been able to find out is what Satterfield would so if Elliott took the job. But I do know that Elliott has made some calls to get his staff in place. There will be a shakeup on defense.

There will be a shakeup on defense.

That has to happen, regardless of who becomes the permanent head coach. Way too much talent for the kind of results we got this season. It was fairly obvious from day one that we did not have a kid suited to play nose tackle in a 3-4 alignment. Playing a 4-3 defense after Aiken and Wylie graduated would have made a big difference, IMO.

A lot of talent but a lot of holes after graduation, injuries, and attrition. When it all came down, I projected a 6-5 season. This staff almost worked miracles with what they had.

True, but the offense, even under the circumstances, got the most they could out of each player on the field. That was never more evident than Saturday night, when guys like Drew Bailey, (THE) Simms McElfresh, and Malachi Jones all made huge plays. Add to that guys like Tucker Lee on the O-line who played admirably on a patchwork unit.

Meanwhile, the defense couldn't ever hold up under the same attrition, despite healthy seasons from guys who will get NFL looks in Demetrius McCray and Jeremy Kimbrough. No, Dale Jones didn't ever have all the ones in games, but what happened on Saturday defensively was inexcusable. No adjustments made, secondary being torched play after play, even after the offense fought through some early rust to make a comeback. Something has to change.

I was on the sidelines, and long after the pain of this defeat goes away, this sequence will be my lasting memory from this game.

Hahahahaha.... some rock.

You guys have been asleep for 3 1/2 quarters!


Everyone knew it would be a great game (except ASU fans).



No worries either way no matter who wins. Great game between 2 schools. But don't give me this, "welcome to the rock" crap!

So what you're saying is, the App State fans are better than the App State football team come playoffs?

It's from the MMB. The Appfan people don't deserve to see it.

You're quoting me and then replaying a video that proved your fans can be loud in a football stadium during a big sequence???

Have that noise level ALL game and maybe something different would have happened...

Oh yeah, that's right, you were losing most of it. Sorry bout your bad luck.

Try this as my favorite memory from that game:

Typical "Nov 2012" poster. A great football game and you ruin it with smack.

Congratulations on the win.
