Game Thread: 2006 FCS App State Vs. UMass 8pm EPSN2

[mcveyrl]

UMass D is tired...

[Appstate29]

TOUCHDOWN ASU!

[GAD]

TOUCHDOWN

[CoastalFan2005]

I swear I just saw the Cap'n in the crowd.

[The Cats]

Richardson and Edwards.... unstoppable

[mcveyrl]

i'm sold. i'm asking for Daytona 500 cologne for christmas

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Richardson and Edwards.... unstoppable
The O line is helping some!!!!

[Appstate29]

Richardson-134 yards and 3 TDs

[Cobblestone]

I want Jimmie Johnson's wife for christmas

[Cobblestone]

back to football

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Play calling is killing UMASS

[Cobblestone]

UMASS needs to go to the air.

[mcveyrl]

Yea, those passes aren't any better than Baylark runs...

Except for that one.

[Appstate29]

Baylark not as effective this half

[Cobblestone]

that was a good play call

[jmuroller]

flea flicker....old school magic is what UMass needs!!!

[mcveyrl]

uhh....

[Cobblestone]

ASU snuffed trhat one out

[CoastalFan2005]

I've been watching more than I have posting...I have to say, VERY impressive showing by App's fans. :nod:

[mcveyrl]

i think alex wood has taken over the UMass offense...

[mcveyrl]

wow. wide open.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

YES......................

[Cobblestone]

big play!!!

[CoastalFan2005]

BIG reception

[mcveyrl]

QB got too confident. That guy wasn't even close to being open

[TigerFan17]

listorti is having a pretty big game!

[CoastalFan2005]

Nearly intercepted...come on, D

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

under thrown

[Appstate29]

damn that INT would be huge

[CoastalFan2005]

Baylark going nowhere

[Cobblestone]

oh, big loss.

[mcveyrl]

I predict an INT here. Wrong.

[Appstate29]

nice! Baylark is getting shut down this drive

[CoastalFan2005]

Incomplete

4th & 14

[CoastalFan2005]

UMass FG is good

Let's go App!

[mcveyrl]

wow. Very nice kick.

[TigerFan17]

If App scores on their next drive, I think this game is over.

[Cobblestone]

perfect FG

[Appstate29]

wow, ASU scores 2 more times and holds UMASS to nothing and my prediction will be 100% correct

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

UMASS has not stopped ASU since the first quarter.....not looking good

[mcveyrl]

If App scores on their next drive, I think this game is over.


I think you're right (unless it's a FG). UMass D looks really tired and they weren't off the field as long as ASU's D was.

[Appstate29]

APP...STATE chant sounds real good on the radio

[Cobblestone]

NICE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY

[CoastalFan2005]

Nice short gain by K-Rich

[mcveyrl]

TOs would be nice if ASU gets a couple of first downs

[Appstate29]

lets get some PA pass on this drive, they are looking for the run

[CoastalFan2005]

ASU still moving the chains pretty well

[mcveyrl]

they also keep biting on the option pass

[Appstate29]

1st down Black and Gold!

[Cobblestone]

ASU is going to run Richardson the rest of the game

[bobbythekidd]

The folks that bought tickets are really getting their money's worth tonight.

[CoastalFan2005]

Isn't the UMass player they just showed being helped off the field the same one that got helped off earlier?

[mcveyrl]

How are they not anticipating the QB draw when the have 5 WRs???

[mcveyrl]

Isn't the UMass player they just showed being helped off the field the same one that got helped off earlier?

Yep.

[CoastalFan2005]

Nice run

[GaSouthern]

why did richardson go out of bounds? arn't they tryin to run down the clock?

[CoastalFan2005]

Yep.

Thought so...

I know they mentioned that there's another UMass player playing this game with a torn ACL. That's cajones right there.

[Cobblestone]

ASU is running too fast of a pace and Richardson is too strong. I think ASU wins this.

[mcveyrl]

why did richardson go out of bounds? arn't they tryin to run down the clock?

He saw #7...:D :D :D

[Appstate29]

mental mistake on K-Richs part, good news is he just went over 1000 yards in 8 playoff games!

[mcveyrl]

ASU is running too fast of a pace and Richardson is too strong. I think ASU wins this.


I think you're right. Only a fumble would save them.

[GaSouthern]

thus far Appy has looked like the better team all around IMHO

[GrizDen]

Edwards has taken some big hits tonight, but he seems unfazed. Looking at him, I'd think he'd snap like a twig -- but he's shown in the playoffs (I didn't see any regular season ASU games) that he can take the big hit and get up from it. He's going to do some special things during his collegiate career.

[bobbythekidd]

mental mistake on K-Richs part, good news is he just went over 1000 yards in 8 playoff games!
Way to go Richardson!:beerchug: :beerchug:

[CoastalFan2005]

Late pitch...loss

[mcveyrl]

That was a little awkward. First time I think Edwards has looked like a freshman

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

This is the game

[Appstate29]

bad couple plays here, lets try to convert here

[Appstate29]

suspense is killing me!

[mcveyrl]

What's Rauch's range??

[GrizDen]

Big 3-10 coming up. ASU can get closer to sealing it or UMass can get the ball back.

[rcny46]

Thought so...

I know they mentioned that there's another UMass player playing this game with a torn ACL. That's cajones right there.


The guy with the torn ACL is the brother of the player who was helped off the field a couple of times.

[Cobblestone]

Looking forward to seeing this movie

[GaSouthern]

GSU PLUG!!!!!!!!! :)

[CoastalFan2005]

NICE first down

[GaSouthern]

HUGE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcveyrl]

what a pass!

[Appstate29]

Rauch's range is about 45 TOPS hes no Koegel

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Game ....set....match

[Cobblestone]

I think that was the play of the game

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

What's Rauch's range??

Looks darn good on kickoffs!! :nod:

[mcveyrl]

UMass is done. That was horrible defense on the run.

[CoastalFan2005]

Minutemen defense looked downtrodden on that last play

[CoastalFan2005]

WHEW...he was down

[The Cats]

Umass looks dead on D

[Appstate29]

1st and goal at the 2!

[CoastalFan2005]

This could be it...

TD ASU!!!

[Cobblestone]

congrats to ASU. I wanted to see an A-10 team win it but ASU was clearly the better team. Good game by both teams. Thanks to those who posted. It was fun watching with you guys.

[Appstate29]

TD ASU!!! K-Rich 4 tds!

[Cobblestone]

Good night all.

[jmuroller]

Is Richardson a former walk-on? I can't remember if they said if he was or not?

[bobbythekidd]

congrats to ASU. I wanted to see an A-10 team win it but ASU was clearly the better team. Good game by both teams. Thanks to those who posted. It was fun watching with you guys.
Ditto that cobblestone, only I wanted App

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

UMASS came out strong....ASU made the adjustments and played their game....Congrats........

[soccerguy315]

that's prolly it... great game

congrats to App State!

[CoastalFan2005]

UMass would need an extreme miracle now. Played a very good game, though.

Congrats to ASU! :bow: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :bow:

[GrizDen]

Back 2 Back for ASU. Well done, that is quite an accomplishment.

[mcveyrl]

Congrats to ASU. Definitely the better team.

They will be favored to win it all next year, too!!

[mcveyrl]

Is Richardson a former walk-on? I can't remember if they said if he was or not?
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[GSUISBACK]

congrats ASU

[The Cats]

Is Richardson a former walk-on? I can't remember if they said if he was or not?

yes, he was a walk-on

[GaSouthern]

Thats BS, Adrian Peterson got 40 TD's in a single season as a junior

[Appstate29]

don't rush the field guys! we were just here last year

[soccerguy315]

Is Richardson a former walk-on? I can't remember if they said if he was or not?

I think they might've mentioned it once in passing. Totally understandable if you didn't catch it completely. :bang: :bang:

and not only was he a walk on, but I think the coaches didn't even know his name!

:p

[B&G]

UMass certainly held up their end of the bargain. I think they involved the TE a little too late in the game or it could've gone the other way.

[Mountaineer]

At least he's not a transfer. ;)

[Ivytalk]

App State is proving it's a great squad. Hats off to them!:nod:

[colorless raider]

UMASS got alot of their own medicine. A great team ASU!

[Appstate29]

Is Richardson a former walk-on? I can't remember if they said if he was or not?


Yes, Kevin walked on here, and later earned a scholarship (obviously)

[bkrownd]

Minutemen made the fatal mistake of stopping hammering it down the field early when they had it rolling. In a big game you have to ride all the momentum you've got for as long as you can.

[CoastalFan2005]

INT!!!!!!!!!!

Game over!

[Mountaineer]

LYNCH!!!!

[GaSouthern]

BACK TO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mountaineer]

*FAINTS*

[Seven Would Be Nice]

I just tuned in half way through the last app drive.. they mentioned GSU like 5 times xlolx xlolx xlolx




INT!!! CONGRATS APP!!

[bobbythekidd]

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: Way to go APP! It was a tough game and hard earned! Umass, awsome play tonight! A great game delivered by both.
Thanks for a great game.

[BestOfBreed]

Congrats App State! Way to represent the SoCon!

[Appstate29]

[CoastalFan2005]

There's fans everywhere, LoL

[Appstate29]

[bobbythekidd]

Trey Elder = the human victory cigar
You want to smoke a Trey Elder?:confused: xlolx

[The Cats]

will they (ESPN) hang around for the trophy ???

[GaSouthern]

WAY TO GO APPY!!!!!!!!!!

[jmuroller]

They've gotta do something about the trophy presentation...it is bush league at best.

[The Cats]

I knew they wouldn't stay no longer than 30 seconds after the game was over

[Appstate29]

will they (ESPN) hang around for the trophy ???


They better! Lets get some face time!

[LeopardFan04]

Congrats ASU! And hold your heads high UMass! Great years for both...

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

will they (ESPN) hang around for the trophy ???

Are you serious? It's time for Quite Frankly! : smh : : smh : : smh :

Congrats ASU! Terrific effort and execution tonight!! Pretty darned good game and a great showcase for CS Football. :nod:

[Appstate29]

Pathetic by ESPN.

[CoastalFan2005]

Pathetic by ESPN.

I expected no less. :bang:

[mistersykes]

Congrats to UMass on a great season! Congrats to App on a second straight! Go for three?:D :D :D

[Appstate29]

Congrats.

[Block-A]

WoooooooooooooooooooooooooHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Is Richardson a former walk-on? I can't remember if they said if he was or not?

Not only that but I heard Edwards was a "true freshman." Did anybody else hear "true freshman?"

[Black Saturday]

Edwards is TOUGH, he will take whatever UMASS has to deal out.


Quote of the night opn this thread.

Three more years of Edwards guys!:nod:

[Mountaineer]

Much love to MplsBison and Cap'n Cat. :p :beerchug: xsmoochx

[ChooChoo]

Great Game! UMass represented the New CAA well and Appalachian did so for the south :smiley_wi .

And I agree, it was totally ridiculous that ESPN couldn't hang 5 minutes for the trophy ceremony. I thought their abrupt ending was disrespectful. Quite Frankly I HATE that show they seemed so eager to get on the air.
I know it's better than nothing, but come on, that's the PINNACLE of a championship game!

[lizrdgizrd]

Much love to MplsBison and Cap'n Cat. :p :beerchug: xsmoochx
I second that!! :beerchug: :hurray:

[lizrdgizrd]

Great game by both teams. I was definitely worried up until that pick by Lynch. I wouldn't want to have to play you guys every year! :nonono2:

[Appstate29]

Much love to MplsBison and Cap'n Cat. :p :beerchug: xsmoochx


absolutely! Couldn't have done it without these two, thanks a bunch guys! Especially Mpls, any way we can have a ring made for this guy, he singlehandedly took us to the national title.

[Black Saturday]

I don't think ASU has seen a defense like UMass this season......

You're right first time seeingUMass, put more points on them and racked up probably more yards on the second best defense in the FCS, KR 4 tds 170+yds:bow: of course the #1 defense in FCS is ASU:hurray:

[mistersykes]

I haven't seen any coverage on E$PNews. Am I suprised?:nonono2:

[lizrdgizrd]

I haven't seen any coverage on E$PNews. Am I suprised?:nonono2:
Wait for SportsCenter tomorrow, they'll have 5 seconds right at the end. :rolleyes:

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Thats BS, Adrian Peterson got 40 TD's in a single season as a junior

That was before they counted playoff games...if they had while AP was still around, he would have many rushing records.

[HaveFunKc]

Much love to MplsBison and Cap'n Cat. :p :beerchug: xsmoochx

Now that's APPsolutely hilarious!!! xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[blackfordpu]

Congrats to App St. Great performance and showed true character by coming back and winning.

UMass had a fine season too.
