[ucdtim17]

I gotta think it's going to win

[thmst30]

I gotta think it's going to win
Honestly I think Trinity will win because people were mesmerized over it. Even though it wasn't a big upset or anything, and the Millsaps team just gave up on defense at the end. I hope App wins, but I'm telling ya my gut says that Trinity gets the popularity vote.

[Seven Would Be Nice]

Trinity could win by popularity, but App blocking that FG has a much bigger impact.

I don't know if Trinity was as big as ASU over Michigan, in popularity or impact. Anyway, maybe we will get lucky and they will be eliminated this week!

[putter]

Another vote for App! xthumbsupx

[ButlerGSU]

Even I will toss a bone to App State every now and then xsmiley_wix

Good luck guys, yall deserve it.

[KiddBrewer]

trinity was just a lot of TERRRRRRIBLE defense....and not really that important, comparatively speaking.

[appmountaineer]

I think it will come down to, APP, LSU over Auburn, and stanford. Your guesses?

[trusty]

Done good luck

[AppMan]

I know we have our squabbles, but the one thing we can all agree on is ASU's win over Michigan brought a lot of legitimacy to FCS football. The Appalachian Nation is asking for the rest of the FCS world to chip in and vote for Cory Lynch's block of Michigan's game winning field goal attempt as the Pontiac Game Changing Play of the Year. Thanks for all your help!

[See Red!]

I would vote for this play as the game changing performace of all time. Not only did it throw a major wrench into the whole notion of the BCS and what "power conferences" really are, it woke everyone up to the fact that I-AA football has some fantastic teams and we can do more than beat bottom feeder I-A schools.

Now if Appy wins, I think in all fairness they should split some of that $100,000 with the other 15 playoff teams. Seems reasonable to me! Anybody else think so?

The week after that game I was fast-forwarding through some stuff on ESPN when they showed a replay of the Corey Lynch FG block. I stop and hit rewind so that I could watch the play again. My wife asked me something like, "That play agian? You must have watched it one hundred times. How many times are you going to watch it?" My reply was, "I don't know, but I guarantee I can watch it more times than they can replay it!"

As amazing as it was on TV, nothing will ever top being there in person... Watching and hearing 105,000 screaming Wolverine fans one second and then the very next second they are in a morgue...

Shock does not even come close to describe the scene that washed over Michigan stadium that afternoon. I still get chills...

If this doesn't win - WOW...

All I can say is PRICELESS

[lizrdgizrd]

I saw the show last night on ESPN where they reviewed all these plays. I gotta say that the only one that I will accept beating us is the billion lateral play from DIII. That is one amazing play.

To me, that comes off as a sort of wacky, keystone cops moment. It's amazing, but cartoonish, almost. I think in terms of how important our play was to our game and our school, and how it kicked of the "Craziest College Football Season Ever" (TM) make the App play the winner.



(Still, I'm about to watch that Trinity play again. :D )

[biggie]

Vote. Not going to let this die.

Should be down to top 4 pretty soon.

[rb45070]

Ok all we are down to the final four. One last time please head over and vote for App.. The final four are:

App
Alabama
Auburn
Trinity

I think only the Trinity game causes concern. Auburn and Alabama soooo don't need the money. Geez. xlolx

xthumbsupx

Thank to all who are voting for us. xbowx xnodx

[appstate38]

Done,

The Auburn/Alabama highlights aren't really that great.

[biggie]

Done. Hope we have a chance.

[GGASU]

Done,

The Auburn/Alabama highlights aren't really that great.


I think the only reason the Auburn and Alabama plays are still there because of their large fan base vote.

Hopefully they haven't found out how to vote as many times as you want.

Were at the final 4 now, not sure when voting is cut off. I'd assume end of this week or the weekend, but maybe earlier.

[HaveFunKc]

Next cut is Thursday... Not sure if it is down to the last two or THE one, but keep voting until then. Thursday afternoon will tell us something!!

Until then - before you leave Santa some cookies out, leave some more votes. xthumbsupx

My brother just called me at 2:57, Thursday afternoon, to let me know that Chris Fowler just stated that ASU was leading in the Pontiac Game Changing Performance contest. Approx. 20,000 votes have been casted. Keep'em coming guys...we could use $100k to go with our $400k.

[andy7171]

Got my vote! It's really a no contest.

[genhunt]

Just voted.


Drove by another fan today...gave them the 3peat sign and they reponded in kind. It is going to take awhile for the celebration to end!

Stand corrected... Next round of cuts is 12/29 according to the 'official' rules of E$PN/Pontiac. It looks like they cut it down to the final two with the final winner announced Jan 7th.

So keep the votes going!!! xthumbsupx

[Casey_Orourke]

keep voting

[appsfan]

I voted again today. Let's keep it going!

[ERASU2113]

Just did too! One of the final four! :D

[JohnStOnge]

Sorry man. But if I'm voting I'm voting for that Trinity lateral thing. In fact, the video at the game changing moment site doesn't do it justice because it starts late in the play. That is the most incredible thing I've seen in college football. Makes the Cal/Stanford thing look tame except for the fact that nobody ran over any band members.

[thmst30]

That trinity play would have been great if the team that got scored on didn't just stop playing and practically watch the dude run right past them without even trying to tackle him. Play until you hear the whistle guys, they gave up.

[JohnStOnge]

App envy again from JSO.

No it's not. Yes, I wish McNeese could accomplish what App's accomplished.

But the reason I'd vote for that Trinity play is that it's the most amazing college football play I've ever seen.

[McNeese75]

App envy again from JSO.

Are you stalking JSO???? xcoffeex

[ERASU2113]

Honestly I think the Trinity play is amazing, but not as great as the ASU play.

1. Trinity and Milsaps, I know that's incorrect, match up better.
2. ASU and Michigan, as far as scholarships/size do not.
3. In the trinity game, the players stopped and just watched it unfold.

Granted it's my opinion, but given the fact the players quit...it's not the best play of the year. "The Play"...Cal/Stanford is far better. Mainly because no one quit on the play.

[appchuck]

That trinity play would have been great if the team that got scored on didn't just stop playing and practically watch the dude run right past them without even trying to tackle him. Play until you hear the whistle guys, they gave up.

I just noticed the guys in purple were just watching. Very little effort. If that cost them the game, they deserved to lose.

[AshevilleApp2]

It's over. Auburn won.

[ASUMountaineer]

No it's not. Yes, I wish McNeese could accomplish what App's accomplished.

But the reason I'd vote for that Trinity play is that it's the most amazing college football play I've ever seen.

I thought it was a great play, but I think last year's Boise State Statue of Liberty was much better. I did not find the Trinity play to be all that amazing. It was more luck than skill.

[ASUMountaineer]

It's over. Auburn won.

According to GoASU.com it's not over until January 7.


ASU a Finalist for $100,000 Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year Award
by Appalachian Sports Information

November 28, 2007 - DETROIT *— Appalachian State University’s historic season-opening win at Michigan, capped by Buck Buchanan Award candidate Corey Lynch’s field-goal block as time expired, is one of 13 finalists for the 2007 Pontiac Game Changing Performance of Year award, Pontiac announced on Thursday. Appalachian fans are urged to click here to vote for the Mountaineers each week and help ASU win a $100,000 donation from Pontiac to the University’s general scholarship fund.

Each of the college football season’s Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Week winners are in the running for the grand prize. Voting begins Thursday, Nov. 29 and each of the next three Thursdays, the previous week’s lowest three vote-getters will be eliminated until the top-four finalists are announced on Dec. 20. Voting for the top four will continue until January 7, when the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year and winner of the $100,000 prize will be announced on FOX.

For more information, visit pontiac.com/ncaa or GoASU.com.

Is GoASU incorrect? I didn't know is ESPN had said already.

[HaveFunKc]

It's not over... Voting is still ongoing. Final winner will not be announced until Jan 7th and E$PN will be doing the announcing (not Fox) from what they keep promoting.

So keep voting! xthumbsupx

[mountaineertider]

That was the play from last year for Auburn.

We gotta keep voting for App, I've already decided that I need about $15k of that money ;).

And plus, I can't see Auburn win anything else.

Just a few more days ...

This will greatly help our ADepartment ...

[biggie]

Anyone know about voting? Looks like it has ended.

[andy7171]

Didn't they show that App State won during the Rose Bowl? I remember seeing the FG block clip in a commercial congratulating ASU on winning.

[gsugt1]

I voted for Trinity a few days back.

[The Moody1]

E$PN will be doing the announcing (not Fox) from what they keep promoting. xthumbsupx


The winner will be announced on Fox during the BCS championship game.

[ERASU2113]

First Take just showed the plays...and they showed only three. They didn't show the ASU play. Was it eliminated?

[HighRyder08]

i just checked the website and it says that auburn won it.. im so dissapointed.. i really thought APP deserved it

[Jiggs]

I'm not sure, but I believe what you are seeing about Auburn winning was last year.

[ERASU2113]

ESPN College Gameday or whatever it is on ESPN2 once again just showed 3 plays.

ASU was not one of them. Anyone know why?

[appstate38]

Can't give it to an FCS school comes to mind. But if you are telling me a field goal kick is a bigger play than blocking one to win the game then the whole thing is rigged. Because how many other games this year were won by a last second field goal. Were those games of any less importance than another mighty SEC battle?

[HighRyder08]

sorry guys i was wrong... i dont know who has won it.... when i went to search it on google i was directed to the winning play from last year... sorry about that

[Appstate29]

we won't know the winner until january 7th

[ERASU2113]

We can still vote for the play. It ends tonight...just follow the link in this article.

http://goasu.com/article/11413/

It let me get to the link, with the four plays just not able to vote.

E$PN/Pontiac must have done something 'screwy' when they loaded the 'RUSH' feature yesterday. It appears they fixed things by this evening. You can go to the site directly and things look like normal again (including voting).

http://www.pontiac.com/ncaa

I nailed multiple votes with no problem a few minutes ago... Now I'm not sure about the cut-off tonight though. I can't find anyting on E$PN or Pontiac's site saying what the cut-off date/time is. Anybody find anything besides GoASU.com???

[AppChicago]

Looks all closed up. Fingers crossed, eh?

[appsfan]

According to an article posted 1/3 on GoASU.com a "contingent of cheerleaders and fans" from ASU will be at the game Monday Night when the Game Changing Performance is awarded. Does that mean we have won? I doubt they would pay for all of the finalists to bring their respective "contingents" there. Can anyone share some insight?
