Game Thread 12/7: Appalachian State vs. Richmond

[AlphaSigMD]

I can't wait for this game to get started.

P.S. The 1st Michigan reference happened less than 10 seconds into the College Football Live programming. Just thought i'd let you all know what you're in for.

There was some nice footage from Boone, NC though.

[LehighFan11]

Yea it game is going to be awesome! I found a line on the game at ASU -4.5 with an O/U of 64 points. We should be in for a show.

[AlphaSigMD]

Yea it game is going to be awesome! I found a line on the game at ASU -4.5 with an O/U of 64 points. We should be in for a show.

Sportsbook has them at -4.0, so I feel confident that most lines will have them right around that area.

I think I would take the Over on points, if I were a betting man.

[mcveyrl]

I should've known better. I'm watching what I thought was going to be a semi-final pre-game show, but it's all FBS, heisman and bowls and blah, blah, blah...

[mcveyrl]

I think I would take the Over on points, if I were a betting man.

I would almost definitely take the over, but I would've taken that over on the JMU game.

[FCSFAN]

ESPN started coverage early

[mcveyrl]

Yep. Speilman just said Edwards is a more accurate passer than Pat White. Nice!

[FCSFAN]

AlphaSigMD is the official counter of Michigan references! xthumbsupx

[Ivytalk]

Looks like a decent ESPN crew for this one!

[BingoPants]

Can someone please post a link to the live stats for this game.

[ERASU2113]

The ASU run in was awsome...fireworks work so much better at night :D

FYI: Richmond has only totalled 37,000 fans at their games all season. Hopefully they are not spooked easily

[RadMann]

Let's go Richmond!!

[umassfan]

The ASU run in was awsome...fireworks work so much better at night :D

FYI: Richmond has only totalled 37,000 fans at their games all season. Hopefully they are not spooked easily

They beat Delaware at Delaware with 22000 fans... they will not be spooked.

[B&G]

Thank you ESPN for some decent announcers. I was dreading Rod Gilmore and Trevor Mattich.

[AlphaSigMD]

horrible call, horrible spot, already

[LehighFan11]

Hightower is playing

[FCS Preview]

first play for richmond
hightower gets 2 or 3 yard

[Peems]

Last year it was The Baylark, this year it's Hightower Power!

[CSUBUCDAD]

Damn, I had no idea that Richmond's defense was so young. Only 2 seniors on the starting roster. Look out FCS these guys are gonna challenge for the next couple of years.

[Peems]

Silence...

[FCS Preview]

big pass out to the 28.

[LehighFan11]

OMG Dexter Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!! Curl route, cuts it aross the field for a Td , sickkkkkkk

[appstate38]

Richmond had better play a little bit faster !!!!

[AlphaSigMD]

Now that was Michigan Game-esque DEXTER JACKSON!

[FCS Preview]

kickoff

[LehighFan11]

Wow ESPN sent a good crew to the game

[FCS Preview]

rip that play out of the playbook

[GoldandBlack]

I'm enjoying this so far-

App State - 7
Richmond - 0

Heck of a catch and run by Jackson!

[Peems]

4.36 for Jackson xeekx

[FCS Preview]

ward no place to go
runs out of bounds
3rd and 2

[AlphaSigMD]

If we can keep up the play on run D like this, it will be really tough to beat us.

[FCS Preview]

incomplete pass
UR has to punt again

[FCS Preview]

terrible tackling on special teams

[lizrdgizrd]

That's two returns where DJ's been caught quickly and broken at least one tackle. xthumbsupx

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 7-0 8:19 1Q

[B&G]

Did someone call The Orkin Man? Where are all of the Spiders posters?

[LehighFan11]

Dexter is a beast. They said 5th-7th round draft pick.

[AlphaSigMD]

4.36 for Jackson xeekx

If you work out mathmatically Ben Johnson's steroid shattering of the 100 yard dash record (its not a simple division, there's something else involved) his 40 yard time was 4.29s. Thats why I never believe anybody out of VA tech who says that their players often break this barrier. On grass. Without trackshoes.

[Peems]

Helena must be big because we have a Wal Mart...

[FCSFAN]

Batishon was like wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open

[DuckDuckGriz]

Helena must be big because we have a Wal Mart...

God that annoyed me too

[lizrdgizrd]

1st Penalty. Late hit on Richmond. #62 Brian DeMoss.

[LehighFan11]

I dont agree if that was called on the guy that tackled armanti

[FCSFAN]

SLC officials

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice hole in the middle!

[LehighFan11]

Armanti has it going on the ground. another 11 yards

[B&G]

Weak late hit call.

[DuckDuckGriz]

1st Penalty. Late hit on Richmond. #62 Brian DeMoss.

Terrible call

[lizrdgizrd]

I dont agree if that was called on the guy that tackled armanti

Yeah, I'm not so sure of it either. :o

[Dblue]

[GoldandBlack]

TD ASU!

Richmond looks nothing like the team I saw last week against Wofford- appears they're running in mud.

I just hope they keep it up for the entire game!xnodx

[FCSFAN]

Michigan reference

[lizrdgizrd]

Is that 2 Michigans now?

[LehighFan11]

Richmond might of ran into a buzzsaw tonight

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 14-0 6:29 1Q

[FCSFAN]

7 yd TD run

[Peems]

Never give up, Never surrender, fight UR fight

[FCSFAN]

Is that 2 Michigans now?where's our official counter??

[JayJ79]

definitely a terrible call. the defender was totally pulling up, and barely bumped into edwards.
Granted, I doubt that that called changed the outcome of the drive, but who knows.

[AlphaSigMD]

Richmond might of ran into a buzzsaw tonight

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, but the App's certainly look like the best team in the nation right now.

[B&G]

It's early, but damn, this is looking like a must-score drive for Richmond.

[AlphaSigMD]

where's our official counter??

Well, we have 2 during the game, and 1 at pregame, so I guess thats 3?

[RazorEdge19]

Its too bad App couldn't go against Wofford's D. Would have been a better game.

[lizrdgizrd]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, but the App's certainly look like the best team in the nation right now.
xnonox

They're executing well right now. Let's hope it continues. xnodx

[FCSFAN]

Michigan reference

[AlphaSigMD]

make that 3 in the game.

[lizrdgizrd]

3 Michigans!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Hey Armanti is on the team that beat Michigan?

[FCSFAN]

Michigan again

[Dblue]

[LehighFan11]

here is a big michigan reference, i think that counts for more than 1

[Dblue]

4

[GoldandBlack]

Its too bad App couldn't go against Wofford's D. Would have been a better game.

Agreed, but we had our shot and blew it.

Go Mountaineers!

[FCS Preview]

nice run back to near the 45

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice return by Richmond.

[AlphaSigMD]

special teams.....

[FCSFAN]

nice runback

special teams

[FCS Preview]

nice pickup on a broken play

[FCSFAN]

Bonds reference

[FCSFAN]

Hightower for the first down

[Peems]

far from over. But it's getting closer to that point every time App touches the ball

[lizrdgizrd]

Almost a sack for Tharrington.

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 14-0 5:00 1Q

[lizrdgizrd]

Time Out Richmond.

[bobbythekidd]

What are the fans saying in the cheer?

[GoldandBlack]

Nice hit on #9!

[RazorEdge19]

Agreed, but we had our shot and blew it.

Go Mountaineers!

I don't think the defense giving up 14 to Richmond and 88 yards to Hightower would be called 'blowing it'....

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice hit on #9!
Great hit! xeekx

[FCSFAN]

UR inside the ASU 30

[FCSFAN]

TD pass to Grayson

[lizrdgizrd]

TD Richmond. Wide open #1.

[LehighFan11]

Ok we got a game. Great drive by Richmond

[B&G]

Give Spiders credit for calmly driving down the field for the TD.

[lizrdgizrd]

Looking to see if he stepped out. Looks like he was in.

Confirmed. TD.

[LehighFan11]

Ah taste of FBS football with the review

[DuckDuckGriz]

Give Spiders credit for calmly driving down the field for the TD.

I agree they were very poised on that - especially after that brutal hit over the middle

[chrebet87]

Ward looked great on that drive

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 14-7 3:35 1Q

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice drive by Richmond. Made the most of the good return. xnodx

[GoldandBlack]

That should loosen up their running game some-

[B&G]

ASU needs to tighten up their kick return coverage. That nice return gave Richmond a needed boost.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Hillary answers with a nice return

[Aho_Old_Guy]

What's the 404 on the eye black on the Richmond QB?

404 Error - File Not Found ?

[FCSFAN]

special teams

[lizrdgizrd]

Nice return by Coco!

[DuckDuckGriz]

What's the 404 on the eye black on the Richmond QB?

404 Error - File Not Found ?

Area code. Reppin his hometown.

[igo4uni]

Did someone call The Orkin Man? Where are all of the Spiders posters?

At the game???

404 Error - File Not Found ?Richmond area code

[GoldandBlack]

Tell me the announcer didn't just say "recognichigan" for "recognition"- talk about having it on the brain-

[lizrdgizrd]

At the game???
Lucky dogs! xmadx xbawlingx xbawlingx

[DuckDuckGriz]

Great job by Edwards shaking off that sack though

[bobbythekidd]

At the game???
Doubt that. App doesn't have enough tickets for the home team's fans.

[DuckDuckGriz]

How big is Cory Lynch

[lizrdgizrd]

Doubt that. App doesn't have enough tickets for the home team's fans.

But Richmond got it's allotment. They don't have a big home crowd, so I bet a lot of them bought those tickets. xnodx

[FCSFAN]

here comes a Michigan recognition............

[AlphaSigMD]

I'd like to give a shoutout to Dr. Cranston, one of the ASU team physicians. He's the Tom Bosley (a.k.a. the father from happy days) look-alike standing next to jerry moore.

[Dblue]

5

[LehighFan11]

Can someone tell me why Richmond doesn't have atleast 1 LB spying edwards?????!!!

[lizrdgizrd]

How big is Cory Lynch
I decline to answer that question on the grounds that my answer may be misinterpreted as a sexual reference. xsmiley_wix

[Peems]

Is there anyway for UR to stop ASU

[FCS Preview]

big throw down by #45

[lizrdgizrd]

WOW. Another huge hole for Armanti.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Jesus give Edwards an inch and he'll take a mile

[FCSFAN]

Sullivan throws down Edwards

[Peems]

Jesus give Edwards an inch and he'll take a mile

What a selfish pr*c* :p

[DuckDuckGriz]

I decline to answer that question on the grounds that my answer may be misinterpreted as a sexual reference. xsmiley_wix
How do you know it already wasn't

[lizrdgizrd]

KRich was a walkon? Really?

[Peems]

Wait, did you guys know that Richardson was a Walk-on

[FCSFAN]

Edwards for the TD

[LehighFan11]

TOUCHDOWN ARMANTI

[GoldandBlack]

This might get ugly-

[lizrdgizrd]

TD Edwards.

[FCS Preview]

wow. 21 points in the first quarter.

[lizrdgizrd]

How do you know it already wasn't
I'd be disappointed if it weren't. xlolx

[TheRock21]

You are NOT stopping our offense!!!

[FCSFAN]

ASU leads UR 21-7 :29 1Q

[B&G]

There was a very telling camera shot of Richmond's defense. They look shell shocked.

[lizrdgizrd]

They've got some nice camera work tonight. That last TD Armanti had just enough room to squeak through.

[DuckDuckGriz]

You are NOT stopping our offense!!!

Yes I am !!!

[DuckDuckGriz]

So do you guys really think that the Mountaineer offense is the same with Trey Elder in?

Another nice kick return

[lizrdgizrd]

Can we get some return coverage? Please?

[FCS Preview]

UR takes over at the 40

[bobbythekidd]

Jesus give Edwards an inch and he'll take a mile
Shouldn't you be out buying your first LEGAL drink?

[caribbeanhen]

Now henfans know why we did that pooch kick off

[FCS Preview]

holy cow! FUMBLE!

APPALACHIAN STATE RECOVERS

[LehighFan11]

Wow not good for richmond....#1 is really nice but mistake right there

[DuckDuckGriz]

Just as I was about to say that the Spiders are killing App on the flats....

[tralfangar]

The rich get richer!

[lizrdgizrd]

So do you guys really think that the Mountaineer offense is the same with Trey Elder in?

Another nice kick return
I think it's close, but there's just not quite as big of a double threat as with Armanti.

FUMBLE! Recovered by ASU!

[chrebet87]

come on...hold on to the ball

[DuckDuckGriz]

He's not nearly as cocky in front of the camera as he was earlier :o

[lizrdgizrd]

SPIERS, oh im sorry i forgot the D and so did Richmond.early to bed tonight, letsw go Hens CAAs last chance.

A LOT of game left to play. xnonox

[FCS Preview]

END of the first quarter

App State 21, UR 7

[DuckDuckGriz]

Spiders better pray for atleast a field goal.

[Aho_Old_Guy]

I hope that Richmond coach wasn't doggin' #1 after that fumble - that was a tuff play . . .

Sorry about the dog reference :)

[lizrdgizrd]

Spiders better pray for atleast a field goal.
Why aren't you out drinking? xrulesx

[caribbeanhen]

spiders need a quick turnover

[B&G]

Richmond's defense looks like they've got 4 cylinders under the hood whil Armanti has got a Hemi.

[umassfan]

They've got some nice camera work tonight. That last TD Armanti had just enough room to squeak through.

Yea it was also a nice tackle by the App olineman to give him that room.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Why aren't you out drinking? xrulesx

It is 5:53 December 7th on the west coast. My bday is the 8th.

Believe me in a few hours or tomorrow you'll be looking alot prettier.

[rOryOs-ASU]

spiders need a quick turnover

need alot more than that!

[lizrdgizrd]

I hope Jerry just keeps the offense going wide open until the game's over. Don't want another EWU.

[BULLDOG8180]

As I have stated, Richmond has no answer for AE.

[erobinson32]

This looks so great in HD. I just got home, and was so happy to see the hd.

[GoldandBlack]

It is 5:53 December 7th on the west coast. My bday is the 8th.

Believe me in a few hours or tomorrow you'll be looking alot prettier.

Are you threatening Lizzy?xlolx

[Peems]

I wonder if Tim Tebow thinks Armanti is a system quarterback.

[caribbeanhen]

Richmond D better figure something out real fast

[OB55]

Speed kills, even spiders.

[caribbeanhen]

looks to easy to easy

[lizrdgizrd]

It is 5:53 December 7th on the west coast. My bday is the 8th.

Believe me in a few hours or tomorrow you'll be looking alot prettier.

Alright! That's the spirit! xlolx xbeerchugx

[DuckDuckGriz]

Are you threatening Lizzy?xlolx

More like a fair warning. :)

[BingoPants]

Does anyone watching this game really care what Tebow did on a bud tour of NYC today?

[caribbeanhen]

greased lighting

[B&G]

Yea it was also a nice tackle by the App olineman to give him that room.

Maybe the Spiders should've signed him to play defense. xviolinx

[DuckDuckGriz]

Come on Armanti act like you've been in the endzone before xrolleyesx

[lizrdgizrd]

Are you threatening Lizzy?xlolx
I think I'm safe. He's in another time zone. :D

[FCS Preview]

TOUCHDOWN EDWARDS!

36 YARD RUN

27-7 APP STATE, PAT PENDING

[DuckDuckGriz]

Does anyone watching this game really care what Tebow did on a bud tour of NYC today?

If his girlfriend is with him and Tim's in jorts today then yes I am.

[GoldandBlack]

Does anyone watching this game really care what Tebow did on a bud tour of NYC today?

Only about his girlfriend, and they haven't even mentioned her once-

[LehighFan11]

Reggie Bush up and over dive...I love armanti!!!!!!!!!!!

[lizrdgizrd]

Come on Armanti act like you've been in the endzone before xrolleyesx
Yeah, that' was low class. I think they're just glad to be finally winning a game by more than 7 points.

[FCS Preview]

14:41 REMAINING, 2nd quarter

App State 28, Richmond 7

[ButlerGSU]

Richmond should have tevo'd Apps games with Wofford and GSU, might would have given them a clue.

[caribbeanhen]

28-7 asu

if theres a positive....lots of football left

[DuckDuckGriz]

This is RIDICULOUS App scored a TD there's jubliation and none of us give two ishts about whether Tebow is going to have soup or salad with his dinner tonight

[Purple For Life]

So did Appalachain State beat Michigan this year or something? xconfusedx

[lizrdgizrd]

[LehighFan11]

Ah App WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[lizrdgizrd]

Special Teams. Special Bus.

[GoldandBlack]

I cannot believe they can't wait to discuss the Heisman until halftime- if you're just listening, it would be hard to remember there's a game going on.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

OMG STFU about Tim Tebow...xmadx

And what's with the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? xconfusedx

[caribbeanhen]

they aint afraid of Rodgers

[DuckDuckGriz]

Special Teams. Special Bus.

xlolx xlolx

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[FCSFAN]

Boone named for Daniel Boone, imagine that

[chrebet87]

big drive for Richmond right now

[FCS Preview]

UR takes over inside the ASU 40

[GoldandBlack]

Yeah, why couldn't they be interviewing Omar Cuff about tomorrow's game?

I'm sure they'll discuss McFadden during the SIU-UD game tomorrow, just to give balanced coverage.

[Peems]

ARMANTI IS A SYSTEM QUARTERBACK xlolx xlolx

[lizrdgizrd]

OMG STFU about Tim Tebow...xmadx

And what's with the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? xconfusedx

Kicks out of bounds.
