Black Saturday Brawl - FURMAN VS APPALACHIAN STATE

[furman94]

The Rivalry is Renewed...

Furman and App State are set to renew a storied conference rivalry in which there have been many thrilling chapters. Furman has not won at the Rock in nearly a decade, and they look to break that curse this Saturday in what should to prove to be another thrilling page in the 2008 Edition of the Furman/App State Game. Furman is coming of a 34-20 victory where they dominated a strong Citadel team. App is coming off of a thrilling win in Statesboro, winning by a point over a powerful GSU team. App looks to be a clear favorite in this game, but Furman proves to be a team that you CAN NOT overlook. Bobby and Co feel confident and energized that they will bring their A+ game to the Highlands this weekend to bring back a Furman victory. Will App fall short to the Paladins or will Furman lose in a heartbreaker? Time will tell!

Predictions? Comments?

[ASU88]

I'm going to say 38-24 App St.

But I would, being a homer and all.

[furman94]

Last Year, App beat a struggling 6-5 Furman team by only one touchdown...

[GaSouthern]

Heart = Furman 45 App State 0

Head = Furman 21 App State 31

[KiddBrewer]

Its going to be a heck of a game, hopefully good weather!

app by 3-7

[AppStateSVX]

gonna be one heck of a game. can't wait. if the weather continues, it'll be a cold one as well

[furman94]

What is the forecast? Cold, Im guessing! Its a cool 60 degrees in Greenville as I type! It was 54 when I left for church!

[theasushow]

hopefully it will be closer than the last time FU came to the rock, i dont see a repeat of 2006.

[furman94]

I see this game as a revenge game from the 2005 playoffs... kinda like a returned favor... just my two pennies :D

[T-Dog]

Furman scores a TD w/ five seconds left to go up 40-35. Players called for excessive celebration, then Lamb blows a gasket, called for another 15 yards. PAT backed up 30 yards, hits the uprights.

Pooch kick, App gets it at own 45, laterals it 12 times, scores TD, wins 41-40, Lamb curls into fetal position, students tear down both goalpost, the new field house, one goal post ends up in Duck Pond, other at Chancellor Peacock's house, new field house winds up on Howard's Knob.

[furman94]

Reverse the outcome and you have yourself a correct prediction!

[appstate38]

High scoring affair. AE goes for at least 5 TD's 4 passing/ 1 running. Sorrells brings his A game and throws for 3 himself. Plus whatever FU gets on the ground but the Apps win 41-35.

[ericsaid]

App's secondary is playing decently and did give up 292 yards through the air against GSU, but Henton threw for under 50% and also had the 2 interceptions(both at the end of the game, yes). I believe the close win was what App needed to elevate their game to their end of the year form.

45-24 App

[catamount man]

Cannot believe it's not on tv this year. I have the '94 and 2000 games on DVD plus the 2005 playoff game on VHS. GREAT RIVALRY!

Good luck to both.

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[PaladinFan]

These numbers seem to be pretty balance when put together. App has an advantage in offense, Furman a defensive advantage. App State the better running game, Furman the better passing game.
App the better rush defense, Furman the better pass defense.

Sounds like we could be in for a high scoring affair.

[ASU88]

All things being even (and I don't think they are quite even ... but let's say close), I'll take the team with Armanti Edwards!

Superman wins games, baby!

[PaladinFan]

Superman wins games, baby!

I agree, he is the x-factor. However, Furman's pass defense was terrible last year, and actually very good this year. If we can dial up whatever magic we used to stop Jayson Foster every year, then I say we go with that.

[HiHiYikas]

ASU, total - 45-ish
FU, offense - 31-ish


but let's not forget...


FU, kick returns - let's hope it's less than 14...pleeeeeease!

[jonmac]

All I know is I'll be there. I'm about 350 miles due east from Boone and don't get to go to a lot of games, so I'm pretty excited. I know that's not that far for some of you guys but it's still a tough trip for me. Don't forget to wear your black, especially you Paladin fansxsmiley_wix xthumbsupx

[GATA]

Is this game on sport south next week? I'd like to check it out. I enjoy watching this rivalry.

315 miles to Boone for me. Driving out on Thursday, back on Saturday night...my last ASU game before fatherhood ruins my ability to travel.

In other news, my unborn son has at least as much ASU gear as his dad -including (and dad is jealous about this) a little #80 jersey.

[ERASU2113]

Outside of GSU...the Paladins are the one program I love to see face off with ASU.

I'll be there - in the student section somewhere xthumbsupx

[T-Dog]

I'll be there in black. xthumbsupx

[furman94]

I'll be there in Purple and White!

[Reign of Terrier]

Moore studies Elon game film, wins 48-23 because App doesn't play the second half.

[furman94]

Forecast for Saturday is a high of 57 with a COLD rain... its set to SNOW on Tuesday!

[proasu89]

Is this game on sport south next week? I'd like to check it out. I enjoy watching this rivalry.

It's not.

[AppStsGr8]

Can't wait for this one. We'll actually have Furman fans / family tailgating with us in the Stadium lot. We'll be easy to spot as I'm sure we'll have the only non-black clad folks in the whole area. It'll be easy to be polite before the game ... once kickoff comes, it's all APP for me!

[furman94]

Yeah... I'll have the fam with me so Appies, please be cordial!

[AppAlum2003]

Cannot believe it's not on tv this year. I have the '94 and 2000 games on DVD plus the 2005 playoff game on VHS. GREAT RIVALRY!

Good luck to both.

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

What is this "VHS" you speak of? xconfusedx

[SideLine Shooter]

Yeah... I'll have the fam with me so Appies, please be cordial!

Like the gsu fans, even the young ones.

[PaladinFan]

It might be interesting if there is cold rain. App runs the ball a lot more than Furman these days, but the Paladins, I think, a more built for a brawl in the trenches.

[ASUMountaineer]

Last Year, App beat a struggling 6-5 Furman team by only one touchdown...

And we won the title. Doubt it means much. I think it will be a close game with maybe some easy points tacked on at the end. Of course I will pick Appalachian to win, probably something like 41-32, but who knows. It depends on which Vermin team shows up and if App can put together 4 solid quarters. Regardless, GO APPS!

[Death Dealer]

I'll be at my dad's 67th birthday bash! My brother (a Coastal alum) and I are roasting a pig. My sister (an Appy alum, we are an FCS family) is organizing everything else. We'll have the game on the radio, and my brother will be in charge of keeping my sister and I from each others throats!xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[biggie]

Look forward to being there in black. Seems like its been to long without a home game to go to.

Looks like 40 deg Saturday morning with some rain. Mid 50's in the afternoon.

[Bulldog87]

APP State 31- Furman 27.

[FurmanPaladins4138]

ASU, total - 45-ish


Do you really think App is going to hang 45 on the Paladins?

[mountain_man]

Do you really think App is going to hang 45 on the Paladins?

xnodx

I do...

[PaladinFan]

Strange, because Furman is giving up an average of 20 ppg on defense.

[appfan2008]

Do you really think App is going to hang 45 on the Paladins?

yes

[appfan2008]

my prediction is 45-35 App (of course...)

I will be there in black and my wife may not be able to make the trip :( may be the first time in my life going to an app game without her... and we have not missed an app home game since we were freshman in 04... we have even hit up about half the away games in that time... but it sure will be weird as hell without her...

[PaladinFan]

yes

Sorry, in 2006 when App routed Furman they only scored 40. This is a much better team than that one and playing very solid on defense. App may win, but I'd be suprised if they get up around 40 points. I'd expect both teams to be in the low 30s high 20s.

[appfan2008]

hhmmm... app scores points... period... it sure will be funny to watch you try to stop us.... the only thing that will keep you under forty (and you may be over forty also) is the possibility of rain...

I don't know. Screw it, we're due. FU by less than 3.xpopcornx

is anyone else a little worried about a "black out"? we have tried that once in our history and well we know what happened with GSU last year... dont you all think we ought to just leave it at black saturday and move on...

[APPStrongNC]

Current forecast is:
Saturday: A chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 53. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 39.

Which means the NWS has no idea what is going to happen. However, Looks to be some good Football weather. Just hope the rain holds off or is all Friday Night and Early Saturday Morning. In Boone at 8am for me. No predictions for this weekend, im still getting over the GSU game last weekend...
WEAR BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Congrats on your new family. FWIW, bringing the little one to ball games is GREAT family time. Especially if you can get momma to come too.

It wasn't the black out, it was those darn thunder sticks. If you see any Saturday pop 'em. We have had Black Saturdays for a long time. Heck, every Saturday used be called Black Saturday. I think we should return to that tradition.

[T-Dog]

I never did get the point of having GOLD (actually yellow) Thudersticks for a BLACKOUT game.xsmhx

[biggie]

Completely agree, the thunder sticks were the downfall last year.

[ASUG8]

I can't wait! This will be my first game live at the refurbed stadium, and I just hope the weather holds out so it's not miserable there. Rain and 53 degrees at kickoff will drop the crowd down a bit - I want to see this rivalry packed out at the Rock!

[neersnbeers]

What he said! If you can't make it give your tix to someone who can. It may be a little damp and cool, but the louder you yell, the warmer you are! Time to get loud!!

[AppIAA]

I must have 50 of them at my house! I save my H20 bottles and turn em into Furman Martinis. I get some wierd looks from the hand sitters at the games when I shake em though!

No problem. Rain & 53 degrees (max.) weather will only get rid of the bandwagon fans. Good riddance!

The fans that matter will be there.

if it rains it rains. but it is gametime and I will be in Boone all day long....

[apppackdad]

The game is at THE ROCK. Too much history for Furman. Also too much Arnanti.

[Appaholic]

Funny you should say that. I was just watching the replay of our game and noticed the nice lady from GSU giving that cowbell the what for.xwhistlex

You sure it was a lady? I mean, it was in Statesboro.....I'm just sayin'....

[FUwolfpacker]

Also too much Arnanti.

Never heard of him. xeyebrowx

:pxsmiley_wix

[apppackdad]

3 Scotch and sodas and you would have! But we both love the PACK!

[FUwolfpacker]

But we both love the PACK!

God help us xsmhx

:D

[APPStrongNC]

The forecast is:
Friday Night: Rain, mainly after 2am. Low around 47. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

Saturday: Rain, mainly before 2pm. High near 57. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

I like that Rain Before 2pm statement. Hopefully this will continue to be pushed back to no rain after early morning. Looks like I need to buy a new poncho xthumbsupx

[PaladinFan]

rain baby rain.

[gofurman]

If this was asked earlier in the thread I apologize - don't have time to read it all:

TO App fans:
Who all is injured as starters?

I know you lost Devon Moore at RB.

*At DE aren't the LSU transfer (preseason) and Tharrington (preseason) and Tony Robertson (injury) all 3 out??

*What about Quavian Lewis at DE?

*Also, is Dominique McDuffie out at CB?
*James Hill - receiver is he out?

Any others - info/help is appreciated...???

You guys are playing very well for all those injuries -esp at one position - I have to say.

We are missing RJ Webb at recvr... Chancellor at Center.... and Mike Brown is iffy this week (bruised ribs).... Brown would be a real hurt as he is one of our best speedsters/game breakers.

[asu70]

Lost DE Washington and Tharrington before the season.
Lost DE Tony Roberson, CB D. McDuffie, and RB D. Moore to injury for the year.
DE Q. Lewis missed one game due to injury but has played in the last 2 games, J. Fletcher and L. Tanyi have been playing with injuries that are not bad enough to keep them from playing given the above problems at DE.
Starting nickle Leonard Love played one series at GS and was in a soft cast on crutches for the rest of the game. I don't know his status for this weeks game.
RB Robert Welton missed last weeks game with a separated shoulder may be out for the next 2 games... I haven't seen an update on his status.

[asu70]

GOFURMAN, you asked about WR James Hill, he's missed several games with injury but I haven't seen his status for the Furman game.

[biggie]

GOFURMAN, you asked about WR James Hill, he's missed several games with injury but I haven't seen his status for the Furman game.

Saw it noted that he was in uniform last week, but no status update.

Seems we've become "Pats-like" on injury updates.

[asu70]

I was at the game and noted that he dressed out.... but I didn't see him in the game.

[asucrutch23]

I have a class with Leonard Love. He came in pretty gimpy on Tuesday. I can ask Thursday what his official status is. We need him for Sorrells and that Furman passing game.

[biggie]

Think I just saw that Love and Welton are questionable. But if Love doesn't have a cast/walking boot in class that is at least a better sign.

[asucrutch23]

Think I just saw that Love and Welton are questionable. But if Love doesn't have a cast/walking boot in class that is at least a better sign.

Yeah, he was just on crutches. No boot/walking cast. Indeed a good sign. He said he was able to walk OK and that the crutches were just precautionary. May have more info tomorrow on him. If not, we'll find out Saturday. GO APPS!! xnodx xnodx xnodx

[AppStsGr8]

Thanks for the update. Please keep us posted.

[Black Saturday]

hhmmm... app scores points... period... it sure will be funny to watch you try to stop us.... the only thing that will keep you under forty (and you may be over forty also) is the possibility of rain...

or Coach Moore.xrotatehx

[appirishmen]

This will be an interesting game. It will be nice to see if our guys can learn from the GS game and play like we all know they can. If our D shows up then i will say FU will put up about 14, but with how our D has played i am going to say:


41-31
App. FU will keep our passing to a min but AE will lead the way rushing.

[biggie]

Furman tickets no longer listed on the online ticket page. Sold out?

It would not surprise me if they are. Every home game this year has been sold out.xnodx :D

[biggie]

Yes, but give the bad weather and there looked to be quite a few tickets left yesterday, I wouldn't have expected quite this soon. Either way I think the stands will be, unfortunely, not a full capacity.

Even my friends, who use to be good fans, are now talking about going up later and a couple not going at all. Looks like I may be driving seperately to get my Cottonwood drink on early enough for my liking.

[mountaineertider]

Yea thats true. I am a student and i know that the guest tickets are sold out. He should have said that all of the games have been sold out but at the presby game a lot of people didnt come because of the weather.

[appfan2008]

I sure hope people dont stay away because of the weather :(... it is boone it is october... get over it and get you butt up there... you better believe i will be rocking up there in 216 in my season ticket spot!

Ahh, Cottonwood. I'm right there with you. Did I hear you say before you tailgate up at Greenwood? If you're down on campus stop by up on the thrid floor of the Rivers St. deck and share a Pumpkin Ale with us.

[biggie]

We actually have a Rivers St deck pass, but usually tailgate in the gravel lot at the corner of Rivers/Waters.

I have a 2 growlers of Pumkin from the brewery (only one will still exist to make the trip to Boone Sat) and also a growler of Red, Wheat, and Blue from there (Blueberry Wheat beer).

The brewery in Mooresville was packed this past Saturday, very popular now-a-days.

[FurmanPaladins4138]

What's the status of Furman RB Mike Brown?

[furman94]

He had a bruised shoulder last I heard... he should be fine IMO

[apppackdad]

31-21 App. App leads early. Furman makes late first half, early second half run fueled by special team play. App secures the win with one or two big defensive plays, and a long range quick strike touchdown. Vuja de all over again! Vuja de "the feeling that I may have been here before, but I never want to be here again."---- Bobby Lamb.

[APPStrongNC]

bring on the rain. Plan to be in boone at 8am ready to go...

[furman94]

What will the crowd look like in a cold rainy day?

[PaladinFan]

Sure hope Brown can go. I'd expect that he will be, but he's definitely a game changer. He had a number of big runs against ASU last year. Due a breakout game.

[SCPALADIN]

[billya]

Just posting so my signature pic shows up in this thread that was a great game. Tripping over the 4 yard line. Priceless xsmiley_wix

[biggie]

Apparently the rain system is picking up speed, rain may be gone before Noon. Should help the crowd hopefully. Should have 28k even with rain though.

Sweet. I've tailgated there before, good spot. Spent some time with Saluki fans there for the game in the 2005 playoffs. I will have a growler of Battlefield Bock from Red Oak brewery (got my buddy making a stop). Cannot wait to do it one more time against Vermin. xthumbsupx

Apparently the rain system is picking up speed, rain may be gone before Noon. Should help the crowd hopefully. Should have 28k even with rain though.

Lets hope it continues with more speed and is only showery come Saturday morning and sunny come 3:30 Saturday Afternoon. Either way going to wet in the morning in Boone.

What will the crowd look like in a cold rainy day?

Wet.

We'll still be grillin' at the usual time ... not part of any fair weather bunch. It's always good weather for football.:D

and a few thousand less... maybe 27k or 28 instead of 30k

[appfan2008]

I will be there regardless but for my health's sake I hope it doesnt rain!

GOFURMAN, you asked about WR James Hill, he's missed several games with injury but I haven't seen his status for the Furman game.


Thanks for the updates - I will say that you guys have been hit pretty hard by the injury bug this year. Speaks to your depth that you have continued to win. Esp at DE, tough to lose so many there - and such good ones!

Hill is listed as probable. But he seems to be very unused this season so far anyway.

LAST MINUTE QUESTION before the purple Explorer leaves the garage... can we bring our Stadium Flag?

LAST MINUTE QUESTION before the purple Explorer leaves the garage... can we bring our Stadium Flag?

The Kidd-Brewer FAQ says
Prohibited items include
• Alcoholic beverages
• Coolers or containers
• Weapons of any kind and explosives
• Food & beverages
• Pets (except for service animals)
• Umbrellas
• Artificial noisemakers

That makes it sound like the stadium flag is ok unless you put it in a cooler, blow it up, get drunk on it, or use it as a noisemaker. I guess some will depend on the "bag check brigade" as you come in.

See you at The ROCK!

Give it to a cheerleader to get it in for you.

[SCPALADIN]

blow it up!


You'd like that wouldn't you...xsmiley_wix

From Booneweather.com..

"The rain will continue into tonight before ending by daybreak Saturday."

Rain 'should' be gone by most get out to tailgate, but it will still be wet. Hopefully it wont affect the crowd too much.

Why are they handing out "Thunder Sticks"??

[asu3peat]

I had some people bail on me, so I have 2 extra tix for 'Black Saturday'. I'll be on AGS until about 10:15 before heading up the mountain. Hit me up if anyone is interested in going.

[Edge316007]

I know it's way late notice, but flags are allowed.
