WCU vs. ASU Game Thread

[CharlestonAppFan]

Let's get it started a lil early today....AE not starting today, D. Presley in at QB. For those of you not in the know, this is our AE clone. Actually, IMO Presley is faster than AE xeekx but no one knows the level of his "it" factor just yet. Should be a good rivalry game, no matter how bad the kitty kats are this year. Just look at Meechigan and O State today, closer than you may realize....I expect the same intensity and effort from both teams. Good luck kittens xthumbsupx

Disclaimer: I actually attended West Carolina for 1 1/2 years before I realized what was going on :o xeyebrowx I had to transfer to the real mountain college, but made some great friends (& frat brothers....I'm a Sig Ep from there) along the way.

[appstate1998]

if Pressley can hold onto the ball we should be fine with him as the starter

[jmufan999]

kickoff time?

[CharlestonAppFan]

kickoff time?

3:00

[jonmac]

I hate it, but you guys are gonna do it without me today. I'm getting ready to go out with our Sunday School class and Christmas shop for a needy family and then have dinner. I'll leave it you guys to pull us through. I also hate to miss Presley's start. But at least I'll be in Boone next Saturday. GOAPPSGO!!!!!!!!!!!

[jmufan999]

i take it by the somewhat tepid reaction of AE being out that it will still be a slaughter with Pressley? be honest.

[Jerbearasu]

honestly I wouldn't be worried if hunter Stewart (3rd string qb) had to start.

[appstate1998]

Matt Cline starting at RB

[CharlestonAppFan]

i take it by the somewhat tepid reaction of AE being out that it will still be a slaughter with Pressley? be honest.

I think we all feel like Presley has shown that he is more than capable of taking over the reins with games against opponents that aren't as strong as some others. WCU gives up a lot of rushing yards and like I said earlier, Presley is faster than AE and can be more elusive than him as well. The thing that makes us fans do this xeyebrowx is the # of fumbles he has this year. If he can keep that in check and gets the passing game going too, it may be a game decided by more than 3 TD's. If not and his fumblitis is in full gear, then we may have a problem.

[appstate1998]

Game ON!!

[appstate1998]

FUMBLE

[CharlestonAppFan]

fumble already...WCU ball

[appstate1998]

at least it wasn't pressley......

4th down for WCU on App 45...punt formation.

Touchback...whew, dodged a bullet

[jus10asu]

Punt
...Apps take over at the 20.

[Edge316007]

Nevermind, a punt that went for a TB. Bad net

[jus10asu]

I donno about that fumble...I've watched it 6 times now and I swear he was down...But oh well, doesn't matter at this point.

[AppStateold299]

If anyone is in the south it is on sportsouth

[jus10asu]

Yep

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Just take it to Western-make them try to stop us.

[appstate1998]

[Edge316007]

Wow is Pressley fast

[jus10asu]

Presley 20 yard run.

[jus10asu]

Haha....WCU get off of the field!!!

[CharlestonAppFan]

Edit...besides that one

[CharlestonAppFan]

[jus10asu]

[AppIAA]

[CharlestonAppFan]

[AppIAA]

i thought WCU offensive line is weak? they are opening holes left and right in this game..

[Edge316007]

Come on App

[CharlestonAppFan]

wow...WCU QB has an arm. they are moving the ball against us with ease

[CharlestonAppFan]

4th down...WCU receiver dropped the ball. punt coming up

both offenses moving the ball between the 20's but nothing else.

[CharlestonAppFan]

2nd string Qb, 4th string RB....not gettin it done so far for us

4th down...no offense at all that series

1st & 10 WCU on App 48

[Edge316007]

[AppStateold299]

Am I really seeing AppState getting outplayed by WCU? WTF is going on here? Wake up guys!

[mountaineertider]

No way that was a pass interference

[Edge316007]

Wow...phantom PI call from a ref on the other side of the field

[Edge316007]

ANOTHER PI call? Come the **** on

[CharlestonAppFan]

another pass interference on App...freakin jesus!!!!!!

[mountaineertider]

the one in the EZ was

[AppStateold299]

2 pass interference calls in a row!

[appstate1998]

wow

[AppChicago]

Yikes. We need to remove our heads from our hind-parts.

[AppStateold299]

This is a pathetic start for ASU

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

This is kind of how the GSU-WCU game started. Penalties, poor execution on offense by GSU, and boneheaded penalties.

TD Western

[appstate1998]

wow app's d line just fell asleep

[Edge316007]

WCU scores first. Embarrassing first quarter

[CharlestonAppFan]

f&!!#%$ing TD West Carolina

[rcny46]

Not to worry.Just think of it as a little bump in the road.

[KiddBrewer]

alright now fellas, lets step it up now, enough playing around...id rather not be embarrased for a year.....

[AppStateold299]

let's actually get a freaking first down

[appstate1998]

nice return by CoCo

[furman94]

Wow! Go Western!

[AppIAA]

the first PI was definitely not PI.. the second one was though..

LETS GO OFFENSE!

[CharlestonAppFan]

nice first pass by DP...now, let's get it freakin going guys! Did everybody change their routine this morning or something? I've got my App hat on, but I'm not listening to DJ and Brownie...must be my fault

[Edge316007]

Wow! Go Western!

Go Wofford?

[crossfire07]

2 pass interference calls in a row!

and they were both good calls too.

[AppStateold299]

almost

[Edge316007]

and they were both good calls too.

First one wasn't even close to legit


Another 3 and out

[CharlestonAppFan]

4th down....DP needs to get the ball out of his hands quicker if he's gonna pass

[appstate1998]

ok LeGree get us back in it

[ericappstate]

and they were both good calls too.

You listening on the radio? 1st was not even close.

[KiddBrewer]

ok LeGree get us back in it

ha, and crazy thing is, he can at any moment.xthumbsupx

[alexale23]

[CharlestonAppFan]

Score???

App 0
WCU 7

[appstate1998]

how bout offensive pass interference

[ericappstate]

Offensive pass interference is Pierre's was

[appvette]

and they were both good calls too.

1-800-Contacts

[Edge316007]

How is that not a PI if the first App one was?

[AppStFan76]

I believe that was a bit of offensive PI

[CharlestonAppFan]

4th down WCU...good defensive series..Scottie McGee where are you when we need you? oh wait..wrong thread

[AppStFan76]

Gotta keep pressure on their QB....Blitz all day long!

[Edge316007]

Let's get a good drive goin here

[StrikeJMU]

on the bench with Landers, resting up.

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

If we can even up the score we can break some of Western's momentum. Just run straight at them and make them stop us.

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Nice job Coco!!!

[appstate1998]

I love watching Hillary run lol

[CharlestonAppFan]

Coco ran 40 yards for 11 xlolx 1st down.And that's another Mountaineer first down...

[Edge316007]

I'm afraid of what happens if Pressley gets hurt

[AppStFan76]

CoCo runs 60 yrds to gain 11!!

"catch me if you can"

[CharlestonAppFan]

I'm afraid of what happens if Pressley gets hurt

none of that in here! xsmhx

[appstate1998]

I'm afraid of what happens if Pressley gets hurt

well CoCo was recruited as a QB

[CharlestonAppFan]

way too many 4th downs so far....1st & 10 on WCU 19

[AppStFan76]

Nice run DP...almost had the TD!!

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Smack 'em in the mouth now-come on!

[mountaineertider]

TD APP!

[Edge316007]

TD Pressley

[AppStFan76]

I think the Mountaineers have found their groove....watch out Kittys, Dp and Co. are comin' for ya!

[Edge316007]

Potential wrench into the #2 seed, Cal Poly beating Wisconsin 7-0

[jus10asu]

Here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[appvette]

D Press is fantastic on the fake handoff... he's fooled me several times!

[CharlestonAppFan]

fumble...ASU football on WCU 24 yard line!!

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Fumble-our ball!

[Appstate29]

If we win we will be the #2 seed I think and ASU ball. It STILL is WCU

[appstate1998]

ASU BALL BIG FUMBLE

[jus10asu]

FUmble we have it!!!

[Edge316007]

Fumble!

[AppStFan76]

Can you say mommentum change boys and girls??!!

[jus10asu]

WE need to convert!!

[CharlestonAppFan]

1st & 10 on WCU 13 yard line...driving in

DP building confidence with each down

[jus10asu]

There we go boys...........whoooooo

[jus10asu]

Presley is poundin it in Armanti style!!

[Hoyadestroya85]

How's Pressley doing?

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Kick the field goal.

[CharlestonAppFan]

Looks like DP can break it outside for more yards if he bounces out there....big 4th down

[jus10asu]

Horrible Spot!!!

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

How's Pressley doing?

Pretty good, but I think we'd have a good size lead with AE.

[Edge316007]

Huge stop for Western...

[CharlestonAppFan]

WTF is Satterfield calling? 2 weeks in a row now....give DP the ball on an option outside...

[jus10asu]

We didn't we run that to the outside? Or kick a FG?

[Appstate29]

should have gone with the FG there....

[Edge316007]

What a hit by Legree!

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Nice hit by Legree.

[appstate1998]

LeGree you are one hell of a player

[ericappstate]

Any reason Henneesee is in?

[appstate1998]

WTF is Satterfield calling? 2 weeks in a row now....give DP the ball on an option outside...

agreed

[appstate1998]

big stop

[AppAlum2003]

Any reason Henneesee is in?

Every single RB is hurt?

[Edge316007]

Wow...he was wide open. Lucky break, but 3 an dout

[jus10asu]

4th down WCU on own 5.... App will take the punt...Good hold by ASU

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Any reason Henneesee is in?

For real. Trey is a senior (and from Morganton so I've watched him for a while) who was recruited to play RB, but he has been playing TE and mostly playing on special teams. We need to win so even if AE can't play, I don't see any reason for the other starters not to play.

[CharlestonAppFan]

good lord...INT by WCU

[Edge316007]

Unbelievable...

[jus10asu]

Dumb late hit crap

[Edge316007]

Come on Pressley, play smarter than that

[Edge316007]

Pass interference on the offense again, uncalled. One sided refs or what?

[mountaineertider]

wow another missed offensive pass interference on Western.

For as bad as we've played, it's still tied.

[jus10asu]

We def. should have kicked the FG.

[CharlestonAppFan]

so we move the ball running, but now we abandon the option outside with DP and start passing? I'm not sure what to think...guess I'm one of those armchair QB's. not second guessing but WCU's D is a lil winded by us running....huh..

[ericappstate]

Does Western think that recievers have a halo rule? Calling for a flag on every pass.

[mountaineertider]

10-7 WCU

[Edge316007]

FG Good

[CharlestonAppFan]

FG WCU

WCU 10
ASU 7

[Appstate29]

10-7 Cantamounts

[Reign of Terrier]

GO WESTERN!!!!

[APPStrongNC]

man what a game so far......
might should have madt the drive to wheee....

[Edge316007]

Catch the ball Coco...

[Edge316007]

Wasted possesion. WCU gets the ball back

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

We're making the Cat D look awesome.

[nmatsen]

at least you are not tied with Southern Utah

[CharlestonAppFan]

3 straight passes....

reminder: WCU gives up over 200 yards rushing a game

[Edge316007]

Everything that can go wrong, is.

Hold on to the ****ing ball

[ASU_jvc]

Where is our O at?

[CharlestonAppFan]

are the ghosts of VMI and WCU past here at this game?

fumble freakin ASU...

[APPStrongNC]

catch the ball BJ.............damn

[appstate1998]

just playing very very sloppy ball

[appstate1998]

what was legree thinking

[ericappstate]

what was legree thinking


Blocking the Western players I hope.

[CharlestonAppFan]

god awful 1st half by ASU

if WCU had an offense they would be killing us...and rightfully so

[Edge316007]

As bad as App is playing, they're only down 3. Shows you how bad Western is

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Yeah-boneheaded playing by our guys. Come out fired up in the second half.

[AlphaSigMD]

Wow. Gotta be better than this to win... This is Western's bowl game, and can justify their entire season...

[Appguy]

why are we not running the ball other than qb scrambles? I know weltons hurt but wheres radford?

also - at what point do you put Armanti in if it continues?

[AppStateSVX]

come on Apps, this is ridiculous. Offense needs to settle down and get moving

[AppIAA]

Radford is still hurt as well..

[Reign of Terrier]

I hope the Post-Armanti era looks like this xsmiley_wix . I doubt it will thoughxbawlingx

[appstate1998]

Blocking the Western players I hope.

he came close to touching the ball at the 2 yard line with his foot which would have given western a touchdown....his hands weren't up and he was looking at the ball chasing it not blocking

[CharlestonAppFan]

I hope the Post-Armanti era looks like this xsmiley_wix . I doubt it will thoughxbawlingx

I guess we'll see.....




in 2010 xsmiley_wix

[Dixiedawg80]

Lets go Apps, time to roll in the second half.

[Reign of Terrier]

I think Western should try running the ball, passing has gotten them practically nothing the last couple drives.

[Edge316007]

NICE first defensive stand

[CharlestonAppFan]

good field position for ASU..on 40 of WCU. we're goin in!!!

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Good field position-let's do something with it.

[Edge316007]

Come on Presley, better throws

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Good run DP!

[theasushow]

bout time!

[appstate1998]

wow....we decided to run and look what happens....what is the deal with the play calling....

[theasushow]

td stands!

[Edge316007]

Touchdown App, there we go

[CharlestonAppFan]

wow....we decided to run and look what happens....what is the deal with the play calling....

I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY AGREE!!! xnodx xnodx it's as quick as that when we RUN the ball with our speed guys


ASU 14
WCU 10

[mountaineertider]

POOF...and the App haters magically disappear.

[appvette]

Three observations... DP has a great arm, DP is protecting the ball, and Sports South sucks!

[woffordgrad94]

POOF...and the App haters magically disappear.

No they don't! xsmiley_wix

[KiddBrewer]

ha lets not get ahead of ourselves now

[KiddBrewer]

ha they just said deandre was getting a complimentary talking to.....bet they didnt know it was from the chaplin and not a coach

[CharlestonAppFan]

Sack...I'm liking what I'm seeing in the 2nd half here

[FCS Go!]

I'm sure its been mentioned but what's AE's status? Hurt, resting, missing....?

[CharlestonAppFan]

I'm sure its been mentioned but what's AE's status? Hurt, resting, missing....?

hip pointer...sitting out this game for the playoffs but will be ready next Saturday

[FCS Go!]

Thanks.

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

I'm sure its been mentioned but what's AE's status? Hurt, resting, missing....?

More or less resting, however he is hurt (a little) and we are missing him.xrulesx

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Nice pass and catch!

[igo4uni]

score?? time left??

[Edge316007]

TD Press

21-10 6:00 in the 3rd

[CharlestonAppFan]

TD Jorden!! I was wondering where he has been today

IGO...it's

ASU 21
WCU 10

6 minutes left in 3rd

[Reign of Terrier]

Western is coming back to reality

[AppStateSVX]

wooohoooo. offense looks to finally be settling in

[appstate1998]

WOW Sportsouth just let the guy saying F$*# about 10 times

[Edge316007]

Love the App! State! chant in Cullowhee

[CharlestonAppFan]

Presley has 3 TD's today....2 rushing, 1 passing

[CharlestonAppFan]

3rd straight 3 & out for WCU in 2nd half...defense is stepping up big time

[neersnbeers]

Sam Wiech(sp?) needs to be punched in the mouth. Naysayer!

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

DeAndre 123 yards passing and a TD, 105 rushing with 2 TDs.

[appstate1998]

lol the announcer just wondered what happened to the WCU offense from the first half. Is it just me or did their offense stink in the first half too. We kept turning the ball over and then helped them with back to back pass interference calls.

But I did find it funny how he just said there is nothing to do in Cullowhee lol. "you come here for the mountains, not the nightlife"

[CharlestonAppFan]

1st & 10 ASU on WCU 47 yard line

3rd quarter 1:15 left
ASU 21
WCU 10

[appstate1998]

jeez that WCU coach is gonna have a stroke

[CharlestonAppFan]

jeez that WCU coach is gonna have a stroke

xnodx xlolx xlolx he wants that jug doesn't he? xeyebrowx

[appstate1998]

I think he was screaming "GO SNEAK IT OUT OF THEIR TRUCK" "THE TRUCK" "DID YOU HEAR ME?? THE TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[blitz4]

App is an average team in the socon without AE. Period.

[CharlestonAppFan]

App is an average team in the socon without AE. Period.

that's wishful thinking when this is our freshman QB's 1st start of his career xeyebrowx ....oh by the way, he has 2 rushing TD's, 1 passing TD, 150 yards passing, 110 yards rushing and it's only in the 3rd quarter xnodx

[Edge316007]

App is an average team in the socon without AE. Period.

Not Presley's fault that receivers have been dropping balls, returners have been fumbling, phantom penalties have been called, ect.

[appstate1998]

App is an average team in the socon without AE. Period.

Man what does that say about the Terriers then??? When he left the game App outscored them 21-0

[appstate1998]

TD JACKSON

[CharlestonAppFan]

TD App!! J. Jackson

ASU 28
WCU 10

[blitz4]

Haha,

Just wait till we get back to boone in a few weeks.

[Edge316007]

Not if you open the playoffs against JMU, which seems to be likely.

[CharlestonAppFan]

Haha,

Just wait till we get back to boone in a few weeks.

Can't wait xthumbsupx don't think you will score as much as you did last time xsmiley_wix

[B&G]

App is an average team in the socon without AE. Period.

It's quite a luxury when you can be up by 18 with your backup QB and 4th string RB playing the entire game.

[appstate1998]

Haha,

Just wait till we get back to boone in a few weeks.

You like App football that much to come watch us play in the Playoffs. But why would you want to watch us beat the team you lose to in the first round???

[KiddBrewer]

App is an average team in the socon without AE. Period.

ha then wofford must be down right TERRIBLE ...if in fact we're "average" without Armanti Edwards. you seriously think we could only beat the lower half of the southern conference without AE? hmmmxeyebrowx

[appstate1998]

It's quite a luxury when you can be up by 18 with your backup QB and 4th string RB playing the entire game.

I thought Cline was the 5th stringer? Wasn't it Moore, Red, Welton, Jackson, Cline?

[appstate1998]

HOLDING I HOPE

[KiddBrewer]

ill give you this much. App is an average team in the socon without jerry moore and our coaching/recruiting staff.

[blitz4]

yadda yadda yadda. you guys know you dont want us to come back to boobe...excuse me boone. haha

[appstate1998]

yadda yadda yadda. you guys know you dont want us to come back to boobe...excuse me boone. haha

Nope I like watching quality football in the playoffs, not beatdowns.

[Edge316007]

Yeah, instead of winning by 46, they might only win by 21.

[CharlestonAppFan]

yadda yadda yadda. you guys know you dont want us to come back to boobe...excuse me boone. haha

how bout you just go and beat JMooo and we'll see ya in Chatty? Truce?

[KiddBrewer]

Nope I like watching quality football in the playoffs, not beatdowns.


DITTO!

[AppChicago]

yadda yadda yadda. you guys know you dont want us to come back to boobe...excuse me boone. haha

Wow. You didn't see the last App/Wofford game, did you? Or listen to it? Or hear the score?

Don't let the first half of play in today's game fool you: App State is still a team that any program in FCS ball should take very seriously. With or without AE.

[appstate1998]

Wow these announcers are rediculous...he just said he thinks Montana may slip into the playoffs haha....

[CharlestonAppFan]

this game is getting boring now...

6 minutes left in 4th

[AppChicago]

Wow these announcers are rediculous...he just said he thinks Montana may slip into the playoffs haha....

On the App broadcast? I was kinda enjoying DJ and Brown's little chat about Wagner's resemblance to Nikita Koloff...

[B&G]

Put in Hunter Stewart! The fans want to see the human victory cigar.

[appstate1998]

They should put Armanti in and put in there long snapper and have him take the snap 15-20 yards downfield and just let him launch some balls to Quick for fun

[KiddBrewer]

ha these announcers know less about FCS than the ESPN crews do.....AND THEY WORK FOR "SPORTSOUTH SOCON SATURDAY"! ha. fail

[appstate1998]

On the App broadcast? I was kinda enjoying DJ and Brown's little chat about Wagner's resemblance to Nikita Koloff...

nah watching it on Sportsouth

and they think Montana may slip in and Wofford has a good chance of slipping in as well based off their "strength of conference" as he put it. I should have turned the sound off and watched and listened to DJ instead

[Reign of Terrier]

how bout you just go and beat JMooo and we'll see ya in Chatty? Truce?

truce.

[appstate1998]

Random Fact....Trey Hennessee used to date Ric Flairs daughter

[KiddBrewer]

nah watching it on Sportsouth

and they think Montana may slip in and Wofford has a good chance of slipping in as well based off their "strength of conference" as he put it. I should have turned the sound off and watched and listened to DJ instead

yea i would have done that too, DJ and the boys are ahead of the tv broadcast. i just turned off the sound on the tv and turned up led zepplin.

[appstate1998]

TD APP...Pressley on the keeper

[KiddBrewer]

TD 34-10

[Edge316007]

TD Presley

[CharlestonAppFan]

Presley 4 TD's

156 rushing yards, 3 TD's
158 yards passing, 1 TD

how's that for a freshman who is starting his 1st game?

[KiddBrewer]

didnt somebody say app was average without armanti.......

[appstate1998]

On the App broadcast? I was kinda enjoying DJ and Brown's little chat about Wagner's resemblance to Nikita Koloff...

lol...minus about 200 pounds.....did he use any Russian Sickle references

[CharlestonAppFan]

and there is the JUG...peacock always has his props!

[appstate1998]

I wish I had Peacock for a chancellor when I was there. Every time I talk to him in person he is so proud of the school and is what you want in a representative of your alma mater

[Edge316007]

Hunter Stewart is such a great QB I wish he would play more

[AppChicago]

Put in Hunter Stewart! The fans want to see the human victory cigar.

And in he goes. :)

[KiddBrewer]

I wish I had Peacock for a chancellor when I was there. Every time I talk to him in person he is so proud of the school and is what you want in a representative of your alma mater

as a senior at app, i would like to be able to think that i attended the school during possibly the best 4 year stretch in school history!xthumbsupx

[CharlestonAppFan]

Hunter Stewart is such a great QB I wish he would play more

xlolx xnodx :D
