close early then ASU pulls away

[nmatsen]

Go SCSU!

I really don't think that SCSU will stay within 5 touchdowns but hey, a guy can dream can't he?

[ASUMountaineer]

I predict the one with the most points after 60 minutes wins, after that, just the one with the most points. I stand by my prediction.

[slycat]

App wins. I would like to see SCSU win and have a chance at a home game though.

[OLDMAIN80]

ASU, the experience factor is too much for SCSU

[neersnbeers]

Jerry Moore and Co., Mountaineers, The Rock.......Gotta go with the Black N Gold.
I think SCST will come out strong but when those ESPN cameras get rolling so do the 'Neers.

I doubt this will be close. Difference in line play, and team speed heavily favor ASU.

That's what happens when you're a seed, unless of course you run up against EWU I suppose. Just like teams with weaker schedules (non-BCS in FBS) you can only play who you have in front of you.

As long as SCSU PLAYS MISTAKE FREE FOOTBALL AND SMACKS THAT FRONT SEVEN OF APP. ST. SQUARE IN THE MOUTH, this game will be close and very entertaining.

Edwards is a beast but SCSU is just as good as any FCS team App. St. has seen this season. To take them lightly would be a STUPID MISTAKE!

But we know they will have each others full respect.

Bulldogs-28

A Missed FG for SCSU and a 2nd half turnover seal the victory for the Mountaineers in a GREAT FIRST ROUND GAME.

Or Wofford xlolx

[SouthernEagle02]

The key to beating App is that the opposing team must control AE. Take one of your linebackers and his only assignment the whole game is AE...blitz, blitz, and more blitz. Corners and up the middle. AE's passing has gotten better but it is his running and scrambling that make him dangerous. Shut down the run and SCST could pull an upset. And SCST cannot afford to let AE get into any kind of rythmn...PERIOD!! He does and its all over for the Bulldogs. Plus SCST cannot commit any errors at all. I go back to our game this year with App & had we not made a very costly error at the end, I believe we would have won. Lastly, SCST cannot allow themselves to become intimadated by playing the 3 time champs or playing at Kidd Brewer. So who will win? I want SCST, but I since I bet with my wallet and not with my heart, I got to go with App. (But just in case I'll cover with Wofford xsmiley_wix)

[LehighFan11]

App by as much as they choose. I expect the spread to be high 20s and I'll be giving it.

Geography.

[Rekdiver]

ASU may play AE for a very limited amount of time just to get the rust off.
I look for DE to play a good bit.

ASU will win by 21 with reserves playing most of the day..

[OldFootballGuy]

It's no different than last year. Wofford, the SoCon co-champions got sent to Montana. And the two best teams in the field of 16; JMU and ASU; had to play in the first round. That was also a WTF moment. They seem to manage at least one every year.

[PhoenixSupreme]

Hmmm....I'm gonna say App 38, SCSU 24

[Ivytalk]

Hmmm....I'm gonna say App 38, SCSU 24

This sounds about right. I can't see SCSU winning this game, but it'll be closer than most people think.

[appstate1998]

Weren't we the self annointed champs in 1995 and supposed to walk all over SP Austin and have a rematch with Marshall in the Championship game? Didn't work out to well that year overlooking opponents. I'm not taking SCSU lightly at all. Scored 143 to 0 the last three games

Maybe, but you know running is ya'lls bread and butter. My point is, any team playing App has got to blitz AE on nearly every down. I think us sacking him 4 times kept the score decent but also kept us in the game. You take away his feet and make him throw and you have a shot at beating App thats all I'm saying.

[SouthernEagle02]

but in the end, no one beats the Mountaineers at Kidd Brewer.

blitzing can help but it's dangerous with the inside handoff read on the option and the misdirection. I think having a spy on AE is the best way but still may be futile.

When is the last time a MEAC team won a plyoff game? I'm not trying to smack the MEAC here, I'm just wondering because I don't know. And for what it's worth, I don't think it's going to happen this year either, although SC State does seem to be better that a lot of previous MEAC entries. I think SC State could make a game of it, but "The Rock" will be too tough for them.

Last one I remember is FAMU in 1999. They went to the semifinals. I don't believe a MEAC team has won since.

1999 was the last year of a meac victory in the playoffs

[WileECoyote06]

SCSU is good, but App is beyond fast. I don't think it's going to be a 60-point drag; I'd say App 35, SCSU 17.

[SouthernEagle02]

Oh no doubt it is dangerous. But like I said, an opposing team cannot sit back and let AE get into a rythmn. It will be a good game (I hope). This is about the only time I'll even remotely cheer for App. Won't do it for furple, but I'll do it for App.

[Skjellyfetti]

Yeah, I think blitzing is a good counter to Armanti-- but you have to have fast guys and you have to get to him. JMU and GSU both did a good job of that.

[appmaj]

App 60 SCSU 14

[KiddBrewer]

Yes you have to win them but when the #1 seed gets the draw they did, you just have to wonder about WTF is going on.

i know whats going on.....elon screwed everything up. if wofford was in the CAA and Richmond was in the Socon, the first round matchup would be App/Wofford and JMU/Richmond. But since there in the same conference, they cant play in the first round. So because Elon lost saturday, it threw a wrench in the geography plans, and theyre trying to set up matchups would be my guess.

that, and the committee smokes crack while choosing the field, from what i hear.xcoffeex

Yeah, I wasn't really saying they should blitz every down or anything. Well timed blitzes... and make sure you get to him. Not easy or anything... but if I was the defensive coordinator that's what I'd try to do.

And, that's what's so great about a really good offense. Satterfield has an answer for most anything a defense tries to do. Getting in his head would be as big of a challenge as consistently knocking Armanti for a loss.

[AppMAN04]

This game will start out very close as we like to keep them and by the 2nd quarter we will run away with the game. Boone is too crazy for anyone to come in and just take the crown. At least SCSU will be on TV... this will make 7 times for us

I am telling you all NOT TO TAKE THOSE BULLDOGS IN ORANGEBURG LIGHTLY! They have just as much speed at the skill positions as ASU. They can also RUN THE FOOTBALL AND IF THEY GET THEIR PLAYACTION GOING, App. St. will have their hands full.

They are way more talented then Del. St. and will put on a show saturday, win or loose.

Watch out because this will not be the last you have heard of us. The MEAC will no longer be the Doormat of the FCS!xeekx

If oue coahes have a good game plan and we get good special teams play and limit the penalities,SCSU wins 28-27. If not App State wins 35-20. We have the players to compete.

What time does tailgating start at KBS?

Please explain your reasoning in why they should not have received any votes? Have you watched SCSU play this season or are you ASSUMING that just because they PLAY IN THE MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE, they do not have the Speed, TALENT AND do not play FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND FOOTBALL?xeyebrowx

Bulldog, it's according to which part of Charlotte you are coming from....it can be anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 to 2 hours according to the location. Tailgating usually starts around as early as 8:00 am or so for 12:00 games like this one.

Be forewarned though, there isn't that many places you can park that's close to the stadium....and be prepared to walk up or down a lot of hills xnodx

Are there any good sports bars in Boone that the opposing fans can visit on Friday night and make a few "Friendly" wagers for Saturday's games?

[MaxASU'81]

When you can play defense and run the ball you always have a chance.

You are so right! The one other intangible is turnovers. I think SC State gives the Apps a run for it but.....I know the Bulldogs have not seen the team speed that they will Saturday. If you can't simulate it in a weeks time you can't defense it. If we are all healthy it will turn late in the 2nd quarter. If we are still banged up it will turn early in the 2nd half. Either way we exit the game with a lot of respect for the Bulldogs and the MEAC looking like a league on the rise!

But we also take the win!

Good luck, no injuries! and dress warm 3333ft is a lot of altitude!

Well, many may say Geno's or Klondike, or Boone Saloon. If you're in college and want a college bar, those will suffice. I like Cafe Portofino. It's a restaurant, but it also has a bar and a place outside to drink. There's also Macado's, which is another favorite of mine.

Out of Charlotte? Are you coming into South Charlotte via I 77 or I 85? If you are coming up 85 then take Hwy 321 N toward Boone about exit 17. If you are coming up 77 then take 77N to hwy 421 exit 73 (B I think) towards Wilkesboro and Boone. **(I am taking you the fewest turns)**.

Beef O'Brady's is in the Goody's and Walmart Shopping center on 321. It is more of a Bar hangout! If you want the best food Go to Pepper's in the Shadow Line Shopping Center on Shawdow Line Drive....it looks small from the outside but it is the best food in Boone!

[ericsaid]

I think Armanti will have a big day, 350 total yards and 4 TD's atleast. The defense will show up to prove they can stop the run. SCSU not knowing having played Edwards won't know how to gameplan for him and from what highlights i've seen of SCSU their team speed isn't going to match up very well. Look foward to watching.

By all accounts he should close to or at 100% with his injuries. Sitting him out against Western was more precautionary and looking ahead than anything. It also got a lot of game snaps for DeAndre, and anyone who watched that game could see the rapid improvement he made as the game went on.

Also sitting the whole WCU game were the #1 and #2 halfbacks, Welton and Radford. Not sure why that was, but I am guessing it was the same thing, to rest them for the playoffs. Both have been banged up at different points of the season.

Its been a long time since we've had both of them playing in a game and would help us greatly.

Welton RB had a shoulder injury and Radford RB a knee injury, both should be available Saturday.

DE Roberson, RB Moore, and DB McDuffie have been out since the 3rd game (I'm hoping they get a medical redshirt). We miss Roberson the most right now.

ASU is on a 22 game winning streak for the months of November and December (since 11/5/05 @ LSU), 18 game home winning streak for the months of November and December (11/30/02 vs. Maine), 12 game winning streak in the playoffs (Maine), 11 game home winning streak (GSU last year), 9 game overall winning streak (JMU), and is 13-0 on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU networks.

AE likes TV btw :D .
Beat me too it...
Those are some impressive streaks by SCSU but look at THOSE streaks. xeekx
those mean nothing though coming into Saturday.

[jaxstatealum]

Close early - SCSU will play on hype and emotion. By half-time reality will have sunk in and they will lose by 24+

[T-Dog]

I was at the game and actually we beat ourselves. xsmiley_wix

Yeah, I wasn't there but from what I heard, FA&M was running some futuristic type offense called the "Spread option" and many of our defenders were still looking at the sideline when the ball was snapped. xsmhx

Probably one of the worst losses App ever had because of how unprepared we looked. Not taking anything away from that FA&M team (they were convinced of an ungodly number of NCAA violations later though) but that App team was very good. Beat eventual champs Georgia Southern at home, lost at Auburn by a last-minute TD and finished 9-2 and were Socon co-champs with FU and GaSo (we got the auto for some reason although all three of us made the playoffs) xbawlingx

[BULLDOG8180]

This game will start out very close as we like to keep them and by the 2nd quarter we will run away with the game. Boone is too crazy for anyone to come in and just take the crown. At least SCSU will be on TV... this will make 7 times for us

I was thinking the same thing, 0-0.xlolx

[BULLDOG8180]

This is really a silly question. Like, who will win Citadel of Florida?

I really was thinking the same thing!xsmhx

They cannot possibly be as bad as the MEAC ones were for the Championship game last year! REallllllllllllly BAYD! It was a joke at the game and we were not even privy to the replays. They missed a really good game!xwhistlex

[ejjones]

The funny thing is....everyone from the MEAC know that the best team hasn't represented the conference in some time now....one bad lost during the season and you're at home during the playoffs...everyone is not afforeded the opportunity to play in the CAA and get 5 teams in the playoffs...SCSU would finish in the top 3 in that leaugue year in/out. Their will be some shocked folks in boone on Saturday, if they think SCSU is typical MEAC talent. You've heard it hear first...feel free to chime in after Saturday too!

[Big Dawg]

Maybe, and I hope you do. IMO, this year's Apps would have beaten the '99 FAMU Rattlers.


HELL NO!!!xlolx

No team finishes in the top 3 year in and year out in the CAA. xpeacex SCSU would be no exception. im not going to going into all the conference comparisons between the two because everyone here knows the score. but even if you were from a good conference you would not be able to claim a year in and year out success. Sure UNH and JMU have been good recently but look at six years ago where these two teams were playing for sixth place or worse.

Call the MEAC what you want, but we've been in the thick of things year in/out...mostly out though with 1or2 conf. loses...

The offense FAMU ran was called "The Gulf Coast Offense" where we would call no huddle all game, audible like crazy, and have 5 WR sets. It was a quick strike offense that kept opposing defenses off balance...I was pretty young back in 1999 during the peak of the "Gulf Coast Offense"

[art vandelay]

Big:
Were you there in 1999 in Boone? I was. What I saw in FAMU was the mirror image of ASU's current offense. Or, at least, what I remember seeing. I am not sure App's 1999 D saw what happened. Their attention was more on the sidelines than the game, which just passed them by.

Is this year's App team better AT THAT OFFENSE than the Rattlers were? Yep. You'll see. App's D is better too. They get to practice against the best.

SHOCKED doubt it. Yes you guys had a great season and we all respect that, but you are in the MEAC and until you win your conference and a playoff game every year for the next 5 seasons youll just be another automatic bid that took someone elses spot. I think even a win over us wont put you up there with JMU, NOVA or Richmond.... ANYWAYS are any of you going to be at the game? ...AppMAN will be in the building. GOODLUCK TO ALL

Jones you must be high or something. Now I give your team props for winning your conference and having a great year but when you start spewing crap like finishing no lower than third year in and year out in the CAA, or for that matter the SoCon, then you are either delusional or frigin' stupid.

Now like I said your team has had a great year but until your team, and your conference especially, show that it is as competitive as the CAA, SoCon or other strong conferences then all you have is great years.

Slobbering Poochies-14

[blitz4]

I have been researching this game over the past few days. South Carolina State matches up as well against appstate as anybody. They have enough athletes to contain the reciever and enough speed at linebacker to contain AE. Contain does not mean hold them to no yards or td's, it simply means control them to the point to win. Their offense and QB isnt bad either. He can throw it.

I still think app will win, but im predicting a nail biter. Especially considering app is playing at 12 noon. They are a night team.


Good luck to both.

[Appaholic69]

"I have been researching this game over the past few days. South Carolina State matches up as well against appstate as anybody. They have enough athletes to contain the reciever and enough speed at linebacker to contain AE."

Well consider this, While Sc State has a pretty big O-line (281.66 lbs/avg), they are not as fast, or experienced, as the Appalachian D-Line (254.75 lbs/avg) which gives up only 26.91 lbs.

Again I'm not trying to take anything away from Sc State, I just believe that there will really be two major factors that will determine the outcome of the game.

Experience on a playoff stage with 28k loud, rabid fans
and
Good ol' cold Boone weather at 3,333 ft.

It's gonna be great. I've already got the beer chillin' out side cause it's colder than the fridge. Sc State fans, hope you have fun and if you see any Appaholics say Hi. We're crazy but mean no harm.

[BearGibson]

The game will be close until halftime.

The Mountaineers will end up winning by 21.

It is going to be a cold, cold game. Nasty weather...

I disagree...no offense is better than the Gulf Coast Offense under Pat Bonner(threw for 3,575 yds, 38 TDs in 1998) and JaJuan Seider(2,622 yds, 27 TDs in 1999 and he scrambled more than Bonner)

But this isn't about 1998 or 1999, this SCSU vs. ASU. I expect ASU to win but it wouldn't surprise me if SCSU pulled off the upset. I'm more confident in SCSU this year than DSU last year.

[rjg129]

SC State will get rattled early by the atmosphere of The Rock...The players will be huddled on the sidelines trying to keep warm...They will be more worried about the cold than ASU...ASU defense comes out on fire and holds the bulldogs under 20

Im really expecting ASU to make this a statement game...just not a jackrussellterrier statement game

27LBS goes along way in the 4th Q when those big boys have been leaning on you all day. Also, am I reading the wrong weather report? Looks like the temps will be in the 40s. Last week's game was in the twenties in Greensboro, NC. It definitely won't be that cold & we put up 55 while kneeling down inside the 5 with time remaining..& turned the ball over on the first two possesions inside the 20. Could have easily been 80.

[DSUrocks07]

Anyone going into this weekend expecting a blowout is an absolute idiot...

[Skjellyfetti]

Thought this was a pretty good write-up from the Orangeburg newspaper.

Especially this:

Friendship with Jeffries goes back years, Moore says

Aside from watching S.C. State play on ESPNU, Moore acknowledges he knows very little about this year’s team.

He does share a longtime friendship, however, with the legendary Willie Jeffries dating back to Moore’s head coaching days at Texas Tech.

“Willie and I have known each other as long as any one of us would like to admit,” he said. “When we first started in conversations and meeting and talking, we both use to tease each other about picking cotton and we both would pull that sack down that road and I teased him that I could pick more cotton than he could.

“When we get together, we don’t talk for 2-3 minutes if we don’t start talking about picking cotton. And I think I can speak for both of us we’re both very proud that we pulled that sack down those cotton roads because it helped both of us as men where things in our lives have come from and I think I speak for Willie when I say that. He’s a great person.”

Jeffries said Tuesday he later learned former Iowa head coach Hayden Frye picked as much cotton as both of them. He also suggested to Moore instead of telling people that he used to pick cotton, he should refer to himself as formerly a “textile builder.”

I don't think the crowd will be the difference. SCSU has already played at loud-as-hell Clemson, and mean-as-hell USC (in 07).

ASU wins because they have better talent, and/or a better gameplan.

I just don't want to see a rout. SCSU probably should have been representing the MEAC the last two or three years; they have been the most talented team for a while. SCSU is a better team than Del State in 2007; but I wish they were matched up with someone other than App State. SCSU could beat five or more of the current playoff field.

[TheValleyRaider]

Appalachian State
SC State will be no pushover, and may even have the athletes to match the Mountaineers at lots of positions. But App is ranked #2 for a reason. They've got depth, experience and a big-time homefield advantage up there in Boone. Tough draw for a game Bulldogs team, but they're not the ones to end Appalachian's run

As much as I hate ASU, the money bet is on ASU in this matchup. This game for SCSU will be just like their matchup against Clempson.

How bad the beating will be all depends on which ASU team shows up.xeyebrowx

If ASU only plays 1/2, then the score will be 47-14.xnodx
If ASU plays the entire game....70-14...just ask Wofford.xwhistlex

Clearly newbie.

I was making a point that it could have been -50º or 90º and you guys still would have dominated A&T. Sounds like your post to me considering you mixed weather and scoreing. However, it could be in the twenties in Boone, NC and you may not be able to put up 55 points, would that make a difference to your point? Not trying to be a douche here, I just made a joke (I'm from Greensboro and hate seeing the Aggies perform so bad lately) and apparently you got all defensive (why? I have no idea). My joke was on relevant content, it just went over your head, I guess. It's cool though, no hard feelings EJ. xpeacex

It may have been in the twenties in Greensboro, but I'll warn you now in case you don't know. Similar temperatures feel much differently in Boone than in the Piedmont. Trust me, when you combine differences in the elevation, humidity and wind the difference is vast.

Cold is not cold. The Sc State team will notice a difference, in weather and in the opposition.

Lots of talk about the Rock being full, any word on what the expected attendance is at this point? From what I remember this is a fairly low attended game. We have gotten better each of the last 3 years at filling the stadium this weekend but I would be surprised if 20k were there sat. For instance, I have 8 season tickets and only 2 will be filled saturday by my group.

How did they get tickets? I am sure the allotment was about 1/6th of that, if the Bulldogs are lucky. Tickets just opened up Monday to anyone not a season ticket holder for season seats, which is a good portion of the stadium. I guess we'll know soon enough if there's a bunch of red.

The average attendance for SCSU last year was 13k. That means half the people, at least, who go to home games will travel up to Boone for the game. That's pretty impressive if it happens. I guess first playoff game in that long is something worth traveling for. We'll see.

No jokes this time...

thanks for representing your alumni so well....we love seeing us represented as a bunch of loud drunk rednecks..

And if you want some good food...not some chain like Macados where you can go to a mall like Concord Mills and get, or Daniel Boone Inn where you pay 14 bucks for all you can eat..which by the way is cans of green beans, cans of corn, some fried chicken and a few other things..the only decent thing there is the ham biscuits..but of course...it's not all you can eat....if you want more than one each of those you have to pay extra.

If you want good food that you won't find everywhere, I suggest places like Parthenon Cafe. Great greek food and one of the best white pies you will find, also cafe portofino is great as well. Unless something has changed since I've been there, they are also a good place to get a drink, unlike Macados which has the slowest service of any restaurant anywhere in Boone.

And if you want some good food...not some chain like Macados where you can go to a mall like Concord Mills and get, or Daniel Boone Inn where you pay 14 bucks for all you can eat..which by the way is cans of green beans, cans of corn, some fried chicken and a few other things..the only decent thing there is the ham biscuits..but of course...it's not all you can eat....if you want more than one each of those you have to pay extra.

If you want good food that you won't find everywhere, I suggest places like Parthenon Cafe. Great greek food and one of the best white pies you will find, also cafe portofino is great as well. Unless something has changed since I've been there, they are also a good place to get a drink, unlike Macados which has the slowest service of any restaurant anywhere in Boone.

The ham biscuits are good at DBI but you are right it is too expensive but Macados is always on point. Boone Bagelry or Sunrise Gril for breakfast. I never said Rednecks only drunks ...lol anyways Cant wait to get back up there. GO AppS

15,000, that's it, SCSU will have atleast 6K traveling...maybe more giving the importance of this game and proximity.

Do they teach math at SC State? If you bring 6K to the game I would like to know where you are getting the tickets. First of all I don't believe any other visiting team in history has ever brought half that number to App. That includes Georgia Southern, James Madison, Furman, etc. Second, the visiting team's allotment is probably more like 1K. And a large majority of the stadium is taken up by season ticket holders who had until late Tuesday to purchase their tickets. The rest of the stadium is reserved for ASU students. Would love to see that number visit the mountain but I think you need to be a little more realistic. At any rate, hope you enjoy the trip up the mountain. It will be a beautiful ride up if not on the way down. Welcome to The Rock and God's Country. Hope you are treated well and have a safe trip. Looking forward to the game.



See you Saturday! Go Apps!!!

[AppStateSVX]

there seems to be a problem with Student ticketing on the GoAsu website. I can't find it anywhere. only thing i'm seeing is "standard" 25.00 tickets, which as much as I love App, I can't afford that ****. no freaking way.

this might really hurt attendance. Most college students can't afford $25.00 a pop games

[ronpayne]

I thought they couldn't give away free student tickets for the playoffs... something about the NCAA needing money....xcoolx

My prediction: Black & Gold Steamroller 50+, Team from somewhere in SC 21, scored in garbage time in the 4th quarter against our 4th string QB.

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[AppStateSVX]

they're supposed to be $5.00

i can't find it though, and it is really starting to piss me off. I have NEVER missed a home game or playoffs in all 4 years i've been here.

Marshall was the only team that could put close to 6k in KBS...

if past attendance is any indicator, i would expect 15-17k...

No thanks I'd rather stay here at the Rock until we move to our second home in Chattytown, AKA APPYtown, in December.

[ejjones]

How did they get tickets? I am sure the allotment was about 1/6th of that, if the Bulldogs are lucky. Tickets just opened up Monday to anyone not a season ticket holder for season seats, which is a good portion of the stadium. I guess we'll know soon enough if there's a bunch of red.

The average attendance for SCSU last year was 13k. That means half the people, at least, who go to home games will travel up to Boone for the game. That's pretty impressive if it happens. I guess first playoff game in that long is something worth traveling for. We'll see.

No jokes this time...
You need to take up the ticket allocation up w/ your AD; and you're right, last year average attendance was 13K. However, 2008 is a different year and the average is 18K. Look up the latest stats, we're in the top 10 average attendance rankings. If you need the link, then I'll send it to you. So, only 33% of the fans will be traveling. Do be impressed, be excited!

We sure do, teach math; BTW we got the only undergrad nuclear eng. program in the south. The ticket allotment needs to be addressed with your AD. Maybe the rules change for playoffs, and visitors are allotment % go up based on average home game attendance (scsu, 2008, 18K). Keep in mind, we're not one of those other schools visiting Boone. History is exactly what it is....in the past until a prevelent act trumps it in the future... Go Dogs!

SC State fans there will be plenty of tickets available in the first round game. KBS can hold 30K and typically only 16K show up for the first round game as about 1/3 of alumni and 1/2 of students who regularly come are spending time with family this weekend.

Sell those tickets.

[WestCoastAggie]

Jeez, I'm glad some of you App. St. fans are no where near the coaching staff because you guys are really letting this overconfidence get 2 y'all head. You guys are acting like you are playing some pansy like western Carolina or worse, A&T (yes i know but my school's football sucks azz)!

Im telling you that those Bulldogs can hang with the best of 'em in FCS and will surely hang with you guys deep into the game. But once again, THATS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME you overconfident, ignorant pansies!!!

Quit with the generalizations. There are plenty of App fans who respect every playoff team that we face. I for one remember the Florida A&M game vividly and I imagine Coach Moores does too. I think that both teams will be very prepared and that Sc State will put up a fight.

[Skjellyfetti]

Maybe the rules change for playoffs, and visitors are allotment % go up based on average home game attendance (scsu, 2008, 18K).

I think this is true, but not based on home attendance for the visitor team. Section 112 is usually a student section and on the website to purchase student tickets it says:


IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!! East Side Section 112 is NOT AVAILABLE for student seating this week. It is being used as reserved seating to comply with NCAA rules.

I believe there is a rule about a certain amount of visitor seats located between the 30's.

Seems silly to put visitors right next to two student sections though... Hope y'all are treated ok...

Yes we are a little cocky, but not all of us are. please stop throwing A&T up 3 games in 3 years, Homecoming is always fun even if they havent won one in like 6 years . I do hope its a good game until the 4th at least and I will be in the house hope you guys will too.

Overconfidence is allowed by fans its what they do and take your smack to the smack board their is plenty of room for it there but none here. Now, I have every reason expect a hard fought game but Appalachian is fully capable of taking you to the woodshed Saturday and it is perfectly acceptable for some fans to believe that that is exactly what this team will do. (the same as it is your right to believe the opposite)

[Edge316007]

Last year James Madison had a very good turnout for the first round playoff game in Boone. They only brought maybe 1,000 though. There is no way SC State is bringing anywhere close to 6,000.

Why are we so confident? Maybe it's cause we already beat a pair of Bulldogs this year and App is good at threepeats?

[Skjellyfetti]

Coach Buddy Pough, pleased with the fact that his S.C. State team is in the NCAA's championship division playoffs for the first time since 1982, called his mother on Sunday night to tell her that his team would be playing Appalachian State in the first round.

"She said, ‘Is that the team with the little boy from Greenwood?'" Pough said, referring to Armanti Edwards, Appalachian's record-setting quarterback.

"I said, ‘Yes, ma'am, that's the one.'

"She said, ‘Well it was good you all got into the playoffs at least.' "

Throughout the time of Civilization, it has been shown over & over again that overconfidence when especially you do not know the full potential of one's opponent, is fatal. The Pharaoh underestimated Moses, Goliath underestimated David, and recently Michigan underestimated you guys. It would be unwise for some of you all FCS fans to take a team like SCSU lightly, especially when they can do things that are essential in playoff football: RUN THE FOOTBALL AND STOP THE RUN.

Most fans understand this and are not taking those Bulldogs lightly, but some of you feel that since you already won 2 championships, that this will be a cakewalk.

To those people: please say these things to the coaching staff and players. There is nothing like overconfidence to go with that serving of crow that you all will be eating. and trust me, calling SOME App. St. fans OVERCONFIDENT, IGNORANT PANSINES is not smack.

Thank you so much for the history lesson how could I have overlooked ancient Egypt as it pertains to a football game this Saturday. Once again good luck but I still stand by the fact the FANS have every right and some reason to be confident for this game, over-confidence is a matter of opinion. Don't be too worried about if our fans are picking a 200 point victory, I assure you Jerry and Co. will have our boys ready to bring home a victory by a big or small margin (doesn't matter to me)

That's fine, I will be shocked if 6000 SCSU fans show up. I said I may be surprised, I'm still not sure why you're so defensive. However, I don't see us giving SCSU 6000 seats, we don't do that for Furman or GSU, why SCSU? By the way, since you're talking about links, where is the source that says 6000 will be coming, or that that is the allotment given to SCSU? Just out of curiosity...

I don't really have any conference allegiance, I just pick a team in a game and pull for them. This weekend, I'll be pulling for Wofford, but not because they play in the SoCon.

How many yards does everyone think Edwards will have tomorrow? I can see 150 rushing, and 200 passing.
