Richmond @ Appalachian State game thread

[griz37]

Didn't see one?

0-0 App St. on their own 12

[jonmac]

thanks griz. The Apps need to start rolling.

[jonmac]

Well, that's a good break. Running into the punter, first down.

[jonmac]

Presley at slot back? Satterfield must read the MMB.

[Tod]

Thought it was odd not to see a thread.

Audio link?

Altitude not coming through, the bastards!

[spiderman87]

get ready for some josh vaughan

[AppChicago]

You can get the audio on goasu.com.

[HiHiYikas]

Richmond's defense is looking stout. No surprises there. Could be a low-scoring, close game.

[dgreco]

the Richmond front 7 are looking really good so far

[gofurman]

Richmond's defense is looking stout. No surprises there. Could be a low-scoring, close game.

sounds like app is struggling again with opponent dl -of course, one of their two best DL (Richmonds) just left game hurt... (logan)

[AshevilleApp]

Logan #8 out for Richmond

[terrierbob]

Listening. go Apps.

[AshevilleApp]

DJ Smith!!!

[Bettina90]

Looks like no Crone for Richmond. That's not good. Didn't see anything happen with Logan, that would be a blow as well. But he's not out there at RDE on that play.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Let's go Spydaz

[jonmac]

Said Logan walked to the LR under his own power.
Not back in now.

[gofurman]

Looks like no Crone for Richmond. That's not good. Didn't see anything happen with Logan, that would be a blow as well. But he's not out there at RDE on that play.

what position does Crone play?

[AppChicago]

Big!

[AshevilleApp]

Ben Jorden is going to have a HUGE career in Boone

[jonmac]

Ben Jorden, Player of the Year. Big play.

[Bettina90]

Crone is a fullback.

[dgreco]

#39 LB for Richmond is all over the field. He seems a little undersized but gets around and gets in there.

[jonmac]

I'm with DJ and Brownie, enough the trickery.

[Bettina90]

The ESPN crew is talking about "those two defensive ends" when one of them is not on the field.

[jonmac]

The ESPN crew is talking about "those two defensive ends" when one of them is not on the field.

You expect anything different?

[Bettina90]

Need a turnover of hold to a FG, that was an awful penatly to take.

[dgreco]

a lot of stupid penalties for Richmond so far.

[jonmac]

Catching some breaks, good sign. RJ said Welton may be gimpy.

[Bettina90]

Awful call.

[Bettina90]

That is complete bull****. Nice call, refs, way to give them 4 points.

[AshevilleApp]

I love Matt Cline!

[gofurman]

Need a turnover of hold to a FG, that was an awful penatly to take.

I am listening to App announcers - you have to wonder when the APP announcers are surprised at an interference call. Makes you think? Hmmm

[jonmac]

Awful call.

Which call? Interference? You that far ahead?

[dgreco]

that is a BS call

[Bettina90]

Yes, that was a horrible call on a great play made on THIRD down.

[apps3x2009]

he had his right arm wrapped around his waist

[gofurman]

Yes, that was a horrible call on a great play made on THIRD down.


that could be a game changer - horrible call. Even the App guys said "wow, I think we would have to see that on a replay"...."somewhat penalty aided yards"...

were these refs paid? lol

[StrikeJMU]

come on spiders, get it done boys.

[asknoquarter21]

there has been some issues with PI calls and no calls in boone this year

[Bettina90]

he had his right arm wrapped around his waist



I hope you don't wrap your arm around a girl's waist like that or she will question which team you play for.

[NovaHater]

Forget it Spider fans, this game has already been decided. These officials will not let App St lose.

The fix is on.

[jonmac]

Well, we've had a few of those go against us this year too. And this game ain't over yet. If things hold true to form with officiating it'll probably go both ways.

[bobbythekidd]

he had his right arm wrapped around his waist
Another Appy fan. You guys reproduce like rabbitsxeekx

[jonmac]

Forget it Spider fans, this game has already been decided. These officials will not let App St lose.

The fix is on.

OH PLEASE. xbawlingx

[AppChicago]

Forget it Spider fans, this game has already been decided. These officials will not let App St lose.

The fix is on.

Oh blah blah blah.

Come on. One questionable call.

[Bettina90]

Needed that.

[jonmac]

Hate it but gotta run out. Keep 'em going boys. Be back in a bit.

[Bettina90]

I hope he was out of bounds.

[Bettina90]

Ok, we are tied in calls.

[AshevilleApp]

There ya go.....out of bounds called in....

[AppChicago]

Ok, we are tied in calls.

Haha. I was wondering if you'd concede that. :)

[Eaglegus2]

Sounds like the refs made up for the supposedly bad call in the Interference call.xrotatehx

[Bettina90]

Nice, big drive.

[boonegoon]

Nice, big drive.

With a lot of help

[AppChicago]

TD Richmond.

[Bettina90]

Unreal. When Howard misses a PAT we are in trouble.

[StrikeJMU]

missed extra point. haha

[bobbythekidd]

xeekx

[asknoquarter21]

that was almost scripted

[AppChicago]

WOW! Miss #2 in 144 career attempts! This may be our day...

[apps3x2009]

vaughn is a beast

[Eaglegus2]

Ask Cal-Poly about missing those PAT's.xnodx xnodx

[Engy0]

what's the score?

[AlphaSigMD]

Wow. I hate stupid refs. Period. This game should be 3-0 ASU right now.

[paward]

Strap it on boys we in for a ride!

[Eaglegus2]

what's the score?


7 - 6 App State

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

ASU takes over at their own 35.

[AlphaSigMD]

If they can miss a call so completely obvious, I can only imagine what these ref's have in store for us today.

[Eaglegus2]

Wow. I hate stupid refs. Period. This game should be 3-0 ASU right now.


You know that the FCS has the worse refs in football.xthumbsupx

[DTSpider]

Wow. I hate stupid refs. Period. This game should be 3-0 ASU right now.

Couldn't agree more about the refs. Some very bad calls so far (catch out of bounds, facemask, pass interference)

[Hoyadestroya85]

Wow... if this is a 1 point game this kicker will have no friends anymore

[Tod]

what's the score?

Yeah, unless Altitude was talking about Japan time, they have royally ****ed up.

xmadx xmadx xmadx xmadx xmadx

[Eaglegus2]

Wow... if this is a 1 point game this kicker will have no friends anymore

Who said he had any friends!!!xlolx xlolx xsmiley_wix

[StrikeJMU]

"remember that one time I couldn't remember the word pep rally?"

[DTSpider]

Wow... if this is a 1 point game this kicker will have no friends anymore

Yeah, UR has been burned on missed PATs before.

[paward]

What refs are calling the game?

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Why is it taking so long to start the second quarter?

[EDIT] NM, it's started.

[Bettina90]

Nice play by Armanit but it seems he is facing a little more heat and taking more hits this year. Let's see how that factors over the course of the game.

[gofurman]

Wow. I hate stupid refs. Period. This game should be 3-0 ASU right now.

I agree - I like your post. Good job on objectivity. Horrible PI call, horrible catch-in-bounds call.

[DTSpider]

Fumble!

[AppAlum96]

not

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

App now in UR territory.

[DTSpider]

Ouch, that was close...

UR is really going for the strip on every play

[Bettina90]

It's almost impossible for the WR to not have held on that play.

[paward]

Refs r terrible!

[Bettina90]

Did I see Logan back in there?

[AlphaSigMD]

Haha...my girlfriend (completely impartial - she went to Elon) "wow...the richmond players are really dirty"

[DTSpider]

I think the one thing everyone will agree is is that the refs are going to be making a lot of bad calls both ways today, who are these clowns?

[DTSpider]

Haha...my girlfriend (completely impartial - she went to Elon) "wow...the richmond players are really dirty"

Dirty? How so?

The refs were very late to blow the whistle, you can't let up when the ball carrier is still moving his feet.

[AlphaSigMD]

I think the one thing everyone will agree is is that the refs are going to be making a lot of bad calls both ways today, who are these clowns?

Agreed. I can't believe that they didn't call that a fumble. His knees were obviously down. xlolx

[Bettina90]

Haha...my girlfriend (completely impartial - she went to Elon) "wow...the richmond players are really dirty"





HaHa, my dog (beagle, completely impartial) just barked, "Wow, these App players look real dumb".

[Tod]

Must be FCS refs...xrolleyesx

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

First down App

[AppAlum96]

fumble!

[DTSpider]

Agreed. I can't believe that they didn't call that a fumble. His knees were obviously down. xlolx

Yeah, wasn't referring to that play...

But you can't say his knees were down on that one!

[Bettina90]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO, that's what you get for dancing!!!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

turnover

[bobbythekidd]

xhurrayx

[AlphaSigMD]

HaHa, my dog (beagle, completely impartial) just barked, "Wow, these App players look real dumb".

I always knew there was something a little funny about those Richmond people.

[HiHiYikas]

Figures...these guys can't come up with a strip to save their lives, and ASU just coughs up the ball...

[AppAlum96]

c'mon refs! get that wrong too!

[Appaholic69]

Watch out for Radford! He'll be a key player for Armanti.

[AlphaSigMD]

Stupid fumble Coco.

[Tod]

There ya go!!!

[Bettina90]

VAUGHN!


DT, I think they actually were down on that play but the camera angle was bad. I think he went down real quick then kind of rolled over before fumbling.

[bandl]

Score????

[apps3x2009]

What refs are calling the game?
OVC refs

[Hoyadestroya85]

Josh Vaughn is a pro

[AppAlum96]

still 7-6 app, UR driving.

[Bettina90]

I always knew there was something a little funny about those Richmond people.




I was kidding And only threw "dumb" in there so as not to dupe the "dirty" tag and couldn't think of anything else.

[AlphaSigMD]

"gain of 4 or 5 on the play". - gain of 1.

[AppAlum96]

Wow, Grayson is first team all-ACC? How'd he do that?

[AppGirl]

Legree almost had it!

[th0m]

Wow, Grayson is first team all-ACC? How'd he do that?

Lack of quality ACC players? xsmiley_wix

This is the CAA you know :p

[AlphaSigMD]

I was kidding And only threw "dumb" in there so as not to dupe the "dirty" tag and couldn't think of anything else.

Fair enough.

[art vandelay]

is there a link to watch this other than ESPN 360

[igo4uni]

Wow, Grayson is first team all-ACC? How'd he do that?

he must be really good!!!

[HiHiYikas]

Wow, Grayson is first team all-ACC? How'd he do that?
Technically, that would be frist taem ACC. It all makes sense if you have the right kind of brain.

[AppAlum96]

Lack of quality ACC players? xsmiley_wix

This is the CAA you know :p

I was referring to a quote by the announcer, fyi. :P

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Ugh I hate listening to televised games on the radio.

[Bettina90]

Wow, they had that.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

UR going for it on 4th and 9...

[EDIT] NM

[Tribe4SF]

Ward misses wide open receiver!xsmhx

[AppAlum96]

Who expected a defensive battle? I love how App's defense is playing, but UR's defense is definitely living up to it's hype.

[AppGirl]

didn't go for it, app ball on the 11.
Let's go App!

[asknoquarter21]

big stop

[Bettina90]

Alright, my first confirm that Logan is in there. Maybe he had some GI issues.


Now maybe they are saving Crone for the 2nd half. (Not).

[gofurman]

big stop

1st and 10 from 33 and you punt?

No RUNS from Richmond??? At last let Vaugh try once each 4 plays...

[AppGirl]

Presley runs the ball!

[AppAlum96]

WOW

[pantheralum16]

First time watching a game (on TV) at App. Looks like a nice campus!

[AppGirl]

Big run by Corman!

[gofurman]

seems to me the diff so far is the accuracy of the QBs. Richmond can't complete a pass and the announcers say the recvrs are decently open.

[art vandelay]

is there a link to watch this other than ESPN 360

[asknoquarter21]

the hit stick!!! haha

[Bettina90]

Does Edwards EVER get sacked? Seriously?

[apps3x2009]

t.j courman wants number 4 more than anyone great effort

[AppAlum96]

First time watching a game (on TV) at App. Looks like a nice campus!

Boone is awesome. I dearly miss it.

[gofurman]

First time watching a game (on TV) at App. Looks like a nice campus!

where are you watching ?

[Bettina90]

PATRICK WELDON-BETTINA!

[pantheralum16]

Nice Hit...

[pantheralum16]

on Espn 360. It's alright but if I can get it for free I'm for it.

[AppGirl]

Come on Defense!

[bobbythekidd]

Anyone have a Verizon pass for ESPN360?

[AppAlum96]

Goasu.com is audio only. I bought the PPV.

[AppGirl]

Third down. Ring dem bells

[stevdock]

what's the score??

[paward]

3rd and 3

[AppAlum96]

still 7-6

[NovaHater]

1st & 10 in the Red Zone
C'mon refs, time for a holding call

[AppGirl]

what's the score??

still 7-6.

false start spiders, 1st & 15

[mcveyrl]

PATRICK WELDON-BETTINA!

He's a beast.

[Bettina90]

Not that I am calling for it, but I really wonder if Richmond has a screen in their playbook.

[paward]

Nova u hating on us, 2.

[AppAlum96]

Lots of gadget plays today, from both teams.

[pantheralum16]

I see App has not had any penalties yet, have they done that the whole season? (minimal penalties)

[Bettina90]

Oh, my Gosh, Ward. He was WIDE open.

[AppAlum96]

wow, that was a TD if the QB didn't overthrow.

[AppGirl]

4th and 10

[NovaHater]

Not that I am calling for it, but I really wonder if Richmond has a screen in their playbook.

It would sure look better than that double pass.

Ward's accuracy looks terrible

[Bettina90]

(sorry, pa)

[AppAlum96]

FG NO GOOD!

[Bettina90]

What the F is going on here. Unreal.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Fourth down...

[NovaHater]

Field goal attempt 25 yds, no good
2:00 left

[AppGirl]

MISSED FIELD GOAL!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

FG NO GOOD!

Wow...you're about 30 second ahead of me

[gofurman]

Lots of gadget plays today, from both teams.

RIchmond should run here - quit the trick plays. Can Ward throw for crap? Really - are the CAA QBs this bad. Even the App announcers are amazed at how open the Recvr was and how BAD the throw was.

Oh yeah, can you Kick at all?

[mcveyrl]

Ward is killin' the Spiders...

[paward]

No Problem, it is what it is. I am like you want a win!

[Eaglegus2]

What the F is going on here. Unreal.

The Richmond kicker is going to cost the Spiders a chance for an upset.

He needs to make the kicks.

[AppAlum96]

Wow, that Stephen King ESPN commercial was hilarious.

[mcveyrl]

Ward is killin' the Spiders...

Okay, so Ward and the kicker...

[bobbythekidd]

Half time adjustment for UR:
Go for 2
Stop overthrowing receivers.
Go for it on 4th down

[Hoyadestroya85]

Can i reiterate the thing about the kicker and friends?

[apps3x2009]

i love how they show the kicker alone everytime one misses a kick

[NovaHater]

RIchmond should run here - quit the trick plays. Can Ward throw for crap? Really - are the CAA QBs this bad. Even the App announcers are amazed at how open the Recvr was and how BAD the throw was.

Oh yeah, can you Kick at all?

Oh yeah, terrible QB's, can't kick......And what's the score ?

[AppAlum96]

Wow...you're about 30 second ahead of me

Should I wait?

Deep to Quick!

[caribbeanhen]

better to miss them now than in the 4th

[AppAlum96]

Wow, took 10 Richmond players to bring down Jorden.

[Appaholic69]

Big drive here, Lets go APP!

[AppAlum96]

SNOW!

[mcveyrl]

Can we borrow Weldon for the Villanova game?

[gofurman]

Oh yeah, terrible QB's, can't kick......And what's the score ?

probably 14-6 or 10-6... I bet App can hit a field goal -

[AppGirl]

Wouldn't Weldon rather go inside and watch this on TV? He'd be warmer!xwhistlex

[AppAlum96]

Wow, he had that INT.

[Bettina90]

PICK THAT!

[mcveyrl]

Wow. Should've been picked...

[NovaHater]

probably 14-6 or 10-6... I bet App can hit a field goal -

Shows what you know

[AppAlum96]

Ok, no more kicking in this game. New rule.

[Bettina90]

Wow, who knows how this one goes. Either team could probablly be up 14 right now.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

FG unit coming on for App.

[apps3x2009]

can we just all agree to stop using kickers

[mcveyrl]

If he could've beat Armanti, it would've been a pick 6...

As it is, Weldon saved a chip shot

[gofurman]

probably 14-6 or 10-6... I bet App can hit a field goal -

wrong I am. However, App can throw completions.

Before you get all cool realize I am pulling for Richmond - thus my frustration.

[apps3x2009]

wow what a defensive half

[WMTribe90]

I bet App can hit a field goal -
xlolx xlolx xlolx

[HiHiYikas]

Great half...exciting stuff.

[Tribe4SF]

Richmond should be winning this. Looks like Bruce Dowd's assessment of Ward's accuracy problems was on the money. Missed two TDs.

[AppAlum96]

Any bets on how much time is spent on this game at half? I bet 30 seconds.

[Blue42]

Richmond needs to keep running the ball. They can push App's Dline around.

They've had two possessions inside the 40 that stalled when they went to the air.

Run Vaughan and the QB draw and I don't think App can stop them.

[Tribe4SF]

Any bets on how much time is spent on this game at half? I bet 30 seconds.


Zero so far!xnodx

[redspider]

Wow way to go Spider now if we could just get a new kicker we coudl win this one haha

[AlphaSigMD]

Richmond should be winning this. Looks like Bruce Dowd's assessment of Ward's accuracy problems was on the money. Missed two TDs.

The way I figure it, richmond should have zero points on the board. The only points they scored were due to a 30 yard pass that was out of bounds on 3rd down.

[Tribe4SF]

Wow way to go Spider now if we could just get a new kicker we coudl win this one haha

And a QB who can hit a wide open guy 20 yards downfield!

[AppAlum96]

kickers are a combined 1/4 on FG's and PAT's today.

[NovaHater]

wrong I am. However, App can throw completions.

Before you get all cool realize I am pulling for Richmond - thus my frustration.

Yeah right, that's why you said....Are CAA QB's that bad.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Damn Kicker!
xlolx

[Tribe4SF]

The way I figure it, richmond should have zero points on the board. The only points they scored were due to a 30 yard pass that was out of bounds on 3rd down.

And ASU has 7 because of a bushleague interference call.

[slycat]

Did these kickers attend a Cal Poly practice?xlolx :D :p

[AppAlum96]

I kinda like these ESPN halftime shows. I can go take a dump and hit a drive-through without worrying about missing anything pertinent.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

I kinda like these ESPN halftime shows. I can go take a dump and hit a drive-through without worrying about missing anything pertinent.

Are they talking about this game, the playoffs, or BCS stuff?

[AlphaSigMD]

So by my count that is JMU, Villanova, GSU, Furman, WCU, UNI in addition to UR as teams actively pulling against the back to back to back champs.

Wow, it really looks like it's ASU vs. World on here today. Nobody else wants to play against us and the rest of the SoCon has sour grapes.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

For what it's worth, I want you guys to win these next two and then lose in Chatty to a Big Sky team.xpeacex

More like people like to see diversity.

[AppAlum96]

Are they talking about this game, the playoffs, or BCS stuff?

All B(c)S and Heisman.

[gofurman]

Great half...exciting stuff.

I love defensive slobber-knocker battles. Ol' school football in the snow

[AlphaSigMD]

And ASU has 7 because of a bushleague interference call.

Read back a couple of pages, I called that call for what it was as well.

Just saying that your whole "up by two TD's" was completely baseless.

[gofurman]

Read back a couple of pages, I called that call for what it was as well.

yep - should be 3-0 app.

100% agre

[apps3x2009]

still yet to mention the game on espn

[NovaHater]

Wow, it really looks like it's ASU vs. World on here today. Nobody else wants to play against us and the rest of the SoCon has sour grapes.


I want to make sure I can get tickets in Chatty

[lizrdgizrd]

Can't get the audio link to work! What's the score?

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Can't get the audio link to work! What's the score?

http://www.goasu.com/newMediaPlayer/console.htm?type=live&oemid=21500&id=68713&KEY=

7-6...a lot of offensive mistakes by both teams.

[93henfan]

7-6 appy

[Bettina90]

"at about the 15".


Try the 24, Jackhole.

[AppAlum96]

Ok, whoever had "0" for game coverage at halftime wins the pool.

[AppGirl]

Look at that snow! Man, I wish I was there!

[Bettina90]

Wow, was that 10 in the box for App?

[AppAlum96]

Ok, that made no sense. Announcer said, "4 of the last 5 NC games have featured a team from the CAA, Richmond is trying to snap that streak." Is he suggesting that they're throwing the game?

[AppAlum96]

Wow, send Ward to north Korea. I bet he could overthrown Kim Jong-Il.

[Bettina90]

Richmond needs a f'ing check down when the deep guy is covered. Which he's been all day long.

[NovaHater]

Is that what you want to see Blue42 ?

Vaughn making nice runs and again Ward goes downfield ?

Don't understand this playcalling

[93henfan]

App is bending on this drive. Will they break? Rich to the App 30 something.

[Bettina90]

Kinda funny, AppAlum 96. But in that case I think he threw it where he meant to.

[Bettina90]

SWEET. Armanti Ward.

[NovaHater]

1st and 10 21 yd line UR

[Hoyadestroya85]

this is football weather

[AppAlum96]

First down for Ward. No, he didn't throw.

[AppAlum96]

Nice play!

[AppAlum96]

big 3rd down...

[Hoyadestroya85]

if it wasn't for howard.. Richmond would be in command of this game

[Bettina90]

Richmond needs first down here, that was a brutal play call.

[furman94]

Look at the snow! Wish I was there!

[AppAlum96]

That one was also out of bounds.

[LehighFan11]

Wow how bad is the snow? is it accumulating on the field?

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Wow....this game could have the highest ratio of total yards to points ever. xlolx xlolx

[AppAlum96]

FG... GOOD! 9-7 UR.
