GO APP!!




STATE


from the 111 !!

[Skjellyfetti]

Touchdown Citadel.

7-0

Defense not looking too hot so far...

[elcid03]

El Cid's defense not sounding too good either

[Skjellyfetti]

App moves the ball down the field with ease....... then stalls at 7. Bad snap on field goal.


xsmhx

[elcid03]

big stop El Cid.....failed fg for App State!!!! 7-0 Bulldogs

[Grizzaholic]

Here we go.

[rOryOs-ASU]

Is this game on the Go ASU TV????????

[Grizzaholic]

Is this game on the Go ASU TV????????

I am watching it on Channelsurfing

[Skjellyfetti]

Yeah.

Also on channelsurfing: http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-ncaa-football.php?w=1

[rOryOs-ASU]

With our offense why do we always defer?? and then proceed to spot the other team a score?? I would rather pin them deep beginning of the second half after we have things figured out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

This could be a close game. The Cid can be tough in Chucktown.

[Skjellyfetti]

This could be a close game. The Cid can be tough in Chucktown.

Crowd looks completely dead. All old people. I don't get it. xlolx

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

[Reign of Terrier]

Wow

[Grizzaholic]

50 yard FG.

10-0 El Cid

That is not a bad kick!

[paward]

Come on App State, I'm pulling for you!

[elcid03]

Longest of his career...anywhere.

[Grizzaholic]

Not to get ahead of ourselves here....but what happens if THE Citadel wins today? Will there be a mass suicide from App St. fans?

[elcid03]

yes

[appirishmen]

wow our d looks flat again. if they dont step up it will be a long day for us....we need to score. every time i use channelsurfing.net it freezes????

[appirishmen]

Not to get ahead of ourselves here....but what happens if THE Citadel wins today? Will there be a mass suicide from App St. fans?

YES....hahaha no i will always pull for app no matter how bad

[ElSissy]

The picture is fine for me if not a little small.

[Grizzaholic]

wow our d looks flat again. if they dont step up it will be a long day for us....we need to score. every time i use channelsurfing.net it freezes????

Funny, I have never had a problem with that site. There are a couple others that I have tried and I end up getting pissed and just listening the the radio feed on the net.

[elcid03]

El Cid needs this win. I think the last time we beat App State was 2003? Not sure.

[BullDog85]

Dogs defense hold App - misses FG AGAIN!

[Skjellyfetti]

App has a nice drive and stalls inside of the 10 yard line again............


And miss another short field goal.


WHAT THE ****

[elcid03]

Wow...another missed FG! Bulldogs up 10-0!

[ElSissy]

WIDE RIGHT!!!

[AppAlum2003]

Cut Vitaris... now.

[Grizzaholic]

El Cid needs this win. I think the last time we beat App State was 2003? Not sure.

Really? 2003 was the last time. From the way some fans talk about THE Citadel, they haven't beaten App St. in a very very long time.xeyebrowx

[Skjellyfetti]

John Wiley and Vitaris aren't my favorite people right now.

[Grizzaholic]

WIDE RIGHT!!!

I think he is banned.xlolx

[T-Dog]

Really? 2003 was the last time. From the way some fans talk about THE Citadel, they haven't beaten App St. in a very very long time.xeyebrowx

App has won 12 of the last 14 meetings.

Armanti has 935 total yards and 12 TD's in his three games vs The Citadel.

[Banks!!!]

Dear god the music between plays at that stadium is hideous.

In other news, I officially hate 3rd and long.

[elcid03]

Yeah, my buddy from App State always talks about it. He was Homcoming King at App st and The Citadel won their homecoming.

[elcid03]

the music between plays is new this year. we are learning!

[Grizzaholic]

App has won 12 of the last 14 meetings.

Armanti has 935 total yards and 12 TD's in his three games vs The Citadel.

Thanks....I guess I could have just glanced at your sig and figured it out.

[ElSissy]

Dear god the music between plays at that stadium is hideous.

In other news, I officially hate 3rd and long.

You have more to worry about than the music.

[Skjellyfetti]

Needed to get on that fumble.

[Skjellyfetti]

DEFENSE MAKES A STOP

IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

[elcid03]

El Cid needs to hold them this drive. Huge drive for App State

[T-Dog]

El Cit's unis looks very much like Chapel Hill's away's including the terrible dark pants.

Of course they wanted us to wear our all blacks.

[ElSissy]

That was an incomplete pass. Typically bad call from the SoCon refs.

[elcid03]

we try to use anything to our advantage. afterall..you are App St.

[Banks!!!]

You have more to worry about than the music.
Huh? You are still the Citadel and we are still ASU. Please.

[Reign of Terrier]

Huh? You are still the Citadel and we are still ASU. Please.

you are still down 10:)

[elcid03]

In football true...you are App St. After that, you lose.

[Skjellyfetti]

you are still down 10:)

You got blown out by Chatty.

[T-Dog]

We need to have an open audition on campus for a FG kicker. Imagine how many people would show up?

[T-Dog]

TD Armanti Edwards! Yay!

[elcid03]

youngterrier, you on the Enterprise? I was on that lovely boat for a few deployments.

[Reign of Terrier]

You got blown out by Chatty.

your losing to the Citadel

[Reign of Terrier]

youngterrier, you on the Enterprise? I was on that lovely boat for a few deployments.

starship:), it's humorxsmiley_wix

[Skjellyfetti]

your losing to the Citadel

For now.

[T-Dog]

Vitaris actually makes the PAT.

10-7 now.

Johnson-Hagood looks a lot like Finley now.

[elcid03]

oh i understand humor. i just did not expect trekkie humor on AGS! funny though.

[elcid03]

huge drive here for the bulldogs

[T-Dog]

A sack! We got a sack!

[elcid03]

I see we are playing rap songs from 1988 in the stadium....we need new music

[Reign of Terrier]

it seems all el cid's QB is doing is running backwardsxconfusedx

[CID1990]

We need to hold off on the mental mistakes. Penalties are killing us more than the ASU defense.

[elcid03]

Blanchard (QB) 20 yd run for 1st down!

[Skjellyfetti]

it seems all el cid's QB is doing is running backwardsxconfusedx

Ran forward that time. ;)xsmhx

[ElSissy]

1st down inside the 30.

[T-Dog]

Blanchard hit the line judge with his pass. The only thing he's hit besides the ground with his passes this drive.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Ankle-Biters tie it up...

7-7.

[elcid03]

Dogs need a score here....need more points before App gets the ball after halftime

[elcid03]

kick is good! 13-7 Bulldogs!!

[Skjellyfetti]

13-7 Citadel

I'll be happy with that at halftime considering the way we have played thus far....

[ElSissy]

13-7 The Citadel going into halftime.

[BullDog85]

Perfect Kick!

[BullDog85]

13-7 at the half! Go Dogs!

[elcid03]

13-7 Bulldogs at half!!

[appirishmen]

Cut Vitaris... now.

amen xbowxxbowxxbowxxbowxxbowx

[appirishmen]

We need to hold off on the mental mistakes. Penalties are killing us more than the ASU defense.

what defense? xoopsxxoopsxxoopsx

[elcid03]

Has Vitaris been like this all season?

[T-Dog]

Has Vitaris been like this all season?


Yes. Missed a chip shot vs McNeese and one vs ECU. He made a good one in the rain last week, but he's been like this for the last two years.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Speaking of kickers, GSU has the best kicker in the SoCon...

just nailed a 47-yarder to take the lead 10-7 offer Wofford. Only missed FG was because the line didn't hold.

We'll trade you our kicker for some of your OL dudes.

[Skjellyfetti]

Speaking of kickers, GSU has the best kicker in the SoCon...

just nailed a 47-yarder to take the lead 10-7 offer Wofford. Only missed FG was because the line didn't hold.

Citadel's guy made a 50 yarder and a 45 yarder.

I give him the edge thus far.

[ddmann]

Help me out here dogs. Is that band on field the the Citadels?

[CID1990]

The band is the U.S. Marine Band.

It is military appreciation day.

[T-Dog]

We'll trade you our kicker for some of your OL dudes.

Howabout two OL decided by a raffle and Vitaris for your kicker and the blue pants. xlolx

[BullDog85]

Correction - that was the US Marine Corp band.

[ddmann]

Thanks Cid1990 I was pretty sure I recognized the insignia, then I thought maybe the citadel had some sort of affiliation with the Marines. BTW do you know what was up with the little kits they all carried?

[BullDog85]

The Citadel sends a lot of grads into the Marine Corp - highest compared to all ROTC units in the country.

[ddmann]

damn that is impressive!

[elcid03]

App St threatening for a TD

[KiddBrewer]

The Citadel sends a lot of grads into the Marine Corp - highest compared to all ROTC units in the country.

nice!xthumbsupxxbowx

[Reign of Terrier]

Armanti walks into the endzone

[Skjellyfetti]

Appalachian State 14
Citadel 13

[theasushow]

that didnt take long.

[T-Dog]

Armanti makes that 14 TD's in his career against the Bellhops.

[T-Dog]

Wow, Jabari with the impressive sack. Not 3 seconds between he snap and the takedown

[Skjellyfetti]

3 and out for Citadel.

Defense looks alive.

[AppStateold299]

nice 3 and out! Armanti gets to do his thing again

[T-Dog]

3 and out for the App Defense. App ball now. The tide has turned big time.

[KiddBrewer]

this terrible first half thing needs to change, now-ish

[T-Dog]

A Ben Jorden sighting!

[AppStateold299]

We are coming out really weak and having to make a second half charge. It puts way too much pressure on them. I hope it changes soon.

[AppStateold299]

didn't mean to hit you in the hands hillary! Catch the ball

[Reign of Terrier]

17-13 App

[theasushow]

i love vitaris!

[Skjellyfetti]

Vitaris kicked the living hell out of that ball.

44 yard kick and it almost went over the scoreboard.

[T-Dog]

Vitaris 44 yd FG good. It would have been good from 60 yards.

I don't get it. He makes the long ones but misses the short ones.

[AppAlum2003]

Vitaris said in last week's postgame that he breaks the cardinal rule of every kicker - he kicks differently based on where the ball is. It's just like a golf swing, every swing should look the same. You can adjust the amount of force you're using, but can't adjust the actual kick. He admits it's a mental thing and he needs to work through it.

In my opinion he should STFU and kick the @$#*&@# ball through the uprights.

[AppStateold299]

he should make all of his field goals, especially the chip shots

[T-Dog]

he should make all of his field goals, especially the chip shots

That's the thing. He makes the long ones, but misses the chip shots.

[AppStateold299]

Armanti is amazing! I wish he would have been good to go at the beginning of the season. We would have had a better start to the season. Cutting his own grass! Why?

[AppStateold299]

Go for it!

[elcid03]

Need a big stop here for the dogs!

[AppStateold299]

Give it to Armanti and he will find a way to get the first down

[CrackerRiley]

Kick the ball... Our defense is showing we can get it back.

[JMU Newbill]

you guys are playing for your playoff hopes today

[CrackerRiley]

Well alright, since we got the first down it was a good call!

[CrackerRiley]

you guys are playing for your playoff hopes today

Every week we'll be doing that.

[AppStateold299]

You are right we almost have to take the rest to get into the playoffs and get a good seed. We are having a questionable season so far, but starting to look strong

[elcid03]

Lets go Dog! 17-13 going into the 4th!

[elcid03]

Big stop Dogs!

[AppStateold299]

that was a weak series! 3rd and 14 and we run the ball? WTF!

[EmeryZach]

Wow, what is wrong with App State? Or should I say, what is right with The Citadel?

[ElSissy]

Touchdown Citadel! Touchdown Bulldogs!

[ddmann]

Oh man that was sweet!!!

[elcid03]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!! 69 yds by a true freshman Van Dyke Jones!!! Citadel up!

[CrackerRiley]

Can't tackle apparently...

[theasushow]

u gotta be kiding me

[elcid03]

20-17 Bulldogs!!

[AppStateold299]

WHAT THE $^@!

You have to be kidding me! We are going to tackle like powder puffs! No excuse for that one going to the house

[RabidRabbit]

App! xeekxxeekx Where did that D learn to tackle? That's :pumpuke:

[mtgrizfan4life]

That was worse tackling or non tackling than the GRIZ against NAU. ASU doing a lot of uncharacteristic things today.

[AppStateold299]

Our defense is horrible this year! We can't do anything right throughout the game. I mean it is ridiculous!

[elcid03]

kickoff out of bounds. cannot make mistakes like that if you want to win.

[AppStateold299]

It is putting way too much pressure on our offense to score on almost every possession. I mean we scored 35 and still lost

[CrackerRiley]

It is putting way too much pressure on our offense to score on almost every possession. I mean we scored 35 and still lost

exactly... agreed

[ddmann]

That was worse tackling or non tackling than the GRIZ against NAU. ASU doing a lot of uncharacteristic things today.

I actually broke my keyboard last week after I slammed my fist one two many times, that was atrocious tackling last week.

[AppStateold299]

Blake Elder is doing great! Another Mountaineer 1st down

[elcid03]

Dogs need a stop...BAD!

[AppStateold299]

Nice 1st down! Let's poke it into the endzone

[EmeryZach]

What a great game. I wish I could see CitDog right now.

[CrackerRiley]

Punch it in here Apps! We already know we can't get points from the kicking game with this field position.

[AppStateold299]

This is not a game that should make me this nervous, but every game makes me nervous this year with a defense that is so sketchy

[CrackerRiley]

"flag down on the play, we'll see what this is all about" lol

[elcid03]

3rd penalty all game for both teams combined!

[CrackerRiley]

huge 3rd down... lets go!

[Skjellyfetti]

oh god, please make this, vitaris.....

[CrackerRiley]

kick this damn ball thru the uprights!

[elcid03]

I love the air raid horn in the background.

[Reign of Terrier]

good

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Citadel's guy made a 50 yarder and a 45 yarder.

I give him the edge thus far.

We now have a 50 yarder and a 47 yarder
xsmiley_wix

[CrackerRiley]

20 ALL

[AppStateold299]

I'm pleasantly surprised! I mean it was a small kick so I didn't know if he could make it through

[elcid03]

you guys gonna let vitaris live now?

[ddmann]

I love the horn!! Can only imagine what WAGriz would be like with that going off every 3rd down!

[jmufan999]

how much time left?

[elcid03]

HUGE KICKOFF RETURN!! 55 yds for The Citadel!

[ElSissy]

Great kick return.

[Skjellyfetti]

xsmhx

[AppStateold299]

TACKLE THEM!!!

[elcid03]

Get this in the endzone! BTW, the play clock did not reset.

[AlphaSigMD]

I know that we get everyone's best shot, but this is starting to get ridiculous. I wonder what the percentage of this is the citadel playing inspired football, and how much of it is our defense taking a nap.

[CrackerRiley]

We'll take that penalty

[CrackerRiley]

xoopsxxoopsxxoopsxxnonono2x

[CrackerRiley]

Around 6 mins left in the game

[EmeryZach]

Touchdown El Cid!!!!!

[AlphaSigMD]

Somebody please make a tackle

[jmufan999]

thank you, cracker. that sounds like i'm throwing out an insult. ha.

good luck to you both.

[Skjellyfetti]

There better be a hold on that. Our DE got taken down..........

[ddmann]

LOVE those broken plays!

[elcid03]

Touchdown Cadets!!!

[ElSissy]

Touchdown Citadel! Touchdown Bulldogs!

[EmeryZach]

Wow, what is up with the tackling?

[AppStateold299]

AGAIN! Come on App! We can't stop anyone. I mean not taking anything away from Citadel, they are playing great, but we are playing like crap (defensively)

[AppStateold299]

It is going to be Armanti and crew to the rescue again...hopefully!

[unigriff]

GO CITADEL!!!!!

App State 1-3???? It just might happen!!!!

[CrackerRiley]

Oh wow, Armanti just set the all-time passing yardage record.xsmileyclapx
Passed good ol Richie xthumbsupx

[T-Dog]

74 yard TD Armanti to Quick!

[B&G]

TD Quick... literally.

[ElSissy]

[Skjellyfetti]

[CrackerRiley]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!! TD Brian Quick!!!!

[AppStateold299]

GO CITADEL!!!!!

App State 1-3???? It just might happen!!!!

It might, but not just yet! Way to go Quick & Armanti! Now, we have to turn it back over to our defense to make a freakin stop.

[unigriff]

So much for that;) 74 yd by Amanti...27 all...lots of time left!
GO Cit!

[ElSissy]

[AppAlum2003]

We forgot what that is here in Boone.

[AppStateold299]

I mean what does our offense have to do? Our defense can't do anything right!

[KiddBrewer]

why the hell cant we tackle?

bueller?

[ElSissy]

We need to keep the ball inbounds.

[dungeonjoe]

[CrackerRiley]

App starts with the ball on the 3 yard line......

[ElSissy]

Appy takes possession on their own 2-yd line with about 1:30 left.

[AppAlum2003]

NC Central's offense licking their chops right now

[AppStateold299]

Let's go Armanti! Head down the field again

[CrackerRiley]

1 min left aand rolling

[ElSissy]

Looks like Appy taking it to overtime.

[KiddBrewer]

please

[ddmann]

I suspect App is playing for OT What y'all think?

[KiddBrewer]

**** who knows

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Come on dogs...blow this SoCon race wide open.

[Skjellyfetti]

I don't like playing for overtime with a questionable field goal kicker....

[EmeryZach]

App might be killing themselves by not going for the first down

[CrackerRiley]

We have to get a first down if we're playin for OT

[AppStateold299]

Come on boys! Let's stop playing for overtime. We need to just play & who knows what will happen

[RabidRabbit]

Attendence 14,237? If so, NICE!

[EmeryZach]

Almost a safety, what are they thinking?

You get a holding call in the endzone and that's the game!

[elcid03]

almost a safety!!!!!

[ElSissy]

Appy has to punt.

[T-Dog]

http://rosswhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/mr_horse_as_a_gi.png

No sir, I don't like it.

[KiddBrewer]

i dont know if i can listen to this crap

[CrackerRiley]

WTF was that playcall!!!

Seriously, I do not get this!!!

[Skjellyfetti]

Sam Martin needs to kick the **** out of this and we need good coverage

[ddmann]

Gawd I love FCS football

[AppStateold299]

Holy $**^! This game is about to kill me. I can't take this crap

[Skjellyfetti]

Not good at all............

[ninjaGriz]

ASU takin a page out of Hauck's book and playing not to lose rather than play to win....

[ElSissy]

:21 two timeouts and possession at the Appy 47

[CrackerRiley]

they need like 10 yards to get in field goal range...

[KiddBrewer]

that was helpful!

[unigriff]

this is awsome what a game!

[B&G]

Blocked FG for a TD? I can dream can't I???

[CrackerRiley]

2and14. cid with 1 timeout and 16 secs left

[AppStateold299]
