ASU VS NC Central Game Thread

[ASU_Fanatic]

Homecoming week! I'm pumped!After the game I plan on going to Ghost Train for a celebration, lol. :)

I know it's a little early, but who cares?

[DSUrocks07]

One thing I'll say about the Eagles.

They're willing to play anybody xthumbsupx

Looking forward to playing them in the MEAC.

Oh, by the way, that's not GOLD, that's yellow - xlolxxlolxxlolxxnodxxnodxxnodx

[Skjellyfetti]

Oh, by the way, that's not GOLD, that's yellow - xlolxxlolxxlolxxnodxxnodxxnodx

Well, some things never change. Western is at the bottom of the Socon with no hope of improvement and The Cats is a troll in App threads. xnonox

And, there isn't a "gold" color to choose from. It's either yellow or olive. xcoffeex

[james_lawfirm]

I hope App doesn't expect NCCU to just roll over just because its their homecoming...xwhistlex

No, but if the NCCU players could please quit laughing at our gold jersey-thingies long enough so that we could actually finish this game, I sure would appreciate it. Not to mention that it wold be the polite thing to do - kind of like if you wore a coat & tie to your job as a Wal-Mart greeter.

Don't know about anyone else, but I don't like these unis. I prefer the black jerseys & black pants.

[appstate38]

Still not completely sold on the "gold" jerseys..... But the gold out will be cool.... As my wife puts it, it will show up better... Whatever that means.

Dear Mountaineers,

It wont be 65-0 for a few reasons.

1- App defense isn't that good ,yet.
2- App coaches somehow let other teams score.
3- I hope NCCU isn't that bad.

We might actually be that bad. smh

[biggie]

Look forward to a fun weekend. A cabin for the weekend with 10 friends.

[appirishmen]

lets hope our d shows up to play......if we over look anyone with how poorly they have played, we could pull a UNC-Va. lets hope for a good dominate showing this week!!!

[ASU_Fanatic]

Oh yeah any other Mountaineer fans thrilled about Demery Brewer, I mean he played great against Citadel and he is very quick for a D-Lineman so even if he is underweight maybe his spped can make up for that. He definately needs to see the field more.

Ray has us at a 3-golf ball day for Saturday, hope the forecast gets the possibility of rain out of here by game time...

[jonmac]

http://www.goasu.com//pics11/640/BE/BEDUNHBFTBKXBIT.20090803194428.jpg

I like the "gold" jerseys as long as we stay away from "gold" pants to go with them. WVU looked hideous Thursday night and I let Coach Galloway know about when I saw him this past weekend.

[CrackerRiley]

Well, Boone is having near perfect weather this week with a high of 74 on Friday! Which means... an ugly weekend. I'm going to be really disappointed if we have another cold and rainy Saturday and it looks like that is what we're going to get. xsmhx

[biggie]

Right now believe its mostly rain for the morning and less rain for game time. But a chance of Lows coming down the pipe during the day. So hope it stays away, but can't be nearly as bad as 2 weeks ago.

Will be lucky to see 60 degrees Saturday though.

[KiddBrewer]

ITS NOT GOING TO RAIN...HARD! HAVE FAITH PEOPLE!

[AppAlum96]

All I gotta say is, ASU really needs to be 3-2 come Sunday.

[The Cats]

Well, some things never change....

If you stop trying to pass off yellow for gold, I'd be quite. xrulesx

Aren't you being a bit of a hypocrite? Western Carolina's official colors are purple and gold, correct? xeyebrowx Isn't that YELLOW on the helmet in your avatar? xlolx

Any playmakers that we should keep an eye on to watch?

Good Luckxthumbsupx

[WileECoyote06]

And you should.

Will Scott and Geovine Irvine the WRs. Perhaps you'll see what our fans see; besides the lines; our talent level is better than the way they play. . .

all i can do is wish. Right now, I'm praying that we can keep the margin within 40 points. xeyebrowx

[biggie]

What has caused the INTs? Bad QB play or the lines allowing defenders through to cause bad throws?

Oh and know how many NCCU fans will be driving up the mtn?

Yep!

[ASU_Fanatic]

I think the gold jerseys will be nice for a change, sometimes I get tired of those all black ones.

[CamelCityAppFan]

I don't care if they wear pink & white "Hello Kitty" jerseys, as long as they score > 30 and hold opponents to < 20...

[SumItUp]

I don't care if they wear pink & white "Hello Kitty" jerseys, as long as they score > 30 and hold opponents to < 20...

If you do that every game, you'll be the next national champ. However, the pink 'Hello Kitty' jerseys are going to negatively impact recruiting. xlolx

[crossfire07]

"It has been almost exactly 25 years to the day since the last time ASU lost to an in-state opponent at home — a 34-7 loss to Western Carolina on Oct. 6, 1984. Since that setback, Appalachian is 25-0 versus in-state foes at The Rock." http://www.goasu.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=21500&ATCLID=204810205

impressive much?

[ASU_Fanatic]

It's Game-Day!

[HiHiYikas]

I will never, never, never, never wear anything but black at the Rock on gamedays, so I guess it's a good thing I let my parents take my tickets today.

Gold/Yellow/whatever is a great color, so long as it's limited to about 10 square inches of outlines/piping/highlights on a uniform.

It's a pretty simple choice in my book...

look like this (never mind the fact the Raiders suck)

http://fourhorsementattoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/black-hole.gif

Or look like this

Oh, and the jerseys call to mind the music of my youth...

http://sloblogs.thetribunenews.com/sidetracked/files/2009/04/blind-melon.jpg

I can't imagine how bad it'll suck if ASU loses this game...but I would take some pleasure in reading all the threads from our message-board fanbase about how the horrendous yellow uni's did us in.

Not really,
They only scored because we gave them 2 TO's inside our 20.

They've only had one long drive. I think the time of possession is due more to the two turnovers.

[DSUrocks07]

and the Eagles are currently 0-5?? xeekx

it would be like 9/1/07....but in reverse xwhistlex
(karma is a female dog)

come on NCCU! xlolx

[theasushow]

true, and that would explain the 14 points central has with only 81 total yards. also app had like 30 yards worth of penalties on defense which kept that 3rd drive alive. but once again, app is playing pretty bad, this game should not be tied. (2 turnovers and nearly 50 penalty yards)

[theasushow]

not a terrible first half, offense is on pace to put up 600 yards. but 2 turnovers inside the opponents 30 and 63 penalty yards is inexcusable. defense has looked pretty good, were it not for the turnovers and penalties i think it be more like 35-7. still looking for that complete game from asu.

I know they are trying to sell these to the home crowd (and it was a planned marketing event), but we should have wore these last week when it was 85 degrees in Charleston.

The jerseys would look better with a stripe on the pants. I like the color but not with the all black pants.

Agreed - you'd think the cadets would man up and wear powder blue instead of white....

No one covers the white guy. xlolx

Fun tidbit for the live fans. On the video screen after the 1st TD, where it should have said "Touchdown Run', it said "Touchdown Rum".

I can tell you that the crowd was quite plastered for homecoming. Some not-so-nice sights today, but a really big crowd considering the weather.
