I'm with you, brother - is it my turn, or your turn, to anoint His feet with oil?

I'm still waiting to save enough money to visit the FCS Mecca, maybe then I can enter the lottery and sacrifice my first newborn so I can touch his feet with my black and gold pompoms. Hopefully he'll rub some excellence on them.

At first I thought that it was just the App State homers who didnt understand the game of football, now I realize it is FCS fans all around the country. To act as it if it absurd that anyone would suggest that the best team actually lost a football game is just sad. This happens all the time, and a clearcut case of this was Saturday at the "rock." There is no doubt about it.

If you can't spot the crazy person on the bus, it's you.

So, App-a-latch-un... since you were actually there, I'm dying to know.

How did it feel to get so utterly and thoroughly dominated by a team that didn't beat you?

It's ok. We all sympathize with your humiliation.

Other than the item I bolded...where does this "domination" show up? I witnessed a defensive battle at KBS that left me impressed with Chatty and ASU's D.

So what have we learned here through 26 pages of posts and replies.... UTC was the better team on this day even though the scoreboard showed otherwise. Taking care of the football is not a priority for the Mocs. Defensives that take advantage of the opponents mistakes makes them lucky, but it doesn't make the offense careless....When and if the Mocs lose again the rest of the SoCon faithful should be prepared to suffer through more long drawn out posts from ChattownMocs as to why they were superior but couldn't prove it on the scoreboard.

As most fans who actually have any knowledge of the game know, The better team doesnt always win. I hate to repeat myself over and over but these idiots cant seem to grasp this easy point. When a team is outplayed in almost every area of the game all night and gets a few lucky breaks to win a game that doesnt make them the better team. It makes them lucky.

It ceertainly wasnt domination in any specific area. It was an overall control of a football game issue. Here is a stat that you fail to consider. Chattanooga was in your red zone 5 times. You got inside the Chattanooga 37 1 time in the game. Your football team couldnt even come close to scoring. See you might actually have to watch a game to pick up on stuff like this. Only an Appalachian fan would watch a game, and then look at a box score and find out what happened.

When a team is outplayed in almost every area of the game all night and gets a few lucky breaks to win a game that doesnt make them the better team. It makes them lucky.

It was not luck that 2 huge Chattanooga mistakes were turned into touchdowns by Appalachian, it was the ASU defense and specials teams making plays. ASU had a bad snap on a chip shot FG as well and although it resulted in a missed opportunity for points, our holder recovered and we got off an attempt. When it happened for UTC, the holder could not field the ball and the kicker watched as Rodger Walker ran it in 70+ yards. Presley threw 2 INT's as well but our receivers swarmed the defender on both occasions and did not allow a long return. Coleman's first INT floated in the air for plenty of time after bouncing off a receiver but still nobody even touched Kimbrough on his way into the end zone. Winning teams make big plays like that and you can call it luck all you want, but it seems odd to me that the 6-5 teams are always the ones with the bad luck, year after year. The fact is that UTC is not quite there yet, nobody on that team has experience winning big games.

They still have a great opportunity to make the playoffs and I expect them to do so, but blaming all your team's shortcoming on luck and not acknowledging their obvious propensity for big mistakes late in close games is a loser's mentality.

Son, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

The only stat that matters at the end of the day is what it says on the scoreboard. Yards given up, yards gained, first downs....none of that matters if you don't score the most points.

I have never seen a more blatant head in the sand response to the outcome of a game played by NCAA rules in my life. xlolx

Cam Newton threw for 422, 2TD's and 1 int in a loss to Arizona week 1. Was Carolina the better team?

He threw for 432 in week 2, 1TD, 3 Int's in a loss vs. Green Bay. Scoreboard errantly gave the win to GB, despite a seemingly better offensive performance by the kitties.

You know what? Despite two amazing passing performances the Panthers entered week 3 with two losses (using TD's as a proxy for how good the teams were). If BJ had thrown for 900 yards and circumstances occurred that drove defensive scores that more than offset UTC scoring, should that count? Maybe we should have "do overs" when an interception, fumble recovery, or bad snap occur. Or maybe defensive scores should only be for 3 points since they really aren't indicative of how good a team is? Chatty kept ASU out of the end zone with their great defense, but our crappy defense who took advantage or forced mistakes on UTC are lesser?

None of it is worth more than any other when it comes to who the better team is. The winner of a game ultimately is the goal. But coming out of that game, who actually played better and has the best team going forward is certainly up for discussion after a game like that. And after watching it I would have to go with the Chattanooga mocs.

But from what I've seen, they weren't as lucky as you are trying to imply. You may have been more in control on offense, however they made the plays they had to make to win the game. That doesn't scream lucky to me. That means they know how to win games.

Good example..not..as to your last point, good argument for me. One defense kept the otehr team out of the end zone with one exception despite allowing the other team to get close time and again. And came up with a deperation pick and caught an easy tipped ball after the Wide out tipped it to them. The other defense kept the other team from coming close to scoring. So ultimately as long as no points are on scored, the "scoreboard" doesnt know the difference. But in reality the more successful team was the one who got closer. So it may not "count" But it does give us an idea of who the teams are. Because everything but the fluke plays are probably going to repeat themselves for these teams as the year goes on.

Maybe you should have attended one of those "Football 101" classes they do for women early in the season since the goal of the game has escaped you. One of, if not the first sentences would likely be "The winner is determined by who scores the most points." The depth and insight you've displayed and the complete disregard for the opinions of some very knowledgeable folks on this forum borders on lunacy.

They know how to make the opposing longsnapper make a bad snap? Make a wideout tip the ball up in the air for an easy pick?

Those lucky breaks were App State capitalizing on Chatty's mistakes right? Remember the old addage - "Offense wins games, but defense wins championships" It doesn't matter that Chatty was in the red zone 5 times if they could not capitalize on it. Just because you get there doesn't make you good.

If your QB didn't throw a pick..App wouldn't have scored. If you could hold on to the ball, App wouldn't have scored....that's not luck, that's capitalizing on opportunities created.

Not really sure how that example solidifies anything you've said. I guess we should thank your WR for tipping the ball - maybe he was throwing the game? There should be an investigation.
Are you advocating "do-overs" or lower points for defensive scores? That's what it sounds like if you agree with my last point. xcoffeex

Pick 6s arent that rare. They arent very lucky either when they occur as normal. The corner or safety or LB reads the CB and steps up and makes the play. But for a reciever to not expect the ball on a quick little slant and stick a hand out and tip it up in the air, right to a fat little LB who has a clear path to the goal line is a fluke. To have a longsnapper randomly snap a ball so poorly that it bounces of a lineman's leg and then ricochets all the way accross the field where a defender can scoop and run all the way for a td is a fluke.

Actually, my post about ASU getting dominated was meant to be entirely sarcastic.

ASU might have gotten a little bit of a break, but they certainly weren't dominated in any facet of the game, and even if they were, it doesn't matter because they won.

I think that chattownmocs is just as bat**** crazy as you guys. He's off his rocker and can't deal with the fact that good teams can beat his merry band of All-World supermen even without the benefit of an offensive point.

Sorry to have botched up my sarcasm in the first post. It looks like you spent a good long while trying to prove me wrong on something I would have agreed with you on all along. :D

No no, the point of this thread is that chattownmocs has an opinion that Chattanooga has a better football team than Appalachian State, and is unable to understand that what he has is just an opinion, treating it as if it's somehow the absolute word of god (and anyone with a differing opinion?

I had a high school football coach that used to always say 'Excuses only satisfy the people that make them'. You are still in high school, right? It is a damn shame that none of the football players even have the decency to impart some similar knowledge on you before your daily wedgie.

And your last desperate attempt has failed. Once again the scoreboard does not show who the better team is. It simply shows the score. Anyone who would look at a 14-12 score and oretend that proves that one team is better than the other simply doesnt know the game.

Ahhhhhhh, so the better team has lost 25 out of the last 28 times that we have played each other. I hope we are never the better team when we play y'all.

It ceertainly wasnt domination in any specific area. It was an overall control of a football game issue. Here is a stat that you fail to consider. Chattanooga was in your red zone 5 times. You got inside the Chattanooga 37 1 time in the game. Your football team couldnt even come close to scoring. See you might actually have to watch a game to pick up on stuff like this. Only an Appalachian fan would watch a game, and then look at a box score and find out what happened.

xlolx xlolx xlolx

Actually Chattown, I just simply copied and pasted the team statistics have fun with cceagle--I'm not interested in comparing the stats that aid your moral victory. As to watching the game, I was actually there and it sucked to watch, save for two plays. Our offense was horrible, but our defense did enough to win--I left feeling lucky we won.

I'm not arguing with you...Chatty played a better game, but failed to convert when it needed to. Seems to me that had a little bit to do with Chatty's offense and a little to do with ASU's defense. I'm also not looking at the box score to see what happened, I was having a little fun with a GSU fan.

BTW, I'm a fan of your work...something not seen in these parts since the great alexale. I urge you to keep it up.

Actually, my post about ASU getting dominated was meant to be entirely sarcastic.

ASU might have gotten a little bit of a break, but they certainly weren't dominated in any facet of the game, and even if they were, it doesn't matter because they won.

I think that chattownmocs is just as bat**** crazy as you guys. He's off his rocker and can't deal with the fact that good teams can beat his merry band of All-World supermen even without the benefit of an offensive point.

Sorry to have botched up my sarcasm in the first post. It looks like you spent a good long while trying to prove me wrong on something I would have agreed with you on all along. :D

I figured as such, so I thought I'd indulge in a chattown-esque response. Actually, it was no trouble...just copy and paste from goasu.com.

Please see your original post and then explain yourself, as that is exactly what you've been doing the entire thread.

Thank you for finally acknowledging you do not know the game.

The only people who think that the best team wins every game apparently are the knowledge-lacking FCS fans that frequent this board. Its pretty obvious that I am correct when instead of arguing that Appalachian State was the better team and that they play better, the argument is that they are better simply because they won a home game. Absurdity.

No, they are better because they almost ALWAYS win their home games. This was not a one-time occurance, ASU is 58-4 their last 62 home games. We have lost exactly 3 SoCon games at home since 1998. It is a program accustomed to winning. The worst season any player on the ASU roster has been a part of is 10 wins and an appearance in the National Quarterfinals. UTC does not have one player or coach that has seen the playoffs (as a member of the UTC staff). Until they can PROVE they are better on the field by actually winning a game against ASU, there is no argument for them being a better team.

Absurdity is expecting anyone to believe that a team with a perennial 6-win ceiling is better than the 6X defending conference champions just because they almost beat them twice.

In my earlier statement, I meant that as of right now, they have not had overall success or success vs. ASU. Therefore, there is no real rationale for saying they are a better team.

Of course there is a chance, I was just having some fun. I fully expect UTC to make the playoffs and once you are in, there is always a chance. There are a handful of teams I would put ahead of Chattanooga (and ahead of ASU as well for that matter), but they should get their shot. They are obviously a well-coached team, very good defensively and have a nice passing game. Their problem will be correcting the kicking game which always seems to bite them in close games and developing a consistent ground game to become balanced on offense. No matter how good your passing game is, it can be stopped if you become one-dimensional. A lot can change in the next couple of months and if they improve enough, I would not be surprised to see them make a run. I would be surprised if they won it all though.

With your offensive line, no I don't think they have a chance. BJ might not make it through the season either. Wofford and GSU's defensive line will hit him often and hard.

Every team has a limited amount of resources (practice time, scholarships, etc.). Some teams chose to dedicate their resources to offense and defense and overlook special teams. UTC has obviously chosen to divert their resources to offense and defense and neglect special teams (see other ST stats... not just the ASU game). This has made their team better on O and D, but it caught up to them Saturday when their ST couldn't get it done. It is not a fluke when a team with poor ST loses to a team with good ST, especially when the deciding points happened on a ST play.

It seems that you have come to the comclusion that Chattanooga lost the special teams battle. Rightfully so because that one play was definitely the turning point in that game. But then again overall, the mocs won the majority of the special teams battle, they won the field position battle easily. They had a better FG percentage. It just came down to one bad snap. Which happens but for the other team to be able to pick it up and score a TD is fluky.

You bring up a good point. I noticed that every UTC punt took a UTC bounce/roll and every ASU punt took a UTC bounce/roll. That is more of luck / fluke than a bad snap that is quickly picked up and ran back. The bad snap showed poor skill on UTC and great awareness and athletecism on ASU's part. The lucky bounces for UTC were just that... luck.

Well, yes and no... punting a football is a very specific technique and the great ones can be very precise with it. For example, how often do you see an NFL punter boot a ball 50 yards and then have it bounce backwards? Sam has been on point all season but he sure was not on Saturday.

You have so many plays on offense/defense that you have plenty of chances to make up for your mishaps. The thing about special teams is you have such a limited opportunity to make an impact, you cannot afford any slip-ups. Chattanooga had a big one and it cost them.

Actually it seemed that neither team wanted to return a punt, Appalachiant state had a near 70 yard punt right after we had our 60+ yarder. If you think angled punts that roll are more rare than a chip shot FG snapped off a lineman's lef returned for a td, Id have to say, you havent watched much football.

You know, you might be onto something there. In 1999, a funny, single bounce of the football, in Boone NC, caused Georgia Southern to lose by a single point. GSU was ranked #1, and in their superior skill, blocked a punt. Again, due to Georgia Southern's superior skill, the Mountaineers were backed up near their goal line. GSU blocks the punt, which hits that Boone turf and was propelled at light speed through the endzone for a safety. Free kick ensues, Georgia Southern only gets a field goal on the ensuing drive. Yes, everyone knows had we received the punt at midfield we would have scored a TD, and then won the game. But no, ASU was the benefit of a fluke play. [/sarcasm]

And of course, GSU went on to win the 1999 National Championship. (The moral of the story). App's luck ran out in the opening round of the playoffs, as they became perhaps the only SoCon team to lose in the first round to a MEAC team, which that year happened to be a very, very good FAMU team.

We also beat the pants off of Chattanooga that year .... by the narrow margin of 49-10.

"Huesman’s question was magnified against blitz-happy Appalachian State, which likely produced a game film now serving as a blueprint to the rest of the Southern Conference."

sigh...just leave it up to ASU to set the blueprint on how to beat a team. SOCON can thank them later.

Samford W 24-9
Wofford L 28-27 (last chance at a statement game)

When the same old thing happens again this coming year, he will hide and then reappear at the end of the year to tell how good UTC will be the upcoming year.

1) App will lose at least two conference games
2) UTC will go 9-2
3) UTC will win the SoCon

Given that the 2 incorrect statements were so hilariously off-base and the rest was just subjective, barely coherent sour grapes, I'd say the thread bump was well deserved.

Nobody is getting banned for having an unpopular opinion on FCS matters. You are much closer than him because you frequently (as do I) use speech not exactly germane and you (and I) are not even close to that banned fringe.

He's like Omar from "The Wire". He's pretty bad *** and you'd expect to find him using "bad language" etc. but in reality it just isn't there it's just your perception of the character.

Wasn't my intention and I did give it some thought but Omar was my favorite thing on the show whether or not he was swinging the other way.

My parallel is simply that chattown says things that carry an impact that would normally be associated with much harsher delivery and language even though it's delivered without it. That's a pretty fair talent if you ask me.

Sorry, but when you make the round of 16 out of 120 programs, and win 8 DI games, you don't get to use the word "scrub" or "joke." Not that Chattanooga would know anything about either of those.

It's like calling the MSU team that was pretty lucky to beat us in 2010 a "scrub" "joke" team. Just makes me look like a bitter toolbag

I know, I was just giving you a hard time. You are correct though; even on a cast full of great characters, Omar always stood out. Bunk and McNulty did have some pretty great moments but Omar is probably my favorite as well. The scene where he is on the witness stand to testify against Bird is an absolute classic.

He does have a way of getting under people's skin even without using harsh language so I see the parallel. Well, minus the shotgun and all.

Kids, this is a great thread to explore the Kubler-Ross model, found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model) as it relates to a couple of Appalachian football opponents.

The 5 stages are:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

In this thread, it is clear that Chattown is around stage 1.5. Clearly he has an animosity towards ASU for no apparent reason; ASU and Chattanooga are not historical rivals and ASU shows little to no return hate for UTC outside of Chattown himself. In fact, ASU fans have such fond memories of trips to Chattanooga (notably in 2005, 2006, and 2007) that they may find a comfort in traveling to the nice Tennessee town. I was there for the game in 2010 and came away very impressed with the town and Finley Stadium. The potential is certainly there for Chattanooga to be a SoCon winner.

While these are symptoms of Stage 2, he also clearly does not understand how to eat any crow. UTC was going to "arrive" two seasons ago, and looked to be doing a fine job of that until the wheels came off with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter against, coincidentally, ASU. That was the first game of the year, and it appears the Mocs never fully recovered from that collapse and missed the playoffs in 2010. Last season, Chattown burst onto AGS with a bang, once again touting UTC as the new power in the Southern Conference, and, for some odd reason, decided to take direct aim at ASU in doing so. Once again, Chattanooga started the non-conference season well, and, as an ASU fan, I'll admit, I was worried about ASU's upcoming tilt with the Mocs. However, once again, with ample opportunities to win the game (ASU never scored an offensive touchdown that day) once again, the Mocs came up short. Thus began this thread, and thus began yet another disappointing season of Moc football, full of near-misses and disappointments. Strangely enough, around Week 5, Chattown disappeared. This is Stage 1: Denial.

On the other side of the coin, it's clear that Cmitty, a Western Carolina fan, has accepted (stage 5) that WCU football is well behind their western North Carolina rival in ASU. Cmitty, at least, has a sense of humor about the plight of his football program. Celebrating the small victories and laughing off the bad losses makes fandom a whole heck of a lot easier than constant bitterness.

So, we can blame New Coke for Chattanooga's fall from grace? Or was it We Are the World, or maybe, Marty McFly.

Nice dead cat bounce in 1988. I blame the picture of Michael Dukakis in the tank.

LOL...that is awesome...it was New Coke's fault!

In reality, it was a string of poor choices of AD's, who made equally bad decisions in their coaching hires...once you get on the downward spiral, man it's hard to pull out of it.

Of course, the App person only showing up to 1985 is just being a good politician...only showing the good side and none of the warts.

Bitterness goes both ways, I have met old-school ASU fans that are still bitter about the 72 the Mocs put up on them in 1978. When I joke that "I think ASU has evened up that score up in the last 20 years", they respond "well, maybe" (which is code for, "not really") :)

I don't go around bragging that we beat App 13-7 games in 1965-1985...


Considering over half those games came when both school were Non-DI, yeah, I wouldn't be bragging much about them either. On the other hand, the 77-84 games mentioned about Chattanooga were all DI and conference games.

It should also be pointed out that Chattanooga won (or shared) the SoCon 4 times in that period.

He wasn't cherry picking years here and there, he chose a starting point and listed the results of the most recent games. Big difference.

Of course my starting point was strategic, I was using it to explain why he has such disdain for Appalachian to the point that he would be literally the ONLY voter with App outside the top 25. When Chattanooga starts their extended run of domination over ASU that chattown has been predicting, feel free to start at the beginning when rubbing it in our faces in future posts.

I have to admit, the first thing that crossed my mind was also that the list of ASU games started in 1985.

I guess no one wants to mention the late 70's when Chattanooga was pretty much the 800 pound gorilla in the SoCon.

Maybe this is why...

1977 UTC 14, ASU 7
1978 UTC 72, ASU 14
1979 UTC 24, ASU 21
1980 UTC 14, ASU 7
1981 ASU 31, UTC 14
1982 UTC 50, ASU 7
1983 UTC 30, ASU 9
1984 UTC 21, ASU 20

UTC won 7 of the first 8 in the series...including what has to be ASU's worst modern day beating. Yeah, I can see why this didn't get mentioned. ;)

Chatty was hardly the 800 pound gorilla in the late 1970s because there was a lot of parity in the conference at that time. Plus, UTC only won the SoCon outright in 1979. They split with VMI and Furman in 77 and 78. Plus, during that decade the conf schedules were 5 games. Every now and then schools in the conference didnt play each other. In 1979 UTC went 5-1.

Versus The Citadel in the 1970s:

1970 UTC 29-28
1971 El Cid 52-35
1972 El Cid 12-0
1973 El Cid 28-20
1975 UTC 24-6
1976 El Cid 14-10
1977 UTC 21-14
1979 UTC 28-7

Hardly a dominating presence against what was a .500 team during that period.

There were no real standouts in the SoCon in the late 1970s. In fact, during the entire decade, no SOCon champ had a perfect conference record.

If any SoCon team could be considered an 800 pound gorilla in the 1970s, it would have to be ECU until they left.

2009)Hold on for our Dear lives, 2010)Get slaughtered for 3 quarters before finally waking up and outplaying the other team soundly in the 4th. 2011)Get out executed for 4 quarters. Never really outplay the other team at any point. Get a few breaks that determine a defensive struggle. All the while the other team continues to build depth and talent while your team either regresses or stays stagnant in those departments.

Yet they put 3 W's up on the board...

Does how they played matter? Nope. W-L...that's it.

Well, they certainly played like a scrub defense in that game but overall Chattanooga had the best defense in the Southern Conference by a fairly wide margin.

They are the best team in all statistical categories except the one that says how many games they won.
