The 16th Annuall GreatAppSt Countdown starts right now!!!
Yes, It's that time again girls n' boys, WOOOOT!!!

Fall weather, outdoor culinary delights, spirits, ;-} and gatherings of friends young and old will soon be here.

I know that if you're here reading this you're looking forward to football with as much enthusiasm and anticipation as I am.
15 Years and still going strong, I'd like to thank all the fans from many teams and different boards, who have joined in and expressed their enjoyment of the countdown over many years. Again, it has been and is still a great pleasure for me to do the countdown for Y'all.


Now on to the same ol' yearly intro!!!!

The G.A.S. Countdown is NOT just the often used, automatic backwards clock ticker (when I started this there were no others of any kind that I could find and trust me I looked). This countdown IS a work of passion for the enjoyment of others and myself. The G.A.S. countdown IS the often IMITATED but never duplicated ORIGINAL (like Carolina BBQ) build up to a new season of thrills, chills, and spills. Fun for ALL and all are welcomed along for the, Worlds Best Countdown!

THE RULES
1.) This is the G.A.S. Countdown.


2.) Only Full 24 hr Calendar Days
left before 12:01am of gameday are counted. The day before gameday is counted at Zero, as there are only hours till gameday left then.


3.) I countdown to Gameday, the beginning of what my heart is passionate for, the start of APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITIES FOOTBALL SEASON!!!


4.) Barring catastophic events the day will be posted this is my pledge. Please be patient it may be later in the evening before I have a chance to post.


5.) Follow up posts with player info from other I-AA teams are encouraged and warmly welcomed. I love reading about players bios and stats from the completion.


6.) I understand that some teams start their season before ASU and some after, this is the case every year. I assume most CNS posters have or are working on some level of higher education. So if your team has one of the other start dates just subtract or add those days in your head for your own count. Please just post your player with the rest of us, your more than welcome to do so without starting a new thread with a different count. It clutters the board. Please post follow-ups and make-up posts to the current days thread only, it's very confusing to look at the board and 86 days is ahead of 80 days which is ahead 79 days. Even if you miss a day or several days of posting players, just add it to the current days thread, we'll more than understand . Thanks, Y'alls help for a smooth countdown will be much appreciated.

No, CSD. Anyway, nobody else really wanted to join in. Thought it was a stupid idea and waste of time. Had an occasional other person post. I will, however, do TXST again this year.

Thanks for getting it started. I will add TXST daily when I am not at work so the time will vary.

It started on AGS and moved to CS. Like most interesting posters did.
