Yet another continuous fun thread to comment on while we're in the last leg of June lol...(AND YES...I'll do basketball schools too)

App State: Obviously when y'all knocked off the Wolverines in 2007 was the first time I ever really can recall seeing/hearing of the Appalachian State Mountaineers

ULM/La-La: Though they were known as Northeast and Southwest Louisiana, they've always been linked with Astate in some shape or form.

UALR: Growing up in central Arkansas, it's pretty common to see/hear some form of UALR. Derek Fisher also made the program a pretty hot topic when he played there from 92-96.

Georgia State: This is going to piss Panther fans off so sorry in advance but until I had heard we extended an offer and GSU accepted, I never really knew who Georgia State was. Afterwards researching the university did I learn they had originally been in the Sunbelt. You can throw both F_Us into this catagory

Georgia Southern: My mother had kept an old t-shirt that was for the 1986 Division I-AA National Championship. Of course this prompted me to read up on them and their impressive resume

South Alabama/MTSU/WKU/Idaho: When I really began to follow astate as a fan, this is when I became familiarized with these schools.

UNT: Technically, when I first saw the movie "Necessary Roughness" lol-My cousin that lived in texas also attended school there as well

Troy/New Mexico State: My elder brother's freshman year at Arkansas was my first trip to fayetteville to visit him and on that day the hogs were taking on a team then known as Troy State Trojans. Again in 2004, my first exposure to the Aggies of New Mexico State.

Texas State: I suppose this could fall in line with UNT and "Necessary Roughness" seeing how the bobcats were the fictionalized villains in the movie and the same time the protagonists lol-but my sister's freshman year at UCA when I visited her the Bears were playing the Bobcats in Conway.

UTA: Going through old programs my parents had from the Astate football games from the 70s I saw one of their opponents were the Mavs-still surprised they lost their program and haven't started one back up.
