With our new additions it's probably time to update the "what's your school's main message board thread".

Can we get this done?

I tried this once. I think the mods quit.

And maybe hand a few bans around.......?

Curious... Who is Yosef and what relevance does he have to App State?

Yosef is the name of our mascot.

Curious... Who is Yosef and what relevance does he have to App State?

From App's Media Guide:
Yosef is mountain talk for “yourself,” with the idea being that if you are an Appalachian alumnus, fan or friend and have a heart filled with black and gold, you are Yosef. In preparing the layout for the 1942 edition of Appalachian’s annual yearbook, The Rhododendron, editor James Storie and associate editor Elizabeth South (who later married in June 1942) were talking with freshman Lloyd S. Isaacs and Bill Mitchell of Observer Publishing about being one picture short of a perfectly balanced annual. The result of their chatter was the creation of a character named Dan’l Boone Yoseff from Appalachian. He was presented as a member of the 1941-42 freshman class. Each member of the foursome deflected credit for the creation of Yosef. Although called the Mountaineers, Appalachian had no mascot prior to Yosef. There were no plans in 1942 for Yosef to continue and evolve into what he is today. His initial publication was such a hit that students went so far as to want to order picture packages of Yosef instead of pictures of themselves. Undoubtedly, the caricature, the name and the idea appealed to Appalachian students. There is a controversy as to where the original image of Yosef came from, and who was responsible for the picture. Accounts mention having a bookstore staff member generate a sketch, but an artist in Charlotte has also been credited with the creation of the mountain man. The next mention of the fictional character came during the years of 1946-49 when Yoseff served as a guest editorial writer in the student newspaper (The Appalachian). He wrote using mountain colloquialism with a penchant for misspelled words. Yoseff dropped the second “f” and became Yosef in January of 1947. On Nov. 22, 1947, the University sponsored a Mr. and Mrs. Yosef contest. Skills needed for the titles included hog and chicken calling. The first mention of Yosef as the mascot of the Mountaineers is a picture in the March 12, 1948 edition of The Appalachian. The photo tabbed him as a perennial freshman. In 1949, John Geffrich, a 48- year-old World War II veteran, was one of the first Yosef mascots. Geffrich helped establish a lineage of male undergraduates portraying a bearded man with coveralls, a pipe and a straw hat. The addition of a musket and a black-and-gold pick-up truck called the “Yosef Mobile” came along through the generations of Yosef. In the early 1980s opinions began to sound that Yosef was too ugly and that his appearance needed to be altered. The need for a more dignified mascot, away from the slouchy, flea-bitten character, was evident. Prior to the 1983-84 academic year, a committee comprised of university students, staff and faculty members modernized Yosef’s look through a cartoon-type head and body. Responsible for providing school spirit, Yosef is a member of the cheerleading squad. He was an integal part of Appalachian’s 1986 and 1989 UCA Division I and 2008 Speed Squad, Inc. Large Squad national championships. Yosef goes to mascot instructional camp with the cheerleaders each

I opened the thread for App and Ga Southern fans to update their main forum's. Ill close it once they are finished.

Well, correction. Now its open.

For NMSU there are two sites that are active.

Crimson To the Core and Aggie Alert. After basketball season AA is not very active. Crimson to the Core remains to be seen, it has only been around sense last August.

Tried to sign up for the App board but it won't take my security question answer.

Unless I have forgotten basic math, it's not working. Any help from App fans?

The same thing happens to me! I type in five (assuming your question was what is one plus four), but apparently that's just not good enough -_-

I put your post on the board so someone can take a look at the issue.

Had the same thing happen to me about half dozen times within the last couple of
months since I was changing my picture and login late one night and it
normally will not log me in, and still have not been able to change my password
from whatever they sent me when was using my old computer.
