If App ends up in NOLA, I now really hope the game is with FAU or Marshall. I think App's only loss against C-USA has come to Southern Miss in 2014, and that was a 21-20 game with a true freshman QB in the first year in FBS.

The latest game was obviously 56-41 against Charlotte with two new coaching staffs. Then you have the 31-3 game against an Old Dominion team that finished 9-3.

Bring on whoever you have.

Lets be honest APP ST has not played any of the top programs in CUSA...

OUD,UNCC, and a 3-9 USM team

2014, 2015, 2016 APP ST would not have stayed with in 10 points of the top 2 teams and with in 14-21 points of the top 4 in 2015. 2017 FAU would have ran APP ST off the field about as bad as the 2015 and 2016 Western teams...offense on those 3 teams were just too good

I personally dont think App St wins vs Marshall, FAU or Western this year. Maybe we will see one of them vs AppST

Please.....anything is possible, but Charlotte gave App all they wanted in Boone. That last app td was off an onside kick. We beat the mess out of Marshall. Dont think they'd beat App.....and I despise App.

None of that relates to a App St vs Marshall game. If it did then Western would have beat the socks off of Marshall since Western beat UNCC limiting them to their 2nd lowest scoring game of the season. Marshall is a different team on the road vs @home...or in a bowl

Sure they are 03-lmfao....... How many bowl games has Marshall played THIS YEAR? Previous years certainly have nothing to do with this year.....if we are going to use that "logic".

RE: Which bowls announce today?
Then it's clear, beyond any doubt now, that ESPN cares nothing about either conference. They should be trying to create compelling bowl games for us that place our teams on the biggest stage possible.

UAB and Appalachian State deserved better bowl opponents, no offense personally to MTSU and NIU. You guys may actually agree.

Both bowl games would have been better if ESPN hadn't been so selfish. As a matter of fact, MTSU probably would have beaten NIU in a great game, and NIU wouldn't have been embarrassed in the process.

It looks like, to me, they were just hellbent on finding the best team possible for what they want to be a "marquee" bowl game, which is ridiculous. None of these G5 bowls can ever be considered "marquee."

This can't continue to happen.

ESPN controls all of this. Nothing is set in stone. ESPN could say "Appalachian State we want you in the Independence Bowl with a P5"... you're going to do it.
The Independence Bowl is not an ESPN-owned bowl. It may have some influence but not 100% like for an owned bowl.

As bad as we were in Charlotte, it was not a beat down.

And yes, we are better at home and in bowls. We just are.

This is very true. Take absolutely nothing away from the Niners. They were the better team. Better prepared, better motivated, and better game plan. We, as usual, got complacent in typical Doc style and you can’t do that agains a highly motivated team who has everything to play for.

But it is also any given Saturday. Who know what would have happened if the game were in Huntington. Or if there were no rain. Point is, that is not how it works. Charlotte kicked our ass.

But Guns is right imho. The transitive property doesn’t exist in college football. We always tend to find a different gear at home (generally) and in bowl games.

To PSC’s point, I’m not sure at this point if we would play any better vs App than Charlotte at this point.

Marshall would have tied Charlotte in the regular season game and defeated them 1-0 in the tournament.

News Release: In a compassionate move the Charlotte 49ers will now be helping Marshall Athletics increase their budget by sending them a check every other season, and in return Marshall will play all games in Charlotte. Marianne Williamson tweeted that she "endorses this intraconference transfer of karmic energy", although she admits to know really knowing what football is.

FAU typically plays much better at the end of the season.

If we really wanted to kill them we would send Marshall. They beat us. FAU I think wants a shot at Independence Bowl.

If App ends up in NOLA, I now really hope the game is with FAU or Marshall. I think App's only loss against C-USA has come to Southern Miss in 2014, and that was a 21-20 game with a true freshman QB in the first year in FBS.

What?

In 2016 when App beat ODU 31-7 ODU was 7-1 in C-USA. In 2015 when App won 44-0 or whatever it was ODU finished 5-7 and 3-5 in conference.

Last year against UNCC finished 5-7 and 4-4 in conference. This year Charlotte went 5-3 in conference and 7-5 overall. App was in their 2nd game with a new head coach and Ted Roof as DC doing what he usually does instead of what should've been done. App was leading 42-20 at one point in that game and scored the most points against them in one season.

You can make suppositions about what WOULD happen but the transitive property doesn't work in football and definitely not against App State. I'm not sure where you get that FAU, WKU, or Marshall would win this season. Outside of Georgia Southern - a game where the temperature dropped 20 degrees during the game, saw rain, sleet, and snow, and had 30 mph sustained winds - App has won their games by an average margin of 22 points.

FAU and WKU may be a good match-up but I've watched both this season (which is really hard to do with your new TV deal by the way, good job there) and have come away unimpressed. I think either of you could beat Cincinnati, and could possibly beat App. But it's not a foregone conclusion. We saw what happened last year in the New Orleans Bowl when C-USA was relieved that their number 2 team drew App so they could actually win a game against an App State team not in transition.

45-13 is how that ended, in case you forgot.

That was October.

Clearly i'm in High Point. Closer to Charlotte. My problem is I don't have a man cave as the extra bedroom in my house turned into a nursery instead of a wall chock full of TV's.

As a viewer of C-USA football, I just come away unimpressed compared to the product it put out pre-2014. The MAC and C-USA are in decline. I'd say C-USA had already his rock bottom and is rebounding but another start-up in ODU just had their worst season, nullifying that. WKU, the second place team in the East, lost to Central Arkansas. And App, as per usual, dominated a mid-tier C-USA team.

I know the final score was 56-41 but the outcome was never really in question. Roof didn't yet know what he was doing with the defense either. App is now 34th in rushing yards allowed, and 10th in passer efficiency defense. Meaning Roof finally figured it out.

Nevermind the fact that Charlotte was the week prior to UNC which it looks like App had been prepping for.

Either way. Just know that I look forward to the trash talk about how overrated App is, once again, prior to NOLA if that's where App ends up. Marshall fans seem to be the only ones here with a healthy respect for App football. As for Charlotte, the mantra can go "they hate us cause they ain't us". And then you go ahead and lose in basketball to App.07-coffee3

And we may not get that chance. Hope enough SEC schools get bumped up to make this a reality. Playing VT in Charlotte >>>>> than FAU/Marshall/USM in NOLA or playing WMU in Mobile.

That's the biggest load of App crap I've ever seen. App was scared shitless in the Charlotte game I know it. I was there. It was obvious amongst your team and fans. It was a one score game in the last 4 minutes. App scored the last TD off an onside kick return , that if Charlotte had recovered, would have almost certainly tied the game. Neither team was able to stop the other in the second half. By the way, Charlotte is now playing MUCH better on both offense and defense than we were when we played App. I guarantee you wouldn't be scoring anywhere near 56 if we played again.

Nevermind the fact that Charlotte was the week prior to UNC which it looks like App had been prepping for.

Either way. Just know that I look forward to the trash talk about how overrated App is, once again, prior to NOLA if that's where App ends up. Marshall fans seem to be the only ones here with a healthy respect for App football. As for Charlotte, the mantra can go "they hate us cause they ain't us". And then you go ahead and lose in basketball to App.07-coffee3

That's the biggest load of App crap I've ever seen. App was scared shitless in the Charlotte game I know it. I was there. It was obvious amongst your team and fans. It was a one score game in the last 4 minutes. App scored the last TD off an onside kick return , that if Charlotte had recovered, would have almost certainly tied the game. Neither team was able to stop the other in the second half. By the way, Charlotte is now playing MUCH better on both offense and defense than we were when we played App. I guarantee you wouldn't be scoring anywhere near 56 if we played again.

The world will never know what could've been if only App and Charlotte played again at the end of the season.

And you didn't recover the onside kick, you didn't score another TD, and you didn't win. Last I checked, special teams is a part of the game as well. One could almost say that was a good play by Evans.

It was 42-20 and in true Roof fashion, he went to prevent. He quit doing that crap after that game.

None of this is to say Charlotte has a bad team because they don't. It's just to say that App won, again. No C-USA team since 2014 has beaten them. Last season they played the number 2 team and handed them their worst loss of the season, by far.

So if App isn't playing Virginia Tech in Charlotte, I hope that they get FAU in NOLA. I also wouldn't be surprised if App goes to Charlotte anyway because NOLA is apparently wanting Louisiana v. Louisiana Tech.

This mid-November game tells you everything you need to know about being in a conference with Appy

ESPN+? I know the internet in Boone can be spotty, but for most people this is one of the easiest ways to see a game.

That was October.

Clearly i'm in High Point. Closer to Charlotte. My problem is I don't have a man cave as the extra bedroom in my house turned into a nursery instead of a wall chock full of TV's.

As a viewer of C-USA football, I just come away unimpressed compared to the product it put out pre-2014. The MAC and C-USA are in decline. I'd say C-USA had already his rock bottom and is rebounding but another start-up in ODU just had their worst season, nullifying that. WKU, the second place team in the East, lost to Central Arkansas. And App, as per usual, dominated a mid-tier C-USA team.

I know the final score was 56-41 but the outcome was never really in question. Roof didn't yet know what he was doing with the defense either. App is now 34th in rushing yards allowed, and 10th in passer efficiency defense. Meaning Roof finally figured it out.

And people were scared, not because of the game, but because of the way the defense was playing. Hard to be dominant for so long and then have Ted Roof be the hire for defense, then see a performance like that in the 2nd game of the year. People were already questioning the hire to begin with but following that game there were full on "Fire Roof" threads. It ended up being premature of course because just as Charlotte has improved, so has App. The defense is almost back to how it was playing in 2018.
