I actually am envious.

He was kidding around, but we App State fans have a lot of FCS friends, and we hope we will always be friends. Will never knock FCS football. It is good football.

We've got some asshats to be sure, but no more so than some other teams. AGS has a lot of ASU posters so the sheer volume of negative posters seems disproportionate. There are a couple on there that just need to pipe down from time to time.

Negative about the move up or negative about FCS football?

Just general asshats. Negative in that we finally get an invite and disparaging everyone who didn't. Not very cool IMHO. Some of the comments made since our first NC make me understand why there is a lot of animosity towards ASU posters.

To quote Grizo and Dylan

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere

I know many are happy, congrats and best of luck.

Fresno St. looks forward to playing you in either the Who Gives A Shit Bowl or the No One Gives A Fuck Bowl in a couple years, that is if you don't make it to the Tampax New Orleans Bowl.

Uh, NDSU has taken that mantle firmly away from you...and ODU had it before them.

umm...ODU or do you mean San Diego?

I feel for you. If McNeese went FBS it'd destroy my interest in McNeese football. Oh, sure, I'd still kind of pay attention and hope they win. But there wouldn't be any desirable and realistic ultimate goal.

Wonder what happened with that home and home with ASU and McNeese?

I have asked that question a few times on multiple boards and have yet to get a reply, smart ass or otherwise.

Actually App, moving up only means now you have to pay $300k to play Furman and the Citadel....

We've been carrying them for years anyway, so no big deal....

Bump again.

I don't think it's been officially announced.

Someone from McNeese (I forget if it was the AD, SID, or what) said in an article that the game is still on as far as he knows... but, I think we will probably buy it out.

Well that fucking sucks the big one...especially for the McNeese folks.

Once the elite 64 split off, I think we'll all be back together again anyway.

This era will likely prove to be similar to the late 70s / early 80s when D-1 and D-2 split in three to D-IA, D-IAA, and D-II. ODU, Apps, and GSoU are the early adopters, like FAMU, UMass, etc were in I-AA for a few years while UD and Youngstown stuck in D-II a few more years.

After it all shakes out, most of us will still be the "second tier" as we've always been. Some current FCS may de-emphasize and go down in classification, but the Montanas, UNIs, JMUs, UDs, Apps, GSoUs etc will all fall back under the same umbrella someday. The Bamas and USCs don't want us, and they have the money to make it that way.

“When you get back to that equation of what are you “moving up” to, you have to really look at what you’re moving up to,” said Ziady, hired as Delaware AD in November after a long stint at ACC member Boston College. “We’re not [receiving] offers from the ACC or the Big Ten. Everybody’s emailing me about what Georgia Southern and Appalachian State are doing. That’s not moving up. It’s a designation that signifies you’re moving up but you’re not moving up.'’

Yeah, he pretty much nailed it. Boise St is probably the only school that truly made a real move up, and even then, their fate is still in the hands of the emerging elite 64, who can tell them to piss up a rope by not including them in their little country club when the four power conferences pick their final crumbs to get to 16 teams.
