The 'Necks are pretty poor on the road. I'm not sure what it is but they're completely different at Hanson Field. I don't see this one being closer than 10+ points.

Leathernecks? Really? It must take some big brass ones to carry that around.....

Where I come from you have to EARN that Leatherneck title. You damn sure have to earn the Eagle, Globe and Anchor on your logo. Winning a few sporting events isn't good enough by the way.......

Anyway, I degress. Welcome to the Rock boys. We look forward to having you

I see. You may be right. No matter. Come on up to the Rock. By the time your visit is over perhaps you won't remember why you needed 3 digits in the first place. Anyways I got 5 of um on my right hand so you ain't special.

All joking aside.... We love having folks come up to our house. It's a great place for playoff football. Drop by any Black and Gold tailgate and we'll throw back a few before the game.........

WIU was the best team in the MVFC, not sure that will matter playing at App St.
Good Luck to both teams.

Got 4 tix in section 210....we need to get a roll call. :nod:

C'mon Appa - you'd be home by 4:30 unless you shotgunned 20 beers after the game.

Edit: also a bit embarrassing that this is my first game in Boone this season - I've been to Dullowhee, Samford, and Gainesville but haven't been able to find the time to make it 3 hrs to Boone. :oops:

Just when I think I've seen all the kick-ass App State videos, somebody puts up a couple of new ones. They never get old. :clap:

Gotcha. Well, if you make it in time, come on by our tailgate. We won't be doing a whole lot with the limited time before kickoff, but we'll certainly be enjoying a few adult beverages and Biscuitville biscuits.

Just wanted to add that this web site is a new "recruiting tool" for ASU football. Watch the videos but also check out the virtual tours....the locker rooms, weight rooms and practice facility are really amazing

Ahhhhhh now a voice of reason has entered the forum...........If I were to do it over again I would go to Happy State. Where I could be drunk all the time on the hillbilly koolaid.

I was an Ap state advocate untill recently. No, seriously, What a pugnacious, arrogant group the lot of you are.

I felt proud about the prospect of going to your institution two weeks ago, now I am just disappointed.

perhaps I should not have stated that in the more respectable website here, but at AGS and on their board and on WIU's the conduct is unbecoming.

I am just disapointed that I have found myself not admiring Ap state anymore.
