So, you got upset with ASU folks on another site and decided to vent about it here? Go figure. Good luck on your school choices.western-101 wrote: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.

Western 101, I hope you make the game and have a good experience. Not too good of course.

Seems to me like you're giving it as well as you're getting it - but as I reread this, I don't see a lot of smack on CS.com.

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.

Re: Western Illinois - welcome to the Rock.....
I was reading some about WIU and I must say the look impressive on paper. The one thing stands out to me though is that they struggle on the road. The Rock could be the difference. Right now I'd say Apps by 14-17.

Lookin forward to a great game this Saturday. It has been along LONG time since WIU has played in December.
Boone looks pretty, KBS looks great. Why is it so darn remote? Not a super easy place to get to.

Linebackers --- Western Illinois
Secondary ---- (push)
Kicking ------ Appalachian St.

We like it that way. You are right though, no interstates to Boone. If you are coming to the game and flying to NC, what airport are you landing in?

Re: WIU @ App
I would put the receivers and linebackers in Apps favor with the biggest factor being our home record against WIU's road record.Mvemjsunpx wrote:Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

Re: WIU @ App
Linebackers were close to a push, but I don't agree with you on receivers. App's receivers had surprisingly pedestrian numbers & I don't think they have anyone the caliber of Lito Senatus.SpeedkingATL wrote:I would put the receivers and linebackers in Apps favor
App will win because of the home field (as you mentioned) and because they're clearly superior in the trenches.

Re: WIU @ App
Brian Quick is a NFL player. They just don't throw to him much so his numbers are pedestrian.Mvemjsunpx wrote:Linebackers were close to a push, but I don't agree with you on receivers.

Senatus is good but he doesn't have the size, speed, or blocking ability Quick has. I think WIU has good receivers but overall they aren't quite as fast as ASU. Quick is one of the top five receivers in FCS. I know the numbers aren't impressive but when you see him you will agree. Opponents for ASU have told me several times this year they thought he should have gotten the ball more and are glad he did not. My guess is Jerry Moore might unleash Quick over the next couple weeks.
Go back and watch their Wofford game two years ago and the Wofford and Citadel games this year. He lit up both of them who have DBs getting NFL looks.
App just hasn't let any one player rack up big numbers by going to them much so that is partly why their numbers are so skewed with nobody standing out.

Re: Western Illinois - welcome to the Rock.....
This is on ESPN 3...and it will be a snow game.
There looks to be a few empty sections in the stadium.
App goes 3 and out on the first possession.
