Not sure on the parking pass situation, but hopefully someone can weigh in on what's available.
Oh. Nevermind then. :D

I hope Sean Price is at the end of those passes this weekend.This guy could be the next big thing to come out of the 1-AA ranks and at 6-5. 210 he has the necessary size.He should have a field day this Saturday because Illinois St has no DB with the necessary size to deal with him.Steve Nelson at 6-0 200 is the only DB that has some size to play vs Price.

I wouldn't go that far just realizing this guy is a once in generation talent lol.Wonder why this guy isn't at a 1-A powerhouse UNC,NC St.What I'am really anxious to see is the Illinois St WR core and how frosh DB Alex Grey 6-3 210 deals with them.He has a legitimate chance of breaking Randy Moss 1-AA frosh record for receiving yds 1,073.Price is 44 yds short.

Good questions both.

Yes, App played 3 Triple Option teams this year, first The Citadel, then Wofford, then GaSo. The Citadel ran all over us -- my younger son said it seemed like they ran for 600 yds. on 4 plays. It sure seemed like it to me. The D overran every single play, except those they under-ran. For Wofford, the D played a bit better, but we still lost. And, by GaSo, the D had it figured out. And, in hindsight, there's no question that GaSo was a better team than El Cit.

We ALWAYS play GaSo tough. As do they.

I think it is safe to say that stats at this point in the season are pretty much meaningless here. The D we put on the field for El Cit. & Woffie is COMPLETELY different & much improved at this point.

It's a new season. Starting Saturday.
Ya better hope so or you won't be playing long

Got tix yesterday, got hooked up with a parking pass today, so it'll be beer and brats around 10AM at Rivers St. parking deck. Any of you ISU (or ASU) guys stop by for a beer if you're close by.

Yes we had 2 BAD home losses, but we were undefeated on the road. All the pressure will be on ASU since its your crowd, you have history with the Titles, and you have a bad taste from recent playoff losses!

I'll be in Boone on Saturday, hopefully to celebrate a Redbird victory!!
Matt who is the Redbirds top WR????I want to see how good Alex Grey is as a DB he has plenty of size at 6-3 210 and he's a frosh!!!!!

This seems totally even on paper: ISU is good defensively but just OK on offense; App State is really good offensively but weak on defense. I'm not confident, but I'll take the Mountaineers because it's in Boone & the Redbirds are just 3-3 in their last 6 games.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:


      • Quarterbacks -- Appalachian St.

        Running Backs - Appalachian St.

        Receivers/TEs - Appalachian St.

        Offensive Line - (push)


        Defensive Line - Illinois St.

        Linebackers --- Appalachian St.

        Secondary ---- Illinois St.


        Kicking ------ Illinois St.

        Punting ------ Appalachian St.

        Return Teams - Appalachian St.

        Kickoffs ------ Illinois St.





        • Illinois St. 28-31 Appalachian St.

All right everyone knows I think Sean Price is unstoppable the real matchup that I'am looking forward to seeing is ISUs Milton Colbert 6-4 210 vs App St's Alex Grey 6-3 210 and Chris Shaffer 6-3 200 vs Brandon Newbern 6-4 205.I personally would call this a toss up all four of these guys are equally matched up.

To answer your PM, Illinois State wins DBs primarly because they're 2nd. in the nation in passing efficiency D while the Mountaineers are 76th. I think ISU's WRs have an advantage against App's secondary, but App's overall offense is better than ISU's so the matchups for the game roughly balance out.

I wouldn't. Jackson's numbers are noticeably better than Brown's.

Easy there tough guy....I don't even have a horse in this race, I'm a Bison fan. I was just saying you better hope your D shows up for this game, cuz the Redbirds have very balanced offense and an experienced QB.

Numbers don't tell the whole story. We play in a more defensive minded conference so yea the numbers are true

If their pass defense is that horrible, it must be a problem with the front seven and a lack of a pass rush,Two jumbo sized corners like Shaffer,Grey don't come around all the time.Imagine them in Redbird uniforms would love to see them vs Price if that were the case.
