As far as "program" goes,
Wed, 04/08/2009 - 14:48 — WNCMikeAs far as "program" goes, you might want to look up Appalachian state. If by "program", you mean .500 or lower in a weak conference, you're right.
Not knocking the Appies, but...
Wed, 04/08/2009 - 16:06 — bradleyb123Not knocking the Appies, but the only thing they have that I would like is the chance to compete in a PLAYOFF for the national championship.
Beyond that, they're in a lower division. FBS trumps FCS every time.
And btw, State beat them head-to-head when they met on the field a few years ago. And we were horrible back then. Just sayin...
And if App was in the ACC, they'd be LUCKY to finish .500 or better.
sheesh

I really have no problem with ASU and am generally overall happy for you guys when you win on big stages, but its the fans. You guys must be like the UNCCH fans of Div1AA.
Best PROGRAM in the state!
Wed, 04/08/2009 - 14:24 — bradleyb123Looks like recruits are starting to figure out what the fans already know -- that we're the best football PROGRAM in the state!
GO PACK!!!
A Look Down the Road
