APP ST.

[Cuervohola]

Good to see our old friends dominating the Sun Belt Championship against Louisiana.

I didn't even know there was a regular Louisiana team. Kind of like I didn't know there was 2 teams in Montana. Weird.

Anyway, I know APP isn't 1-AA anymore, but good to see them at #21 and soon to be higher than that.

See Mods... Instead of Move up thread #7325.

On top of being a great football team, the administration had the vision to make a successful jump to the FBS. A vision I believe our administration lacks.

My opinion of this idea is lower than it ever has been as I listen to a playoff game on the radio.

Our enrollment also lacks

I miss our friends at Appy. Much love to their success. Still want a game soon!

Really happy with the success that App State has had with their move up. And I hope they make plenty of money at whatever bowl they go to. Nevertheless, I'll take a real playoff over that phony four-team POS they run at the FBS level. (Still surprised they haven't at least moved to eight teams, so all the big-boy conferences can get a team in.)

Definitely enjoy watching them. Have their game from today recorded but you are exactly correct

Yeah, but it doesn't matter when it's more choreographed than the WWE... The Fargo heated Hillbillies played a powder puff schedule this year, and probably previous years, and they never have to travel outside their homedome because the pollsters think they are the shit.

Well, they play in a relatively easy conference so it’s not a big surprise. Much like if we played in the MWC where we would spend our first 2 years ineligible for any bowl games and than be in Conference championship contention every year after only to wind up in the “whogivesashit.com bowl” which is played on the Wednesday before Christmas at 11:00 am (Eastern). Good times...amiright?

I agree with what you're saying, but there is several variables. The Griz could go Independent, or they might be in a crappy conference and do what you say, but they could dominate like Boise State and with that attracts the recruits...

There's no reason a former Big Sky school did it and the Griz can't. Idaho being unable to figure it out shouldn't be a detraction.

As far as the powder puff Fargo Hillbillies, it's more than just their conference, their strength of schedule was 10th this year. They shouldn't be even close to #1 if the pollsters did their jobs.

This thread is fake news. We’ve been told REPEATEDLY on this board that teams cannot have ANY success moving up to the fbs level.

Going independent would be a giant loser. Nonstarter.
