Seen a few mentions of NC State fans wanting the App game to go like Richmond. Fully expect those boys to be ready to bounce back at home but damn, it’s going to be a LONG conference season if we don’t put up a better fight than a Patriot League team with 19 injured players.

Thoughts after digesting that UNCC game: sloppiest of the year, partial pass with the weird circumstances but didn’t feel like a step forward. Happy that the lessons come from a win, feel good about QB1 and improved D. Better than last year, TBD on how much better. On to Raleigh.

Fair point - definitely some arrogance in playing with your food in a late game situation. Credit to UNC-C for hanging in there and making a play.

App opens as 20.5-point favorites over Charlotte. Would love for it to be that comfortable, but I fully expect the Niners to come out swinging and throw out every look they’ve got. Feels like a game where the tone could change drastically depending on which side starts fast.

I’m not quite at “we’re back” just yet but with two more performances like the last two, I like App’s chances to enter conference play no worse than 3-1 and make some noise in the East. I’d love to get Cayden Sweatt back and see the OL settle in a bit.

ST and TO played a big part, but advanced stats can be misleading. App was in control the second half, content to play keep away. Success rate is one thing but what ECU couldn’t do was convert a 3rd down (2-13). App took a lead, won the money downs, owned TOP and coasted home.

Seriously guys, all-time records are so goofy. Games from the 60’s and 70’s are the true measure. Everyone knows that.

You know you’re trying to avoid a 4-game sweep when stadium capacity is your best material

Football season is finally upon on us - wrote a bit about three things I’m looking for tomorrow. See you on the mountain! mtholloway.wixsite.com/thero…

My usmnt takeaways: 1. We’ve found the right coach 2. Pulisic cannot be the centerpiece we build around 3. If we don’t develop a keeper and central defenders, result won’t be any better in 2030 4. Tillman and Balogun are ballers

when your team hasn’t won a cup since gerald ford was president, not responding is really the only option. at least canes fans are self aware enough to know we’re regional. philly’s self perceived relevance while they cosplay as nyc is adorable.

if the sens had just done from the start what they did in the close out game they lost on home ice, totally different series

Absolute masterclass in offensive ineptitude down the stretch for the Apps. Regular season title right there for the taking, that was hard to watch.

hats off, it takes serious talent to make that song worse

Yes, there were some horrendous, game changing calls that benefited the Bucs yesterday. But, let’s not allow that to overshadow the fact that on a late game drive that absolutely had to get points, the Panthers called a flea flicker on a wet field from just outside the red zone.

A short sleeve half zip windbreaker with no shirt underneath is a true psycho move by Cignetti. Respect.
