What the beat said, in their own words.

I want to thank our student section, they were awesome the whole game, they stayed the whole game, played every play with us
Loggains · The Appalachian3 days before App State's 2026 game against Georgia Southern
It’s a rivalry, they beat us twice last year and I think if you asked our older fans, this is the one they dislike the most, I dislike Coastal, JMU and these guys equally
Loggains · The Appalachian3 days before the Georgia Southern game
They have an experienced quarterback, which makes a huge difference, their wide receivers are catching the football very well and they’re really good with contested catches

One fan believes tryout performances predict pro success

The SBC rated the guy 3rd team. I could care less about his freaking NFL combine ratings. Evidently he was so bad he rated 3rd team SBC.

One fan argues donor funds go to unnecessary luxuries

my dollars should be spent on App State athletics, NOT Boone Bigfoots with the use of staffing and facilities. Currently, that isn’t the case and that’s a verifiable fact.
