Any thoughts ? I did not expect VA Tech to hang 66 points on App. It was late in the 3rd before App. scored and VA Tech already had 52 points so I doubt they had there first or second team in the game. One thing for sure the Mountain will not be happy next Saturday and will be looking to take it out on someone.

Atleast we've got one victory under our belt. We will be no worse than 1-1. That's if we don't pull an APPset. Yes I just coined that term .

Look all we can do is take one game at a time and play the best that we can with what we have. That's IT.

Our offensive line will be extremely tested, Apps NT is 6'1 310 lbs and and their 3-4 defense is better than any we have faced in three years. It will be interesting to see the game prep for this defense. Kindle's arm and our receivers ability to get the quick hitters can keep App from total destruction. App also showed some vulnerability on the edges. Chauncey ran the ball well as a filll in for Mayhew, We should throw a lot of different run plays on the edge since Drake has been released from IR this week.

One down. The deep ball a long the sidelines may kill App state. They have weak corners in space. If we can just run the ball and stay cool we have a shoot at the up-set.

Ah...our corners are nothing to write home about either. Va. Tech is the real deal as well...got to give them their credit. They have 6'5 qb that can flat out play and kept App. State on its heels the whole game. If we cut the turnovers, we can make it respectable.

I think we're several years and several million dollars away from realistically competing with APP. Then again on any given Saturday...

The Brothers are cutting their teeth early. App State can be had. I wish that I could be there....I glad that we have radio.

THIS WILL BE A&T FIRST REAL FOOTBALL GAME THIS SEASON AND YOU WILL SEE FIRST HAND WHAT KIND OF TEAM THEY WILL BE. IF A&T LOSE BY LESS THAN 30 POINTS IT WILL VIEWED AS A STEP-UP IN THAT PROGRAM! HOW FAR HAVE WE SUNK?

Either or Situation ! which is a good thing! So how ever the game ends we come out knowing what we already know and what we need to work on to improve. If we keep it close we may get the up-set not likely but you never no. Now As bigpeete stated ( IT WILL VIEWED AS A STEP-UP IN THAT PROGRAM) If we keep it close. That is just it. Play hard and let the chips fall .
Bigpeete1: I think your confused unrealistic fans as you put it, with realistic Fans! You see we know what type of team we have right at this point and we know what direction we are headed and we will get their My Brother. You just hang in their with us and enjoy the ride. That's from a Realist . Oh I would like to Welcome you to the room.

i think we're gonna have a tough time with app state. again, 33 scholarships versus 63 scholarships is gonna make a very big difference. the difference in talent between us and app state is very significant. i just hope that we can represent ourselves respectfully...
