App state is just up set because they felt that they were ready to make the jump to the big time BUT GOT JUMPED ON BIG TIME !!! LOL AND NOW THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE JUST A LOWER TIER SCHOOL . THEY MAY BEAT US BUT THEY WONT BRAKE US . APP STATE MAY NOT SEE IT BUT I DO!! THEY HAVE A GREAT TEAM BUT THEY ARE NOT YET READY FOR THE FBS-BCS TEAMS . LIVE WITH IT APP STATE. JUST AS WE AGGIES HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS SEASON.

i have to agree with most other aggie comments regarding the coaching staff. they did a great job making adjustments against a team they had no film on. and once they adjusted, kindle went on a friggin' tear. throwing bombs left and right. when you think about it, had we not turned the ball over 6 times and not dropped some passes that hit us right in the hands, we could've put up 50 or more points on that team.
even if this vul game doesn't count, i think the coaches and the team still benefited big time from it. they had an opportunity to "test run" their stuff against an inferior opponent which allowed our guys to make mistakes without costing us the game. i guarantee you we will be a better team going into the app state game than we would have been had we not played the game at all.
however, i'm gonna withhold my enthusiasm until i've seen us play another couple of games. but i like seeing a competent passing game and we also have one of the most potent ground attacks in the meac (if mayhew stays healthy). we have an outstanding offensive coordinator and our o-line ain't bad either. we've got a kid in ricky lewis who can "literally" lineup at 3 different positions (wr, qb, rb) and hurt you from all 3. i see this offense slowly building its new identity. we've got good receivers too. folks, if we can keep our key guys healthy, we could have a very special offense on our hands...

One thing for sure, App State has some arrogant football players, after a thumping by VA Tech some of those guys still didn't want to give the VA Tech players credit. Hello all, an App State Guy here i hope to see as many Aggie fans as possible on the mountain this saturday! I've heard about these comments all week and at first i aggreed that what was said was was in poor taste; however after reading the whole exchange I saw that it was more of a leading question that was asked to provoke such a response. Then to run the response without the question just made it look that much worse. here's the exchange... " The following is the quote used in the USA Today story: "Not taking anything away from them, but I wouldn't classify them as an elite team," Presley said after the game. "We stopped ourselves so many times. ... We made them look better than what they were. I believe so." Here is the question exactly as it was asked to Presley and fellow senior Ed Gainey following the loss: Q: "Are you guys able to say that this was an elite team and a bigger classification and just kind of brush it off that way?" Ed Gainey: "Not at all. We made a lot of mistakes and we brought this upon ourselves. They are a good football team but we feel we're just as good as they are." DeAndre Presley: "I feel the same way. Not taking anything away from them but I wouldn't classify them as an 'elite team.' Like Ed said, we stopped ourselves so many times. When you get the ball inside your 20, you've got to score and that's exactly what they did. They capitalized on our turnovers and our mistakes, I believe so. I'm not taking anything away from them but I think we made them look better than what they were." The question left the student-athletes - both leaders on their team - in a no-win situation. Had they responded affirmatively, they're telling their teammates, coaches and fans that they feel like they didn't belong on the same field as Virginia Tech. If they answer as they did - admitting that they were outplayed by a good team but refusing to say that they're not in the same class as the 11 guys lined up across from them - they're accused of having no respect for an opponent that just vanquished them." www.goasu.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205266826We got beat bad on Saturday by a great team but the truth is we made a ton of mistakes that help make the score look as bad as it did and that is what EG and DP were saying. VaTech is the real deal and they have a TON of talent but i would not say that they are so much better that we didn't belong on the field with them. But now come the next game and I think we'll have to be ready to play come Saturday at 3:30! if your in boone saturday between the Turchin Center and the Library parking deck look for the black tent witht he big A flag and say hi!

I feel ya, but the correct answer should have been. "They are an elite team, but we didn't do ourselves any favors either". Something along those lines. That's probably what he meant, but it came out the way it came out. I dont think anyone but your next opponent(who is us) and your fan base even thought it might be a little arrogant. He could have left the following sentence out and it would have said the same thing:"Not taking anything away from them but I wouldn't classify them as an 'elite team.'"
Anyways, I hope for a good game on Saturday. Cant make it up, but I'll be donating to you guys program by possibly purchasing the game online to watch.

Anyone who has been around these guys know that it was not meant in any disrespect to VaTech. sorry you cant make it.
