When did they start kicking ass in football....and what's their chances of winning the D1-AA football Championships? I am glad that there new AD (the former assistant NCSU AD here, Charlie Cobb)...I'm glad his guys there are giving him something to cheer about.

My dad and I would always go to at least one asu game a year when clemson didnt have a game and Ive always enjoyed it. I remember them going 11-0 in 94? But they have always had good teams with moore. It also seems like moore schedules 1 or 2 div-1a teams a year, which I think helps the team (it also helps that those losses dont seem to hurt the team in the eye of the playoff committee).^6-5 i think[Edited on December 11, 2005 at 12:30 AM.

At least if they win the championship, we will be playing a good I-AA team next year rather than an average I-AA team....not that Im saying playing I-AA teams is good .

they have plans to expand the stadium to between 20-30k.

i just looked it up and found out that App is averaging 22,364 fans per game this year. there stadium seats 16,650. Also App ranks fifth among Division I teams in North Carolina, behind N.C. State (56,189), UNC (52,500), East Carolina (34,560) and Wake Forest (29,288). App is second to only Montana (a Div I-AA powerhouse) in attendance this year, and Delaware is the only other I-AA program with an average of more than 20,000. Among the nation's 238 Division I programs, the Mountaineers rank 86th - ahead of 33 Division I-A teams. [Edited on December 11, 2005 at 11:09 AM.

good thread and good posts, this is all pretty cool stuff
12/11/2005 11:14:02 AM
yeah, on espn during the game they said that app state regularly oversells tickets by several thousand causing a lot more fans to pack into the stadium than there are seats for.
