  • why is there more black and gold in walmart than walker hall? – app state board of trustees september meeting notes

    The App State Board of Trustees held its regular meetings on Sept. 4-5 in the North Endzone Facility. As is normally the case, the committee meetings were more informative than the full meeting, which turns into a “look how great we are” lovefest. I watched all these meetings and took notes.

Now that I’ve avoided that outcome, I’m gonna write on something that’ll make me sound kinda dumb. When App State beat…
