  • hey nfl man, can you win the apps some games? a 2025 season preview (when you know nothing)

    When listening to the Sun Belt Media Day pressers, it gets a bit monotonous. A bunch of long-time football coaches are trying to build excitement but not reveal their hands. And for 13 of the coaches, there was a common thread in that they indulged the annoyance over NIL, paying players, the transfer portal, unlimited…

  • you’ve only had this blog for like five months, why aren’t you posting more?

    Has a lot happened? Depends on what you mean. If you want to know about Appalachian State University sports, then kinda. What about my life? Well, duh, I moved to a different state without telling much of anyone to take a new job and new responsibilities. I got someone who directly reports to me now!…

  • coach dowell talked to the media for 33 minutes so here’s a recap

    Kind of an out-of-nowhere press conference on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Been 13 days since late National Signing Day, Spring Practice ain’t starting for a little bit longer and President’s Day was Monday. But it’s also Dowell’s first non-introductory press conference, aka his first one without a suit. When I saw the video pop up on…

App State Head Coach Dowell Loggains is now gearing up for his first Spring Practice season as the head man. When are there practices? We won’t know until they start, as is App State tradition.…

  • app state wrestling – too big to be small and too small to be big?

    I was thinking about this topic before the Bellarmine dual on Friday. If I did this and then saw App State Wrestling hold onto a 23-19 dual win in Louisville, I’d look really dumb. Now that I’ve avoided that outcome, I’m gonna write on something that’ll make me sound kinda dumb. When App State beat…

  • app state football roster, as it stands right now (and is likely outdated when you read this)

    EDIT: Less than 30 minutes after posting, “Hey, Myles Farmer is coming back.” Damnit. So that’s updated. When App State fired Shawn Clark, it was expected there would be a massive roster overhaul. That’s typical with a coaching change in this NIL and unlimited transfer world, moreso with coaches taking new jobs, but still common.…
