LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Comprehensive_Egg892]

This is what App State football should look like. Stop trying to be a pass first team, Dowell.

[u/cope4Cadillac]

Imagine if Coastal showed any sort of hustle or urgency when they were down TWO scores with under 4 mins left. Wtf are you doing celebrating when the clocks running? I hate college football. I think I just hate football.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt]

We’ll take it! Gg, Chants.

[u/Serallas]

Heyyyyyy we won. Shouldve planted our flag on the logo like they did but w/e

[u/Naheehs93 → u/Serallas]

Cops literally were guarding the logo 😂😂😂

[u/piedmontmountaineer → u/Serallas]

Fortunately we have class

[u/Gusanito99]

PLANT THE FLAG

[u/v2falls → u/Gusanito99]

Sc state troopers were preventing it.

Bitches

[u/Gusanito99 → u/v2falls]

It's not just Ohio anymore? Literally 1984

[u/ThatEmpireGuy]

SWEET SWEET VICTORY

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

I'm surprised these uniforms are legal, I wouldn't be surprised if this game causes a rule change.

[u/Terarri]

Wooooooooo

[u/Jyingling21]

WE DID IT

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

That’s game

[u/DeusVultSaracen → u/SanDiego_Finest]

Barring a turnover in victory formation apparently

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

CFP and superbowl in the same commercial im sick

[u/Ilovemyangelsomuch]

Do these announcers know the clock still runs after the ball is set when going out of bounds above the 2 minute warning? It didnt matter he stepped out there. It wss going down to the 2 minute warning no matter what barring a timeout being called

[u/ttufizzo → u/Ilovemyangelsomuch]

I liked how he doubled down that even when he saw the clock started after going out of bounds, the clock would have wound down further if he stayed in bounds. Who cares about the 2:00 TO.

[u/wseanwilson → u/Ilovemyangelsomuch]

You must have just joined the game. Welcome

[u/Ilovemyangelsomuch → u/wseanwilson]

Ive been flipping back and forth and definitely heard a few weird things from them lol

[u/wseanwilson → u/Ilovemyangelsomuch]

lol they’re absolutely terrible

[u/OMGGUY1234]

Why does he have to stay in bounds?

[u/thatsnuffy → u/OMGGUY1234]

Because the commentator forgot the rule changes to the clock that's been in effect for a couple years.

[u/OMGGUY1234 → u/thatsnuffy]

Good thing he doesn’t do this for a living

[u/OCBaseball]

Hasselbeck’s kid is a great athlete. The kid can move and he makes great decisions. I’m impressed.

[u/Jyingling21]

I’m scared

[u/soonerman32]

App St. is averaging about 12 yards per carry since Coastal needed a stop to get the ball back.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

He's right about staying in bounds on any play EXCEPT one right before the 2 min timeout

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

embarrassing effort on obvious run downs

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

This defense cannot stop the run

[u/unrulylyman → u/SanDiego_Finest]

Like shit through a tin horn

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

How you fall for that option. Jesus this team

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

and burning that TO instantly bites them in the ass. horrible coaching

[u/soonerman32]

That was quick. one play and the game is basically over cause of the timeout on the two pointer.

[u/AvengedKalas]

Is Singleton hurt or has Dowell gone to a 2 QB system?

[u/wseanwilson → u/AvengedKalas]

Yes

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Lmao game

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Just turned on the game and those junior high girl’s Lisa Frank folder lookin ass uniforms that Coastal is wearing are sure something. 

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Our radio guys have given up on trying to read the numbers. 

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

They said the refs were having trouble with them as well.

[u/wseanwilson → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

I thought they brought in a new QB on the last drive trying to read the numbers lol

[u/BackgroundChampion]

"Hey, we could just put this game away."

"No, we don't really want to do that."

[u/wseanwilson → u/BackgroundChampion]

No, I don’t think I will.gif

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Id try the onside. 2 timeouts and defense cant stop a nosebleed

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

atleast they got it. but still a terrible TO

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

what a horrible timeout

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Has either quarterback turned it over six times? I’m not sure I can handle competent football after what I just saw.

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

No. No they have not. Close your eyes.

[u/AvengedKalas → u/XrayGuy08]

Close your eyes.

Give me your hand, darling?

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/AvengedKalas]

Do you feel my heart beating?

[u/wseanwilson]

Does the announcer guy not know that weather played a factor last week for QB stat lines? He acts like Deuce Bailey sucks cause of last week. Dude can ball.

[u/appstate211 → u/wseanwilson]

Seriously. And how many times did they bring up that App only scored 3 points last week? Completely glossed over the fact that it was raining sideways most of the game.

[u/soonerman32]

Naw, man you gotta go down 4 here so you need a TD to win instead of a FG to tie and send it to overtime.

Great questions from the booth.

[u/XrayGuy08]

Surely that timeout won’t come back to bite them in the ass.

[u/beefshnarf]

Holy terrible timeout

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Awful timeout there

[u/beefshnarf]

Bottle them up all half and choose to go away from what worked. Tale as old as time

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Are the commentators dumb??? You have to go for the 2 there...

I swear most of us could be commentators.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/therealtoddmcshay]

Oh, I always listen to the App radio call with the tv broadcast muted. G6 games usually get the D-list broadcasts. I don’t even think they read the media guides.

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

It’s not even that. They’re just saying the dumbest shit right now. Even the media guide wouldn’t help them right now.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/XrayGuy08]

I just use that as an example. They’re just generally low-effort broadcasts.

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/therealtoddmcshay]

It’s shocking how stupid some commentators are.

[u/therealtoddmcshay → u/XrayGuy08]

and now that guy acts like using a timeout there didn't matter...

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/therealtoddmcshay]

Lol and they wonder if they will wind the clock all the way down.

No. They would never do that. Why would you wind the clock? Fucking stupid.

[u/joelupi]

Go for 2!

[u/AvengedKalas]

Yes you go for two.

[u/Infamous-Tour-8602]

In the what of time 👀

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

they do know they are down 11 don’t they?

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

Costal is playing way too slow

[u/Professional-Can8324 → u/SanDiego_Finest]

Seriously what are they doing? Celebrating after every play

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Running this late in the game with your defense is certainly a choice

[u/HueyLongest]

Man we really could have been 5-1

[u/Overcashed → u/HueyLongest]

Is State the loss? We had their number until we crumbed in the 4th, might have had a big enough buffer to be 6-0

Also if the refs let State fumbles happen…

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/HueyLongest]

I mean, we could have been 6-0. That State game wasn’t a foregone conclusion. 

But I’m not ready to declare this one won yet.

[u/Electromotivation]

How about Reel Big Fish and Mighty Mighty Bosstones for 90’s night?

[u/Overcashed]

Hassellbeck might be that dude

[u/XrayGuy08]

Where was this offense last week? (Yes I know there was a storm)

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/XrayGuy08]

I mean. It was in the storm.

But yeah, we should have been running the fucking ball last week. Every App fan can tell you that.

[u/wseanwilson → u/XrayGuy08]

Sitting on the bench unfortunately. Hasselbeck should have been playing. Singleton has been hurt and playing him in a hurricane wasn’t a smart idea. Loggains always outsmarting himself

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/wseanwilson]

Yeah singleton was not good last week. Storm or no storm, they should’ve been better at the end of that game. Hated seeing them lose that.

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef]

Hasselbeck is giving our offense the juice it's been missing

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Oh no, I'm starting to feel... hope?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/JammOrthodontics]

CHOKE IT DOWN. That’s how they get you.

[u/Megalomanizac]

Please send Beard back to Missouri after this game

[u/TornadoFalls]

Coastal Carolina just agreed to give up at halftime.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/TornadoFalls]

And we are grateful. Because the second quarter was ASS.

[u/Megalomanizac → u/TornadoFalls]

Every week they do this same shit

[u/BackgroundChampion]

We have a (back-up) QB!

[u/Electromotivation]

Game

[u/Terarri]

Way to turn it around boys!!! I ate my words from earlier. Don't let up now

[u/Jyingling21]

HUGE

[u/Electromotivation]

90’s night? Play some Third Eye Blind and stop playing 80s music!

[u/Sidefur → u/Electromotivation]

Never, ever play third eye blind

OK, y'all like shitty 90s music, you do you

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Sidefur]

Well, I can only say that I… wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend.

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef → u/Sidefur]

Sorry, Kansas, you must be lost. This is the college football sub, not basketball.

You can leave now

[u/Electromotivation → u/Sidefur]

This guy sucks!

[u/man_vs_ports → u/Sidefur]

I like third eye blind

[u/Electromotivation → u/Sidefur]

Booooo

[u/wseanwilson → u/Sidefur]

BOOOOOO GET OUTTA HERE

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

lol why are the coastal defensive guys that got subbed out jogging

You need all the time that you can get. Get your ass of the field quickly

[u/Megalomanizac → u/therealtoddmcshay]

Because they aren’t coached well

[u/MrLeftwardSloping]

Easiest td ever. Jfc CC is horrible

[u/HueyLongest]

Where did the Fuck App State chants go, chants?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/HueyLongest]

I guess they fucked us. And like everyone in the Grand Strand, they then collected a 20 from the dresser and left the stadium.

[u/MrLeftwardSloping]

Well this games over

[u/Terarri]

I'm gonna slime liberty biberty

[u/Electromotivation → u/Terarri]

Are we doing phrasing?

[u/Jyingling21]

If I have to see one more Andersen commercial

[u/DongTongs]

I mean it's fourth down so no biggie, but we've all made harder catches in PE class

[u/Sidefur]

And that's why he plays defense

[u/Megalomanizac]

Can we see what the backup QB can do?

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

holy shit, how do you not pick that off

Wow... Wow...

[u/syrruptitiously]

how do you not catch that

[u/BackgroundChampion]

NOOOO! You have to catch that one.

[u/Infamous_History_827]

The fact that this Coastal team consistently does not score points in the second half is a glaring coaching issue.

[u/Megalomanizac]

Deuce Bailey is not a good QB

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/Megalomanizac]

IDK, he had some nice throws in the first half.

[u/Megalomanizac → u/BackgroundChampion]

His vision is terrible. He got lucky with half of those. It’s a miracle he doesn’t have 3 interceptions

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

coastal needs to stop running the ball, lol

[u/CollegeFootballGood]

I’m just disappointed

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/CollegeFootballGood]

Sad and funny that both teams have felt that way at times during this game. The mood might flip again. Who knows?

[u/Megalomanizac → u/CollegeFootballGood]

Beard is not the guy

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Singleton buddy you gotta get some rest and recover, there's still half the season to go

[u/seaking4steel]

The woman saying "Oh my gosh" in this commercial sounds like Lois from Family Guy

[u/OMGGUY1234]

Beautiful punt but number 8’cant get you that yard on 4th down?

[u/TornadoFalls → u/OMGGUY1234]

They were rolling too. I don’t get not going for it on 4th and super short. Have some guts especially when your team is feeling it. Give your guys a chance to move towards applying boot to neck.

[u/BRich1990]

Absolutely horrible spot

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Should've gone for it; I have more faith in the offense than the defense

[u/brometheus3]

I am begging for us to not screw this up

[u/BackgroundChampion]

That's a first down....

[u/seaking4steel]

Dowell is so loud

[u/Megalomanizac]

Same issues every week. Penalties, drops, bad reads, questionable play calls.

Oh but I bet we’ll hear all about how they are “playing hard” and how they will “fix” the issues.

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Knicely, Heiligh, Likely... What's up with CCU & adverb players?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/BackgroundChampion]

Reminds me of the “good day, good sir” interlude on OutKast’s “Speakerboxxx.”

Just me?

Also, am i old?

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

lol

[u/Jyingling21]

JAQUARI LEWIS AGAIN

[u/Electromotivation]

Appy! How’s it going tonight?

Edit: going to espn to check the box score

[u/Electromotivation → u/Electromotivation]

Game of runs eh?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Electromotivation]

Um. Hey man. It’s going okay. Just don’t… don’t like rewind the stream, okay? We were doing well then too. So, like, don’t waste your time, you know? It would be boring for you.

(And we’d love if you didn’t call us Appy, but you can if you don’t rewind.)

[u/Electromotivation → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

I see there was no second quarter. Yall scored 14 in each of the quarters that existed!

Edit: I only did because I’ve had a few for the first time in a long time. But on a serious note I am pretty torn about this weeks news. I always wanted to see a game in Boone.

Went on a vacation there with family when I was maybe 14-15. Did hiking and when over to the new river for whitewater rafting. It was lovely

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Electromotivation]

It was the weirdest fucking thing!

EDIT: and we’ve liked having you in the conference. Can’t blame you for leaving. Strike while the iron is hot. I hope it works out for you.

[u/Electromotivation → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

We are all going to be left out of a super conference and they just mandated 10 game p4 only seasons for p4 teams. So there are almost no chances to schedule p4 teams. They made a 24 team playoff and pulled up the ladder at the same time. Such bullshit. Should be like the FCS playoffs with all conference champions making it.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Electromotivation]

Oh yeah. Superleague within a decade. Then we may see each other again as everyone else realigns to optimize regionality and cost.

But for now, happy trails!

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/Electromotivation]

Well, it's no 3-2 fourth quarter, so, y'know....

[u/App2508]

Hasselbeck is more effective.

[u/mufflefuffle]

This is great, but good god why didn’t we just do this style of play in the mess last week

[u/DongTongs → u/mufflefuffle]

Literally everyone but the coaching staff was wondering this last week

[u/jnoobs13 → u/mufflefuffle]

Anyone watching could've told Loggains that we should've ditched throwing the ball and done the read option with Hasselbeck and Lewis the whole rest of the game by halftime last week

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/mufflefuffle]

An excellent, excellent question, Mr. MuffleTruffle, sir.

[u/Sidefur]

5 seconds after the play: "When I watched that live..."

[u/JunkyardAndMutt]

LEWIS

[u/mufflefuffle → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

Getting his entire seasons worth of touchdowns this game

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/mufflefuffle]

I hope he gets four more.

[u/Sidefur]

That was downright subtle compared to the last one

[u/joelupi]

Wait. Time out. That's Henry Hasselbeck? From MA?

Well now I hope App State loses.

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/joelupi]

Thanks for joining the game thread! It's great to see so many new flairs here.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/joelupi]

WELL SCREW YOU TOO PAL

[u/hidell]

Is that not a face mask on Coastal during the interception?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/hidell]

Shoulda been

[u/beefshnarf → u/hidell]

That would require the refs doing their job correctly

[u/XrayGuy08]

Uh-oh 😬

[u/joelupi]

Damn got the INT despite his helmet getting ripped off. That's hard as shit.

[u/BackgroundChampion]

How was that not a facemask?

[u/beefshnarf]

Great pick, don’t know how you miss the face mask

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef]

OUR DEFENSE DID A THING!

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

My butthole clenched

[u/JammOrthodontics → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Shouldn't have unclenched

[u/joelupi]

Ohhhh shit we got a ballgame

[u/AruarianGroove → u/joelupi]

Must’ve been quite the pep talk

[u/XrayGuy08]

I knew Coastal had the teal field but I don’t think I’ve ever watched a home game. I dig it. And the teal/white/teal pops just enough to make it visually appealing.

[u/v2falls → u/XrayGuy08]

I hate the teal turf. It matches the trailer park vibe but this turf is way better than the last one. The last color scheme didn’t agree with cameras and washed the picture

[u/JammOrthodontics → u/XrayGuy08]

It looks good with these cameras but when they get the crappy ESPN+ grade cameras with bad color balance it can be painful to look at

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/JammOrthodontics]

Aww. Didn’t even think about that! Good point.

[u/AruarianGroove → u/XrayGuy08]

And the hue is delightfully kitschy without the harshness of some other eccentric blue fields

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/AruarianGroove]

Honestly, I was thinking that too. I like Boise but their blue is very aggressive and they blend in so much when they go all blue.

I like this better.

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Singleton still on the sideline, but apparently Hasslebeck CAN actually throw the ball, if they let him.

[u/HueyLongest → u/BackgroundChampion]

I might just be blind but I don't even see him standing on the sideline like he's available to go in

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/HueyLongest]

Sorry, I didn't communicate properly. Radio said Singleton didn't come out for the second half with the team.

[u/HueyLongest]

Coastal student failed very badly to destroy an App State pinata as part of some promotion. Good omen?

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Is there no band?

[u/Jyingling21]

WOW WE CAN FORCE STOPS

[u/OMGGUY1234]

App state just way too inefficient on offense way too many negative plays. 31-14 incoming punting here is surrendering the game

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Here to watch a badass alt Jersey sicko game and I get surprised with Daft Punk

[u/Overcashed]

Great drive team

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

The Sun Belt map makes happy seeing it regional, the way college is supposed to be

[u/AruarianGroove → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Kinda rough that NM State got relegated to C-USA though

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/AruarianGroove]

Nah. It was Sun Belt to independent. Then to CUSA. 

It just didn’t make any sense to have them and Idaho in the mix. 

[u/AruarianGroove → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

Yeah, too much of a logistics hassle for the core Sun Belt schools. And Idaho is prob a better fit for FCS anyway

[u/HueyLongest]

App didn't come out of the locker room until 3 minutes left in the halftime. Thought we might have just left and went home

[u/Overcashed → u/HueyLongest]

Hopefully DJ was putting some fire into the defense and Loggins just got lost walking out

[u/OMGGUY1234 → u/HueyLongest]

Same result gonna happen

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

There is no escaping these Gemini idiots deep throating their microphones

[u/muranio]

I think that Bailey is first Qb I see with the Caleb Williams style. No talking about talent, because they are miles apart, but the aura is eerie similar.

[u/Terarri]

Our squad is filled with mentality minnows. So prone to collapse.

[u/jakedonn]

App State collapsing there a bit in the second

[u/seaking4steel → u/jakedonn]

Don’t worry. The downward spiral will continue

[u/zoom518]

So the Sun Belt has their own map ripoff
