A moment that defines @AppState_FB. Thomas Hennigan runs off the field and forces Brad Absher to join the victory formation. If this doesn’t send chills down your spine, what does? . CC: @_t_Henni @B_Absher18

Today we celebrated the accomplishments of Armanti Edwards and the historical impact he has had on our @appstate_fb program. During halftime @appstatesports retired the No. 14 to honor his unique and illustrious career in the very place Armanti and his team posted a 30-3 record!

We say this all the time on BGP. Savor these moments. They are not guaranteed. How many programs would kill to just freaking win as often as we win?. It’s great to be a Mountaineer! Enjoy the good times because they don’t last forever and some others never have them!.

From 3-4 in late October to *NINE* wins to cap off the season, including a chance to win the SBC + a 7th all-time bowl win. Wow. By far the most resilient team in recent memory, if not ever.

The fact this picture exists, isn’t AI, and so many Appalachian fans got to witness it is such an honor. The legend, Lee Corso, kissed the block A and predicted a Mountaineer victory on campus. Thank you, Coach 🫡
After 38 incredible years, Lee Corso is retiring ❤️ . For multiple generations, Coach has been the face of our Saturday mornings and the sport we love. Our friend, our coach, our heart . LC, you will forever be a College GameDay legend!

Road game against an opponent that wants to beat us so badly they can taste it. App State destroys their hopes and dreams in a midweek game (again, on the road) to go 5-0 in 2019 and 7-0 all time against ULL. THAT is football culture, ladies and gentlemen!.

App State legend Scott Satterfield is one win away from taking a program that Bobby Petrino set on fire to a bowl. Oh and Louisville wanted to drop $5M/yr on Purdue’s Jeff Brohm who is leading a terrible 2-6 team. Mountaineers are just better. It’s a fact. It’s science. 🤷🏻♂️.
Louisville was a total mess last year. Scott Satterfield led them to their 5th win today. He’s going to do special things for that program.

Hard to put into words all the emotions but it’s always easy just to say . “It’s great to be a Mountaineer”. A lot of heartbreak on the field but today was historic. Today was wild. Today was why App State football is a gift. Lick our wounds. Digest the day. Move on.

It’s true. Every. Word. App State basketball’s following is certainly stronger than it was in the mid 2010s. But now is the time for folks that haven’t yet hopped on the bandwagon. Every. Single. Game. is available to watch via ESPN+ . App State hoops rocks 🤘

Coach Ponce has a great legacy at App State. He was an important part of some of the best teams we’ve ever had. He’ll always have a piece of Boone with him wherever he goes. Best of luck to you, @CoachFrankPonce! You’ll always be a Mountaineer to us.

In this graphic you will see:. - Increased fan interest. - Increased competitiveness. - Increased ticket sales. - Decreased travel cost. - Decreased time coaches/players/staff spend on a bus/plane.
The future Sun Belt East is absolutely beautiful for App fans. The geographic centerpiece of a tight-knit group of peer institutions.
