This is the official account of the flowing, majestic beard worn by Yosef. App State is the Best State. Southern is a dumpster school for dumpster people.
What kind of coach we’re getting in Shawn Clark? Here’s Clark on calling the plays in Nola last year: “I told the guys, I don’t want you to think just because I’m an O-line guy that we’re going to run all night. We’re going bombs over Baghdad, and we’re sandpapering that ass”
I 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 this school, this team, and this town. I honestly feel sorry for those that haven’t been a part of the Mountaineer experience. It’s better here than there.
They made it until the fourth quarter without saying Appuhlayshun. We’re a nationally ranked team. If you can’t pronounce the name of a team at that level you have no business at ESPN.
We lost a coach last year and left a trail of scorched earth everywhere we went this year. We’re 12-1, 20th in the CFP, conference champs, and going bowling. App State culture isn’t a coach, it lives in the players, fans, and the school. We’ll be fine, as always.

Remember that time we beat UNC-Concord at football and they dismissed it bragging about how they’re better at basketball so we beat them at that too? Good times.
I don’t expect a ton from
@ESPN
since they struggle to even pronounce our name, but come on. App State did this just last year vs UNC and South Carolina. Do y’all just make up stats and hope they stick? Jeez. At least try.
How many of these teams played 50% of their home games on weeknights in a town of less of than 20K that’s over an hour from the nearest interstate or commercial airport?
It’s December. App State ranked. They’re 11-1 with an ACC and an SEC win. This is only their 6th year in the FBS, and their 5th consecutive year going bowling having only been eligible for 5 years. Buckle up. This thing is just getting started.
Up to No. 20 in the AP and Coaches polls this week, matching the highest national ranking in App State and Sun Belt Conference history.

10 years ago today Armanti Edwards played his last game for App State in a 24-17 loss to Montana in the semi-final round of the FCS playoffs. The electricity he brought to the field was palpable. Thanks for letting us watch,
@ArmantiEdwards
. It was a blast.
I cannot stress enough how outrageously disrespectful and unprofessional it is to say “App-uh-lay-shun” when you know better. Pronounce the mountains however you want, there’s only one way to pronounce the school. Get off the air if you can’t do better.

This is the best venue in football. Period. Kidd Brewer may not seat 100K, but you won’t find a more beautiful stadium. It’s like it’s not even real. And on top of that, we get dubs here.

The NCHSAA has released the Week 3 ranking for NC High School football teams:
1. Myers Park
2. Independence
3. UNC-Charlotte
4. South Mecklenburg
5. Mallard Creek
I’m a little embarrassed about how Mountaineer Twitter is reacting about Zac today. He’s 29-5 and has been an absolute stud at QB. The kid had a bad game after being carted off the field last week. Don’t let us become a fickle, pitchfork-toting fanbase that turns on our guys.
Sun Belt Championships are treated as a neutral game so some of the traditions were used to seeing at the Rock may not happen. So, it’s up to us to be LOUD and show the Cajuns that this is not a neutral game. This is Boone. This is Kidd Brewer. This is the Rock. Be there. Be LOUD
Most people don’t know this but if you go into the bathroom, turn off the lights, and then say “go, fight, kick ass” in the mirror three times Chancellor Peacock will appear behind you and hand you a national championship trophy.
Big Ten football is back.
The conference is reversing postponement and will start on Oct. 24 with a plan that includes daily, rapid COVID-19 testing, per
@PeteThamel
I’m as disappointed with the W-L this season as anyone, but this puts it in perspective. We have a new coach, the pandemic, and we have stars who have opted out or haven’t been healthy, and we’ve still been close against great teams. We’re going to be fine. The future is bright.
The Mountaineers went through just the second coaching transition in 30 years and faced two P5 programs this season, yet they’re sitting at 10 wins. Oh, and they still have 3 games left. Tell me this team isn’t special.
Wake Forest: App State can’t touch us.
ACC: Find some close non-conference games to fill your schedule.
Wake Forest: Sorry App State. My mom says I can’t play today.
Also Wake Forest: Hey Old Dominion, wann play?
Can you imagine telling your 2005 self that in 2021 App State would go into a game against a ranked Miami as just a 7 point underdog? I don’t think we fully comprehend just how far we’ve come. I know I don’t. App State is unreal, and it’s damn great to be a Mountaineer.
When you hear an announcer say a player just wanted it more this is what they’re taking about. This play exemplifies our culture. We play to win. We want it more.
App State finished the 2020 season ranked

. Think about that for a moment. We had three losses - to great teams - but three losses nonetheless. Yet, we still finished at

. A few years ago we'd need to be undefeated to sniff the polls and here we are. Is this...Respect?
Dear SEC, ACC, and B12 schools,
Are you looking for a quality loss anytime in the month of September? If so, please call
@DougGillin
at your earliest convenience. We'll even come to your place.
Hi Hi Yikas,
Yosef's Beard
Across the South there are families that will have Georgia Southern fans show up for Thanksgiving dinner. Be thankful that your family is better than that.
The ULL team we play next week is easily the best team we’ve faced since Penn State in 2018. They were the best team on our schedule last year and they’re probably better now than then. I say this to make sure we all appreciate the value of the W we’re getting in 9 days.

@AppState_FB
up 13-6 late in the second quarter at South Carolina. What stands out in the audio is the roar of the App State fans
I met an App State freshman at work today. When I found out he went to the game last night I asked if he had fun. “Best night of my life,” he said, and it hit me in the feels. Some schools want culture and some manufacture it. Here, it’s organic.
Fun fact: After five games, Case Brice leads all App State FBS-era quarterbacks in Completion Percentage (68%), Yard Per Attempt (8.9), and QB Rating (160).

Don’t forget, GameDay was going to A&M next week but they changed plans after the Aggies lost. So, not only did A&M pay App State for the L, they also had their GameDay visit taken away. Oof.
Homecoming this Saturday is going to be extra special as the Apps take the field as a ranked team at Kidd Brewer for the first time ever. Y’all are going to want to be there. This is history. Plus, we’re just 1-0 and need another win.
BREAKING: The World Health Organization has confirmed that the earliest carriers of the Coronavirus had come into contact with water from Eagle Creek in Statesboro, Georgia. More to follow.
App State has made 22 trips to the Red Zone in 2019, and has scored on 21 of those trips for a 95.5% scoring percentage. That puts the Apps at Number 1 in the country. Oh, and those 21 scores? 20 of them were touchdowns. We don’t stall out and kick. We get six.
Seven. And. Oh. And tied for the second longest active FBS winning streak. This team, this school, and this town is special. It’s better here than there.
If Shawn Clark loves App State as much as he says he does, he’ll resign. This isn’t a down year, it’s the third installment in a trend that’s evident to everyone except for the psychotically optimistic fans who lack any and all objectivity.
I’m as tired of Coastal being unable to handle their first taste of success as anyone, but going 11-0 and being rewarded with the Cure Bowl with Liberty is reason 1/10,000 why this conference is trash. And 9-1 ULL gets UTSA? Gill needs to go manage a Dollar General or something.
Championship tradition and family is the reason we all came here to App! There is one man that understands that more than anyone.
@coach_sclark
The best in the business, great man , coach and MOUNTAINEER! He is App State!
It‘s Sunday night, more than 24 hours after the win and GameDay announcement, and I‘m still amped from yesterday. I don‘t think we‘re appreciative enough of what we have. We‘re not supposed to fly this high this often for this long. We‘re so lucky. It‘s great to be a Mountaineer.
The only thing I hate worse than the dumpster gremlins from South Georgia is that this is the last regular season game. It feels like just a few weeks ago I was driving to Charlotte for the ECU game. This season just started.
