What makes you think we won't play them also? I doubt this is in place of them.
SIAP: Football team will play game at App State?
- Thread starter coolcock2001
- Start date
That would be fitting. I attended ASU for my first 2 years before transferring to USC to finish. Sparky had some damn good teams at App and i think he shouldve been given a couple more years here. We surely got worse with fat bastard coaching.
What's the payout to App? I'm guessing Ray got rolled again.
Yeah he did. Sparky had a tough stint at VMI, pretty bad record it seems. He is an assistant at Richmond now. Worse places to be than Richmond Va. Wish him well.

Who doesn't have a tough stint @ VMI?
Two points:
- The Wake administration "invited" USC fans to come - "plenty of room". Reap what you sow?
- Is the same administration still in place 30 years later?
Dont I remember that Muschamp told Ray never to schedule any more option teams? If true, it's about time. There is absolutely nothing to gain by playing those games. And there is everything to lose (see: Citadel). Not to mention that cut blocking is still allowed -- for whatever reason -- and injuries are more likely to occur.
I live about an hour from Wake and we took the church youth to a game there a few years ago. I can see us taking over that stadium....sorry I missed that one. I told the youth that this wasn't a real college game. They thought I was crazy.....
If you thought BOA Stadium was empty for the NC State game, how empty do you think it will be if the opponent is App State with the average ticket price being $100? I live just outside of Charlotte in Denver so I'm about the same distance from Boone as I am Columbia. While watching us play in Boone does appeal to me a little bit, I'm not betting on the game happening. I think it will probably get canceled like the ECU game in Greenville that was supposed to be this year or next.
I think a trip to Boone for a football game might be kinda fun. That's a beautiful area and I could enjoy the area before and after the game.
Agree. I just hope they don't schedule it at the peak of color season. As beautiful as it is, traffic and parking will be a nightmare.
Would it make any difference in ticket prices in that the NCSU game was neutral site from the get-go, and if ASU were to move it to Charlotte, it would be a home game for them and they would be administering it all?
I'm thinking no since the games in Charlotte have a sponsor and are a joint venture between Belk and the Charlotte Sports Foundation (or whatever it's called) and the foundation is the one that sets the ticket prices. I actually got into a back and forth email exchange with the President of the CSF prior to the UNC game over the ticket prices and the idiotic decision to move that game to Thursday. I'm pretty sure that if it were moved to Charlotte, there would be some financial incentive for both teams to do so, but maybe more so for App since they would be giving up a home game.
Those games in Charlotte opening weekend are explicitly sponsored by the CSF, which seems to me would have nothing to do with an ASU home game relocated to the Queen City. Is our game scheduled for the opening weekend? If so, I do see a problem of a potential time conflict, and why my question could be confusing.
To my knowledge, all of our opponents for that season haven’t been set so I don’t know if it would be opening weekend. I would hope not because that would be lame opener regardless of where it’s played.
Would you consider the opener vs Coastal Carolina this coming season to be lame as well?
Sure it is, thats the new stadium seating thats planned for the renovations in 2020, should be good to go by the time the Gamecocks arrive in Boone.
App lost by 21 to the dawgs last year and USC lost to them by 14 so it should be a pretty good game.

100% yes. I'm sure I'll watch some of it, but there won't be a whole lot of anticipation for me going into. Also, it really sucks to know that there's going to be a lot of empty seats for our home opener.
Same. We need to do a much, much better job of scheduling. That is definitely one area I will fault the AD on.
Everything I have looks huge when you use a fish eye lens like that ! Those people in the end zones will fall out of their seats!
