This account, and others, are the sports equivalent of tiktok brainrot…
Can’t believe they’ll post videos from previous years/staffs and pass them off as current because they’re too inbred to use their brains and create original content or segments lol
🚨🚨INSANE FOOTAGE🚨🚨
An Appalachian State defense lineman, took the helmet of an offensive lineman and SMASHED THE HELMET INTO HIS FACE.
😳😳😳
This was crazy…
@YosefJD Fully agree. Older fans likely lean towards Marshall, more recent grads Coastal, and current students JMU. It’s just a generational change that happens, especially with all of the realignment stuff in recent years
IG Poll Results: After ~1300 votes and little change in percentages, I went ahead and called it.
‘21-‘25 grads tended to make up a lot of the Coastal votes, whereas ‘26-‘29 students leaned heavily towards JMU. The torch has been passed, its clear who students care more for
@AppFanatic04 Is that not a fair assessment though? Given JMU have excelled more in FB and BB over the last few years, it naturally makes sense to have more hype. There’s also the regional effect of having another team regionally within Appalachia that helps, as well
@AppFanatic04 I’ll build on this by saying that I entirely understand Coastal was a top-tier rival. The games from 2019-2021 were my first mainstream intro to App State while I began exploring college options.
That said, I do believe JMU is more important to most current students.
@AppFanatic04 just out of curiosity… explain to me how feeling like another team is currently a closer rival… has anything to do with the performance of our football program?? the one that saw its coach fired due to declining performance??
@DrunkYosef20@YosefJD JMU is the program current students are currently engaged with.
Sure, Coastal would’ve been in that seat 5-7 years ago, but the reality is that is no longer the case. Football, Basketball, doesnt matter. The past 3 years have proven that.
