Of course, the Purple Ones have only three wins on the season, none of which were on the road. But we’re not getting cocky. No. Way. YES WAY. Doesn’t matter how you finish, as long as you finish ahead. Apps win, 77-75. Sims goes for a game-high . . . → Read More: Look! A new post! And it's positive!

And the North Division title is still up for grabs. The race for first place is “resembling the 1997-98 race, when Chattanooga won the North with a .500 record.” APPS GET DOGGED. Down by double digits, Apps were down 3 with just over a minute to go. Yet they lost, . . . → Read More: Yes Virginia, we're still in a title hunt 21 comments - (Comments are closed) App State season tickets for 2009 were briefly on sale in early December. Surprisingly, there was no price hike. One adult season ticket is $160. If you want the super special seats between the 30s, add $500. Or, if you just want to be between the 30 and 10, it’s another $250. So .. /grabs abacus … good seats next season will cost you no more than $660 each. Sound expensive?

Actually, a Hall of Fame. A supposed SoCon Hall of Fame, even though “half of the inaugural class consists of athletes from schools no longer in the conference.” At least they found room for App State Olympic medalist Melissa Morrison Howard and record setting bballer Valerie Whiteside. 3 comments - (Comments are closed) Former App State QB/WR Richard Kent is the new secondary coach for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL. “For almost nine seasons, Kent worked his way through NFLE.

He was at midcourt holding high above his head his Walter Payton trophy. Obviously the arms were fine. But what about that knee? It’s fine too. Now his pride?

The Apps are playing some inspired ball against the ‘Whee. The crowd is into it. The television shots look fun. And Kellen Brand is having a career night (28 points and counting). Now if only they can pull this thing out … ‘WHEE DIDN’T WIN. App State holds on, 76-70.
