Appalachian State Game Postponed by Mountaineers

probably not. They've got a lot of COVID issues as well. I think either Coastal gets moved up a week or maybe it's UAB getting moved up. Both are open on the 10th.

Hopefully not UAB. We’ve got a weekend planned in Birmingham on the 23rd.

Coastal on the 10th would be great. Then almost 2 weeks to prep for UAB.

Would like to know how many app state players involved. We had about 11 players out last week and many starters. Must have a threshold for postponing

wow, hadnt heard that before. odd that wasnt mentioned in all the ranking discussions

sorry if dumb q, what does moving other games up accomplish? whats the difference between an off week now or then?

If its a campus thing, they can play in an empty stadium, so their threshold must be Can we win? ... with the players we have.

It gives us an opportunity to move open dates in case we get another postponement and it also gets another game out of the way in order to complete the schedule... breathing room.... south Alabama would be the only conference game we could fit in on the 10th

Excellent point.

Coach Napier does not want to go 21 days between games.

30 players. Nine coaches.

Guys. It may not be the players that tested positive...I lost a cousin (albeit, 3rd cousin) over the weekend to complications associated with COVID-19. He was a sophomore at App St. he was living on campus when he tested positive. Then following 10 day quarantine, he went back to campus. The next day he called his parents to come get him. By the time they got him to the hospital, he was unresponsive. No brain activity. Pulled from life support on Monday...19 yes old. He could have caught it from anyone - he could have passed it to anyone...

Wow, that is tough news. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that would not be ideal for us. Get a same season home and home like the MUTS and Troy did. UAB come here next weekend and we go back there on 10/23. If they win CUSA, then that would be a 2 good wins on our resume.

Gotta be due to the loss of the coaches.

Put em in a virtual press box and let them coach from ZOOM

ps I hope they all return to health soon.
