Thread: Appalachian State Game Postponed by Mountaineers

  1. Default Appalachian State Game Postponed by Mountaineers



    Louisiana Football's Wednesday, Oct. 7, game at Appalachian State has been postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing within the Mountaineers' football program.

    Louisiana and Appalachian State, with assistance from the Sun Belt Conference, have rescheduled the game to either Friday, Dec. 4, or Saturday, Dec. 5, in Boone, N.C.

    "We are disappointed for our football program, but are certainly supportive and understanding of Appalachian State's response to this situation," Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard said. "The health and safety of all involved is of the highest importance."

    Head coach Billy Napier's Ragin' Cajuns (3-0, 2-0) will continue preparations for the remainder of its 2020 schedule at this time. Additional schedule information will be announced as it becomes available.

    Could get interesting. Would move title game to Dec 12. Could possibly play each other back to back weeks.

    I wonder what's the likelihood we try to pick up a last minute opponent.

    Houston hasn't played a game yet.

    We’re not ready for this Saturday, so I’m thinking it’ll be hard to find anyone for Wednesday. We’re not ready to play or host a game this week.

    Should we play Saturday without any game preparation, and what about accommodations in Houston. A lot more goes into games than an after school touch contest. I’m not ready to sacrifice our program just to have a game.

    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

    I don’t think there are guidelines, and the team doesn’t have to release and info on the matter.

    Total BS from App State. Not even numbers on how many. We shouldn’t have agreed to play in Boone in Dec.

    Totally! Can teams just postpone or cancel games at their own discretion? Did we have any say so in this?

    So now we will get them when it’s 12 degrees in Boone.

    Exactly their plan in my opinion. How many players were we missing last Saturday and didn't weasel out of the game? Does the Sunbelt have to approve or can they do it without any accountability?
