I planned on it...but the SID announced them before the game began when i was typing...wanted to put them up early :P

[HiHiYikas]

So there are students down behind the end zone? That's a good idea.

[ERASU2113]

WCU moving the ball pretty well

Spitzer just got the ball to ASU 30

Can our administration NOT SEE that having a 63 year old fart who hadn't coached in 6 years is not doing his job as DC. I hope we fire our entire staff next week!!!!!!!!!! 45 POINTS IN 1 HALF!!!

Sure Kent, sure "we're close". YOU SUCK BRIGGS!!!xmadx xmadx xmadx

[ERASU2113]

2nd most points we've ever scored against WCU....54 was the most I think.

Couple points shy of the highest scoring game between the schools

[ERASU2113]

3 and out WCU

[ERASU2113]

Jackson returns ball to the WCU 43

[ERASU2113]

TD K-Rich.....43 yds

52-21

[appstate38]

How much longer do you leave K Rick and Armanti in the game? I realize he is getting close to the record, but at this point he doesn't need much to break it. Although it would be sweet to for him to break the rushing mark against the Cats.


Just heard K Rich needs 54 yards to break it.

[appstate38]

Next question... How many do we score in this one???

[ERASU2113]

Pierre Banks INT...ASU ball on WCU 33

[ERASU2113]

I'dhopehe comes up so he can set it on his senior day

[ERASU2113]

Edwards throws an INT....WCU fumbles and Armanti recovers

[ERASU2113]

3rd and 3 on the 7...Edwards to Cardwell 3 yd pass to the 4

[ERASU2113]

Edwards 2 yd TD run.....58-21 ASU

Most points ASU has scored against Western.....breaking 54 set in 1939 I think
Most points combined breaking 68 scored in 1966

[appstate38]

CALL OFF THE DOGS COACH!!!

[GreatAppSt]

send in Elder for some reps then Coco.

[catamount man]

Kent Briggs is the absolute worst head coach in the history of the SoCon. After today, he will be 22-42 and yet, we have IDIOTS in Cullowhee that want to keep this man...............xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x

Hell, congrats Apps on another jug win.xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x

[ERASU2113]

Touchstone INT....ASU ball on the 21 yd line

[ERASU2113]

Elder is in

[appstate38]

WCU can't get out of their own way!!! GEESH!!!

[catamount man]

Touchstone INT....ASU ball on the 21 yd line

xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x If Briggs has ANY self respect, he would QUIT after this game.

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[ERASU2113]

After a turnover on downs by ASU....3 and Out by the Cats

Jackson fumbles to punt....WCU ball on the 50

[ab4app]

Tell me again Coach Briggs, tell me how "we're close." PATHETIC!!!xmadx

[ERASU2113]

End of 3rd ASU 58-21

Catamounts on the 2 yd line

[ERASU2113]

Malone TD run.....58-28 ASU

[ERASU2113]

FYI: Furman is beating Ga. Southern

[ERASU2113]

If GSU loses...Wofford gets the automatic bid and will most likely end in a two-team tie for the SoCon title

[catamount man]

FYI: Furman is beating Ga. Southern

Watching it! Hell of a game! LET'S GO FURMAN!!!xthumbsupx

[ERASU2113]

28 most points scored by WCU since they won in Boone......in 1984

[ERASU2113]

Moore must want K-Rich to get the record tonight.

2nd career 200 yd game for Richardson

[ERASU2113]

2nd and 10 on the WCU 27....ASU driving

[ERASU2113]

Running up the score?

[ERASU2113]

K-Rich 5 yd TD

Oh i know...I'm loving this

65-28 ASU

[appstate38]

GET HIM OUT NOW COACH!!!! HE CAN GET IT NEXT WEEK!

[catamount man]

65-28 ASU. I'm sure the Briggs supporters are up in Boone lambasting Moore for "running it up". WHATEVER! We need to actually show up for once.

TELL US HOW CLOSE WE ARE BRIGGS!!!!!!!!xmadx xmadx xmadx

[catamount man]

If they can't stop us..... GET BETTER!

No argument from me as I totally agree. Hopefully someday we'll actually get a clue, get a real coach and be able to return the favor. Until then....xnonono2x

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[ERASU2113]

Cats have it iside the 15

[appstate38]

No argument from me as I totally agree. Hopefully someday we'll actually get a clue, get a real coach and be able to return the favor. Until then....xnonono2x

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

No disrespect meant.... There always a discussion on when to "stop" playing... As long as the subs are in.... they should keep playing...

[ERASU2113]

I honestly wish I was watching the Furman/GSU game now

[ERASU2113]

Nice catch by Cohen....TD Cats

65-34 PAT pending


Just to let you know....Spitzer threw it too high so Cohen climbed the ladder and caught it in the back of the endzone....arms stretched high

[mistersykes]

GET HIM OUT NOW COACH!!!! HE CAN GET IT NEXT WEEK!

Agree with that. On senior day, that would be special.

As for running up the score, maybe Coach Moore saw the second half of the WCU/Woffie game.

[ERASU2113]

Granted getting the record against WCU would be nice....senior day makes it special

Furman won....GO PALADINS!!!!!!! Had to get that out.

Mountaineers back inside the 10

[appstate38]

TD APPS 72-35

[appstate38]

No argument from me as I totally agree. Hopefully someday we'll actually get a clue, get a real coach and be able to return the favor. Until then....xnonono2x

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

This might get him fired!!!! Hang tough Cats!

[ERASU2113]

72-35.

72 is the second most for ASU in school history...

[ERASU2113]

[ERASU2113]

Good lord! I'd love to see the stat sheet for this one!

When I get the stat book after Moore, K-Rich, Armanti, Hans, and Pierre talk I'll post it sometime later tonight for ya

[Appguy]

#10 Chris Collins flicked off the crowd a few times during the game.

I was right next to the people that were ragging him. He also spit at us.

#16 grabbed his crotch at us several times and did a little jig.

Here's the most impressive stat for us.

Neil Young, Punter had 0 yards on 0 kick attempts.

We scored on every but two possesions (the one with the two TO's in one play and the one when the clock ran out)
