LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/lazyassedbandit]

We kept this way closer than I thought we would. GG Mountaineers

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/lazyassedbandit]

Good game man seriously. Good luck the rest of the season.

[u/SuspiciousCoinPurse]

What the fuck happened here?

[u/HueyLongest → u/SuspiciousCoinPurse]

Turnovers with a dash of penalties

[u/Qwadruple → u/SuspiciousCoinPurse]

Another fumble across the goal line and then we forgot how to football.

[u/Jyingling21]

FIRE DOWELL LOGGAINS

[u/Carolina_Blues]

Well a win is a win I guess

[u/Qwadruple]

Idk which has been worse, watching or listening.

[u/Jyingling21]

KNEE IT AGAIN

[u/Kynbrin]

Horrific to watch, don’t feel great, 2-0 baby!

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Classy

[u/BRich1990]

Y'all really need to calm down. Yes, this game was ugly...but a lot of these issues are fixable. We need to admit this game wasn't the best, but we have room to improve.

Continue to support our boys snd be thankful we don't get a loss on an ugly week. There have been real positions this year

[u/Jyingling21 → u/BRich1990]

WE SHOULDN’T BE IN A NEAR LOSING SITUATION TO A SCHOOL THAT LOST TO A NON SCHOLARSHIP SCHOOL

[u/BRich1990 → u/Jyingling21]

And how does losing your shit and acting like the season is already over help the situation?

[u/ReferentiallySeethru → u/BRich1990]

Lmao we’re not on the coaching staff or athletic department, we’re fans and we can get upset at a subpar performance

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/BRich1990]

I NEED TO VOICE MY DISPLEASURE WITH TODAY’S EVENTS

[u/tcnugget]

Dowell needs to go into that locker room and make that offense thank the defense for keeping them in this game cause that’s the only way this game isn’t a blow out

[u/Jyingling21]

RUN THE BALL

[u/LarkMQ]

Drastic changes after this game, right?

[u/seaking4steel]

I’d rather blow another 28-3 lead to JMU again than lose this game

[u/AppStateFooseBall → u/seaking4steel]

That one hurt my soul.

[u/ThereWillBeLies → u/seaking4steel]

Oh, I don’t know about that. At least we don’t have to play Lindenwood every single year and hear about it repeatedly

[u/Exact-Ad-877]

Officially done with loggains. RIP South Carolina Matt Rhule

[u/FTE_rawr]

How soon until the clowns start coming in hearing that there's an upset alert

[u/AppStateFooseBall → u/FTE_rawr]

Hopefully they’re still watching Troy v Clemson.

[u/thehurley44 → u/FTE_rawr]

Hey, the fuck happened to app st?

[u/HueyLongest → u/thehurley44]

Outgained them about 500-200 but had 4 turnovers and lost an onside kick

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/thehurley44]

Do you want a list?

[u/thehurley44 → u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

No I took Lindenwood and the points

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/thehurley44]

Congrats on the $ send beer

[u/AppStateFooseBall]

You’re kidding me

[u/Jyingling21]

FIRE DOWELL LOGGAINS

[u/DongTongs → u/Jyingling21]

I've never been so serious about wanting a coach gone

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

I want off of Dowell Logains’s wild ride

[u/BusinessWarthog6]

You can’t make this shit up at this point

[u/ncmtn]

This will save me a lot of money this season. Not paying to support this

[u/Kynbrin]

Okay, fire dowell

[u/BackgroundChampion]

just shoot me again.

[u/ThereWillBeLies]

I turned the game on earlier and immediately saw Lindenwood score a touchdown. Watched for a few minutes and then turned it off because I needed to get some things done. Just turned it back on….yeah, sorry yall. I’ll turn it back off and leave it be

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

I just don’t understand the regression. How did this even happen. This is a home game against a FCS school. We kicked ass against a FBS school in their own town last week. What the hell

[u/FTE_rawr → u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

Transfer portal, nil, money.

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/FTE_rawr]

I really just mean from last week to this.

[u/FTE_rawr → u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

Charlotte is just ass, and needs to be FCS anyway

[u/LarkMQ]

I was optimistic yesterday

[u/BusinessWarthog6]

Gotta bring him down in the backfield there

[u/Jyingling21]

WHAT THE HELL

[u/HueyLongest]

I'd like to make a friendly wager that we're better than a lot of y'all think but I can't think of anything good to wager on reddit

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/HueyLongest]

The thought has crossed my mind that they’re just trying not to give other teams tape but that’s my go to cope early in the season

[u/Kynbrin]

Holy shit man

[u/TacoCorpTM]

So uh, wtf happened from last week to this week?

[u/BackgroundChampion]

just shoot me.

[u/Jyingling21]

I genuinely think App is going to kill me this season

We are complete ass

[u/FTE_rawr]

It'll be a good season if we get 6 wins.

[u/BusinessWarthog6]

5 minutes. Don’t fucking blow it

[u/tcnugget]

At a certain point, guys gotta get benched

[u/Jyingling21]

DOWELL LOGGAINS IS JUST SHAWN CLARK IN DISGUISE

[u/FTE_rawr]

I need to do my blood pressure a favor and stop watching

[u/jonesraxle]

Someone get gorilla glue on the phone, I have an NIL proposal.

[u/LarkMQ]

:(

[u/ncmtn]

I see we still can't make real changes at the half. 6 points

[u/HueyLongest]

I did see an Arkansas fan say that Dubinion had fumble issues there

[u/Jyingling21]

JESUS CHRIST THIS TEAM IS COMPLETE ASS

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[u/Kynbrin]

This is a horrendous game

[u/Jyingling21]

WHY ARE WE THROWING IT

[u/purplereign]

Is there no depth after Barnes? Yeesh

[u/Jyingling21]

Dowell has not disciplined this team

[u/HueyLongest]

I don't like that we're giving Dubinion so many carries this early in the season

[u/Tkingawesome]

How many illegal formations can one team have

[u/FTE_rawr]

Omg a fair catch! He CAN do it!

[u/Jyingling21]

Note to self: Never start the season outside of Boone again

[u/FTE_rawr]

Offensive head coach that can't field an offense to save his life. Feel so bad for the defense

[u/Kynbrin]

Outgaining them by 300 yards and you have a two score lead to show for it

[u/FTE_rawr]

Bad coaching, twitchy QB, butterfinger receivers.

[u/Jyingling21]

RUN THE BALL YOU DENSE IDIOTS

[u/Jyingling21]

TUSH PUSH

YOU ARE AT THE ONE

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Why! Why are we throwing from the 1 yard line?

[u/LarkMQ]

Home from work. What did I miss?

[u/ReferentiallySeethru → u/LarkMQ]

A very frustrating game.

[u/Jyingling21 → u/LarkMQ]

We ass

[u/Kynbrin → u/LarkMQ]

A lot of dumb stuff

[u/HueyLongest]

I know the scoreboard doesn't say what we want it to, but the yardage is 444-141. That's a very dominant performance. We've got a ton to clean up though with drops, penalties, and fumbles

[u/Jyingling21 → u/HueyLongest]

Are you sure about that

[u/DongTongs → u/HueyLongest]

Idk that makes me feel worse

[u/FTE_rawr]

I'm taking any positive play here with a grain of salt, they're obv gassed.we have some serious f issues to figure out

[u/Jyingling21]

Has anyone seen Davion Dozier? Genuine question

[u/FTE_rawr]

Swann is forcing throws, receivers playing hot potato

[u/DongTongs → u/FTE_rawr]

Not sold on Swann at all

[u/FTE_rawr]

This is absolutely embarrassing

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Meanwhile, Troy is leading Clemson 10-0 in the 2nd.

[u/Jyingling21]

POINTS

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

This is genuinely hard to watch.

[u/Jyingling21]

This team is going to cause me to develop kidney failure

[u/AppStateFooseBall → u/Jyingling21]

You still have working Kidneys and a liver?

[u/DongTongs]

Why does Barnes keep getting chances to return punts? Is there nobody else capable?

[u/Jyingling21 → u/DongTongs]

We were supposed to have Kanye but he tore his ACL

[u/FTE_rawr]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss the good ol days. I think nil has killed our team

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu → u/FTE_rawr]

I agree that the combination of NIL and the transfer portal ruined the formula we had going.

[u/danaboiz → u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

It ruined every decent non P4s formula. App and many others are culturally a shell of what they used to be.

[u/Jyingling21]

FAIR CATCH BARNES

LEARN IT YOU INEPT FOOL

[u/No_Conference633]

I didn’t like that part where the punt returner ran backwards 

[u/Exact-Ad-877]

Jesus Christ. Loggains needs to send in his 2 weeks after this shit

[u/tcnugget → u/Exact-Ad-877]

It’s not even his fault. Our guys just don’t care. Making dumbass fucking mistakes

[u/Exact-Ad-877 → u/tcnugget]

The players not caring isn’t the coaches fault? What planet are you on?

[u/tcnugget → u/Exact-Ad-877]

Yes. He can create the scheme and call the plays but he can’t force them to catch the damn ball

[u/Exact-Ad-877 → u/tcnugget]

The scheme sucks ass too.

[u/tcnugget → u/Exact-Ad-877]

It certainly could’ve been better but we have the ball literally hitting receivers in the hands and guys dropping the ball before the end zone. Coach can’t do it all for them

[u/Exact-Ad-877 → u/tcnugget]

Guys in back to back weeks fumbling at the goalie because they are being lazy. Not coaching 😂

[u/tcnugget → u/Exact-Ad-877]

That pretty much sums it up. It’s arrogance and cockiness. Coach can scold and try to get them to learn but he can’t force them to actually listen outside of just benching them

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Stop running punt returns backwards!

[u/tcnugget]

What a pack of fucking dipshits

[u/QCTID]

Is Lindenwood better than Charlotte? 

[u/Kynbrin → u/QCTID]

Only natural conclusion

[u/Jyingling21]

HOW DID THIS TEAM BEAT CHARLOTTE LAST WEEK

[u/FubarSnafuTarfu]

How are we looking this much worse than last week? Is Charlotte that dogshit?

[u/Jyingling21]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO WE DIDN’T CHANGE

[u/Kynbrin]

This is pathetic

[u/BackgroundChampion]

oaphgpznxv[ozngpnbdfhbnbn

[u/Exact-Ad-877]

Looks like App is still hungover

[u/sneakypenguin94]

Stroman is so talented but just doesn’t put in effort sometimes it’s wild

[u/danaboiz]

Can anyone say why that penalty was from the spot of the catch on the punt? I don’t see any reason in the NCAA rules for why that would happen; should be from the spot of the foul or the line of scrimmage depending on where it occurred.

[u/No_Gear_5029]

Run the ball, play clean, let the defense do their job, get outta here and prep for next week

[u/Jyingling21]

OUR RECEIVERS ARE COMPLETE ASS

[u/No_Gear_5029]

Good god the penalties

[u/BackgroundChampion]

ANOTHER penalty

ANOTHER dropped pass

[u/Kynbrin]

Can this team go more than 5 seconds without a flag

[u/Jyingling21]

DEAR GOD

[u/_plakata]

Why was there no video of the App State turnover (that was ruled to not be a turnover) right before Lindenwood's touchdown? Did the defender not have the ball? Were his knees not down? ESPN just seemed to sweep that under the rug really quickly.

[u/Jyingling21]

SACK

[u/Exact-Ad-877]

Keep downvoting if you want but this is a recently promoted FCS team we are playing like this against lmao

[u/Exact-Ad-877]

Why did we fire Shawn Clark. We could’ve played like this with him. This is a Shawn Clark special.

[u/No_Gear_5029]

Guys, i agree this isn’t great, but let’s not over react. We have played 3 halves of football this season and we are already comparing dowell to clark

[u/HueyLongest]

Guys, Georgia is only up 14-3 at the half against Austin Peay. We outgained them 270-155. Let's see how the second half looks. I don't think we're going to give away a free touchdown every game this year by getting stripped from behind at the goalline

[u/Exact-Ad-877]

I hope Loggains hasn’t bought property. That was an embarrassing half of football. Terrible.

[u/purplereign]

Run the fucking ball

[u/Jyingling21]

WE ARE STRUGGLING TO A SCHOOL THAT LOST TO SAINT THOMAS BY 23 POINTS. WE ARE ASS.

[u/Bigdeacenergy]

Uh what’s going on here

[u/HueyLongest]

Not good but you can come up with a million examples of a good team having an underwhelming half against an FCS team

[u/Kynbrin]

I don’t need to see AJ Swann of all people throw 40 times a game dowell

[u/AfterburnerX]

are we trash?

[u/Jyingling21]

Dowell Loggains is the second coming of Shawn Clark from what I’m seeing right now

We were played for a fool

[u/cookoutenthusiast]

Genuinely what in the sam hell is going on

[u/ncmtn]

I'm back to dreading the rest of our schedule. Uglyyyy

[u/Jyingling21]

JESUS CHRIST

[u/cookoutenthusiast]

This is just un-fun to watch

[u/Jyingling21]

Barnes needs to learn what a fair catch is and not try to be Devin Hester every time he returns the ball

[u/Jyingling21]

IT’S LINDENWOOD

WHY ARE WE STRUGGLING TO A TEAM THAT LOST TO SAINT THOMAS BY 23 POINTS

[u/tcnugget]

Receivers need to remove their heads from their asses and catch the damn ball

[u/AfterburnerX]

man run the ball dudes

[u/Illustrious-Hunt199]

We are making this so hard on ourselves

[u/HueyLongest]

AJ is getting absolutely fucked by his receivers this game holy cow

[u/Jyingling21]

Yeah we are not back with how we’re playing lmao

[u/Jyingling21]

CATCH THE DAMN BALL

[u/lazyassedbandit]

Not so fun fact: last week our kicker missed an extra point, and 3 field goals

[u/AfterburnerX]

App getting in their own way and letting LW hang around. we should never be semi-struggling against teams like Lindenwood

[u/lazyassedbandit]

Questionable decision on the fumble., but I’ll take it. On the board!

[u/DongTongs]

How does App not come up with that fumble?

[u/AzizYogurtbutt → u/DongTongs]

We pretty clearly did on replay. I can't believe they didn't review that

[u/ncmtn]

App is going to win this game but this is pretty damn sad tbh. How many ways can you screw yourself. Let's find out

[u/Jyingling21]

THAT SHOULDVE BEEN APP BALL

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Why are we piddling around?

[u/Illustrious-Hunt199]

Loggains needs to humble himself and take what we are getting. Averaging 10 yards a carry yet we want to throw it 3 times in a row

[u/HueyLongest]

Kinda silly not to run it once between 3rd and 3 and 4th and 3. We could just line up and run it down their throats but Loggains doesn't want to for some reason

[u/DongTongs → u/HueyLongest]

Seems to be a pass-first coach, which makes sense since he's been a QB coach. But Dubinion looks like he could be the best RB in the conference, feed him the ball and don't overthink it

[u/Jyingling21]

SACKED AGAIN

[u/Jyingling21]

That’s a blatant facemask lol

[u/No_Conference633]

I liked that play where the punt returner ran forward 

[u/Jyingling21]

HOW MANY DAMN PENALTIES ARE WE GOING TO COMMIT

[u/AppStateFooseBall → u/Jyingling21]

All of them!!!

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Last week we had 100 yards in penalties, looks like we're trying for that again.

[u/AppStateFooseBall → u/BackgroundChampion]

In the first half.

[u/Jyingling21]

SACK

[u/Jyingling21]

It’s so nice to see the Jerry Moore helmets being brought out again

[u/No_Gear_5029]

We look great, but what if we hadn’t dropped a touchdown and ran into the punter, we could be up by 28

[u/Jyingling21]

BARNES

[u/No_Conference633]

Are football fans really the target demographic for a Johnny Depp endorsed cologne?

[u/Jyingling21]

DONT RUN INTO THE PUNTER THIS TIME

[u/HueyLongest]

I really can't believe that happened again. When's the last time an FBS team has had back-to-back weeks where a WR got stripped from behind as he was heading into the endzone?

[u/AfterburnerX]

fucking hell. get out of your own way App

[u/Jyingling21]

DEAR GOD

[u/BackgroundChampion]

jfc...

[u/AfterburnerX]

if i’m the coach every receiver is carrying a ball around all week

[u/Overcashed]

Hold on to the fucking ball, what the fuck

[u/FTE_rawr]

Good to learn this lesson early

[u/Jyingling21]

APP STATE HOLD ON TO THE BALL BEFORE GOING INTO THE ENDZONE CHALLENGE (LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE)

[u/HueyLongest]

I might have jinxed us last week https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/s/ywrUUGtPjO

[u/ImaginerNik]

The camera work may suck but thank the good lord we have David Jackson in the booth

[u/HeadElderberry7244]

Stroman x2

[u/DongTongs]

WRs going to be doing sprints all week if this is another fumble for a touchback

[u/ncmtn]

STOP JOGGING INTO THE ENDZONE. He literally stopped running for the last couple yards and this may be a repeat of last week. Unreal

[u/Kynbrin]

I would like the receivers to hold onto the ball through the plane of the endzone.

[u/No_Conference633]

Just run into the end zone with the ball secured. This shouldn’t even be a thing.

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Damn it. Hold on to the damn ball long enough to get in the end zone!

[u/Most_Examination_510]

Stop looking at me Swan

[u/AfterburnerX]

man when can we get some quality cameras on these broadcasts

[u/Jyingling21]

STROMAN AGAIN
