Especially the yellow pants with the yellow jerseys! Words can't describe that uniform.

Ugliest uniform ever worn in Kidd Brewer Stadium. Thanks Nike!

A bigger reason for the predicted low turnout is the SEC Championship game featuring Alabama that will end right before the USA game begins.

It's also going to be cold!

Weather Channel calling for 56 degrees at kickoff. For early December in Boone that's pretty much a heat wave.

I loved it! Also, our "yeller" gold sets us apart from all of the other schools that use an "old" gold. I like that we're different

This is Old Gold. I have no idea what you think it is but your unis are yellow.

There are numerous schools that use Yellar as well. Prior to 1983 App's official color was Old Gold. The issue with me is why it was changed. Our AD at that time, a guy from Texas who has been in Boone less than a year, made the decision to change it. He didn't consult anyone, just made the decison. The reason for his decision was not to be different and contrary to a popular myth not because he didn't like being the same as Wake Forest. It was because the uniform supplier we were using at the time - a sporting goods store in North Wilkesboro - didn't have as supplier that offered Old Gold any longer. Why didn't he just go to another supplier you might ask. This supplier also donated a fair amount of money to the athletics department (aka a kickback) and they weren't going to lose that. So instead of sticking with tradition and finding another source that supplied Old / Vegas Gold he simply switched to what was called Athletic Gold or PMS 109.

Having been in the coatings business for nearly 30 years I'll admit this is something I probably pay more attention to than the average fan. But I'm also a ticked we allowed this guy to kick history & traditon to the curb in favor of a few bucks.

For reference, not that it matters.
Old Gold formerly used by App is Pantone 871.
Athletic Gold first used by ASU in 1983 is Pantone 109.
Appalachian's official colors today are Pantone are 115 & 116 - because that's what Nike uses.
Interestingly enough Old Gold 871 is still an official Appalachian color, but is restricted and authorized only for use by the Office of the Chancellor and Office of University Communications.

That is actually more in line with Vegas Gold, which has become the norm for Old Gold these day. Old Gold is much darker and not shiny and shimmery like Vegas Gold. This is Old Gold.

Quote:I will be at this game, will begin the tailgate process at LPS around 1 pm. Kudos to USA for allowing us to tailgate so early.

Don't get out there that early. You will be the only person sitting in an empty lot.

I'd go around 4 and it will still be pretty empty. I'm serious about this.

Go visit the USS Alabama or get some lunch and beers at Moe's BBQ and watch the early games. Do your tailgating on Dauphin Street.

South Alabama elected to wear all white at home tonight, so App is going to wear all black on the road.

From al.com

Quote:Here's a closer look at what South Alabama must do to win Saturday against the Mountaineers:

1. Have a good second drive

The Jaguars have scored touchdowns on their opening possession of their two most-recent games, but have been unable to sustain that success. South Alabama scored three points the rest of the way after leading 7-0 against Georgia State, and 10 more after an early advantage against Georgia Southern. South Alabama has been outscored 118-58 in the second quarter this season.

2. Get a good game out of Cody Clements

The South Alabama quarterback is expected to play after missing most of the second half against Georgia Southern with a recurring shoulder injury, and the Jaguars need Clements to bounce back from recent ineffectiveness. The fifth-year senior has just one 200-yard game in his last five, and was just 5 of 12 for 64 yards before being injured last week.

3. Make big plays on defense, special teams

South Alabama's poor play offensively has taken its toll on the Jaguars' defense, which was worn down in the second half of many of its losses. However, the South Alabama defense must do its part to get off the field as well, and have more plays like the fumble return and blocked punt that led to 10 of its 17 points against Georgia Southern.

There might be 100 people at the game. You'd think with a chance to go bowling they'd be hyped

Go Jags.

Let's get a fifth bowl team.

Attendance is ridiculous !

That was quick.

App 7-0.

Wow!

USA may be ready to just mail this one in

I dunno, the offense is looking more awake than the defense did.
