BOONE, N.C. – Appalachian State's home football game scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 15, against Southern Miss will not be played this weekend in Boone due to increasing concerns associated with Hurricane Florence.

While the scope of the storm's impact in the High Country is still unknown, university officials have worked in partnership with Southern Miss and emergency management personnel to reach a decision that is in the best interests of the safety and well-being of fans, student-athletes and game day personnel.

Officials from both schools are exploring options to reschedule the game. Further details on that and any ticket implications will be communicated as soon as possible via AppStateSports.com, via email to ticket holders and through local and regional media outlets.

Check AppStateSports.com for the most up-to-date information on the rescheduling of other home athletics events, which include women's soccer, men's soccer, alumni reunions and the 2018 App State Athletics Hall of Fame celebration.

Meh, one less loss for the 2018 season

Good. Because we were going to lose this one by 6 or 7 touchdowns

I know a certain state flagship in the same state with a bye week that matches ours....

Yeah...this was probably for the best.

Why? Every game we can play is an opportunity to get better. Especially as we approach conference games.

Because we were going to be skull-dragged by a better Sun Belt school a week after losing to a bad Sun Belt school.

This is the absolute state of our program in 2018. It's sad.

sad...Bad...SICK!!!

Word is out! Your AD passed on three opportunities to play the game. Last one was to play at Chattanooga (who played at UT Martin) which was only a 6 hour ride from your campus. Pitiful....

“Word is out” sounds pretty reliable.

I don't believe this, but why didn't they come play the game in Hattiesburg?

This is no fake news. It was our home game. We get to make the call where it is played.

Apparently not “IF” our AD turn ya down three times already.

That sounds a bit ridiculous. I highly doubt anyone searched anywhere else to play this game.

I am sure it was offered to come play in Hattiesburg. We have plenty of hotels. Your AD must not have really wanted to play the game.

BDR isn’t lying when says home games are all that matter.
