Jerry Moore is the man, and one of the most charismatic humans I've ever met.
The administration fumbled his retirement/send off for sure.

However, no arguing that his teams had started to slip along many facets, and the program was better served by the hard stop by admin.

It was tough and very emotional, but after ~5 years I feel it was the right call.

Do wish that the school could 100% patch things up because we need Coach Moore.

I knew it would trigger some folks, and knew you'd be one.

Let's see...

Football:
2005 - "The Knee" as it's referred to in San Marcos. FCS semi-finals in San Marcos vs. UNI. UNI ties the game late. I'm not sure how much time was left exactly, but I think it was around 90 seconds to 2 minutes in a 37-37 game. Despite our offense moving the ball with relative ease all game we decide to take a knee and go to OT despite having a couple timeouts in our pocket. We go on to lose in OT.

2007 - Got smoked at home by (at the time) D2 ACU 45-27. ACU ended up forfeiting that win for using ineligible players, but still it was embarrassing.

2009 - Vs. Southeastern Louisiana in San Marcos. With 11 minutes left in the game we score and miss the PAT to take a 44-20 lead. Southeastern then scored, converted a two point conversion, blocked a punt, scored again, converted another two point conversion, got a stop, then scored again, and converted yet another two point conversion to tie the game at 44 and send it to OT. Southeastern quickly scored on their first possession to make it 51-50, we quickly answer with a TD of our own and miss another PAT to lose 51-50.

2012 - UTSA in San Antonio. Our first year of FBS, but only UTSA's 2nd year of football. Lost 38-31. Considered drinking myself to death that night, but luckily I'm a happy drunk and after my 12th drink or so I forgot all about the game....

2015-present - All of it. Please God let it end.

Basketball:
Entire 2005-2006 season. We went 4-24. 2 of those 4 wins were vs. non-D1 teams. That was my first season as a bobcat fan and it really set the tone for basketball for the next decade.

2010 - Somehow managed to lose to, wait for it, Our Lady of the Lake University, by the absurd score of 127-126. That game pretty much summed up Doug Davalos's tenure at TXST. Getting 127 points dropped on you by a small private NAIA school.

2012 - Being too cheap to fire Davalos after a pathetic season our last year in the Southland where we put up an embarrassing 5-11 conference record on our way out the door as we moved up to a better conference. Davalos had one year left on his contract and we decided to retain him and just throw the one WAC year away.

Baseball:
2009 - Austin regional performance.
2009 was my favorite baseball season at TXST. We went 41-17 and Paul Goldschmidt was worth the price of every ticket by himself. We got a 2 seed in the Austin regional and thought we had a chance to compete with UT to win the regional. We didn't even get a chance to play UT as we went 2 and out vs. the 3 and 4 seeds. First we took a 5-2 lead to the 9th vs. Boston College just to give up 6 runs in the top half of the inning. After a leadoff walk, Goldy smashed a two-run homer to get us to within 8-7 but we couldn't score another run. The next day the #4 seed Army knocked us out.

2015 - Entire season. Harrington missed the entire season battling stage 3 cancer and the team bombed in his absence with our worst season in decades. The whole season was terrible, from worrying about Harrington to the awful 24-32 record we put up.

2018 - How bout some recent heartache? At Texas last month. Took a 10-6 lead into the 9th. Closer can't get anyone out and finally David Hamilton, who is a San Marcos native who turned us down to play for the Longhorns hits a walk-off grand slam to beat us 11-10. Hamilton has 5 career home runs, and 3 of them have been against Texas State.

6 Drew Little fake punt fumble recovery run back for a TD

5 Trent Miles is possibly still calling time outs vs Appalachian State

4 Lambuth!

3 St Francis (;if you google St. Francis vs Georgia State you can find their 30 for 30 style film about beating us.)

2 GS 69 - GSU 31 , banner unfurled...

1 Money Drop

It's time to put an end to all the fallacies concerning JM's departure. The university didn't fumble anything. App had made the decision to move up to FBS. Jerry Moore wanted nothing to do with it. Ken Peacock approached JM with the idea of a grand finale tour followed by a position as a fund raiser for athletics to the tune of $125,000 year. All he had to do was play some golf, make appearances at Yosef functions and talk to potential corporate donors. Coach Moore agreed to it, but refused the public send off saying the games should be about the players, not him. It turned out that was not his motive. Following the last game he was expected to make an announcement, but he didn't. In fact he did just the opposite saying to reporters who had been given a heads up to expect a big announcement, “I haven’t thought about anything but coming back.” He then refused to make good on the deal saying he "deserved" to come back for one more year. That wasn't possible because the wheels were in motion and we had to begin preparing for the move to FBS. Coach Moore began a very public campaign playing the "they're forcing me out card" and it angered Chancellor Peacock and Charlie Cobb. For a guy who didn't want any publicity he sure didn't mind taking his case to the papers. He claimed he was never told about any type of agreement because he hadn't signed one. That was nothing new to Coach Moore since he coached the last 10-12 years at App without ever signing a new contract. A totally inexcuseable allowance by Chancellor Borkowski and AD Laney. And about that claim he was "blindsided" by it. Coach Moore wasn't exactly being up front about it because the staff knew about it and he had also told some former coaches he was being "forced out". He also wanted his son Chris be allowed follow him as head coach. One thing he did agree to is stepping down of his son Chris was allowed to follow him as head coach. Don't doubt me on this. Jerry Moore drug our program, the program he helped build, through the mud because he thought he was bigger than the program. He thought there was no way the university was going to make him step down after a winning season. Unfortunately for Coach Moore Ken Peacock already had the ship turned towards FBS and there was no way he was going to let anyone slow that down.

Correct. That’s the day that then-President Nedderman announces it was over. A lot of reasons, but one of the few times in the DI era that there was something to look forward to in the upcoming season. All 11 starters from a dynamic offense, eight defensive starters and both kickers were set to return. The home/away schedule was favorable and the Mavericks were seven points away from a conference championship in 1985.

I see people complaining about losses occurred to their program. Actually losing the program really puts that in perspective for me.

Fo, I feel your pain, and it doesn't seem to go away. Last week, our esteemed President Karbhari responded to a question at a staff meeting about bringing football back, saying it would cost $150million to do so, and he didn't want to put that burden on the backs of UT Arlington students. I suppose when we finally do get a team, it will be that much sweeter.

As much as I appreciate Carl Patton's efforts for transforming Georgia State into a nationally-ranked research institution with $1bil+ annual operating budget...his stubborn anti-football stance held us back for so long....imagine if we started football in the early 90s....

I was also on campus for three presidents in 4 years. GSU could never have had football in the early 90s. I mean we had a President change our name to Crimson Panthers because he was a Bama alumnus. Patton had one failing. I’ll take it. Just happy we had Patton followed by Becker. Two great ones.

Agreed. I mainly chose GSU over UGA for the spot in the honors college and the perks that came with it (the other main reason was the unique on-campus experience in the city), however, I wouldn't have chosen Georgia State at all if the degree didn't hold much merit in the first place. For that, I am grateful for Patton's leadership.

I've heard different things from different App fans.

I will say, though, that you probably needed to be really careful not to get into a Bobby Bowden or Larry Blakeney situation where the legendary coach just hangs around too long and causes the program to stagnate, especially when Scott Satterfield could easily get tired of waiting and find another job.

When Mario Cristobal was fired at FIU they might very well had chosen to hire Satterfield to replace him, and then getting him to App would've been very expensive, if not impossible.

Just my 2 cents.

I would add somewhere in ours Bill Curry's retirement press conference with then AD Cheryl Levick acting like Natasha Fatale.

I realize you idolize Jerry Moore, but accusing someone of lying is a bit extreme. Especially when you really don't know what you're talking about. I am no fan of Charlie Cobb, but know Ken Peacock very well. I was very close to this situation and can tell you with 100% certainty the story you believe to be true is not. Fortunately this is in the past and we're moved on.

The Apps rolled into the game averaging 31 ppg and only giving up 15, having held 8 teams to 14 points or less. VMI TRUE FRESHMAN Thomas Haskins, roomate of Dexter Coakley at Fork Union who wanted to come to App, ran for 225 yards as the Keydets won 26-23 in OT. It's largely thought of as one of, if not the single greatest regular-season upset in Southern Conference football history. And I was there to watch every painful second of it.

There was OT in 1994?

The SoCon implemented overtime for regular season games in 1991, the first D1 conference to do so. FBS didn't until 1995.

Great story about Georgia State! This sounds just like UT Arlington today: The same old cliche's - commuter school, etc.

“Yes, we were once a commuter school oriented toward evening and part-time programs,” says Becker, who came to Georgia State by way of Penn State and the University of Michigan, both of which won football national championships while he was around. “But we now have the full palette for a traditional undergraduate: They can live on campus, and there’s a complete athletics program with football on Saturdays.” It sounds like such a simple thing. Yet when the Panthers, who will eventually play in the Colonial Athletic Association, line up against Shorter University for the first game on September 2, it will have taken Georgia State ninety-seven years to play NCAA football. And its home field? A cozy little place off Northside Drive called the Georgia Dome. (Qoute from Atlanta Magazine.com)
