Hey pirate booties, seems we're gonna get the ol FO.

Hey Georgia & Clemson...



I lived in Georgia for a couple years... Georgia fans are EASILY as trashy as your typical Wal-Heel fans. Probably even trashier.

Clemson fans (alumni) are OK. Problem is, just like UGA... alumni only make up around 5% of the fanbase... and Charlotte will be getting a good ol' Walmart slobberknocker.

I blame City of Charlotte, Carolina Panthers, UNC Charlotte 49's, Charlotte Bobcats, and Charlotte Independence.

They probably won't be around in 2021 so they'll take all the blame, I bet.

Yeah very not pleased about this. This has been scheduled now for that date in Charlotte since January of 2017. I certainly have to wonder about the contract provisions for moving the game.

That was the best high school football team I have ever seen in person.

QB - Chris Leak (Florida)
RB - Dominique Lindsay (ECU)
WR - Mohammed Massaquoi (Georgia)
WR - Hakeem Nicks (UNC)

Absolutely devastating.

Rather unfortunate that two out-of-state teams kicked North Carolina teams out of their regularly scheduled date.

The Bobcats haven't been around for awhile either. Not sure why they're to blame for this

Ooooohhh. That... is embarrassing.

Right now ECU and App St. are carrying their dinners over to the table by the kitchen entrance while their waiter is clearing off their romantic table for two by the window for Georgia and Clemson... who just walked in.

The one thing that would make up for it would be a week zero or 9/2/21 game on the flagship plus a fat check from the SEC/ACC/Panthers.

Independence definitely had a dynasty going at that time. They used to have some "questionable" practices that basically amounted to recruiting. I know that Chris Leak's family actually LIVED in the South Mecklenburg district, but they rented an apartment in the Independence District to qualify him to play there. All things come to an end though. Once they lost their coach, they haven't quite been the same.

Kinda like when all your friends leave for other, fancier lunch room tables and you're not invited....

Ditto. We lost some of our best Providence players to Independence. Back then, it didn't seem like you needed much more than a doctor's note.

Nothing official from App or ECU but both UGA and Clemson's press releases state that App/ECU will be on Thursday Sept 2nd.

ESPN already will have a night game that day. ESPN2 might be where this game ends up.

... but until then you can feel free to live in the gym for as long as needed, or at least until basketball season starts.

No doubt App, and to a lesser degree ECU are getting shafted. But you can’t blame the CSE folks for putting together a top 5 matchup that will make a ton of $$$ for them. This might be the marquee OOC matchup for the season.

The only silver lining is if the cancellation provision is enforced ($500k to App) and if it’s on a decent tv channel. I’ll still go but I bet my group is cut in half, if not more.

How are we getting shafted to a lesser extent? Instead of a 2 for 1, we agreed to a neutral game at BOA that, if on a Saturday, would sell loads of seats. If it's going to be on Thursday, might as well move it back to Greenville.

It isn't a neutral game though. It's an App home game at BOA. App gets all the financial incentive of the game. Even a chunk of y'all's tickets sold in the season ticket portion is going to App. Moving the game from sat to Thur will result in less attendance which was going into the pockets of App State

Correct. App State will receive 50% of ECU's season-ticket revenue above $100,000 for this game only.

Assume a $40 face value: App will receive 50% of ECU season-ticket revenue for this game after 2,500 season tickets. Assuming this game is a mandatory part of ECU 2021 season tickets, that is a significant chunk of change with ECU season ticket numbers likely to increase from their 13,000 in 2019.
