When is the last time this game had implications of this magnitude for both teams?

Probably 2018.

Nice to see balance being restored in the conference.

Here we go again and dam it feels good.

I'll put this rivalry up against any other in G6 easily. And it's better than most in P4 that simply lean on some trophy everyone has forgotten the meaning of.

We just don't like each other and the wins and losses through the years look like a Rocky movie where both people are standing in the middle of the ring with no sense of self-preservation, just looking to beat the absolute **** out of the other.

There's begrudging respect before, after, and even during the game, but also no shortage of hatred from students, players, former players, and alumni.

Some schools around here love to prance around whenever they're on top of a particular sport, and I'm sure our fans do the same when we're really on a roll. But there isn't anything in the same zip code of GS-App in football, and it only grows exponentially when the game matters as much as it will on Saturday.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: I know I mentioned the intensity of the rivalry and others have shared their horror stories, but I'd add that the other thing that makes this rivalry great is that there really is respoect from everyone who isn't dead-set on being an ******* to the other for no good reason.

I've never talked smack to any App fan who was trying to just enjoy a game. And I've walked past the ignorant App fans (I know we have ours too) giving me the finger with a smile and wave before finding a tailgate in Boone where we all had a good time while knowing what was about to go down.

HATE WEEK can't be topped. I hope all App visitors have a great time right up until kickoff.

App's NY6 dreams got dashed. The win put GS in position to take the East, but that was the middle of a 2018-20 run where we had a big win that put us in position every year, only to immediately lose the next week and play ourselves out of the title game.

There are programs I hate to lose to, but there is no one I enjoy beating more than Gnatsville U.

Let's be honest. Your coach is bad. Our coach is 50/50. GS should be favored for no other reason than playing at Paulson. Kiss of death I admit. But! Apps in a position to take over the east. NOT HAPPENING!!!

WCU’s mountains are way better than App

GA St has a better drainage ditch.

Is that where you live with all the other App grads who lost their fast food jobs to AI?

I had to look at the username to see if that was a UNCC fan. You can do better, even with your GSU education.

GSU has no knowledge of SI. They've never been featured on the cover.
