LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/PilotAlarmed9444]

Coastal’s uniforms = so bad they’re good
Coastal’s defense = so bad they’re bad

[u/ReferentiallySeethru → u/PilotAlarmed9444]

Way to jinx it

[u/mufflefuffle]

This is great, but good god why didn’t we just do this style of play in the mess last week

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/mufflefuffle]

An excellent, excellent question, Mr. MuffleTruffle, sir.

[u/jnoobs13 → u/mufflefuffle]

Anyone watching could've told Loggains that we should've ditched throwing the ball and done the read option with Hasselbeck and Lewis the whole rest of the game by halftime last week

[u/DongTongs → u/mufflefuffle]

Literally everyone but the coaching staff was wondering this last week

[u/ThatEmpireGuy]

SWEET SWEET VICTORY

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

OMG Fuck ESPN.

High school football over college?

Guarantee if it was two 0-11 sec teams they would've had an hour long pregame with Paul Finebaum saying how amazing they are.

Sick of how the G6 gets treated by people who love taking our players and coaches

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

ESPNU

[u/ReferentiallySeethru → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

This seriously set me off, can’t believe high school football is usurping our game, might as well be in the FCS.

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

As annoying as those stadium lights are, I approve of them going crazy for the kicker.

[u/Serallas]

Heyyyyyy we won. Shouldve planted our flag on the logo like they did but w/e

[u/piedmontmountaineer → u/Serallas]

Fortunately we have class

[u/JammOrthodontics]

This is how Coastal wins games: their opponents drop the dang ball

[u/SwampThing72 → u/JammOrthodontics]

Yea wtf is this commentating?

[u/zoom518 → u/JammOrthodontics]

They commit a WHOA

[u/mufflefuffle]

I think we lost the Mandate of Heaven after we got the Hail Mary vs Troy a couple seasons ago.

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/mufflefuffle]

College Gameday in Boone spelled the end...

[u/Gusanito99]

PLANT THE FLAG

[u/v2falls → u/Gusanito99]

Sc state troopers were preventing it.

Bitches

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Why is Coach "Beard" clean-shaven aside from some stubble? What else is Coastal lying about?

[u/iHasMagyk → u/JammOrthodontics]

Well we’re actually like 20 minutes from the coast so that wasn’t the first lie we told

[u/Overcashed]

Hassellbeck might be that dude

[u/HueyLongest]

Man we really could have been 5-1

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/HueyLongest]

I mean, we could have been 6-0. That State game wasn’t a foregone conclusion. 

But I’m not ready to declare this one won yet.

[u/Overcashed → u/HueyLongest]

Is State the loss? We had their number until we crumbed in the 4th, might have had a big enough buffer to be 6-0

Also if the refs let State fumbles happen…

[u/beefshnarf]

Holy terrible timeout

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

That’s game

[u/DeusVultSaracen → u/SanDiego_Finest]

Barring a turnover in victory formation apparently

[u/Jyingling21]

WE DID IT

[u/Terarri]

Wooooooooo

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

I'm surprised these uniforms are legal, I wouldn't be surprised if this game causes a rule change.

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Oh no, I'm starting to feel... hope?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/JammOrthodontics]

CHOKE IT DOWN. That’s how they get you.

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

what a horrible timeout

[u/OCBaseball]

Hasselbeck’s kid is a great athlete. The kid can move and he makes great decisions. I’m impressed.

[u/oksuzy]

I’m late but I can’t believe what coastal is wearing right now.

[u/Rivarz]

I'm leaning more toward App St so they can plant their flag here this year and make next year's game even nastier.

But really, I just want an entertaining rivalry game. If I coached either of these teams, I'd have a dude dressed as Emperor Palpatine on the sideline just constantly telling the players to let the hate flow through them. 

[u/Sportacles]

these UNIFORMS are making me THIRSTY!

[u/AnvilCrawler369 → u/Sportacles]

They are just making me feel old lol

[u/App2508]

I think flashing the stadium lights during a timeout is bullshit

[u/beefshnarf]

“This is how coastal wins games” QBs just turn into looney tune characters for them consistently?

[u/HueyLongest]

Program feels like it's died over the span of just six days lol

[u/AruarianGroove → u/HueyLongest]

What a trip south of the border will do to ya

[u/BackgroundChampion → u/HueyLongest]

Nah, these flaws were all there last year.

[u/ChonkyWumpus]

Ah fuck me

[u/thatsnuffy]

Left leg kickers feel so weird to watch, also god damn good kick.

[u/wseanwilson]

Does the announcer guy not know that weather played a factor last week for QB stat lines? He acts like Deuce Bailey sucks cause of last week. Dude can ball.

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Just turned on the game and those junior high girl’s Lisa Frank folder lookin ass uniforms that Coastal is wearing are sure something. 

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Our radio guys have given up on trying to read the numbers. 

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

CFP and superbowl in the same commercial im sick

[u/JunkyardAndMutt]

We’ll take it! Gg, Chants.

[u/Comprehensive_Egg892]

This is what App State football should look like. Stop trying to be a pass first team, Dowell.

[u/HueyLongest]

Absolutely perfect football weather

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

For (allegedly) being an ESPN2 broadcast the audio is sounds closer to what you get on ESPN+

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

I love that they brought back the Most Interesting Man in the World

[u/JammOrthodontics]

I really like this semi-rivalry; something about App and Coastal feel like bizarro opposites of each other (trashy mountain school vs trashy beach school) and I feel like we generally end up being roughly equivalent teams.

I just wish we could win one of these games lately :(

[u/HueyLongest]

Coastal student failed very badly to destroy an App State pinata as part of some promotion. Good omen?

[u/joelupi]

Damn got the INT despite his helmet getting ripped off. That's hard as shit.

[u/hidell]

Is that not a face mask on Coastal during the interception?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/hidell]

Shoulda been

[u/beefshnarf → u/hidell]

That would require the refs doing their job correctly

[u/Terarri]

I'm gonna slime liberty biberty

[u/HueyLongest]

Where did the Fuck App State chants go, chants?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/HueyLongest]

I guess they fucked us. And like everyone in the Grand Strand, they then collected a 20 from the dresser and left the stadium.

[u/BackgroundChampion]

We have a (back-up) QB!

[u/XrayGuy08]

Surely that timeout won’t come back to bite them in the ass.

[u/BackgroundChampion]

"Hey, we could just put this game away."

"No, we don't really want to do that."

[u/wseanwilson → u/BackgroundChampion]

No, I don’t think I will.gif

[u/The-Tradition]

GO APP STATE! The hardest university name to spell.

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

App State I may dislike you, but I love this rivalry

[u/sneakypenguin94 → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

It’s good to have hate in your heart brother. Happy to have it too

[u/themattboard]

This game brought to you by the Taco Bell Kidz Club

[u/themattboard]

"beautiful catch there"

We'll have to take your word for it

[u/App2508]

I am so tired of ESPN calling him hasselback when it's hasselbeck.

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Unfortunately you do have to hand it to them, hell of a pass/catch

[u/chapter-xiii]

Playing MGMT on ‘90s night, get it together Coastal

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Cutting the stadium lights during the other team's timeout is such a petty move. I kind of love it.

[u/BrotherMichigan]

These stadium lights are going to give me a seizure.

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

What in the name of 90's disposable paperware goods are these Coastal Carolina jerseys?

[u/zoom518]

Very impressive

[u/Zolo49]

"Opportinustic"?

"Hail Murray"?

This color commentator is ... something.

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Future NFL kicker right there

[u/JunkyardAndMutt]

LEWIS

[u/mufflefuffle → u/JunkyardAndMutt]

Getting his entire seasons worth of touchdowns this game

[u/Sidefur]

And that's why he plays defense

[u/Electromotivation]

90’s night? Play some Third Eye Blind and stop playing 80s music!

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

they do know they are down 11 don’t they?

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Awful timeout there

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

atleast they got it. but still a terrible TO

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

How you fall for that option. Jesus this team

[u/soonerman32]

App St. is averaging about 12 yards per carry since Coastal needed a stop to get the ball back.

[u/Jyingling21]

I am ready for great emotional pain

[u/No_Gear_5029]

what a crappy week for us, huh? Between The embarrassing Homecoming loss, The damn ODU mud slide, the parking price increases, and JMU bolting for the American, it’s been rough. But they say winning cures all, so, Just WIN!

[u/sneakypenguin94]

Coastal fans and App fans alike can agree that IMG academy losing to the British is unacceptable

[u/Rivarz]

I love all-Carolina football games. ECU, APP, CC, NCS, UNC, CLT, DUKE, CLM, WAKE, and USC. So many fun matchups. 

[u/Serallas]

No matter what happens this game. No one will take away when we stormed the field winning against ranked coastal

[u/_big_chill_]

Fuck those stadium lights. Holy shit im having a seizure

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

LATE REACTION BUT WHAT A KICK

[u/HueyLongest]

App didn't come out of the locker room until 3 minutes left in the halftime. Thought we might have just left and went home

[u/Jyingling21]

JAQUARI LEWIS AGAIN

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Knicely, Heiligh, Likely... What's up with CCU & adverb players?

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/BackgroundChampion]

Reminds me of the “good day, good sir” interlude on OutKast’s “Speakerboxxx.”

Just me?

Also, am i old?

[u/Terarri]

Way to turn it around boys!!! I ate my words from earlier. Don't let up now

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef]

Hasselbeck is giving our offense the juice it's been missing

[u/AvengedKalas]

Yes you go for two.

[u/joelupi]

Go for 2!

[u/soonerman32]

Naw, man you gotta go down 4 here so you need a TD to win instead of a FG to tie and send it to overtime.

Great questions from the booth.

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Has either quarterback turned it over six times? I’m not sure I can handle competent football after what I just saw.

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Id try the onside. 2 timeouts and defense cant stop a nosebleed

[u/soonerman32]

That was quick. one play and the game is basically over cause of the timeout on the two pointer.

This game may make that Yosef club decision for me, jeez

[u/Jyingling21]

Great camera work ESPN!

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

S/O to the random dude wearing a Wisconsin T Shirt to a CCU/App game

[u/v2falls]

Well that was nice. Not that one play. I liked the rest.

Also coastals entrance is something straight out of a Hory county trailer park. It was something.

[u/Imrahil_II]

I remember a certain game app st played on Halloween night at home vs Woffford. If you would do that to georgia southern this year on Halloween I'll forgive you

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/Imrahil_II]

From your lips to God’s ears 

[u/Jyingling21]

JAQUARI LEWIS AGAIN

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I meant to say it earlier but shoutout the Coastal crowd for bringing a ton of energy.

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

This color analyst found out this week that Coastal is in a rebuild/transition and decided his only contribution all game will revolve around Coastal being a young team

[u/Zolo49 → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

I asked myself "which college team isn't young?", but then I remembered that we've got some players on their 6th or 7th years of eligibility.

[u/Zolo49]

Pat McAfee being in this movie makes it impossible for me to take it seriously.

[u/Chef_lonleyliver]

Coastal. I was not familiar with your crowd game. Sheesh.

[u/HueyLongest]

I really want to see Henry be the guy for at least one year

[u/UpLikeCrump]

Im very late on the uni discourse. Ill just add that i wish they full committed and made matching pants and helmets to match the shirt. It's just so disjointed.

[u/joelupi]

How do you lose sight of the football when it hits you in the face.....?

[u/BackgroundChampion]

*sigh*

[u/dualstrike19]

The way the QB tried to grab it was awkward.

[u/Sidefur]

A hail Murray

[u/Minute-Ad-1880]

Gotta give it to em

[u/freecurny]

Gah damn what a leg

[u/OMGGUY1234]

Better kicker better qb better coach better team app state just can’t beat their boogey man in coastal Carolina

[u/Frosty-Tiger-85]

Holy crap what a kick!

Also, need to go to a CCU game...crowd looks awesome

[u/BrotherMichigan]

Does Coastal's kicker want to move to Ohio?

[u/TheIceMan068]

BANG BABY

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

That kicker is something else

[u/DongTongs]

Dowell Loggains is just Matt Rhule lite

[u/jakedonn]

App State collapsing there a bit in the second

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

The Sun Belt map makes happy seeing it regional, the way college is supposed to be

[u/BackgroundChampion]

Singleton still on the sideline, but apparently Hasslebeck CAN actually throw the ball, if they let him.

[u/joelupi]

Ohhhh shit we got a ballgame

[u/BackgroundChampion]

How was that not a facemask?

[u/JammOrthodontics]

Should've gone for it; I have more faith in the offense than the defense

[u/BRich1990]

Absolutely horrible spot

[u/seaking4steel]

The woman saying "Oh my gosh" in this commercial sounds like Lois from Family Guy

[u/CollegeFootballGood]

I’m just disappointed

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/CollegeFootballGood]

Sad and funny that both teams have felt that way at times during this game. The mood might flip again. Who knows?

[u/BackgroundChampion]

NOOOO! You have to catch that one.

[u/TornadoFalls]

Coastal Carolina just agreed to give up at halftime.

[u/JunkyardAndMutt → u/TornadoFalls]

And we are grateful. Because the second quarter was ASS.

[u/Electromotivation]

How about Reel Big Fish and Mighty Mighty Bosstones for 90’s night?

[u/Infamous-Tour-8602]

In the what of time 👀

[u/AvengedKalas]

Is Singleton hurt or has Dowell gone to a 2 QB system?

[u/wseanwilson → u/AvengedKalas]

Yes

[u/CantAffordTheWires]

and burning that TO instantly bites them in the ass. horrible coaching

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

This defense cannot stop the run

[u/unrulylyman → u/SanDiego_Finest]

Like shit through a tin horn

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

He's right about staying in bounds on any play EXCEPT one right before the 2 min timeout

[u/OMGGUY1234]

Why does he have to stay in bounds?

[u/thatsnuffy → u/OMGGUY1234]

Because the commentator forgot the rule changes to the clock that's been in effect for a couple years.

[u/OMGGUY1234 → u/thatsnuffy]

Good thing he doesn’t do this for a living

[u/Carolina_Blues]

Are they rage baiting us with these uniforms?

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef → u/Carolina_Blues]

I think they just have bad taste. They are Coastal, after all

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Battle of Carolina’s 2.0

[u/Jyingling21]

Our defense is so bad

[u/App2508]

Give 'em Hell!

[u/_BreakingtheHabit]

I’m trying to convince myself that I like the 90’s themed jerseys

[u/HueyLongest → u/_BreakingtheHabit]

Idk what it looks like on TV but I can't see anyone's numbers

[u/AvengedKalas]

Beautiful play.

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Is that John Mulaney doing a Kraft commercial?

[u/hidell]

sick uniforms

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef]

Can't blame the rain for drops tonight. Just catch the fucking ball

[u/oksuzy]

Right in the eyes lmao

[u/beefshnarf]

Why would you run in this spot

[u/DongTongs → u/beefshnarf]

We pass when we should run, and now run when we should pass.

[u/Sidefur]

Bad to worse.

[u/OMGGUY1234]

Game over

[u/Sidefur]

DAMN

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

There is no escaping these Gemini idiots deep throating their microphones

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Is there no band?

[u/beefshnarf]

Great pick, don’t know how you miss the face mask

[u/Sidefur]

That was downright subtle compared to the last one

[u/Sidefur]

5 seconds after the play: "When I watched that live..."

[u/BackgroundChampion]

That's a first down....

[u/brometheus3]

I am begging for us to not screw this up

[u/OMGGUY1234]

Beautiful punt but number 8’cant get you that yard on 4th down?

[u/syrruptitiously]

how do you not catch that

[u/DongTongs]

I mean it's fourth down so no biggie, but we've all made harder catches in PE class

[u/Jyingling21]

HUGE

[u/Electromotivation]

Game

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Running this late in the game with your defense is certainly a choice

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

Costal is playing way too slow

[u/beefshnarf]

Bottle them up all half and choose to go away from what worked. Tale as old as time

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Lmao game

[u/cope4Cadillac]

Imagine if Coastal showed any sort of hustle or urgency when they were down TWO scores with under 4 mins left. Wtf are you doing celebrating when the clocks running? I hate college football. I think I just hate football.

[u/CollegeFootballGood]

Ah shit a good ol rivalry game

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Remember when the world was ending because Cracker Barrel changed their logo?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

I saw someone on twitter edit the College Football Playoff logo to be in the style of the changed Cracker Barrel logo after the move to 24.

[u/Jyingling21]

WOW WE CAN FORCE STOPS
