The Black & Gold Podcast

We're down the home stretch of the season! Where in the world has the time gone? It seems like only a week ago we were preparing for Howard. Now we're sitting at 7-2 getting ready to play a much-improved Idaho team. Not only that, we have BOWL GAMES to consider! But the Mountaineers don't have the luxury of thinking about where they could be playing on December 19th or 23rd for pote...

A lot happened on Thursday night. So much so we had to bring App State Hall of Fame QB Steve Brown back to the show to help us make sense of it all. App State knew it would be a dog fight on Thursday but it ended up being a wolf fight. Corny? Sure. True? Unfortunately. Some may blame coaching, some may blame injuries, some may blame depth. But at the end of the day, Arkansas State executed their g...

The second Thursday night nationally televised game in Boone in two weeks. Who saw that coming 5 years ago?!As important as the Georgia Southern showdown was just 2 weeks ago, this game is bigger. Are we bitter rivals with Arkansas State? No. Not right now. Have the these programs spent more than 2 decades putting together classic, down to the wire games? Nope. Not yet. But this game has all the m...

Last year, the Mountaineers had their coming out party down in Troy. It was a lopsided victory and didn't make Troy look like the prominent FCS and FBS football program they've been in the past two decades. Troy tried their best to return the favor on Halloween in 2015. What was supposed to be a cakewalk, multi-possession game turned into a Triple OT thriller at The Rock. But the Mountai...

The last time the Mountaineers played on Halloween, a high powered App State offense destroyed the Wofford Terriers 70-24.But this isn't 2008. And the Mountaineers have a new element to match a high powered offense... the Zombies on the Mountaineer defense. From the beginning of fall camp, the members of the Mountaineer defense have been completely sold on defensive coordinator Nate Woody&apo...

Thursday night was the biggest game in Boone in a long time and the Mountaineers responded appropriately. With 25,000 of our closest friends in attendance, App State did exactly what they've been wanting to do since last September after an embarrassing game in Statesboro. This game was special that we had to have Appalachian State football Hall of Fame QB Steve Brown join the show to help us...

Welcome to the Pod! What can we say that you don't already know? It doesn't matter what year, month, day, time, conference, coach, quarterback, running back or weather. When App State plays Georgia Southern in Boone - It's Black Saturday. But a new conference has given us opportunities for new traditions. This year the Mountaineers face the hated Georgia Southern Eagles on a Thursda...

It would have been tempting for Scott Satterfield and the Mountaineers to overlook the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks (ULM) on Saturday. After all, they have a poor record and Georgia Southern will be knocking on our front door a mere 5 days afterwards for a Thursday night showdown on national TV that will help shape the Sun Belt championship race. Luckily for us, the Mountaineer faithful, App State fo...

Who's ready to go duck hunting? This weekend the Appalachian State Mountaineers head down to Duck Dynasty country to play the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks for their second Sun Belt conference game of the season. There was one more thing we were going to mention. Now what was it? Hmmm... Oh yeah! Legendary App State Hall of Fame Quarterback Steve Brown joins us on the show this week and gives his...

The App State Ring Quest 2015 Tour rolled into the Georgia Dome on Saturday and did not disappoint. The Mountaineers are now 4-1 on the year with 7 more conference games yet to play. In other news, head coach Scott Satterfield agreed to a new 5 year contract that keeps him at the top of the App State football program through 2020! Listen to this week's show as we'll tell you why we think...

Last year, it is safe to say, Georgia State clearly showed they didn't want to play on November 1st in Boone. This time will be a different story entirely. The Panthers are coming off a humiliating loss to FCS Liberty (ring a bell, anyone?) and they want blood. What better statement of revenge to make than taking down a conference rival that embarrassed them one year ago? Listen to this week&...

Are you dry yet? Homecoming weekend weather was less than welcoming. But at the end of the day, all that matters is a Mountaineer victory! While Wyoming showed promise for a successful future, the Mountaineers showed they’ve learned how to win – even when they aren’t playing their best. Listen to this week’s show as we breakdown the matchup between the Mountaineers and Cowboys at Kidd Brewer Stadi...

If you've been listening to the Black & Gold Podcast, you know that we didn't read too much into the defeat at Clemson. Our defense is strong and fast, our OL is tough and disciplined and Taylor Lamb got his ONE subpar game out of the way. In short, App State DOMINATED ODU - want the details? Listen to this week's show!

Enough of this "Bye Week" nonsense! It's Game Week again and the Mountaineers are headed to Old Dominion to face the Monarchs in a G5 battle. This week AJ and Big C preview the ODU game, read some emails and tweets from listeners and cover the rest of the Sun Belt from last week.

In case you haven’t heard, the Mountaineers went Tiger hunting down in South Carolina this past Saturday. To make a long story short, it didn’t go as well as we would’ve liked. But don't worry! App State showed many positive signs for the rest of the schedule! Listen to this week’s show and hear us breakdown the Clemson game and tell YOU why the future is still bright and why it’s a bad idea...
