App Can Now Go Bowling

The sounds from Huntington, West Virginia don't travel well up these hills, particularly with all the snow between there and here, but word reached us late Saturday night that App State are bowl eligible, having defeated Marshall 20-16 in a contest of the ages. It was the kind of event the gods of Mount Olympus would put on their big screen celestial television. And lo, of the great nebulae that stretched across our horizons, the gods made celestial guac. And it was good. Such was the joy and truth and bonhomie of the matter at hand — for both them and those of us connected to the game — and it was most definitely not a piece of hasty, somewhat confused mythmaking put together by a writer who noticed the score while doing the dishes and watched the game in a panic at 2X speed to write something up for a slowly growing reader base.

But who would get distracted by a thing like that?

App State won 20-16. At 6-4, they’re now looking for bowling shoes.
