Did I hear that correctly ? App State’s 12 regular season wins, this year, represents the most wins of any FBS program in the state of NC… not only for this year, but over the history of the sport here in The Old North State. Wow….

Fellow Mountaineers! Dress 4 rain & cold. Rain may end prior to the kick, mist & drizzle for a bit. Winds will pick up and getting gusty; 30-40 MPH. Temps will drop into the mid to upper 30s by the end of the game. Don't be surprised to see some snow.

I want 1 good solid snowfall; no ice. I like when the flakes R big enough & snow deep enough, 2 absorb the sounds of the world & we have peace; wonderful, silent peace. Then, I want 2 hear the laughter & squeals of joy from kids & families playing in the snow. Then the snow goes!

angry fans, leave the coaches families out of the criticism. For some of you all, your inability to show grace & empathy towards families who have to deal with the brunt of your crap, your actions have impact. Been there, lived it. Show some class
I never do things with any sort of expectations of getting anything in return. It goes against how I was raised. Up in Boone yesterday, I was given this as a thanks for a number of contributions to the football program. Hard to express how deeply I APPreciate the gesture. 😬

Great weather for the game Thursday evening. Mid 50s for kickoff (7:30 PM), mid 40s by the end of the game, clear sky. If you've been on the fence about attending the game, this will so be worth the drive up the mountain!

Troubled to hear tonight that a friend & fellow Mountaineer is in ICU fighting for life against COVID. Wonderful woman, UNC grad, fan of my dad, but, found the love of all things APP STATE. She has has contributed to App State in immeasurable ways. Fight lady.. fight!
Well, ya know, Troy had us circled since last year. I ain’t mad about it. Tip of the hat to them. App has had a hell of a year, and we still have bowl game to go! I am, and will always be, a PROUD Mountaineer! I still love this team!!

Happy 90th to my dad, Coach Crum. This makes him the oldest living Crum of record to date. Coach still drives, better than most, and will be out bombing around NE Ohio later this morning.
I need to tactfully, and with deep respect handle this. It was not me. I’m fine. That’s all I’ll say. Please keep WBTV folks in your prayers and those families who lost father’s today. It was not me. 😪 this tragic news highlights the need to tell folks you love them each day.
Back in my App State days, I drove a diesel International 4W drive Scout. Thing was a tank. Heavy, U had to lock the hubs on each wheel to get the 4w drive to work. That beast chewed through ice & snow in the mountains. I never missed a night of work at Ski Hawksnest. I miss it!
Ain’t an ounce of quit in our team or coaches. Can’t say the same for a minority within the fan base. I know who I’d rather be in battle with…. The puzzle will get solved.
#GoAPP
Update on my dad (Coach to many), he got his test results back this AM regarding nodes around the removed "very early lung tumor".... and things are NEGATIVE! All surrounding nodes are clear! There will be follow ups, but, this is the news we all had been hoping to hear! WOO HOO!
Seattle is Boone in 3035…. All up. Lol man alive. Lady in my hotel elevator said to me, “My sister went to App State!” I had my hat on.

It's been a tough week. The region carries a profound sense of sadness. I haven't sensed this in my community in a long time. 😰 The death of the officers and for my App State Football family, the loss of one of our players last week. This will pass, but, for now, we feel it. 😰
Yeah, I ran 5 miles a day. Yes, I used to have a beard! It’s a pandemic... what the hell... A few snaps from App State days. Frightening... isn’t it... 😬. What the hell happened to that guy? Oh, life...
App State / Marshall weather looks grand. A cold morning will give way to mid 50s for the 6 PM kick, and mid to lower 40s by the end of the game. A clear sky expected with light winds.

When your partner of 25+ years is racially profiled by some white racist horses ass in Davidson today. The anger I have is through the roof. You'd better be thankful the Davidson police officer that responded understood the bullshit that was unfolding. He was working his eff'ing

Coach (dad) had his post lung cancer surgery 6 month check up TDY. It was all very good. The untold story is his partner Jan, had a similiar surgery back in mid December, with the same doc. Her post surgical was today as well & pathology was fully clear! Here's to a quiet 2024!
Meet Dr. John Crum! He successfully defended his research for his dissertation today at Rice University! A remarkable and gifted young man. Brilliant since the age of 4. He will be joining the history department faculty at Berea College in Kentucky later this month.
A tough day mentally with this having been my mom’s birthday. 6 years since her passing. I’m not looking 4 sympathy by sharing this. Rather, 2 those new 2 the loss of a parent, it’s OK to feel the loss. It takes a while to find your footing. I struggle with the depression still.

Typical Summer afternoon threat for some scattered showers and storms across the High Country Saturday. No reason not to go to the game. But, have a rain coat with you should something wander across KBS during the game. Based on modeling today, if we do
One’s world can turn on a dime. Ask my oldest nephew. Thankful the he is alive. Long road ahead for him. He will heal and recover. But, this was close. Folks, never assume tomorrow is guaranteed. Send some good juju towards John Crum please.
