Just as the former Voice of the Mountaineers and current Boone Chamber President David Jackson tweeted after App State’s bowl victory last weekend, the Mountaineers players and coaches have accomplished “so much … in a short time” as members of the FBS.
Even App State head coach Scott Satterfield said as much following Saturday’s bowl victory:
“Our fifth-year guys won the Southern Conference five years ago and now they’re Sun Belt champions and two-time Camellia Bowl champions. What they’ve been able to do, they transitioned us. Maybe the most successful team in the history of a transition to FBS with what we’ve been able to do the last two years.
