I believe the first college football game I saw in person was when I was in high school and Appalachian dedicated their football stadium and they were playing Elon (I believe, was a long time ago.) I believe both schools were in the old Carolinas Conference back then. Hey Catamount, how is that Football Discovery Board that was appointed doing. Have they made any changes in your football program yet? Western has had some great teams in the past...my sister and her husband graduated from there. Didn't Western play in the National Championship final back in the 80's?

Though that was a long time ago, before i was even a twinkle in my dads eye That game in '70 was the first game in NC played on artificial turf (Tartan) a Monsanto brand i believe. that might have been our last conference game w/ App in the old Carolinas conference. could have been the the next year We ended the series as App went Indy.
