2026 49er Football Week 3 - Game #3 @ App State - 9/19 6PM ESPN+

It’s not easy being a Niners fan and it is painful to get my hopes up too high but winning this game would be huge for this program

Yeah. Seems many other teams can pull off big upsets now and again. However, in the years we’ve had a team, upsets have been few and far between.

One of these Saturdays our Niners are gonna surprise us, make it today boys! And finally make this appy st. series a true rivalry

I’m going to be positive and say Charlotte upsets App State 34-31…we win the turnover battle and get a special teams TD!

Let’s go NINERS!

I have. Food was solid as expected. Generally same menu from what I recall. Went during lunchtime during the work week and it was a ghost town. They will need to do some advertising or something. Hope it succeeds.

On topic. Albin doesn’t have a chance for a signature win today, but he does have a chance at a statement win. Would really like to see us punch them in the mouth early and keep drilling them.

Get out of here with that mess.

App State has 90 years of football history. They pull 35,000-40,000 fans per game. They have the 17th best winning percentage in division 1 history, 3 FCS titles, 22 conference titles, 2 wins vs top 6 ranked teams in the last 20 years and they are 4-0 against us. While theyve been down the last few years (and they still beat us by 21 last year)…dont forget that after Boise State…they are right there with NDSU, Memphis and Navy as the biggest name in G6 football.

There are alot of things we should be doing better…but acting like we should be beating App State is dumb. East Carolina is miles and decades ahead of where we are and they are 0-4 vs App State this decade.

Let’s goooooooooo!!!

Is the weather not looking good?

Would love to see Alexander have a big game in his return and start and Barnes!!

How they did in fcs is irrelevant. Nil is the number 1 factor and by all accounts, we have way more than them. Kids don’t pick a school bc they were good in fcs. We lose to app bc our previous chancellor and ADs had 0 clue how to run football and hill screwed tim in year 1 with fundraising. Luckily, white came in and raised a bunch.

Currently inside the Practice facility. Things like it matter along with the NIL. Both bands seem to be enjoying themselves.

Any news on the weather delay?

Yeah. You guys at the game need to keep us updated. Please and thanks.

It’s raining and we almost got struck by lightning 30 minutes ago

Another lightening strike recently. Players will still have to warm up as well so best guess with no more delay 7:30 earliest.

Thanks. Keep us posted.

I just heard on the live feed (can’t say radio) that it’s most likely an 8:00 start…ugh…
