Welcome to the Pod!What can we say that you don't already know? It doesn't matter what year, month, day, time, conference, coach, quarterback, running back or weather. When App State plays Georgia Southern in Boone - It's Black Saturday.But a new conference has given us opportunities for new traditions. This year the Mountaineers face the hated Georgia Southern Eagles on a Thursday night on national television.Is it what we would've chosen? No.Do we want to keep playing Georgia Southern, our biggest game of the year, on a weeknight? Most likely not.But make no mistake, the date of when this game is played does not marginalize its importance. Whether it's Sunday morning, Wednesday brunch or a clear crisp Saturday afternoon in October, when the Black & Gold face off against the ugly navy and white, it's a huge deal.This week's preview is something you don't want to miss. We'll talk about our history with Georgia Southern, some of the rivalry's biggest moments, why our schools have a hateful, yet respectful relationship and most importantly, Big C will tell you what he expects from this game. Oh! And we'll read your Georgia Southern insults!Get ready, Mountaineers, Black Thursday's coming... and it doesn't show mercy.
