Pdog !
I always pull for App except when they ask us to add them to our schedule. Then I say I have a long memory about opponents who go for ties preventing us from going to a bowl and them going to their little playoffs. I think in about 15 years, my 50 year grudge over that may be relieved...
(That said, I did enjoy my visit there a few years ago. A little too close for comfort, hence why we shouldn't play them!)
Bjorn Nittmo hit a late short field goal for App State to tie up the game 34-34 in W-S in 1988. Bowl reps were at the game to invite Wake but slinked out after the tie.
As I recall, it was after a late TD. They chose to go for the kicked extra point to tie, rather than a 2 to win, or lose.
They 'knew' a tie would keep us out of a bowl offer. No overtime back then.
This correct.
And there weren’t many bowls back then. It was Mike Elkins’ senior year. We rarely made a bowl at that time. It sucked. I’ll never forgive Sparky Woods.
