I am a fan. Love the underdog giant killer. Plus like the local teams.
It was so cool last year when College Game Day went to Boone for ASU vs UNC. This Sat App will be featured on Game Day again...this time as the visiting team:
ESPN's College GameDay will be live from Harrisonburg, Virginia ahead of a massive Sun Belt matchup between James Madison (10-0, 6-0 Sun Belt) and Appalachian State (6-4, 4-2 Sun Belt).
Go Mountaineers!!!

Thanks for bringing this up, LP.
I have always been a champion of the underdog, and likely will remain so. My other area of 'intent' focuses on education. Because I spent quite a few years working in higher education, I tend to recognize "effort" when it shows up without claiming affiliation or support of any particular school. So, for that reason, I definitely support ASU and their program. HOWEVER.... I also want to recognize the 'other' institution here. James Madison University deserves accolades for their continued support of education. While you seldom hear anything about JMU in college athletics, they are a high-functioning and well-received educational university. They truly are one of our nation's bright spots in education.
So... this year, to see JMU go undefeated (so far..!!) is a real surprise. YES, I love the ASU 'Mountaineers'. But, the JMU 'Dukes' deserve support too.!! (Their season so far has been truly remarkable...). I wouldn't mind seeing ASU. win this game, but they're going to have a battle....
