The group discusses how App State evaluates and recruits, how to schedule as a team Power 5 schools shouldn’t really want to play, and how the program has entrenched itself after jumping from FCS. Plus, let’s talk about why an offensive line coach should probably be your offensive coordinator.

Alex and Richard are joined by Ced Funches to talk about the world of college football logo design. Yes, the press releases are banal and sometimes too bogged down in marketing speak, but there’s a lot more that goes into creating a program’s visual identity than simply picking a color that you like.

Ced also settles for good and all some of the most pressing color pallette debates surrounding Florida and Pitt.
