20 Western Carolinian November 9,1995 Sports Cats Looking to End Streak The scenario of the past three seasons has changed but the emotions are still the same for the 60th renewal of the Western Carolina/Appalachian State football rivalry. The frustrated Catamounts and high flying Mountaineers will meet this Saturday in Boone with the Old Mountain Jug, the trophy for the rivalry, up for grabs. Kickoff time in ASU's Kidd Brewer Stadium will be 1:00 p.m. Unlike the last three meetings, WCU, now 3-5 overall and 2-4 in conference play, will not be playing for a possible Southern Conference championship or an NCAA I-AA playoff berth, but the Catamounts will have plenty of incentive when they take the field against their arch-rival. They could end WCU's 1 0-game losing streak in the series and bring the Old Mountain Jug to Cullowhee for the first time since 1984 and keep alive the chances of a non-losing which would tie a WCU streak of four consecutive seasons without a losing record. In addition, the Catamounts would like nothing better than to spoil App State's perfect season after the Mountaineers denied WCU a conference title and a probable trip to the playoffs in each of the past three seasons. ASU, 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the conference and ranked No. 2 in the NCRA I-AA poll, could sew up at least a tie for the league championship with a win Saturday and it would extend a school record win streak and hopes for a first-ever perfect season. The Mountaineers will complete their season Nov. 18 at The Citadel and, with wins over WCU and in Charleston, would host a first round game in the NCAA I-AA playoff. "This rivalry is more than a football game," says Steve Hodgin, WCU's head football coach. "It goes on the year 'round as so zany of the students and alumni from the schools knowing each other and the schools have mutual recruiting areas. Regardless of the records going into the game, it is always an important game for both schools," he explained. App State owns a decided advantage in the series, 42-16-1, but that big edge has rarely dulled the intensity of the rivalry. The last three games have been decided by Seniors Trade Elkins, William Crocker, Jim Rogers and Chad Greene look forward to App's first loss. Photo by: Terry A. Roberts a combined total of 11 points. In 1992, the Cats could have clinched a tie for the title with a win over ASU, but lost 14-12. The next year, they were knocked out of the championship race in the next to the last week of the season by the Mountaineers, 20-16. Last season, the teams were tied for first place with two games to play, but App State won again, 12-7. Western had an open date last Saturday after breaking a four-game losing streak with a 31 -17 win over VMI. "The win over VMI revived our spirits after dropping very low. The attitude of this team is positive going into the App State game," said Hodgin. "This is the best Appalachian State team I have had to prepare for as a head coach," stated Hodgin. "Defensively, they are the quickest team we have seen, including Clemson. Their offense is not flashy, but is as good as there is in the league because they block, execute and rarely hurt themselves with mistakes," he explained.

Courtesy ofWCUSports Information Cats Out to Reclaim the Jug Commentary by Jason Queen Associate Editor Okay, so maybe they do have the best rushing offense in the Southern Conference, averaging over 260 yards per game on the ground. And maybe they are piling up 30 points per game, which is second best in the conference. And yes, they do have the best rush defense and the third best pass defense in the league. Couple these things with the fact that Western is near the bottom of the barrel in all of these categories, and on paper you have a huge mismatch. Throw in the fact that the game is in Boone, the Mountaineers are ranked number two in the country with a perfect 9-0 record, and they can clinch a playoff berth with a win, and it seems to be a pointless two-hour drive just to get whipped. After all, the Cats are a very disappointing 2-4 in conference play. But, you can throw all of these things out the window Saturday at 1:00 in Kidd Brewer Stadium, because it's Western and Appalachian for The Old Mountain Jug. Head Coach Steve Hodgin said, "This rivalry is more than a football game. Regardless of the records going into the game, it is always an important game for both schools." Still, it is right there at the front of all of our minds: 10 straight losses. In 1984, the Cats rolled out of Boone with a 34-7 romp and the Jug. But it's been all App from there, as they have gotten seemingly every break imaginable and come out on top every year. They have owned the series as well, winning 42 of the 59 meetings since 1932. The key to the game is actually going to be enormously ironic. Freshman tailback Terence Stokes will get off the bus and walk into Kidd Brewer Stadium Saturday morning fairly unaware of the heated nature of this rivalry. He will not have the same bitter taste in his mouth that lingers in, say, senior cornerback Donnell Brinson's mouth. Brinson has played against App three straight times- three losses by a combined 11 points. Stokes will not feel the same pain that senior guard Scott Stinson will. Stinson was a part of those three losses-losses that kept the Cats out of the playoffs-as well. But if Stokes can run the ball as effectively as he did two weeks ago against VMI,Stokes and company can become the most hated people in Boone Saturday with the biggest win in, oh, let's say ten years. THE SERIES • ASU has won the last three meeting by a total of 11 points. • ASU leads the overall series, 42- 16-1, since the first meeting in 1932. • Since the schools began playing as fellow Southern Conference members in 1977, ASU leads 13-5. ASU joined the conference in 1971 and WCU followed six years later. • The schools have met on the gridiron continuously since the 1932 season with the exception of the World War II seasons of 1942-45. • ASU has won the last 10 meetings, the longest winning streak by either school in the series since the early years of the rivalry when the Mountaineers won the first 13 games played between 1932 and 1948. • WCU has lost five in a row at Kidd Brewer Stadium. •ASU has a winning record at each site the series has been played with a 22-8-0 record in Boone, 16-6:0 record in Cullowhee and 4-2-1 record in series games played in Asheville. • The series is the longest of each school's series with an opponent. • WCU's head coach Steve Hodgin is 0-5 vs. ASU as a head coach while the Mountaineer's head man Jerry Moore is 6-0 vs. WCU.Courtesy of WCU Sports Information Courtesy of WCU Sports Information
