BOONE, N.C. – Waking up in a hotel less than 25 miles from the ESPN set in Atlanta, Noah Hannon had a different perspective of "College GameDay."
In the bigger picture, the true freshman was finally part of the show.
Hannon started at center in his first college game last weekend, earning praise from coaches and teammates alike for how he handled himself in Appalachian State's 31-10 loss at No. 15 Georgia. The game was played in front of 92,746 fans in Sanford Stadium and a national television audience on ESPN, which airs its popular "GameDay" program each Saturday morning.
