Congratulations, Appalachian! You Were Brilliant Saturday

In 2007, in one of the great upsets in college football history, Appalachian State went into the Big House at Michigan and beat the Wolverines 34-32, blocking a final field goal as time expired.

It was beyond thrilling. It was, or should have been, impossible.

App State has long since established itself as a potent football program, something that UNC perhaps overlooked when the Mountaineers nearly got them last weekend, losing a wild one 63-61.

This Saturday made up for that.

Appalachian went into College Station, Texas, and knocked off the #6 Texas A&M Aggies to provide a bookend for the stunner in Ann Arbor.
