Here is Thomas Sherrill’s recollection of how Appalachian State students celebrated in 2007 after upsetting Michigan, carrying the school’s goalpost around campus and eventually to then Chancellor Kenneth Peacock’s house. Students celebrating a college football win is part of what makes college football so great. Here is how Appalachian State alumni remember celebrating the biggest upset in college football history.

Episode 3 is about Michigan fighting back. The 5th-ranked Wolverines were a roster filled with future NFL talent like Chad Henne and Mario Manningham. Head coach Lloyd Carr wasn’t letting his team go down without a fight. As Appalachian State head coach Jerry Moore told Charissa Thompson on the sideline they were about to get “the best the Big Ten’s got. The way they would play against Ohio State… Notre Dame… Rose Bowl. That’s the way they’ll play the second half.” Despite starting the half down 11 and star running back Mike Hart getting banged up, Michigan was determined to not let a small school from the mountains of North Carolina embarrass them.
