Dave Campbell it was put together very well, I love these type of videos. It feels like a time machine, which is great because I was too young to know what was going on at the time.
ŚparrowYT damn. I was 17 lol. Yo, the 2007 college football season was the craziest and best season ever no question there were upsets every week, the whole season was compelling from Boise state going undefeated beating Oklahoma, my Louisville cardinals barely missing out on a chance to go to the national championship game. Rutgers best is off a field goal. And the first game Kentucky hurt our best player for the year and we still had an amazing year. Man that season was WILD
I just noticed how App State opened the season defeating Michigan and ended the season winning the FCS Championship against Delaware. Both Michigan and Delaware have identical styled helmets
Deleware had that design first. It came from dyeing the pieces of the old leather helmets contrasting colors. Michigan actually copied the scheme from the Ducks YEARS ago...
I'm a Marshall fan and an alum. The best rivalry we had in the Southern Conference was Appalachian State. Whether in Boone or in Huntington they were the toughest and classiest opponent we would face each season. I was thrilled when they beat Michigan. Now we're back together in the Sun Belt and App State is circled on the calendar again. Good times!
I’m not from Boone but live in NC and a Tarheels fan I’ve always liked APPs football program and tbh the Sun Belt is a solid conference I’ve always wanted to see Marshall have a resurgence like back to when they had Pennington and Moss
I gotta say this is probably the best video chronicling the game I've seen on UA-cam, and I've seen a lot. The way you went into such detail to establish the context leading into the game, and then spent an almost equal amount of time detailing the fallout for Michigan and how the loss led to a downward spiral and a carousel of coaches and whatnot - excellent job.
Big buckeye fan here. I work with a lot of Michigan fans, they all just hate the Buckeyes. That's it, no logical reason for being a Michigan fan. So their hearts aren't it. I'm buying an App State t-shirt today just hit them where it hurts. Go App State!!!!

I went to Appalachian State and Herbstreit pissed me off twice that day. 1. Bashing 1-AA schools and 2. LEARN HOW TO PRONOUNCE APPALACHIAN CORRECTLY!! That really makes ASU fans and alumni mad when you mispronounce it. I've seen guests invited to speak during halftime at games say it incorrectly and boy do they get booed big time.
@@ragingbull154 Herbstreit is an idiot. He always trashes the SEC as "not fast enough" and calls the Big 10 and Pac 12 "the dominant conferences" in the playoffs and in the BCS era- despite the SEC dominating the BCS (a full HALF and a near decade-long run on top) and how many Playoff titles?! He REALLY needs to learn to be impartial, respectfully objective or shut the hell up.
@@launchbase4944 He wasnt wrong! But some people feel entitled to being offended about something everyday! but what can we do, besides let them cry it out?
Well they had been to the rose bowl and in the big ten title run for the past couple of years before 2007. They were ranked No.2 going in to the game in Ohio State.
“Biggest upset in College Football history” was Centre College vs Harvard in 1921 when Centre won at Harvard Stadium 6-0 in front of a capacity crowd of 43,000. The game is significant because it was the FIRST TIME a team outside the East beat one of the Big Three of Harvard, Princeton and Yale. However, like App St, this was no fluke. The previous season Centre was 8-2, losing at Harvard and at GA Tech, but beat TCU 63-7 in the Fort Worth Classic bowl game, and Centre was undefeated the year before that. In 1921 Centre outscored their opponents 282-6 in the regular season and was un-scored upon in 9 games which included AUB, CLEM, Kentucky, Tulane and AZ (all but AZ were in the Southern Conf). Of note in 1920 Center beat Howard (AL) 120-0 and blanked 7 total opponents that year and held most opponents scoreless over a 6 year period from 1917 to 1922. In 1919 undefeated Centre held 5 teams scoreless and outscored their opponents 485-23 while beating WVA, IND, KY and VA among others.
1-AA (FCS today) had been catchingup to 1-A for a while before that time playing very tight games. Today it's actually not uncommon to see the top FCS schools beat FBS schools even occasionally ranked ones. UNI, NDSU, etc... It's also good to see App State make it in FBS as a really good Sun Belt team, same for Georgia Southern. That rivalry continues.
@Arrowhead Water yup 07. At one point we were ranked number 2 and that Saturday number 1 LSU lost to unranked Kentucky. All we had to do was beat unranked Oregon State and we'd of been number 1. But we lost... and apparently it killed all moral and we finished the season 6-6. I only remember so vividly cuz I was at that game. But anyways, hope you guys come up too, in fact I'm down for any pac12 team to come up at this point. We need a spot in that "playoff" yo.
I went to Appalachian State in the early 90's. Jerry Moore had just started building the program to what it is today. Two coaching changes since and still winning. If you've never been to Boone for a game it really is worth the trip. Go Mountaineers!!!!!!!
@@joeraguso5376 not if costal Carolina has anything to say about it. I would say Louisiana as well but without Napier I don't know if they can continue their success. Ccu has dinner pretty well in their short time as an fbs school
I feel like this moment, this singularity, was one that the entire Division I-AA could celebrate as one, whether they didn't play Appalachian State all year or were a conference rival. This team just represented their level and singlehandedly raised their profile tenfold in front of the whole country. I'm glad we're starting to see more FCS teams get some wins on FBS teams now. The gap's closing, makes the sport more fun.
This date represented the culmination of a 10 day nightmare for me as a sports fan. Besides being a Michigan fan I was also a Baltimore Orioles fan. Ten days before this happened on August 22, 2007 the Orioles began a 9 game losing streak when the Texas Rangers set the modern day record for runs in a game when they stomped the Orioles 30-6. The 9 game losing streak ended on Friday August 31 when they beat the Red Sox in Fenway. The next day September 1 2007 my Wolverines didnt just lay an egg but dropped it and it cracked. I thought to my self.......after a 10 day period like this it can't get any worse........well it did. You see......after the Appalachian State loss later on that same evening the Orioles were playing the Red Sox again after beating them the night before to end their losing streak.......well that night the Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz pitched a no hitter vs the Orioles 10-0........nice way to end a Saturday after your college football team become the victim in the biggest upset in sports history since the US hockey team Miracle on Ice vs the Soviet Union in 1980. Oh yeah......as a bonus footnote......although their season hadn't started yet I was also a Washington Redskins fan......nice huh? 😦
I was at App State from 88'-92'. I wrestled, and lived in Justice Hall (athletic dorm) along with all the football players. Jerry had just started building up the football team, but was really struggling while I was there. I lost my mind in 2007. I was watching the game on t.v. , but had to leave and go somewhere before it ended. I was driving when they blocked the field goal, and was very lucky I didn't wreck my car. One of the best memories of my life.
I lived in Justice Hall in the 91-92 year. Actually with the RA on the floor with the football team (4th floor.) Got to know a lot of those guys. Few of them went pro back then. I guess our star that year was Linebacker Rico Mack.
My uncle played quarterback for App St back in the 70s. He was at THE GAME in the Big House with a tiny contingent of App faithful. Too long to post but it has become the “everyone gather round” story every time I see him. And it never gets old….go ‘Neers. ❤
This was the ONLY football game my daughter attended while at Michigan. Her friends asked her if she knew anything about Appalachian State (since she's from NC) and she told them she thought they were pretty good but were in a minor conference, but she'd like to go to the game since it was a team she'd heard of !
@@ScallywagBeowulf She was just never a big football fan. She did get Ohio State tickets every time they played in the Big House, but only so she could sell them!
@@ScallywagBeowulf Yeah, honestly was surprised to see this response pop up after 2 years but was glad to clear it up for you. I only regret that she never got me any tickets !
LMAO! Thats a funny story! That sounds like my mother when it came to sports! She couldnt care less! But she could tell you everything going on in "days of our lives" & "all my children"!
Nobody understood how good App State was. As a guy who roots for another FCS school (James Madison, which itself has two national championships), I knew. They dominated FCS for years in the 2000s almost as much as North Dakota State does now. Those guys could ball.
I am a Michigan fan that grew up in VA and followed all of the FCS programs (all my friends and family either went to JMU or ODU). I warned my family a few days before the game that this was a trap and should've never been scheduled. I remember everyone saying this is a 1AA school...this is a cupcake. I was like...dude you don't understand...these guys just won back to back natties.
@@drewsmith4452 And now we'll get to play them in the Fun Belt. Can't wait. I'm happy JMU finally is pulling the trigger and moving up to FBS. It may be a rough time, but the SBC is one hell of a good conference with a lot of natural geographic rivals for us.
I got introduced to them when they lit up SIU in the playoffs one year and said they were for real!Coincidentally enough, NDSU was a power at the same time as App State, but was ineligible for the playoffs because they were transitioning from D2.
One of my closest friends was a freshman at App State in fall of 2007 and I remember him calling me that day with people cheering and chanting in the background from the campus. Watching these highlights always make me smile because this will forever be one of the greatest upsets in sports history! Great video!
I was a freshman there at the time and we took down the goalpost, threw it in duck pond, then carried it all the way through downtown and up the mountain to the Chancellors house. Epic weekend.
@@Jackplexico I was there too! Also freshman in 07. That was the craziest shit next to Obama getting elected and Osama getting killed lol. I thought when we beat Michigan the town was gonna explode. I remember for days after there were traffic cones and clothes in every tree on campus
I just did a quick scan of the 2007 App State roster- no fewer than 5 played in the NFL is some capacity. It was an upset but we had some talent on this team. App State '86.
16 years later, on the same day, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern would both get major victories against Power 5 schools as a Sun Belt member. Weird how that turned out
It’s funny how nobody mentions the time management by App State. Not running the clock down and kicking the FG on 1st down with 30 seconds left ended up resulting in the greatest upset moment in college football history.
Love the ending as it is, but had Michigan made the kick, not kneeing it, spiking it and then kicking it with :02 on the clock by ASU would have gone down as the most bone headed time mismanagement ever.
I'm the same way as a WVU fan when we lost to Pitt in 2007. I watched it on TV and was one of my first football experiences and had fucking zero idea why everyone was upset.
Though I respect Michigan, their and other big name schools entitlement attitude was the reason why I enjoyed their defeat. And the commentators were eating crow but were focused on the loss.
This may be my favorite video Ive ever watched. Put together so well. Im a huge App St fan but this video truly puts the whole story together so well. Well done.
@@Daniel-xp4yg they just got whooped by Wisconsin and barely survived unranked Army. The only way this season can be salvaged is by beating Ohio State (miracle #1) AND winning a so so bowl game (miracle #2).
@@Daniel-xp4yg 1-6 vs ranked opponents, 1-7 vs OSU and MSU combined (that one win being against a 3-9 MSU team), 1-3 in bowl games. That's very much underachieving by Michigan standards regardless of his overall win-loss record. Oddly enough, he's still the best they've had since this game happened.
I remember this game, and exactly where I was when it happened. I was standing in Beaver Stadium after a Penn State game....it felt like no one had left. Everyone was crowded around the TV's, much like this video showed. Surreal moment.
@@MarloSoBalJr Hawai'i peaked at #10; USF made it to #2 before falling victim to the #2 curse that year. The #1 spot was owned by USC, LSU, and Ohio State (except for week 13 when Missouri butted in). #2 was where all the movement was; LSU, USC, Cal, USF, Boston College, Oregon, Kansas, WVU and Georgia all made appearances at #2.
To get context of what this means for those that don’t get it. This upset is akin to a minor league baseball team beating the Yankees after just missing the world series the year before.Or Alabama beating the Chiefs with all their starters in.
I was lucky enough to go to App State from 2004-2008. I was at all 3 national title games, sat with 5 buddies on the 10th row on the 35 yard line behind Michigans bench in the big house, and watched us play LSU with a hurricane on the way right after Katrina the year before. It was amazing to watch this team. It will always be a great day to be a Mountaineer!!!!!!
The Michigan football program had been ignoring the termites eating away at the porch for a while and this was the weight that collapsed it. Complacency and arrogance within the athletic department was laid bare here and then over the course of the catastrophic RichRod era.
There were so many different emotions in this video. Going from rooting Appalachian state and hoping Michigan looses to then feeling bad for the Michigan coach and hoping he goes out with a win. Great editing!
That song is from a promotional video that was made by the University sometime around 2006 but was quickly canned. Despite that, it lived on because of the internet. Supposedly no one at the University ever took responsibility for its creation. Plenty of examples here on UA-cam highlighting its infamy, just search "Appalachian Hot Hot Hot"
That day was OSU Alumni Band Game in Columbus, and my dad is an alumnus of the band so we were in that Columbus crowd watching on one of the stadium TVs after the Buckeyes' game. It is still one of my favorite sports memories!
With that being said, programs like App St/Boise St are why I would like to see an 8 team playoff with a place for the little guy to be able to sneak in. If App could get themselves into the AAC they would have a shot, but I dont see a Sun Belt team ever being able to get put into the playoff. Unless they end up playing UNC/S. Carolina Non Con or some other similar Power 5 school. But with Covid who know what the heck will happen with re-alignment, it might speed things up creating 4 mega conferences
I graduated the year before. I was in Charlotte with my now wife. They didn't have the big 10 network (no one did really at the time) so like many we were reduced to watching the bottom ticker and in game updates. When I saw the 34-32 go final I flipped...didn't know how it happened, but I flipped. When they showed the highlights and HOW we won, that was a special moment.
@@Beardsandbars add Texas A&M to the kill list. Watching the live cam on King St from my house in Nevada and wishing more than anything that I was in Boone tonight.
Great video! Very well put together. I do wish that App St could have had a few clips at the end that show them moving up to the FBS level, joining the Sun Belt, making it to a bowl game and getting their first bowl win. They've really come along, and so has the Sun Belt Conference. Conference-USA used to be a stronger conference but then the Sun Belt went and ate their lunch. The whole Sun Belt thing probably deserves a separate video of its own, but it would have been nice to see App St move up at the end there.
@@wjatube That game was nuts. Oregon handed Michigan their worst loss since 1968!! It got forgotten because of that App State game, and rightfully so I’d say.
One thing in the lead up I would've included was the Michigan vs Ball State game where they nearly blew a 31-12 lead, stopping them on 4th down to prevail 34-26. Appalachian State watched a lot of game film on the game to figure out how to beat Michigan as an underdog. That really paid off as we got one of the greatest upsets in history.
You wonder if App St still moves up to FBS level if they didn't win this game. I know it took a few years before the jump up, but that win still gets attention today. They won two straight D-1AA titles before the upset, but everyone treated them like a dead skunk on the side of the road compared to Michigan. The win was truly an Earth-shattering moment for both programs.
I’m pretty sure Jerry Moore had his team preparing for this game in March. I think he knew his team could have a legitimate chance since they were for sure going to be over looked
Love that video showed State College, Ohio State, and others watch from the stadiums. I was at that Buckeyebgame waiting for kickoff and it was like the while college football world stopped. I think the Buckeye game started a few mins late due to everyone stopping what they wher doing to watch Xichigan get embarrassed!!!
Which is why when one of you fucksticks asks me "are you rooting for ohio state in the bowl game? You should root for fellow big ten schools" my answer is "fuuuuuuuuck no". I'll root for Alabama and Nick Satan before I'll ever root for Ohio State, Michigan State, or Penn State.
@@slimj091 Yeah. You should. If you're dumb enough to be a Xichigan fan you should never root for the Bucks/Sparty/State. Just like when the B10 was undefeated in bowl games and Xichigan was the one team to Fukk up the streak. Even though it made the B10 look worse, I still enjoyed greatly watch you dumpster fire of a team drag the rest of us down with you. There should be a vote and somehow the B10 should make a special division with MU/Rutgers/Illinois/Maryland/Northwestern/Purdue. Maybe then you could crack 2nd in your division....😁😁😁
This is the first game that really got me hooked on FCS football. Realized that EWU played these guys pretty close in the playoffs that year and thought, why does no one ever talk about this little school down the road? So much fun to study these little schools and see the look on people's faces when they realize how damn good some of the top tier FCS teams really are.
I mortgaged the house on App state...I now own a couple countries....(actually vegas did not offer a betting line for this game, because they felt it was a mismatch).....
I know. I tried to bet as much as I could on that one. No one would take it that had real money to put up. One person said he would, but my boy out in Cali - who was the intermediary - backed out on me. Damn. Could have made a fortune that day.
Michigan vs Ohio State is no longer a "rivalry." It is absolute dominance by Ohio State. It has been for about two decades. What is even worse is the way University of Michigan Football games DO NOT "sell out," and yet the sports announcers claim "The Big House has sold out." Even the Wall Street Journal pointed out there were games in 2017 where only 80,000 tickets were scanned, yet the announcers on TV falsely "claimed" the game sold over 100,000 tickets. You could VISIBLY see HUGE sections of empty sections in the stadium. It even was like that against Rutgers in 2019 after Michigan was blown out by Wisconsin.
this dude got me hyped up for a game that was played almost 15 years ago LMAO remember seeing this on tv when i was a wee lad, it was such a crazy year for college ball doubt it will ever be replicated
Big C that’s not even a big upset. Army and navy are both pretty much irrelevant in college football, aside from that rivalry game. They both suck, while here, you have (at the time) one of the best teams in the country loosing against a pretty horrible, unheard of, and not a big division 1 school. This game is leagues better than any puny army navy game.
@@nickduncan8376 Pretty horrible? App State was in the middle of a 3-peat as FCS champions when they beat Michigan. It wasn't like Michigan was playing a bad FCS team. App State would've taken down a lot of FBS teams that year. That was how good they were.
When the nearest person is 10 yards away and the RB is pulling away from them only way it wouldn’t be is if the got people penalty. So not that bold haha.
16:20 weird how they got down to the 5 and then decided to kick a field goal right away even though they had 30 seconds on the clock still. Obviously it worked out but considering Michigan was able to get into field goal range after...that's some pretty bad coaching
Yeah, they could have tried for the TD to make Michigan have to get a TD or at least run the clock all the way down for the attempt. Didn't matter in the end though
If you try to run the clock down and then spike it. You automatically lose the game if any of your o-line flinch before the snap or an illegal formation because of the 10-second runoff rule. not worth the risk.
Jerry Moore said after the game they did it to guard against a bad snap. If something goes wrong and you have to fall on a fumbled snap, you still have just enough time to get off a second try.
You left out 2 big things. 1) How the rest of the FBS was impacted due to this. 2)How this game happens in the shadow of Boise State beating Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl!!!!!
Those that know much about Boise St. knew that Boise St. was really good. Through the years they have been one of the most under rated teams around. I have rooted against them many times, but I have to admit that they have almost always had really good teams in recent years.
I honestly think this game had a big impact on the FCS as well. ASU showed that it wasn't just going to be FCS programs scratching out rare fluke wins over conference bottom-feeders like Kansas or Vandy. The gap was closing. And it kept closing. Then NDSU showed up and slapped Minnesota, Iowa State, and Iowa in the span of a few years. JMU beat VT in 2010. And now, FCS upsets over FBS teams aren't *that* uncommon anymore. But this is the granddaddy of them all. And on top of everything else, App State has shown that it's possible for a good FCS team to walk into a Group of 5 conference and not be a doormat. They are the standard for teams like my JMU Dukes that are moving up from FCS to FBS this year...in the Sun Belt with App State, Marshall, Georgia Southern, lots of former FCS/I-AA rivals. They showed how to do it.
Thanks for giving Lloyd Carr his props. Not a Michigan fan but Mr Carr was classy and HIGHLY successful. A great coach. College football is massively competitive with loads of unrealistic expectations and coach Lloyd knew that. Finally we can look at him objectively. Wouldn't complain about their team, in Annarbor, having a position and status, like they did then, now would they?
Carr was a great guy but Michigan messed up by rushing their intentions of hiring Les Miles. His wife already picked out a house in Ann Arbor. They should've waited until after LSU's title game. Everything went public and Les had to back-out. If not, he certainly would've done a better job than RR and Hoke.
Interesting to note that they began & ended their '07 season w/ a win over a team with the same helmet design. Different mascot names, but still. :) Crazy, crazy season in '07.
I’m very late to this video but I didn’t see it referenced in the video but that game was seen on tv by almost no one. App State vs That Team Up North was the first game to air on the big ten network but it wasn’t carried by most of the cable providers and was blacked out in most markets nationwide.
I was at this game and sat in the Michigan section and was passing tremendous gas due to an intestinal problem. The people around me were pissed and I told them I could not control the gas and I knew it was very powerful but they finally left but I did not care and don’t feel bad about it to be honest.
Before that, they were the announcing team when Boise State upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. After this, I'll bet any coach of a ranked FBS team would get nervous if those two announced a game where his team was favored.
Funny how Herbstreit was nowhere to be found with a reaction that day after talking all that shit about them and FCS as a whole before the game. I hope someone sent him some App State gear!
There is a reason the story of David & Goliath is in The Good Book (The Bible), as this game is living proof, even in today’s times, that events like the outcome in this EPIC Upset are not just for scripture. 🍻✊🏻🔥👍🏻🍻
I don't care how good I think my team is. If I'm in Div 1, I'm not putting the 2-time defending Div 1-AA champs on my schedule. That tells me that the program is good enough to play on our level. It's a trap game if I ever saw one.

“Biggest upset in College Football history” was Centre College vs Harvard in 1921 when Centre won at Harvard Stadium 6-0 in front of a capacity crowd of 43,000. The game is significant because it was the FIRST TIME a team outside the East beat one of the Big Three of Harvard, Princeton and Yale. However, like App St, this was no fluke. The previous season Centre was 8-2, losing at Harvard and at GA Tech, but beat TCU 63-7 in the Fort Worth Classic bowl game, and Centre was undefeated the year before that. In 1921 Centre outscored their opponents 282-6 in the regular season and was un-scored upon in 9 games which included AUB, CLEM, Kentucky, Tulane and AZ (all but AZ were in the Southern Conf). Of note in 1920 Center beat Howard (AL) 120-0 and blanked 7 total opponents that year and held most opponents scoreless over a 6 year period from 1917 to 1922. In 1919 undefeated Centre held 5 teams scoreless and outscored their opponents 485-23 while beating WVA, IND, KY and VA among others.
This is why you play the game and don’t listen to speculation.
Delaware's quarterback in that 2007 National Championship game was a fella named Joe Flacco.
Never heard of him
Elite!
Yeah, and get this, this Joe Flacco was known for throwing the ball 80 yards with ease and not just throwing 2 yard passes to his TEs.
Shit, gene Hackman knew of him lol
Even Michigan was playing with the Kansas City god of Chad Henne
1-AA (FCS today) had been catchingup to 1-A for a while before that time playing very tight games. Today it's actually not uncommon to see the top FCS schools beat FBS schools even occasionally ranked ones. UNI, NDSU, etc...
It's also good to see App State make it in FBS as a really good Sun Belt team, same for Georgia Southern. That rivalry continues.
Roll neers baby!!
They are beating bad FBS programs.
@@tonycrabtree3416Yeah like #6 Texas AM ..
"Big time games like cal and Tennessee" wow.... you dont hear that much these days
As a Cal fan it's crazy to think back to the mid to late 00's when we were able to crack the top 5 regularly and compete for pac 10 titles.
upside93 Aaron Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch. You guys had some talent run through back then
@Arrowhead Water yup 07. At one point we were ranked number 2 and that Saturday number 1 LSU lost to unranked Kentucky. All we had to do was beat unranked Oregon State and we'd of been number 1. But we lost... and apparently it killed all moral and we finished the season 6-6. I only remember so vividly cuz I was at that game. But anyways, hope you guys come up too, in fact I'm down for any pac12 team to come up at this point. We need a spot in that "playoff" yo.
As a vols fan, I can’t say that Tennessee has been in a sentence since then either
Arrowhead Water thanks! A bunch of my friends are on the team and I go there as well. We were doin gr8 till we lost our qb :(
I went to Appalachian State in the early 90's. Jerry Moore had just started building the program to what it is today. Two coaching changes since and still winning. If you've never been to Boone for a game it really is worth the trip. Go Mountaineers!!!!!!!
To one Mountaineer team to another (WVU), Let's Go Mountaineers! Hope y'all have a great season this year!!!
Don't forget a side trip to Dan'l Boone Inn for a kickass meal.
@@badasshiker9637 Went to Daniel Boone Inn about two months ago. I still fill full. Lol
Why did Appalachian State fire Jerry Moore?!?
I did notice that Aop State rehired him.
@@mikewrasman5103 He retired!
It’s funny that App State and Northern Iowa are both bigger now.
Same with Georgia Southern. Them and Appalachian State are probably the class of the Sun Belt Conference.
@@joeraguso5376 not if costal Carolina has anything to say about it. I would say Louisiana as well but without Napier I don't know if they can continue their success. Ccu has dinner pretty well in their short time as an fbs school
@@joeraguso5376 Deeper Than Hate is alive and well.
As a Delaware fan, it was just an honor to be able to even make the championship that year.
Is Flacco your QB in that years?
i am a delaware fan as well and it was an honor to make the Shampionship that year
I feel like this moment, this singularity, was one that the entire Division I-AA could celebrate as one, whether they didn't play Appalachian State all year or were a conference rival. This team just represented their level and singlehandedly raised their profile tenfold in front of the whole country.
I'm glad we're starting to see more FCS teams get some wins on FBS teams now. The gap's closing, makes the sport more fun.
Just no respect at all. They refused to learn how to pronounce our name. Refused to see us as serious.
This date represented the culmination of a 10 day nightmare for me as a sports fan. Besides being a Michigan fan I was also a Baltimore Orioles fan. Ten days before this happened on August 22, 2007 the Orioles began a 9 game losing streak when the Texas Rangers set the modern day record for runs in a game when they stomped the Orioles
30-6. The 9 game losing streak ended on Friday August 31 when they beat the Red Sox in Fenway. The next day September 1 2007 my Wolverines didnt just lay an egg but dropped it and it cracked.
I thought to my self.......after a 10 day period like this it can't get any worse........well it did. You see......after the Appalachian State loss later on that same evening the Orioles were playing the Red Sox again after beating them the night before to end their losing streak.......well that night the Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz pitched a no hitter vs the Orioles 10-0........nice way to end a Saturday after your college football team become the victim in the biggest upset in sports history since the US hockey team Miracle on Ice vs the Soviet Union in 1980.
Oh yeah......as a bonus footnote......although their season hadn't started yet I was also a Washington Redskins fan......nice huh? 😦
And you lost the Redskins name.
Poor soul
I was at App State from 88'-92'. I wrestled, and lived in Justice Hall (athletic dorm) along with all the football players. Jerry had just started building up the football team, but was really struggling while I was there. I lost my mind in 2007. I was watching the game on t.v. , but had to leave and go somewhere before it ended. I was driving when they blocked the field goal, and was very lucky I didn't wreck my car. One of the best memories of my life.
'88-'92*
Learn English.
I lived in Justice Hall in the 91-92 year. Actually with the RA on the floor with the football team (4th floor.) Got to know a lot of those guys. Few of them went pro back then. I guess our star that year was Linebacker Rico Mack.
My uncle played quarterback for App St back in the 70s. He was at THE GAME in the Big House with a tiny contingent of App faithful. Too long to post but it has become the “everyone gather round” story every time I see him. And it never gets old….go ‘Neers. ❤
This was the ONLY football game my daughter attended while at Michigan. Her friends asked her if she knew anything about Appalachian State (since she's from NC) and she told them she thought they were pretty good but were in a minor conference, but she'd like to go to the game since it was a team she'd heard of !
Why did she only attend one game at Michigan? Just never able to get a ticket?
@@ScallywagBeowulf She was just never a big football fan. She did get Ohio State tickets every time they played in the Big House, but only so she could sell them!
@@luisvelasco316 Ah, I gotcha, that makes sense. Appreciate the response after it being here two years.
@@ScallywagBeowulf Yeah, honestly was surprised to see this response pop up after 2 years but was glad to clear it up for you. I only regret that she never got me any tickets !
LMAO! Thats a funny story! That sounds like my mother when it came to sports! She couldnt care less! But she could tell you everything going on in "days of our lives" & "all my children"!
Cupcakes made of granite. They made the mistake of having their tune-up game be against a team that probably could have beaten most FBS teams.
Nobody understood how good App State was. As a guy who roots for another FCS school (James Madison, which itself has two national championships), I knew. They dominated FCS for years in the 2000s almost as much as North Dakota State does now. Those guys could ball.
I am a Michigan fan that grew up in VA and followed all of the FCS programs (all my friends and family either went to JMU or ODU). I warned my family a few days before the game that this was a trap and should've never been scheduled. I remember everyone saying this is a 1AA school...this is a cupcake. I was like...dude you don't understand...these guys just won back to back natties.
Look how good they've been in the FBS too. Great program.
@@drewsmith4452 And now we'll get to play them in the Fun Belt. Can't wait. I'm happy JMU finally is pulling the trigger and moving up to FBS. It may be a rough time, but the SBC is one hell of a good conference with a lot of natural geographic rivals for us.
I got introduced to them when they lit up SIU in the playoffs one year and said they were for real!Coincidentally enough, NDSU was a power at the same time as App State, but was ineligible for the playoffs because they were transitioning from D2.
They were a small program in a state with big programs.
One of my closest friends was a freshman at App State in fall of 2007 and I remember him calling me that day with people cheering and chanting in the background from the campus. Watching these highlights always make me smile because this will forever be one of the greatest upsets in sports history! Great video!
I was a freshman there at the time and we took down the goalpost, threw it in duck pond, then carried it all the way through downtown and up the mountain to the Chancellors house. Epic weekend.
I was actually watching the game in Legends bar where the footage is shown at around 17:07
@@Jackplexico I was there too! Also freshman in 07. That was the craziest shit next to Obama getting elected and Osama getting killed lol. I thought when we beat Michigan the town was gonna explode. I remember for days after there were traffic cones and clothes in every tree on campus
Hey! I was a freshman that year too’ GO APPS
@@smurfyx was a good time . Freshman in ‘07 myself
I just did a quick scan of the 2007 App State roster- no fewer than 5 played in the NFL is some capacity. It was an upset but we had some talent on this team. App State '86.
16 years later, on the same day, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern would both get major victories against Power 5 schools as a Sun Belt member. Weird how that turned out
It’s funny how nobody mentions the time management by App State. Not running the clock down and kicking the FG on 1st down with 30 seconds left ended up resulting in the greatest upset moment in college football history.
Love the ending as it is, but had Michigan made the kick, not kneeing it, spiking it and then kicking it with :02 on the clock by ASU would have gone down as the most bone headed time mismanagement ever.
This was my first college football game. I didn’t understand what it meant.
I feel for you
I'm the same way as a WVU fan when we lost to Pitt in 2007. I watched it on TV and was one of my first football experiences and had fucking zero idea why everyone was upset.
2012 BCS Championship was my first. My first game was the damn Alabama empire.
TEAM CLASSIC SONIC I’m crying 😭
@@xdgaming70 you're lucky lol
Anybody else notice that at 6:57 Michigan is in red/white font while Ohio State is in white/blue font? I'm sure that won't piss off any fans lol.
Yes
I admit I keep coming back to this primarily to rewatch the montage of the final blocked field goal and the reactions. That was masterfully edited.
I always loved signing Armanti Edwards as a free agent in Madden 11, this upset is the reason why I do it
Grew up a Michigan fan. I still get chills watching that. Go Mountaineers!!!
Though I respect Michigan, their and other big name schools entitlement attitude was the reason why I enjoyed their defeat. And the commentators were eating crow but were focused on the loss.
I have no respect for Michigan after playing Iowa for the big 10 in 2021. go undefeated and play a cream puff.

*the rest of the world
I remember this game, and exactly where I was when it happened. I was standing in Beaver Stadium after a Penn State game....it felt like no one had left. Everyone was crowded around the TV's, much like this video showed. Surreal moment.
What a time to be alive, the 2007 college football season was like no other.
Like watching a typhoon hit a coast. Nothing made sense. I think Hawai'i or USF were a #1 at some point?
@@MarloSoBalJr Hawai'i peaked at #10; USF made it to #2 before falling victim to the #2 curse that year. The #1 spot was owned by USC, LSU, and Ohio State (except for week 13 when Missouri butted in). #2 was where all the movement was; LSU, USC, Cal, USF, Boston College, Oregon, Kansas, WVU and Georgia all made appearances at #2.
To get context of what this means for those that don’t get it. This upset is akin to a minor league baseball team beating the Yankees after just missing the world series the year before.Or Alabama beating the Chiefs with all their starters in.
What’s crazy is that Michigan still went on to beat Tom Tebow and the Gators this year
Who?
@@alfredohernandez494 Tom Tebow. Tims slightly less good brother

I was lucky enough to go to App State from 2004-2008. I was at all 3 national title games, sat with 5 buddies on the 10th row on the 35 yard line behind Michigans bench in the big house, and watched us play LSU with a hurricane on the way right after Katrina the year before. It was amazing to watch this team. It will always be a great day to be a Mountaineer!!!!!!

The Michigan football program had been ignoring the termites eating away at the porch for a while and this was the weight that collapsed it. Complacency and arrogance within the athletic department was laid bare here and then over the course of the catastrophic RichRod era.
Going to a game in Boone is amazing. Best fans ever!
There were so many different emotions in this video. Going from rooting Appalachian state and hoping Michigan looses to then feeling bad for the Michigan coach and hoping he goes out with a win. Great editing!
I’m watching this after App State beat Texas A&M
Man, I love college football...
This was recommended after we just beat A&M, go Mountaineers!!
That song at the beginning sounded like a 90’s sitcom theme
That song is from a promotional video that was made by the University sometime around 2006 but was quickly canned. Despite that, it lived on because of the internet. Supposedly no one at the University ever took responsibility for its creation. Plenty of examples here on UA-cam highlighting its infamy, just search "Appalachian Hot Hot Hot"
That day was OSU Alumni Band Game in Columbus, and my dad is an alumnus of the band so we were in that Columbus crowd watching on one of the stadium TVs after the Buckeyes' game.
It is still one of my favorite sports memories!
With that being said, programs like App St/Boise St are why I would like to see an 8 team playoff with a place for the little guy to be able to sneak in. If App could get themselves into the AAC they would have a shot, but I dont see a Sun Belt team ever being able to get put into the playoff. Unless they end up playing UNC/S. Carolina Non Con or some other similar Power 5 school.
But with Covid who know what the heck will happen with re-alignment, it might speed things up creating 4 mega conferences
I remember that "Hot Hot Hot" video when it made the rounds on CollegeConfidential. Couldn't stop laughing my ass off
This was my freshman year at App. We tore down our own goalpost after the Michigan game and left it in our chancellor’s driveway. He loved it.
I think there’s a video of that if I’m not mistaken.
I graduated the year before. I was in Charlotte with my now wife. They didn't have the big 10 network (no one did really at the time) so like many we were reduced to watching the bottom ticker and in game updates. When I saw the 34-32 go final I flipped...didn't know how it happened, but I flipped. When they showed the highlights and HOW we won, that was a special moment.
@@Beardsandbars add Texas A&M to the kill list. Watching the live cam on King St from my house in Nevada and wishing more than anything that I was in Boone tonight.
Great video! Very well put together. I do wish that App St could have had a few clips at the end that show them moving up to the FBS level, joining the Sun Belt, making it to a bowl game and getting their first bowl win. They've really come along, and so has the Sun Belt Conference. Conference-USA used to be a stronger conference but then the Sun Belt went and ate their lunch.
The whole Sun Belt thing probably deserves a separate video of its own, but it would have been nice to see App St move up at the end there.
This game still haunts me as a Wolverine fan!!
I recall a week later you then lost to a team that no one heard of....but hat team remained on the map for the next 13 years. That team is Oregon.
@@wjatube That game was nuts. Oregon handed Michigan their worst loss since 1968!! It got forgotten because of that App State game, and rightfully so I’d say.
One thing in the lead up I would've included was the Michigan vs Ball State game where they nearly blew a 31-12 lead, stopping them on 4th down to prevail 34-26. Appalachian State watched a lot of game film on the game to figure out how to beat Michigan as an underdog. That really paid off as we got one of the greatest upsets in history.
As an OSU fan, i can never get enough of this.
May as well announce Harbaugh's firing in this video too because that boy is GOOONEEEE!!!
You wonder if App St still moves up to FBS level if they didn't win this game. I know it took a few years before the jump up, but that win still gets attention today. They won two straight D-1AA titles before the upset, but everyone treated them like a dead skunk on the side of the road compared to Michigan. The win was truly an Earth-shattering moment for both programs.
now AP state is a top 25 Div 1 FBS team.
Herbstreit and the rest of the ESPN goons had one job... be an expert on college football! Guess you guys blew it with this one.

I think the Buckeye game started a few mins late due to everyone stopping what they wher doing to watch Xichigan get embarrassed!!!
Which is why when one of you fucksticks asks me "are you rooting for ohio state in the bowl game? You should root for fellow big ten schools" my answer is "fuuuuuuuuck no". I'll root for Alabama and Nick Satan before I'll ever root for Ohio State, Michigan State, or Penn State.
@@slimj091 Yeah. You should. If you're dumb enough to be a Xichigan fan you should never root for the Bucks/Sparty/State. Just like when the B10 was undefeated in bowl games and Xichigan was the one team to Fukk up the streak. Even though it made the B10 look worse, I still enjoyed greatly watch you dumpster fire of a team drag the rest of us down with you. There should be a vote and somehow the B10 should make a special division with MU/Rutgers/Illinois/Maryland/Northwestern/Purdue. Maybe then you could crack 2nd in your division....😁😁😁
This will never get old
LOL, this never gets old.
This is the first game that really got me hooked on FCS football. Realized that EWU played these guys pretty close in the playoffs that year and thought, why does no one ever talk about this little school down the road? So much fun to study these little schools and see the look on people's faces when they realize how damn good some of the top tier FCS teams really are.
I mortgaged the house on App state...I now own a couple countries....(actually vegas did not offer a betting line for this game, because they felt it was a mismatch).....
I know. I tried to bet as much as I could on that one. No one would take it that had real money to put up. One person said he would, but my boy out in Cali - who was the intermediary - backed out on me. Damn. Could have made a fortune that day.
They beat the same HELMETS in the first and last games of the season...😂🤣
Michigan vs Ohio State is no longer a "rivalry." It is absolute dominance by Ohio State. It has been for about two decades. What is even worse is the way University of Michigan Football games DO NOT "sell out," and yet the sports announcers claim "The Big House has sold out." Even the Wall Street Journal pointed out there were games in 2017 where only 80,000 tickets were scanned, yet the announcers on TV falsely "claimed" the game sold over 100,000 tickets. You could VISIBLY see HUGE sections of empty sections in the stadium. It even was like that against Rutgers in 2019 after Michigan was blown out by Wisconsin.
this dude got me hyped up for a game that was played almost 15 years ago LMAO
remember seeing this on tv when i was a wee lad, it was such a crazy year for college ball
doubt it will ever be replicated
That is a great video!!!! Good job man
As a german - you don't know stories like these. But it wows you big time ^^
You could do the Navy winning streak against Army and the game Army stopped the streak in 2016.
Nope nope nope, we don't talk about that game.
Big C that’s not even a big upset. Army and navy are both pretty much irrelevant in college football, aside from that rivalry game. They both suck, while here, you have (at the time) one of the best teams in the country loosing against a pretty horrible, unheard of, and not a big division 1 school. This game is leagues better than any puny army navy game.
Canned Bread army is pretty good
@@nickduncan8376 Pretty horrible? App State was in the middle of a 3-peat as FCS champions when they beat Michigan. It wasn't like Michigan was playing a bad FCS team. App State would've taken down a lot of FBS teams that year. That was how good they were.
Really great video! You told a huge story spanning many years without evening talking!
7:12 that was a bold move, calling touchdown when he was still at the 30 yard line
When the nearest person is 10 yards away and the RB is pulling away from them only way it wouldn’t be is if the got people penalty. So not that bold haha.
He coulda fell down!
16:20 weird how they got down to the 5 and then decided to kick a field goal right away even though they had 30 seconds on the clock still. Obviously it worked out but considering Michigan was able to get into field goal range after...that's some pretty bad coaching
Yeah, they could have tried for the TD to make Michigan have to get a TD or at least run the clock all the way down for the attempt. Didn't matter in the end though
It was pretty awful, should have at the very least, run one play, then spike it with one second to go. Moore nearly cost his team the game.
If you try to run the clock down and then spike it. You automatically lose the game if any of your o-line flinch before the snap or an illegal formation because of the 10-second runoff rule. not worth the risk.
They just wanted to play it safe for having no timeouts didn’t want to risk a fumble
Jerry Moore said after the game they did it to guard against a bad snap. If something goes wrong and you have to fall on a fumbled snap, you still have just enough time to get off a second try.
The entire country was routing against Michigan. Love see the reactions
You left out 2 big things.
1) How the rest of the FBS was impacted due to this.
2)How this game happens in the shadow of Boise State beating Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl!!!!!
on a trick play ...
@@BHox01 The Boise State vs. Oklahoma is my fav.
Those that know much about Boise St. knew that Boise St. was really good. Through the years they have been one of the most under rated teams around. I have rooted against them many times, but I have to admit that they have almost always had really good teams in recent years.
I honestly think this game had a big impact on the FCS as well. ASU showed that it wasn't just going to be FCS programs scratching out rare fluke wins over conference bottom-feeders like Kansas or Vandy. The gap was closing. And it kept closing. Then NDSU showed up and slapped Minnesota, Iowa State, and Iowa in the span of a few years. JMU beat VT in 2010. And now, FCS upsets over FBS teams aren't *that* uncommon anymore. But this is the granddaddy of them all.
And on top of everything else, App State has shown that it's possible for a good FCS team to walk into a Group of 5 conference and not be a doormat. They are the standard for teams like my JMU Dukes that are moving up from FCS to FBS this year...in the Sun Belt with App State, Marshall, Georgia Southern, lots of former FCS/I-AA rivals. They showed how to do it.
What in the Sam hell does this game have to do with Boise St winning the Fiesta Bowl??? 😂😂
Wow, just.. Wow. Going to say this was pretty much a H-Bomb to Michigan's strength of schedule Stat for that season.
Thanks for giving Lloyd Carr his props. Not a Michigan fan but Mr Carr was classy and HIGHLY successful. A great coach. College football is massively competitive with loads of unrealistic expectations and coach Lloyd knew that. Finally we can look at him objectively. Wouldn't complain about their team, in Annarbor, having a position and status, like they did then, now would they?
Carr was a great guy but Michigan messed up by rushing their intentions of hiring Les Miles. His wife already picked out a house in Ann Arbor. They should've waited until after LSU's title game. Everything went public and Les had to back-out. If not, he certainly would've done a better job than RR and Hoke.
Interesting to note that they began & ended their '07 season w/ a win over a team with the same helmet design. Different mascot names, but still. :) Crazy, crazy season in '07.
I’m very late to this video but I didn’t see it referenced in the video but that game was seen on tv by almost no one. App State vs That Team Up North was the first game to air on the big ten network but it wasn’t carried by most of the cable providers and was blacked out in most markets nationwide.
I was at this game and sat in the Michigan section and was passing tremendous gas due to an intestinal problem. The people around me were pissed and I told them I could not control the gas and I knew it was very powerful but they finally left but I did not care and don’t feel bad about it to be honest.
Thom Brennaman and Charles Davis is a heck of an announcing team for a season opener between Michigan and a FCS team.
Before that, they were the announcing team when Boise State upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. After this, I'll bet any coach of a ranked FBS team would get nervous if those two announced a game where his team was favored.
This NEVER, EVER, gets old!
I live in Chattanooga and watching games at that stadium is legendary.
This is an amazing video. Thank you.
Get ready to add a clip of Harbaugh getting fired
Those were the days when you could watch college football on TV for free, now it’s highlights on You Tube.
Kirk herbstreet, forever calling bad calls
This was my first football Saturday after I moved to Ann Arbor. It was brutal......
Funny how Herbstreit was nowhere to be found with a reaction that day after talking all that shit about them and FCS as a whole before the game. I hope someone sent him some App State gear!
There is a reason the story of David & Goliath is in The Good Book (The Bible), as this game is living proof, even in today’s times, that events like the outcome in this EPIC Upset are not just for scripture. 🍻✊🏻🔥👍🏻🍻
Bet Michigan fans miss Lloyd Carr.
I don't care how good I think my team is. If I'm in Div 1, I'm not putting the 2-time defending Div 1-AA champs on my schedule. That tells me that the program is good enough to play on our level. It's a trap game if I ever saw one.
