2007: Appalachian State v. Michigan (Drive-Thru)

it's game day in Ann Arbor Michigan 107 thousand strong on hand for the season opener Roy Carr in the Wolverines arriving a short while ago Mike carton and his teammates eyeing a national championship at least I got two for Michigan in that family farm a big hole stiff finds his way inside the five there's been going for the Wolverines on this their first possession of the season and they're going to try to get Hart to the endzone he done making sure his line is getting the call sher drop good throw and the catch is made by Matt Klein and other freshmen and he's out of cross to the 32 yard line a gain of six showdown upcoming hundred corner the spread is already forced Michigan into more of a nickel work by DBS burden for they cash in on the third down and maybe more off to the races and going all the way the end zone the speedster Dexter Jackson he was a Southern Conference 200 meter dash champion and he ran away from the Michigan defense holy mackerel Todd the one thing Bart the lone running back for the first time in the regular season Michigan is going to the shotgun this year here comes the Blitz and Down Goes heady off the corner comes to air banks their leading tackler a season ago check it down what Stan Michigan worn six and they're coming out there Edwards steps up delivers first down warning him by Adams but hanging on to the football is John Johnson just moving in the second quarter the Mountaineers at Appalachian State on the move trailing by a touchdown Richardson bounces off a couple attackers to the loser no shoved on a balance test on about Richardson the third one in for the tongue is a touchdown for the Mountaineers Hans Dennis yarn born in Haiti moved to Miami the only married player on this well he comes around again Jackson devastating across the 40 the 47 looks like only Michigan penny the old position continues to change if this goes the way need to think it's going to him but today five receivers grew to the bottom and the quicksand is jetsam million away from touchdown jumping up and down and celebrating on the Appalachian State sidelines and in the cloud and wouldn't you you should if you're an Appalachian State fan push charging from his free safety position handing out of the shotgun quick-draw as he is drilled by Lynch missing in turns it over on downs and Lynch the four years of play and the check from the sidelines second and five another handoff and another mountain near first and Richardson stays on his feet got the check from sidelines to keep it himself in another first hand inside of the chain down to the 8 yard line is on Edwards to look to his sideline again checking off zone touchdown mountain this electrifying sophomore quarterback Nations High School in down the middle 18 seconds of a man here's second Christmas to the day made by Edward it's good well done by gin gel seven here they come after Edwards steps up close to Hillary to the 15-yard line 31 yards out and it is good for Brian quick look at a coaching staff on the Michigan side one second down four and again it's 9 in the ball is loose and it looks like Appalachian State has recovered and that is because they have Michigan five of ten on third down today penny fires to the far side too tall for Massey double covered was it tight in and that's where Henny threw the football he that is in trouble and the ball is loose and the Wolverines have recovered question goal fart again and as my clerk vintage and a four receiver set hey bottles of oil and will not get in first and continually fed to heart roll maybe chase by banks close across his body in a septic Leonard shoved out of bounds what a huge play by letter love and about near defense Bigelow and his step up one so Appalachian State takes over on dams looking for sugar and a chance to beat Ohio State something this senior class has never done a chance to win a big 10 and now Hart the senior still on his feet hooks it back the other way part to the 10 to the 5 touchdown we'll get it tomorrow he falls down so for the second time today the Wolverines fail on a two-point conversion whoa intercepted Griffin is never lets go voter Jim Shella pickle and after the line of scrimmage it gives it away club by Corman dances away from one attachment down the sideline to the forty or I can Shawn Quay we'll do it again Edwards we across the middle caught by Hillary all the way to the five-yard line the Michigan's got to think about greatest upsets in the history of college football and it is good a lot of pressure on them it can let anyone behind them when he steps up puts it in the air down the sideline looking for Manning a flag is down he left the ball at the 20 yard line here we go they're going to kick the field goal it'll be Jason the chin gel out of the hold of nesco good snap good hold and the kick is blocked Appalachian State has stunned the college football world one of the greatest upsets in sports history blocked by Cory Lynch coach one of the

Man, I remember that game. I'm not one for sports, but I just don't like U of M. I grew up in an area near Ann Arbor and dealt with a lot of fans who were almost belligerent supporters. The rivalries between MSU and OSU have literally ended friendships.

When U of M lost to Appalachian State, it is like the world stood still for at least a day for a 50 mile radius. I am not trying to exaggerate, but it was nuts. I brought it up to some of my friends because I saw it on the news, and they treated me like I was making jokes about their grandmother's dying.

As a Buckey fan, upvote for schadenfreude. O-H-I-O

I grew up in the Grand Rapids area surrounded by U of M fans and I can confirm that the whole world stood still for a day when this happened. One of the best days in recent college football history.

Buckeye, here: this will be forever in my heart. Thank you, Appalachian State!

What rank was Michigan going into this?

The Best Buy in East Lansing played that game on loop across all the display TVs for a year.

Honorable mentions to Kordell Stewart and Michael Westbrook. [My mom happened to call a guy from church at that moment. He picked up the phone, went "AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!" and hung up.]

Wow. Michigan had so many chances to put this game away.
