Great article! It captures much of the roller-coaster of emotions that were happening in the Big House that day. Thanks for posting!

It's not the Detroit Free Press, Ann Arbor News instead, but 7 years after the fact, I finally got mine framed. I just picked it up today.

They give too much credit too their kicker for runnin down Corey Lynch on the 6 yard line.

LYNCH HAD JUST PLAYED 4 QUARTERS AND BLOCKED AND SCOOPED HIS KICK.

Give me a break.

Hey, that's all they could find as a positive ---

Lots of favorite images from that game. The one that always makes me laugh is the disgusted look on the UM male cheerleader's face as everyone piles on Corey. That is classic.

All I can say is Wow!! great back and forth in the article. Brings me back to the game live on TV sitting with close APP friends.

Quote of the entire experience!: "Never mind that Michigan was foolish to schedule Appalachian State. When you want a cupcake, eat a cupcake. Don't chew on glass and tell yourself it's a cupcake."

...and:

"Hang on. Appalachian State linebacker Pierre Banks has something to say.

"We should go to the Rose Bowl!" Banks yelled.

Banks added, "I'm just kidding," which was classy but entirely unnecessary. The Mountaineers should crow about this forever."

I will!

Yea, we ain't gonna catch them by surprise this year. We better bring our A+ game this year. We need to play a flawless game, which is possible, just will our guys rise to the occasion? We will know the answer in a few more days.

Very well written article with great quotes from former players on both sides. Bought tickets on ebay 3 months before that game from Michigan professor. Sold them a week before game to local parents of ASU students because I could not work out travel logistics. Would have been one of biggest regrets in my life, if I didn't get to experience the aftermath/mayhem in Boone that day after listening to game on radio at work.

This deserves a bump so everyone has a chance to enjoy.
