Lost Wolves

Watch out for those Mountaineers.

No, not Steve Slaton and his West Virginia squad.

Appalachian State University!

Boone, NC. Population of 13,000. Home to the defending D-IAA champions, the Booners (that is what you call someone from Boone, no?) of ASU pulled off one of the greatest upsets in college football history, if not sports history.

In front of 109,000 Michigan fans at the "Big House" in Ann Arbor, on opening day no less, the Mountaineers, lead by QB Amanti Edwards, took home with them a $400,000 check for showing up and all of Michigan's title hopes and pride in one of the most unbelievable games we'll see in our lifetimes.

Congratulations are in order to the whole squad, but 1 player...

The hero (and goat in my opinion) Corey Lynch, a DB from Cape Coral, FL, made the game saving play to finish off the Wolverines by blocking a last second field goal attempt by Michigan's kicker Jason Gingell.

Although he made the game-saving play, what most people didn't notice was after the block, Lynch recovered the football and began running 70-yards towards the end zone.

One problem...he was tackled by Gingell! Lynch should have just fell on it to begin with, but wasting all that effort to be tackled by a KICKER a few yards short of the end zone is un-athletic and un-American.

Despite this, Lynch and his teammates pulled off an absolute miracle. It was excellent and one of the many reasons sports are so fun to watch.

If only Lynch could have figured out how to outrun a kicker, then it would've been perfect!
