Podcast: Week 1 and Anniversary of THAT App State Win

The latest episode goes down memory lane a bit, but still gets you up to speed for a full slate of G5 football

In this story:

As August ends and September begins, it marks the anniversary of one of the greatest upsets in the history of college football. We're of course referring to Appalachian State's 2007 win at Michigan. Where were you when the Mountaineers shocked the world?

Joe Londergan and Eric Henry reflect on the impact of that game before getting into the importance of the week ahead. Could we see multiple upsets from this weekend's G5 slate? Then, the guys take a step back to Week Zero and discuss what you should watch for in terms of future ramifications. For example, how good is UMass really? How far can Ohio go if Kurtis Rourke's injury gets worse?

Joe did just spend a little time in Ireland for Navy's contest with Ireland, so he has stories about his time across the pond. Joe's also still not over some of the nagging things he saw in Navy's performance.

The guys have also travelled quite a bit in this line of work, so they get a little sidetracked at the end talking about their favorite towns and cities in the Group of Five. This was brought on by Eric recent trip to Louisiana Tech's campus, which impressed him.

Happy football watching! Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.
