Description

They’re referred to as “cupcake games”–lower division teams receives a commission to commute to school football Meccas where the hosts make a nice benefit from an extra game. On September 1, 2007, the University of Michigan Wolverines, with more wins than any team in history, hosted the Appalachian State Mountaineers from Boone, North Carolina, within the first such game at Michigan Stadium, the largest stadium within the country.

App State was once no cupcake. Coach Jerry Moore, within the spirit of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team and other memorable underdogs, assembled his team with two things in mind–speed and character–and conditioned them to the verge of collapse. “We’re fixin’ to shock ’em,” he shouted at practice, within the locker room, on the dinner table. This book tells the inside story of Moore’s legendary team and the Mountaineers’ historic win.
