Appalachian State Moving Up to FBS, Michigan Trembling

Appalachian State shocked the FBS world in 2007. Now they're getting ready to join it. The Mountaineers, who won three straight FCS titles before becoming the first FCS team ever to beat a ranked FCS opponent, has decided to make the leap to whatever's left of the Sun Belt conference in 2014 (when the former Big East and Conference USA are done raiding it). Jimmy already...

Exclusive Interview: Appalachian State RB Steven Miller

Steven Miller of Appalachian State only played 2 seasons for the Mountaineers, but he made the final year one to remember. Miller nearly eclipsed 1,500 yards rushing with 11 touchdowns.

Appalachian State’s Brian Okam with the WORST FREE THROW EVER (VIDEO)

You know how people will break up sentences into one word sentences for emphasis?  For instance – worst.  Free. Throw. Ever.  This foul shot by Appalachian State junior center Kevin Okam deserves paragraphs of one-word sentences emphasizing how awesome/pathetic/hilarious this free throw is.

Appalachian State's Brian Okam made worst free throw attempt ever (Video)

Appalachian State center Brian Okam attempted what can honestly be described as the worst looking free throw attempt ever by any NCAA college basketball player during Saturday's 70-64 loss to Western Carolina. It has to be seen to be believed, as Okam's foul shot, and we're not even sure we can even call it that, went straight up in the air and didn't even make...

Appalachian State’s Brian Okam shows off unarguably the worst free throw attempt ever

Welcome to Airball City, population that guy. It’s hard not to cut Appalachian State center Brian Okam’s some slack on his free throw shooting—he is 7-fooy tall junior and big men are notoriously bad shooters—but this attempt from the charity line is beyond horrible.  Airballing a free throw takes some serious lack of talent, but Okam’s attempt nearly goes straight up...

Appalachian State Player’s Free Throw Try Makes Shaquille O’Neal, Dwight Howard Look Good (Video)

This is not how to shoot a free throw. This is not even close to how to shoot a free throw. The next time you see Dwight Howard missing a dozen down the stretch or remember just how bad it was when Shaquille O’Neal strolled to the line, turn to this video and take solace. This Appalachian State player had a better chance of getting his ball into the rafters than getting it near...

The Appalachian State football program is courting Shawn Elliott, offensive line coach and run game coordinator for South Carolina, to be their next head coach. The first reaction in reading this news as it was first reported by TheBigSpur.com is ...."oh god, no."
