“I can remember watching this and stifling my enthusiasm and excitement that Appalachian State might pull it off. This was during a time that upsets, especially regular season upsets, weren't happening much. I think the most shocking upset I can remember before this one was Memphis beating Peyton Mannings Tennessee team in 96. So I didn't want to celebrate early. When the game ended and they won it felt like a funeral or like something terrible happened lol. The commentary was in shock it's like they were afraid to say it .... Almost like they would get in trouble. I just remembered how weird it felt and then it was the only story for a couple weeks ... Then South Florida started beating everyone and got ranked #2. This was before social media really had the power it does now so we got to really sit in the moment and feel it, share that feeling with everyone around.... It was pretty electric and unbelievable. ”
