Football, mountain style

Yosef

Quietly, the Appalachian State Mountaineers of Boone, North Carolina have held the NCAA Div. 1-AA No. 1 ranking in football since they won the National Championship last December and only lost one game to NC State this season. They put their 11-1 record on the line Saturday when the Bobcats of Montana State visit the Watauga County mountains. If you're too far away to make the game (buy tickets here), it will be on ESPN2 at 4pm. A win Saturday and another one next weekend will land ASU back in the championship game.
