Dude, being a Michigan fan living NC for the last 19 years, I am beyond thrilled. You can’t wear Michigan gear without people yelling “App State!!!”.  Glad to have the heat off Michigan and now on A&M. 
 

Also, announced early this AM, College Gameday will be at Boone / App State this weekend!!!  Pretty cool for us North Carolinians.  Gonna go to the game as our daughter is a Freshman at App St.

According to 247, the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 recruiting classes for A&M have 13 five-stars and 63 four stars.

According to 247, the 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 recruiting classes for Michigan had 6 five-stars and 33 four stars.

Texas A&M has deeper talent in 2022 than Michigan did in 2007 but lost to an App St team that wasn't as good as the 2007 Appy St. team.

Unsurprisingly, there isn't a single 5-star or 4-star among the 2019-22 recruiting classes for App St.—it's all 3-stars or lower for them.

per wikipedia:

"Following the game, the Associated Press made FCS schools eligible to receive vote in the AP Poll that ranks college football teams; the poll was previously limited to FBS teams. On September 9, Appalachian State received 19 points and was 33rd in overall voting in the AP Poll. In the final AP Poll of the 2007 season issued in January 2008, Appalachian State earned five points, good enough for a tie at 34th place and making Appalachian State the first non-FBS program to receive votes in a season-ending AP Poll."

It'll be interesting to see where App St. finishes this season.

No, see post below, every time App St beats anyone of note, they’ll be replays and discussion of The Horror…forever. I wish they would discontinue their program. The ESPU radio announcers “no win will EVER eclipse the win at the big house” Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhh
