You don't get that much excitement from any NBA Thug League or any other professional sports team winning a game.

The monumental upset at No. 5 Michigan was only minutes old when, more than 400 miles away, Appalachian State senior David Rockensuess and a dozen or so other students did what delirious college football fans always do.
They headed for the school’s football stadium, climbed the fence, and tore down the goalpost.
Then it really got fun.
Dragging the trophy down the main street in town, their numbers grew. By the time they reached the chancellor’s house, a small army had joined in to help.
“There were hundreds of us,” Rockensuess said. “There may have been a thousand there at the end.”
The goalpost was still sitting in Chancellor Kenneth Pea****’s yard when the team returned to campus in four buses late Saturday, where they greeted with thousands of cheering fans.
“All through town the goalpost went. They talked about taking it to the chancellor’s house, and even the police thought it was a good idea,” said ASU student Per Frisk. “We all thought he should be pretty happy with the win, too.”
The coach was happy, too.
“I’ve been doing this a long time, but I’ve never seen anything like this,” coach Jerry Moore said. “It’s an awesome deal. We’ve got great fans.”
The party had been going on for nearly eight hours before the team returned.
Drivers honked horns as they drove by, flags waved and students screamed, “It’s great to be a Mountaineer!”
Fans chanted “ASU, ASU” next to trees that were littered with toilet paper.
Drop the 13,000-plus who live in Boone, N.C., in the middle of Ann Arbor, Mich., and they would largely go unnoticed.
On Saturday, however, after Appalachian State’s 34-32 win over No. 5 Michigan, the state school, nestled in a sleepy college town in the Blue Ridge Mountains, was the center of the college football universe.
Downtown, in between sips of beer from plastic cups, students debated the significance of perhaps the biggest upsets in college football history.
“This is my humble opinion: This is the biggest thing to happen to Boone,” said senior Zach Williams, who skipped out of work overseeing the tennis courts at a nearby country club to watch the second half.
Considering no Division I-AA had beaten a team ranked in The Associated Press poll from 1989-2006, and it’s unlikely that it had ever happened before, that opinion was sure to gain support.
“This the second biggest upset in sports,” said another student, conceding only the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team’s upset of the Soviet Union.
Many felt Appalachian State’s win over Michigan, in front of more than 107,000 fans in Ann Arbor, is bigger than the consecutive I-AA national championships won by the Mountaineers the last two years.
Appalachian State has long dominated the Southern Conference and has won 15 straight games, longest in the nation.
Beating a Big Ten team that had national championship aspirations was something altogether different.
Frisk of Chapel Hill, N.C., knew Corey Lynch blocked a field goal attempt on the last play three seconds ahead of most of the rest of town.
“I tried to go watch it at the Library and I was sitting in this guy’s car in the parking lot,” Frisk said. “The radio was 3 seconds faster than the TV, so I heard the kick was blocked and I jumped up and started cheering.
“I realized no one else was cheering. Then 2 seconds later everyone started cheering. And then it blew up, man.”
Lynch got the most attention when he got off the bus Saturday night. He was immediately mobbed by fans and the smile never left his face.
“This is just crazy. We never expected this,” Lynch said. “We had 15 fire trucks in front of us on the way here. It’s unbelievable.”
Cassidy McCorkle, a graduate student from Atlanta, was one of several students not looking to end the party anytime soon Saturday night.
“I go to the best college in the world,” McCorkle said.
The only negative comments heard outside the Parthenon were customers disappointed the Bud Light ran out at 8 p.m. “Somebody better get some more soon,” one yelled. “For now, just give me what’s left.”
Outside, students and fans cheered the victory, many calling friends and family on cell phones, trying to explain the significance of the win.
“You don’t understand; we beat MICHIGAN,” one fan screamed into his phone. “This is the biggest college football upset of all time.”
Frisk said that during the time he was watching the game at The Library, a nearby pub, fire marshals twice warned of too many people. “We’re not too happy with ESPN,” he said. “They should have showed the game. I bet they wish they had now.”
