Book Synopsis

They are known as cupcake games--lower division teams get paid to travel to college football Meccas where the hosts make a nice profit from an extra game. On September 1, 2007, the University of Michigan Wolverines, with more wins than any team in history, hosted the Appalachian State Mountaineers from Boone, North Carolina, in the first such game at Michigan Stadium, the largest stadium in the country.

App State was no cupcake. Coach Jerry Moore, in the spirit of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team and other memorable underdogs, assembled his team with two things in mind--speed and character--and conditioned them to the breaking point. We''re fixin'' to shock ''em, he shouted at practice, in the locker room, at the dinner table. This book tells the inside story of Moore''s legendary team and the Mountaineers'' historic win.
