Get ready, Boone, N.C.—College GameDay is coming to your city.
ESPN’s popular pregame show is going off the beaten path and hosting this weekend’s show at Appalachian State for the first time ever. The choice to head to the Sun Belt powerhouse comes after the Mountaineers pulled off a shocking upset of No. 6 Texas A&M on the road last weekend.
Appalachian State nearly took down another Power Five opponent in Week 1, as the Mountaineers came achingly close to beating North Carolina at home in a wild shootout that the Tar Heels ultimately won, 63–61, in a game that featured 62 fourth-quarter points.
