Appalachian State getting some added attention

Posted on July 31, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
The Appalachian State Mountaineers, who are coming off back-to-back FCS National Championships and will face Michigan in their open, will be getting some extra TV exposure prior to the game against the Wolverines.

News comes from What's hAPPening!, an Appalachian State alumni blog, that the Mountaineers will be featured as part of Fox Sports Net's Under the Lights series. The show reminds me of MTV's Two-A-Days.
FSN camera crews will shadow the Mountaineers throughout much of the month of August, beginning with players reporting to campus, through the team’s first practices of the season, media day, Fan Fest and the dog days of summer camp and concluding with the Apps’ season-opening trip to the 107,051-seat Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich.
I normally think shows like these are unentertaining and a potential distraction to their subject but in this case I welcome the exposure. The more TV time for the FCS, the better. Now let's hope the Mountaineers can at least put a scare into the National Championship contending Wolverines.
