Locked On Presents: Slaying Goliath – How Appalachian State Conquered A Giant

Part of what makes a college football upset so exciting is watching the students celebrate in ways that only the youthful can. Just this year, Vanderbilt fans carried a goalpost through Nashville after upsetting then #1 ranked Alabama at home. Here is Thomas Sherrill’s recollection of how Appalachian State students celebrated in 2007 after upsetting Michigan, carrying the school’s goalpost around campus and eventually to then Chancellor Kenneth Peacock’s house. Students celebrating a college football win is part of what makes college football so great. Here is how Appalachian State alumni remember celebrating the biggest upset in college football history. Also featuring the voice of Mark LeGree who set the record for interceptions in a season for Appalachian State in 2008 and would be drafted by the Seattle Seahawks.

Episode 4 explores how the Mountaineers pulled off the unthinkable. The Mountaineers offense, defense and special teams all had to work together to do just enough to complete the greatest upset in college football history. This is how Corey Lynch, Armanti Edwards and Appalachian State made it happen and how UM QB Chad Henne and future New York Giants Super Bowl hero WR Mario Manningham almost saved the Wolverines in the game's final moments. The podcast also explores what happened in the aftermath of this historic sports moment.Donate here to help those affected by Hurricane Helene Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 3 is about Michigan fighting back. The 5th-ranked Wolverines were a roster filled with future NFL talent like Chad Henne and Mario Manningham. Head coach Lloyd Carr wasn’t letting his team go down without a fight. As Appalachian State head coach Jerry Moore told Charissa Thompson on the sideline they were about to get “the best the Big Ten’s got. The way they would play against Ohio State… Notre Dame… Rose Bowl. That’s the way they’ll play the second half.” Despite starting the half down 11 and star running back Mike Hart getting banged up, Michigan was determined to not let a small school from the mountains of North Carolina embarrass them.Donate here to help those affected by Hurricane Helene Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 2 explores how the Mountaineers were able to go into halftime with an 11-point halftime lead on the Wolverines in The Big House. To do that, the Mountaineers defense needed to limit a potent offense led by Chad Henne, Mario Manningham, Mike Hart and future 1st overall pick Jake Long. Not to mention, establishing the run on offense with QB Armanti Edwards and RB Kevin Richardson as well as getting the ball in Dexter Jackson’s hands to make a few more plays. Getting a first-half lead on Michigan isn’t easy. This is how Appalachian State did it.Donate here to help those affected by Hurricane Helene Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 1 explores how the Mountaineers were able to schedule a “money game” with Michigan and why head coach Jerry Moore cared so much about them, how App State prepared for the game, Mike Hart’s dominant running on the first drive of the game, and the moment that Dexter Jackson stunned the Wolverines and put his school on the map.

Chapter 10: Roberto Aguayo is considered the biggest “kicking bust” in the history of the NFL Draft. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers infamously traded up into the 2nd round to take the kicker and cut him after only 1 season with the team. He’s one of the biggest “what ifs” in the last decade of pro football. This is the story of what happened in Aguayo’s own words. Not just the circumstances behind his fall from grace, but how he became a top high school kicking prospect and one of the greatest kickers in the history of college football with the Florida State Seminoles.

Chapter 9: The kickers profiled in this episode all played 9 years or more in the National Football League. Starting for a game or a season is one thing but making it in the league year after year at a position that only has one spot on every roster is something altogether different. How do these elite kickers continue to keep their roster spot into their 30s and even 40s? Nate Kaeding spent almost all of his career with the San Diego Chargers after being a highly touted 3rd round pick and the top specialist in the 2004 NFL Draft. Nick Lowery was cut 11 times before beating out future Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker Jan Stenerud for the Kansas City Chiefs starting job. There are multiple ways to make the league but to last you need grit and a personal philosophy on life, family, and competition. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 7: Kickers spend most of their career on the sideline. The actual act of kicking a football is an infrequent part of the game. 23-year National Football League veteran John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) shares his strategy for blocking out the noise. Also hear from fellow NFL veterans Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), Matt Stover (Baltimore Ravens), Eddie Murray (Detroit Lions), Jeff Jaeger (Los Angeles Raiders, Chicago Bears), and Nate Kaeding (San Diego Chargers) explain how they passed the time to stay mentally ready to win the game when called upon.Chapter 8: We asked the game’s best kickers about their favorite game winning moments. From two Pro Bowl winning kicks 25 years apart, to playoff winners, and kicks that sent teams to the Super Bowl, hear about the moments that define a kicker’s career in their own words. One game winner featured Kansas City Chief Nick Lowery receiving a threat from Pittsburgh Steeler Jack Lambert while another is a little-known secret behind Morten Andersen’s game winning kick over the Minnesota Vikings in the 1998 NFC Championship game that sent the Atlanta Falcons to their first the Super Bowl.

Chapter 5: A field goal always starts with the long snapper. In fact, there is no field goal without the long snapper. So, we explore the long snapper position through Nate Boyer and Kendall Gammon. Boyer is a former Green Beret in the US Army who learned to long snap, from the ground up, as a 30-year-old in order to fulfill his dream of starting for the University of Texas Longhorns football team. Gammon played 218 straight games during his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and Kansas City Chiefs, and is one of the best long snappers in NFL history.Chapter 6: Someone needs to catch those tight spirals. This is an inside look at the holder position through Bryan Barker who had a 16-year NFL career as a holder and punter for teams including the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Philadelphia Eagles. He held for both Nick Lowery (Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets), and Eddie Murray (Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles) who are not only featured in this series but who also required very different holding techniques from Barker. Since holders almost always play other positions, National Football League veteran John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) compares the difference between the punters and backup quarterbacks that held for him during his career. Louisville’s Art Carmody and Texas Tech’s Alex Trlica discuss having future NFL starting wide receivers Harry Douglas and Danny Amendola hold for them respectively, during their time as elite college kickers.

Chapter 3: Everyone we talked to for this podcast from Lou Groza award winners to a Pro Football Hall of Famer agreed that the best pro and college kickers are athletes who played a lot of sports growing up. As University of Florida Gators kicking great Bobby Raymond put it, they learned to be competitors by playing everything rather than just kicking. The best kickers often are “jack of all trades, master of none” until they decide to specialize in college. This episode explores the way different kickers relate other sports to their position on the football field. Surfing, pitching, golf, and even stock car auto racing are some of those sports where these world class placekickers first honed the athletic skills and a mindset that enabled them to later excel as kickers. Chapter 4: A deep dive into the mental aspect of the kicking game. This chapter is all about the techniques the best placekickers have used to stay at the top of their game. Hear about mental, visualization and practice strategies directly from Lou Groza Award winners Joe Allison (University of Memphis Tigers), Judd Davis (University of Florida Gators), Marc Primanti (North Carolina State Wolfpack), Art Carmody (University of Louisville Cardinals), Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), Matt Stover (Baltimore Ravens), and more.

Chapter 1: This is the story of how two different kickers used the same strategy to climb from rock bottom to become the best amateur kickers in the country. Lou Groza Award winners Alexis Serna (Oregon State Beavers) and Brad Craddock (University of Maryland Terrapins) came close to quitting for different reasons, but the way they overcame obstacles was the same. These two kickers explain the mindset of “kicking not to miss” and how it almost ruined their promising kicking careers.Chapter 2: This chapter was inspired by a conversation with former Syracuse Orange kicker Cole Murphy in the summer of 2019. In that conversation, Murphy explained that he felt all the best kickers had a “beach bum” like quality to them. The concept became the starting point for this entire podcast series. Are all great kickers like “beach bums”? Had reporter Cole Weinstein uncovered the predictive personality trait that determined whether someone could make it big as an elite college or NFL kicker? We answer those questions with the help of NFL veterans Pro Bowler John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), whose careers each spanned over two decades in the NFL.Interviews include Alexis Serna (Oregon State Beavers), Brad Craddock (University of Maryland Terrapins), Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints), Nate Kaeding (San Diego Chargers), and more.

(CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault)In a special edition of Locked On Presents, Locked On NHL local hosts Erica Lindsay Ayala (Locked On Kraken), Ann Kimmel (Locked On Predators), Jay Forster (Locked On Blue Jackets) and Rachel Donner (Locked On Flyers) come together for a round table discussion on the fallout from the Chicago Blackhawks' sexual assault cover up, the NHL's handling of the situation, hockey's toxic culture and lack of accountability within the inner ranks of the sport, and what can be done to address the fundamental flaws in the way the sport is governed from the grass roots level up to the NHL.The conversation begins with a recounting of events detailed 107-page report from Jenner & Block on the sexual assault of the John Doe now known to be Kyle Beach by former Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich, and the assault Aldrich committed on a second John Doe after having left the Blackhawks organization. The panel dives into their reactions to the interviews held by TSN's Rick Westhead with both Beach and the mother of John Doe 2, and why the don't believe the hockey world would have responded in the same way without those courageous interviews.From there, Erica, Ann, Jay and Rachel discuss the NHL's handling of the situation, avenues for change within the construct of the sport, and how the league's regular missteps on issues of sexual assault, racism, homophobia and other societal ills have affected their own fandom, as well as the role fans need to play in pressuring the league to change its ways.

This week we continue a two-part conversation between a group of LGBTQ+ hosts from the Locked On NHL channel on being Queer in the world of hockey. Featuring Jay Forster (Blue Jackets), Sarah Avampato (Kings) Robby Leaño (Coyotes) and Rachel Donner (Flyers), this week's conversation picks up with some talk of how each of the panelists made their way into hockey media, before pivoting to a discussion of rainbow capitalism, the problem of NHL teams selling pride merch but pocketing the profits, and whether pride merch has value if the profits are not being funneled back into the LGBTQ+ community.

Growing up, Kyle Dugger used to watch football for hours. He grew up on gridiron gladiators like Adrian Peterson, Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed and Eric Berry. It was that passion for the game he loved that pushed Dugger to become the highest-drafted Division II prospect in the NFL Draft in two decades. Not only that, but Dugger was New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s first draft pick of the post-Tom Brady era.This podcast explores how Dugger went from an undersized freshman running back just trying to make his high school varsity roster to a dominant safety winning the Cliff Harris Award and shining star at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine.Locked On Presents: Long Shot – The Kyle Dugger Story also gives you an inside look at the NFL draft process from the perspective of the ultimate underdog who beat the system.Written, voiced, sound design, and edited by Cole Weinstein.
