It seems the wound from 2007 will never fully heal for Michigan football. Appalachian State has once again taken a shot at the Wolverines, reviving the memory of one of the biggest upsets in college football history. The Mountaineers, known for their shocking 34-32 victory over a ranked Michigan team in Ann Arbor nearly two decades ago, have found a new way to twist the knife.

The latest jab came through a social media post that referenced the infamous game, reminding fans of the day a powerhouse fell to a program from the Football Championship Subdivision. While the exact wording of the post was simple, the intent was clear: the Mountaineers are not letting the Wolverines forget that loss. For Appalachian State, that victory remains a defining moment, a symbol of their program's rise. For Michigan, it is a scar that refuses to fade, a reminder of a season that started with historic failure. The trolling is a gift that keeps on giving for Appalachian State fans, who relish any chance to bring up the upset. Michigan, now a perennial contender under head coach Jim Harbaugh, has long since moved past that era, but the internet never forgets. The Mountaineers seem happy to ensure that.
