Appalachian State University
The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes
