It's hard to imagine being more excited than this announcer for Appalachian State student radio station WASU.  A week after stunning Texas A&M, Appalachian State Mountaineers surprised Troy with a 53-yard last-minute touchdown Saturday.

The announcer goes from skeptical to fired up in about half a second, as Mountaineer quarterback Chase Brice's Hail Mary was tipped into the hands of Christian Horn. He even invents a new catchphrase: "Mother Meatballs!"

The student-run station posted the final call to its Twitter page.
