 Appalachian State University hosts the Western Carolina  Catamounts for the Annual "Battle for the Old Mountain Jug"

Dating back to 1932, the Mountaineers and Catamounts have gone head to head to battle for victory on the football field. These teams have met up annually with no interruptions since 1946 and began the trophy series in 1976.

The trophy, an old moonshine jug bearing the mascots for both teams, weighs approximately 25 lbs and has remained unchanged, with the exception of some minor paint touchups, since its creation.

With Appalachian State's move to the Sun Belt Conference, it is rumored this may be an end to long running rivalry between two of the top Western North Carolina Colleges!
