The Battle for the Old Mountain Jug is a football game played annually between Appalachian State and Western Carolina. Resembling a moonshine jug, the Old Mountain Jug is painted gold with Appalachian's mascot, a Mountaineer, and Western Carolina's mascot, a Catamount, on opposing sides.
Prior to the game in 1978, Yosef Club Director Wayne Clawson and Cat Club Director Tom Bommer pitched the idea of heightening the long-standing rivalry. The jug idea was presented to alumni of both universities and Rick Layton, Sports Information Director at Appalachian, and Steve White, SID at Western Carolina, were charged with drumming up media exposure.
The jug was donated by Roby Triplet, the manager of the Appalachian Bookstore. The jug weighs approximately 25 pounds and is capped with a tradtional cork. Dee Triplet, Roby's wife, painted the jug. Excluding minor touchups, the jug and its logos have not been altered since their creation. [1]
