The Battle for the Old Mountain Jug is the name given to an American college football game played annually between two universities, Appalachian State and Western Carolina.

Resembling a moonshine jug, the Old Mountain Jug, the trophy awarded to the winner since 1976, is painted gold with Appalachian State's mascot, a Mountaineer, and Western Carolina's mascot, a Catamount, on opposing sides.[1]

The rivalry had natural origins. Appalachian and Western were the only public colleges in the western half of North Carolina for decades and made similar steps to their present status as comprehensive regional universities. Both basically recruited athletes from the same high schools in the early years and their graduates were, in large part, public school teachers. The alumni of the schools found themselves working together, which helped foster the rivalry.[1]

Prior to the game in 1976,[2] the idea was pitched of heightening the long-standing rivalry. The jug idea was presented to alumni of both universities and the Sports Information Directors were charged with drumming up media exposure. The jug was donated by Roby Triplet, the manager of the Appalachian State Bookstore. It weighs approximately 25 pounds and is capped with a traditional cork. Dee Triplet, Roby's wife, painted the jug. Excluding minor touchups, the jug and its logos have not been altered since their creation.[3]

In the mid-1980s, the series was mentioned as "the best football rivalry you've never heard of" by Sports Illustrated.[4] The 1979 game was the second-ever live broadcast on the ESPN sports network.[4]
