Appalachian State!!!!

[JackN]

Wow, way to go Michigan, you didn't even wait until the Big Ten season to blow your title dreams (not that I thought they would win it, USC, LSU, and L-Ville are much better). That defense was untested and still learning, but Appalachian State, excellent. On a local sports talk radio show they were guessing what game Michigan might lose, Wisconsin, Penn State, that Scarlet and Gray team, but no one called in and said Appalachian State. Hart had a pretty good game, but other than him no one else played spectacularly. Great job by APP State, they played excellent and slayed the mighty Goliath.

App State aint no joke.
They won the last two 1-AA national championships. So how soon before they pull a MArshall and move to division I?

Alright, so all this hooting and hollering (and a desire to check the USC vs. Louisiana-Lafayette score) led me to look at ESPN.com's video of it.

Dang.

I was superbly happy, until I watched the Tennessee/Cal game... talk about no defense.

I was at the Stanford-UCLA game, so I didn't get a chance to see this one, but they announced the final score over the stadium PA and everyone went nuts. Nobody could believe it.

Wonder what the over/under is on weeks before Lloyd Carr is fired?

I would call for his termination right now. That is ridiculous. I could have coached that talented Michigan team to a win...

On another note: Notre Dame got it handed to them today! Don't ND and Michigan play? That's going to be a sloppy game, I think.

Notre Dame (or "Notre Lame" as they are sometimes referred to) is also grossly overrated.

Only if he loses to Ohio State.

good thing i am a state fan
or i would be devistated.
henny is a horrible quarterback,
people were wondering what happened to the defence...
i know exactly were it went....
the draft.
hart is decent, hes not the best
like every one says he is.
it made me laugh
when my dad told me that score.
LETS GO STATE!! haha

If they fire Lloyd Carr, they are insane. Lloyd Carr didn't make Brandon Minor fumble constantly, or kick it right into the hands of defenders twice. As a whole, Appalachian State may not be as talented as Michigan, but they proved that they had a couple players as fast (actually faster) than Michigan, and lined them up in a spread offense to utilize that speed. And I've seen enough West Virginia games to understand that speed+spread offense=points. And Michigan just didn't play well enough on offense (mainly with Brandon Minor, when Mike Hart came back they improved) to outscore App. State, especially when you factor in the two blocked field goals and two failed conversions.

This just makes me wonder if Appy State is going to roll right through the D-1AA season. They win again, I think they may end up taking a D-1A spot next year... say, Buffalo. LOL.

Aren't the divisions based on the size of the schools, not the success of the programs?

No, its not like high schools there are different criteria. There are many bigger D1AA schools than some D1A schools

[xzvrw2]

to go from D-II to D-I, yes, it is on size, but D-IAA to D-IA it is about skillz.
yes with a z.
and michigan will not fire a coach. they will not fire car, which is stupid.

I think he's gone at the end of the season regardless of what happens.

3 straight losses to OSU. 3 straight bowl game losses. He's been on the hot seat for awhile. His seat is now fiery.
