All I know is Appalachian State is Hot, Hot, Hot. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=pVENWl8uBeg)

:Music



(Even when the weather is cold, cold, cold.)

[CoveMom]

Where in the devil is Appalachian? I thought there were only 50 states? :D

[DrEdward]

Boone, North Carolina. Really a very pretty place. Have a really good friend on the faculty there.

sorry, DrE. I had my sarcasm meter turned up. I was just playing on the "State" part of the title. You know as in:

Is Appalachian a right-on-red state? (you youngsters won't get that)
:D

I understand. No problem and I got the what state part. But then, you or someone else may not have known about the secret that is Boone.

[CoveMom]

I happen to be one of those folks who think that all of North Carolina is gogeous except for most of FayettNAM (Fayetteville/Fort Bragg) and the 30 feet on either side of I-95. I've driven that one (or a hundred) too many times.

[slorch]

Appalachian State- home to former Red raider coach Jerry Moore and Cowboys LB Dexter Coakley. Ok, so you don't love it because of those two reasons?:D

[mad_fan]

Where in the devil is Appalachian? I thought there were only 50 states? :D

It's more a state-of-mind...than a state-of-being....

[cajun]

14-14 2nd quarter....

Not a bad start by the little guys...:D

[mad_fan]

I'm fully prepared to LMAO...

21-14 Appalachian

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Make that 21-14.. in favor of A-State Uni...

Ummm... :eek:

If Michigan loses (or even wins by less than 42 pts) I will never, positively, speak of the Big Ten again.

[cajun]

2nd Quarter

Appalachian State 21
Michigan 14

[F18mustang]

Wow:eek:

[K-Rock]

Would this be the upset of the year?

[mad_fan]

But they have their own NETWORK on DirecTv now...:eek:
BTN Channel 220...

[mad_fan]

Given that it's the first week...I'd guess it would be up there...;)

[K-Rock]

But they have their own NETWORK on DirecTv now...:eek:

Thank you. I am now watching the game. AS is about to score again!!!! :eek:

[K-Rock]

App St SCORES!!!!!!!!!! 28-14

[mad_fan]

Thank you. I am now watching the game. AS is about to score again!!!! :eek:

God invented DirecTv for football...just not Texas football...:mad:

[K-Rock]

God invented DirecTv for football...just not Texas football...:mad:

Why not have a Big XII station?

[cajun]

Appalachian State 28
Michigan 14

I honestly thought this would be a closer game than people thought...

I had no idea just how close...:D

Unreal!

[JMSFan]

The Big House is Big Quiet right now.

[DragonBand06]

28-17 App State
HALF!!!

[svhorns]

wow... no freaking way... im speechless

[svhorns]

someone go to ESPN.com real quick and check out the scoreboard... it says Morelli the QB for Penn St. has 592 passing yards at the half...??????

[FarmerFootballPlayer]

There are no words for this... 28-20 now for App State.

When you click on it, in the box score, PSU QB has only 240 yards

[svhorns]

There are no words for this... 28-20 now for App State.

When you click on it, in the box score, PSU QB has only 240 yards

Yea I saw that I was too in awe to click on it at first

[JMSFan]

The WR drops the sure touchdown. Still get the FG tho... 31-20

[cajun]

Appalachian State 31
Michigan 20

No fluke here...Michigan cannot stop Appalachian State....

[F18mustang]

Id be pretty sick if I were a Michigan fan right now.

[FarmerFootballPlayer]

Id be pretty sick if I were a Michigan fan right now.

Wow... If they lose, how do you salvage that season?

[JMSFan]

Wow... If they lose, how do you salvage that season?

Are quality wins still a factor in the BCS? If Michigan ends up losing, then that will affect anyone else who beats them this season too.

[F18mustang]

High expectations shot down in the first week, but hey, they could come back. Hope im not jumping the gun.

[svfootball45]

wow there is no this is happenening. WTF? is going on.
if michigan loses this game thier National champoinship hopes are dead.
wow

[JMSFan]

Too many 3 and outs for AS. I say Michigan grinds it out on the ground and squeaks away with the win.

[KT2000]

ASU had a golden chance to put together a game sealing drive just now. It looks like the defense will have to win it.

[svfootball45]

TD michigan
Hart is a hiesman candidate.

[JMSFan]

Still a 1 point game. ASU still has a chance. I dont see it happening though. They have wasted too many oppurtunities so far.

[Favpack]

TD michigan
Hart is a hiesman candidate.

Michigan is a joke - they should drop out of the top 25 with this showing - regardless of the outcome.

Mich -33 App. St. - 31.

[svfootball45]

interception.
no way AS is winngin now.

[JMSFan]

interception.
niw way AS is winngin now.


Yep, I think that sealed it there. I agree with Favpack though. Michigan shouldnt even be sniffing the top ten after today.

[Favpack]

I like Michigan - no hater here. But, mark this down as a loss plain and simple - what a joke. AS, a D1AA team, had multiple chances to put this one away.

[KT2000]

Holy crap.

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Apple-something State just beat Michigan!!!!

[Favpack]

Apple-something State just beat Michigan!!!!

Is it over!!??? 15 seconds left I think - FG kicked by App. State - YES

wow - this is just surreal. I might start betting games guys - that would have made you a mint! (just kidding)

[JMSFan]

WOW....Just when you think youve seen it all

[DragonBand06]

34-32 FINAL!!!
Blocked FG to win it!~

[F18mustang]

Man o man! Crazy! :eek:

[KT2000]

My alma mater did pretty good didn't they? The coaching staff has Texan roots in Jerry Moore. He is from Bonham.

ASU is actually the third largest public school in NC behind UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State. It is the NC equivalent of Texas State here. It is called a state university because it is part of the University of North Carolina system. It was a small teachers' school as early as the mid 90s, but it's grown a lot in the last 10 years.

[Favpack]

Carr may be gone tomorrow - and I'm not joking.

And, what's up with Ap. State not taking a couple of knees before kicking? Good grief - is this junior high ball. Who cares! They won.

[syzygy]

I said Michigan would be overrated going into the season, but I never would have guessed Apple State would have beat them.

[Texasfrog]

Funny, Funny, Funny... I know that Appla St is a damn good D-1AA program but no way should they be able to go into the Big House and knock off Michigan..

This is funny.. FUNNY !!

[chhspantherfan]

its over, how about those Texas high school ties with Jerry Moore!!!!!!

[DrEdward]

The boys from Boone did good!!!

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Though, I'm not a Michigan fan to begin with...
Goodbye Michigan... I don't want to hear from you for another 20 years!!!

[Favpack]

Though, I'm not a Michigan fan to begin with...
Goodbye Michigan... I don't want to hear from you for another 20 years!!!

Sad but true. I'd fire Carr today and start re-building tomorrow. I do feel for him, but my gosh - this is THE biggest upset in a decade!

[GTown02]

Didnt see this upset coming! Holy crap!:eek:

[syzygy]

This is crazy.

How soon do you all think Michigan will get rid of Carr?

What impact does this loss have on potential recruits like Sam McGuffie?

[Mad Hatter]

tell ya what app state might acctually have been the faster team which is pretty amazing. I know carr was already on the hot seat but now im not sure he needs to be the head coach anymore...if hes not fired this week this will be his last year... i wonder what those mich almuni are saying to themselves at the moment lol.

[jrock210]

I was surprised when I saw the score. My Dad in kuwait was so happy lol

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

McGuffie might wanna re-think his decision. I just saw what happened. If Carr does not beat OSU i think he will be fired after the season.

[jtk1519]

I'm sorry pack, but...

(Even when the weather is cold, cold, cold.)

that's like a cross between The mickey Mouse Club and summer Church Camp.

'tis the home of Dexter Coakley, so it can't be all bad. Also former Red Raider coach Jerry Moore.

[slorch]

michigan choked on their cupcake.

I love it.

[cajun]

michigan choked on their cupcake.

I love it.

Me too...:D

Appalachian State ain't a bad team, still what they did today was unreal AT Michigan...

[TheBigPeach]

ALL HAIL APPALACHIAN STATE!!!! I just got back from the Georgia vs. Okla St. Game and was laughing all the way home

[78 Spartan]

Cajun, you get the goldest of gold stars for calling this one. Can you imagine the odds you could have gotten in Vegas for betting this one straight up?

However, I gotta tell you, App State would beat a LOT of teams in the top twenty -- they are THAT good.

Check the stats in that game -- very even. I don't think it was a fluke.

[Pearland Longhorn]

If you go to Sam Mcguffies myspace you'll see some pretty pathetic Michigan fans leaving him comments about the game. You'll also notice that all 50 comments on his page are from guys..

[TheBigPeach]

I'm sorry pack, but...

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2313/bigtensucks2ou2.jpg

Im sorry but, The Big 12 isnt any better.

I say put them in the top 25...:D

If Appalachian State lose next week to Lenoir-Rhyne they may vote Michigan out of the Big 10...(lol)

Only thing is they have to kick out the Minnesota Golden Gophers who lost to Bowling Green today 32-31..

Not a great day for the Big 10....

You are right about Appalachian State...They could beat alot of big name schools...Alot of talent on that team..Alot of team speed...

I really had no idea Appalachian State would actually win..I did think it would be closer than people thought...

Appalachian State gave us a good game in 2005 if you remember...We finally won 24-0...Wasn't pretty!...Auburn beat Appalachian State 15-7 in 2000 or 1999, I forget...They can play...I think people will think twice before scheduling them as a first game gimma...

Good to see too!!...

[TheBigPeach]

I want them in playing with the big boys every week now! Lets just throw them in the ACC or Big East.

[CCDawg]

I told you Appalachian was hot, hot, hot. :D

[jtk1519]

Im sorry but, The Big 12 isnt any better.

Bark up another tree. I've been saying the Big XII sucks for a while now.

[pack0808]

And yet Michigan still absolutely owns the SEC and is the winningest program in div1a college football history! :eek:

[pack0808]

michigan choked on their cupcake.

I love it.


TT is like 1-5 vs the Big10 and it took a miracle comeback vs the Gophers to get that one win. LOL If you make fun of Michigan then you are only making fun of yourself.

[farmerfan]

If I were a MeatChicken fan....I would tell my wife to take care of the kids...and I would jump off of a really tall building.....seriously.

[pack0808]

I agree it is embarrassing and one of the biggest upsets in college football history. Hell Ark St. almost did the same thing to UT tonight.

easy............................easy....
No arky lite did NOT "almost" do the same thing. That game was never in question....
Texas looked like hell....but it was NEVER in question.

I just saw the final and was shocked.

Agreed. The final score looked much worse than it really was. Texas didn't play well, but the game was never in question.

[Texasfrog]

I see that Tim Washington (Dulles HS & LSU transfer) is playing DE for Appalachian St now. He had a few tackles against Michigan.

He was a Texas Top 100 player coming out of Dulles HS a few years back.

[stevefoxsc]

though i am a Michigan fan, this was just embarrassing... BIG TIME lloyd car kiss your job good bye. Cause if he is still there man there will be some serious issues at UM.

[toddg]

michigan looked slow...

[Firebird]

All I have to add is this....

If I am doing the scheduling, I would much, much rather play lower tier division bowl division teams than a top tier Championship division team. Some folks seem to have the idea that championship ball is automatically worse than bowl football. Not the case. With the new rules, all that you have to do if you really, really want to be bowl division is averge 15,000 fans for home games (in actual or paid attendace) every two years and be willing to spend the big bucks cash.

The better championship division teams average more fans and have better athletes on the field than programs like FIU, Temple, Buffalo, etc. Not to mention that teams like App. State come in with a winner's attitude.

That's not to say that Michigan shouldn't have mopped the floor with them. Still, Appalachian State could stay on the field with lots and lots of major programs.

[Firebird]

One more thing....I think it is awesome that Michigan paid Appalaichan 400 G's to come to Ann Arbor and beat the Wolverines down in their home opener. That's gotta sting the AD.

[rancher52]

I hope this isn't a repeat but I saw this on their roster as well:
Ward, Jay (http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/153078)WR5-10165Fr (HS)Southlake, TX (Carroll HS)

I am not sure I know who this kid is?

Okay, someone from Southlake tell me who this is? He is listed on the roster this year as a Freshman at Appalachian State. I checked the last on-line roster I had for Southlake last year and found no one by that name. Any of you SLCers know this guy?

[Texasfrog]

You're kidding right? Regardless of what any other team last year, or last week, this is the biggest upset in college football history. I don't care how good Apple state might actually be, it is a 1AA (or whatever it's called now) team going INTO THE BIGHOUSE and beating a Michigan team that had legit national title hopes before the season started. And it's not like App state played flawless football, they made plenty of mistakes to let Michigan right back in the game. IMO hands down the biggest upset in college football history.

Normy Hitzges has a Monday Top 10 poll, based on what teams have actually done thruout the season rather than influenced by preseason rankings. He had California # 3, for instance, as a result of their showing against Tennessee.

His number # 1 team for this past week ? Appalachian St., of course.;)

[reed35]

this was funny
