Upset City
by Jay (Blue-Gray Sky) 390 days ago, September 5, 2007
One of our longtime readers, Dan, is a rabid Irish fan who also happens to be an Appalachian State grad. He and his friends road tripped all the way to Ann Arbor from North Carolina for the game against Michigan last Saturday. He sent us this report. I won't bother discussing details of the game as that is available everywhere on the net. But just a bit of a back drop, Appalachian State has played Div I BCS teams pretty regularly for 20 years More...

Cool story. Funny he mentioned how quite the Big House was. I remember it being that way in 2005 when ND went in there a won the game. The feeling of being on the winning end of a game like that is priceless.
A win over PSU this Saturday and I would feel about the same way.

That was a great story wasn't it stonebreaker22. I've got to post this list for everyone to get a good chuckle. The amount of flak scUM is catching over the "upset of the millennium" is beautiful...and well deserved.
LLoyd's top ten reasons for the loss:
1. We shouldn't have put Marques Slocum in charge of the game plan.
2. Our players thought it was a bowl game.
3. Mountaineer Bob was screwing with the clock.
4. Mike Hart was pre-occupied all summer trying to learn how to spell
"General Studies."
5. Michigan is a basketball school.
6. If I didn't lose one of these games once in a while, those darn
devoted and loyal fans we have might never let me retire.
7. The Appalachian State guys didn't smell very good and our sensitive
young scholar athletes were reluctant to block or tackle them.
8. Appalachian State is the Alma Mater of a large number of executives
at Wal-Mart, of which the University of Michigan is a wholly-owned
subsidiary.
9. Our players were exhausted from having to lug around their four and
five stars all the time.
10. Chris Webber forgot to call timeout.

Hilarious list Carms. I guess it's time to pile on old scUM.

Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius
(Reaaaaaal Men of Genius)
Today we salute you, Mr. Delusional Michigan Fan (Mr. Delusional Michigan Faaaaaan!)
Season after season, year after year, you try to justify your absurdly high preseason ranking (clutching at straws!)
Season after season, year after year, you scramble to make futile attempts at damage control when the Wolverines lose to a grossly inferior opponent (How'd Appalachian State score Thirty Fouuuuur?)
Inevitably, you'll bring up the past, boast of National Championships won 40 years before you were born (those were the daaaaaays!)
You will point out that you have more wins than any other program as though that is relevant to the current season (been playing since the 1870's)
Go on, ignore that loss to Ohio State in the regular season finale and continue to believe that you'll defeat your bowl opponent with striking ease (we'll win by thirteeeeeey!)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Emperor of Excuses, and take comfort knowing that when you finish ranked number twenty, you'll be back to number five when the preseason polls come out next year (Mr. Delusional Michigan Fan!)
