That's Why You Will Not Survive

Congratulations to the University of Michigan college football team, who became the first nationally ranked team to lose to a Division Formerly Known As I-AA team when Boone, NC's own Appalachian State took them down 34-32 in Ann Arbor.

Granted, App State is a two-time defending I-AA champion who could probably beat half the I-A teams. But still... Michigan? Really? I'd expect Vandy to lose to a I-AA team (we have a shot tonight against Richmond). The preseason #5 team in the country? Not so much. Hell, the only thing in which App State is nationally ranked is the number of hippies per capita.

Next step? For Wolverine Nation to say to Lloyd Carr: "Don't let the door hit you where App State just kicked you."

It's days like this that I'm just a little bit embarrassed to be a UM alumn...

Way to go with the Spoon reference.

Well said Jeff. I have to admit I also feel a bit of shame that my present school also fell victim to a 1-AA squad, but we never claimed to have national championship aspirations. Hopefully App St. will also put a damper on the overzealous Big 11 fans who insist they have the best conference in the land.
