Appalachian St Kicks Liberal Michigan's BU##!

That’s what you deserve when you re-elect Granholm as governor.

[Swanks]

And Wake Forest [down the street from App State] is up 14-0 vs Boston College. And NC State plays and UNC plays tonite. Great NC football day ping....

Hsu Cares !!!!!!...:*)

Huskies beat the hapless Oranges last night.

Oh. My. GOD. They are going insane a few hours west of here in Boone right now, I’ll bet.

This gives me hope that my preseason I-AA #8 James Madison Dukes can walk into the People’s Republic of Chapel Hill tonight and slap down the UNC Tarheels!

Correction:
Division I-FCS, not I-AA. As in Football Championship Subdivision.

Learn it. Love it.

Go Mountaineers! Go FCS!!!

By far one of the biggest upsets around--well, actually not given that Appalachian State DID win the NCAA Division 1-AA championship last year (e.g, not exactly a pushover).

[hole_n_one]

Someone should really start a weekly thread on FR that deals with all the college football games played during that particular week.

[Pappy Smear]

I hardly think it is the biggest upset in college football history. Appy has won the last 2 1-AA championships. I would wager to say they have in the neighborhood of the 40 to 50th best team in the country in all divisions. And the B10/11 is always ranked high at the start of the season, just because of their name.

Upset yes. Biggest upset, nah.

I watched much of it, fun game.

Congrats to App St....wherever that is. That FG kicker is gonna have a rough night.

[jmyrlefuller]

It’s still AA to me.

When the big schools join this “FCS” division, then I’ll change my position.

[filbert]

You still call Division 2 the “College Division” then? ;-)

Doesn’t matter. It’s a huge win for the little guys against the big guys. That’s always fun to see.

I am sooo excited! Saw the game on DirecTV. I live in Boone and the town is going crazy.

A Michigan fan told our radio sports page (talk radio) that Michigan considered the game a scrimmage game for Michigan. Cockiness will get you to lose. Go ASU!!!!

[fkabuckeyesrule]

*****It’s still AA to me.****

Speaking of AA that might be where alot of Michigan fans are going. Just kidding!

[Red_Devil 232]

So what was the score?

[Moose4]

ASU reminds me a little of those old powerhouse Georgia Southern I-AA championship teams a few years back. They’re just running a couple of notches higher than everybody else.

Was the Big House sold out for that game? Man, I can’t even imagine what that must’ve looked and sounded like, 100,000+ Michigan fans watching a “lowly” I-AA team beat the mighty Wolverines. (And if nothing else, if you prove you’re from ASU, you can probably get free beers in Columbus, Ohio right about now! :) )

[Moose4]

34-32, ASU.

[Red_Devil 232]

With a score like that it must have been an exciting game!

[GraniteStateConservative]

Thanks, Appalachian State!
