      To have your national championship hopes dashed by a 1-AA school.

      Heard on Fox Sports Radio this a.m. that App. St. got $400K to come to the Big House to be the sacrificial lamb.

      U of M spent a whole lot of jack to get their season flushed down the toilet.

      Will they be howlin' for Lloyd Carr's head tonight in Ann Arbor!!!!
      Rumor mill has it that it is Carr's last year anyway. But still how do you lose to such a small school. The year is lost right after the first game.

        For a division IAA team, App state is good. They're 2-time defending champions, and they've been in the mix for the championship every year for a while now.

        The thing I don't quite get is what is Michigan thinking bringing in a IAA team that's not used to losing and isn't going to be afraid of you. Wouldn't they be better off bringing in a bad division I team that's used to losing to the big boys and is likely to be intimidated? I mean, at least if you lose to the latter team you don't have the stigma of losing to a Div IAA team.

        Particularly since everyone and their brother knew that although Michigan has a promising offense this year, they're at best suspect defensively. If you're going to be bring in a sacrificial lamb for a tune-up, don't bring in a sacrificial lamb with an explosive, dynamic offense. A fair bit of the shame in maize and blue today falls to the AD making a mistake scheduling this team in this game.

          In the eyes of the public, all I-AA teams are the same. It doesn't matter which one it is. You're supposed to beat them.

          So why bring in the best of the I-AA? It's more risk and no more reward.

            Michigan may still be the best team in college football.

            College football needs a playoff.

            How would you like it if the Packers had a clunker game on opening day, and it eliminated them from playoff consideration?

              That very well may happen.

              Kidding.

              The problem with a "playoff" scenario is that they have to play more games. Isn't the most important thing for these guys to be in class and get a degree?

              How do "playoffs" help that?

                  I take it back. Congratulations to Jason Hunter (A. State alumnus) for making the team again. I guess 2 things went right for you today!

                    Same thing with Mason Crosby. Crosby's team (Colorado) won on a FG in Overtime.

                          Because I'm afraid more of those pendejos will wind up like Mark Gastineau and you and I will wind up SUPPORTING them...

                            I'm a Michigan grad and I used to be a fan, but I often find Michigan fans to be obnoxious and very much fair-weather. Thus over the years I have become much less a passionate fan of that program. This is mostly due to the many whiny fans. They complain incessantly and seem to forget that these players are a bunch of 20 year old kids. So the fans have turned me off from this program.

                            In fact, I must say I kind of am glad App State won. Why not? Let the little team knock of the smug IA team. It's more fun than Michigan winning a squeaker and the fans bitching anyway.
