APP ST UPSETS MICHIGAN!!!!

[BallHawk]

I just want to point out I called this one two weeks ago.

Were you drunk ?

Most probably. About as drunk as when he took Tennessee's defense in the draft last night.

"If it interferes with their studies, then YES, cancel them". :P

If you want to do something SIGNIFICANT to help educate the football boys, make freshmen ineligible. Let them ALL redshirt and get a solid foundation academically.

I hate to see true freshman suited-up to play in September. Christ, most of them are too skinny, and they haven't had a chance to adjust to college life/pressures.

(Having a handful of teams play in January, when most are on vacation anyway, or just starting semesters, really is not a big intrusion educationally.)

Go for it! I just know that the world doesn't like change.

Freshmen used to be ineligible to play. They changed it around the time that the NFL started cannibalizing the college ranks.

I'm waiting for highschool kids to start turning pro. What with human growth hormone, why wait?

How was Michigan ranked #5 to begin with? Reputation pick.

Because they have a really good offense. Two Heisman hopefuls in Henning and Hart

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?

I wholeheartedly agree. I would have much rather have seen this loss put on an even more arrogant team like ND. But Michigan has gotten pretty full of themselves of late, so they deserve a good spanking. And for shit's sake, it's time for Carr to go. This will assure that he will be gone.

IF you really care about education, let players use up their elgibility, play their four years and come back to take classes after their playing career is over. What often happens is that guys piss away their classes focusing on football and end up with a worthless degree and no skills. If they finish playing ball and still have their academic college career in front of them, more guys might see the value of getting a good education and be able to focus on it. The guys who want to attend classes while they play could still do so.

Totally agree - and, no less, as someone who teaches football players at PSU. Where, incidentally, JoePa, doesn't much let his players get away with that crap.

Yes, DI football players are privileged - but they are just as much exploited by the system, too. They deserve their free education for the average of $1 million that each DI player brings in.

By the way, I am ecstatic that Michigan lost - ha ha ha, nyah, nyah, nyah - but let's keep in mind that yes, these are all just students.

[FavreChild]

Um....by the way....Badgers rule, and so do PACKERRATS.

[BF4MVP]

I'm pretty sure App State beating Michigan would be like a 16 seed beating a 1 seed in the NCAA tourney..

It just doesn't happen..

They'd better be out of the top 25.

Next week, the Oregon Ducks travel to Ann Arbor to play the Wolverines.

I predict Carr and the Michegan players will be hell bent to destroy the Ducks. Michigan by 17 points.

[Rastak]

Mind blowing....

[Kiwon]

"Happy Appy" as they're known and now they have a legitimate reason to celebrate.

Huge moment for them.

I can't believe Michigan lost! At least the Badgers won. I like both teams. When I started getting interested in college football I was living in Michigan and went to a few games at Ann Arbor. It is probably the 2nd best place to watch a game after Lambeau field.
