They just lost an asset. Their punter is damn good, and his last two kicks have been 20-30 yard dinks toward the sideline. What a weapon.

Michigan fans are on suicide watch, lol.

I still can't believe that happened. If Michigan doesn't beat Ohio State this year, I just don't see how Carr will survive there.

appalachian state?

huge win for that program. everyone knows them now.

TheKilo · 09-03-2007, 12:24 PM

They're not going to fire Carr. If they don't beat OSU they can only hope he resigns.

It's not like it was Western Carolina or any other I-AA school that beat Michigan. This was the two-time I-AA champions that went to Ann Arbor and held on to beat the Wolverines.

Is the APP/MICH game a bigger upset than Chaminade 25 years ago?

That blocked field goal never should have happened. If you watch it, one of the Wolverines on the left side (where the App. State defender came from who blocked the kick) fucked up his assignment. The coaches ALWAYS, ALWAYS teach you on the field goal unit to take your first step INSIDE (so your feet form a wide base) so you don't get beat there. You always make the defender(s) go around you to the outside, because they won't get to the holder in time. If they get inside of you, they'll be there quicker than you can say "crap". The player stepped to the OUTSIDE instead because that's where the guy on his head was. If he just stepped inside, that guy on his head would have had to go around him to the outside and the guy who blocked the kick never would have gotten through that open hole because he would have run into the guy who was blocking instead. That's just a stupid fundamental error on the Wolverines' part.

Now, obviously it's not a given that the kicker even makes the field goal, but the kick would have gotten off clean and had a chance if he just did what he was taught.

How about that DeSean Jackson (Cal's punt returner)? What a sick return.

i think its bigger than chaminade if only because its michigan football
if chaminade beat say a duke team then maybe
plus back then they didnt use a shot clock so the tempo can be controlled if you had a set of guards who could handle the ball.
lets face it
virginia hoop had 3 great years with ralphie boy sampson and disappeared from the elite
michigan is a top 5 team every single year in september
app state didnt get lucky,they slapped michigan in the mouth
160 yards rushing??
34 points in the big house??
2 blocked kicks in the last 3 minutes??
a 50 yard completion in the last 40 seconds to set up the game winner??

all very improbable and unthinkable occurances
this is a once in a lifetime happenin that we may never see again

I'm going to make a bold prediction -- Michigan wins the Big Ten. Write it down.

See Red · 09-04-2007, 03:58 PM

Michigan went from #5 to out of the polls completely. It's well deserved, too.

You have balls the size of church bells if you call the Big 11 for Michigan.

This weekend was a perfect example of how pre-season polls are useless. At least the BCS waits until the middle of the season to start ranking teams.

Mr Crunchy · 09-05-2007, 08:33 AM

ohio state isnt getting any respect this season being at #11 and this was a non conference loss as pathetic as it was so outside the obvious ""dont pick them they suck"" its not such an outrageous prediction
im leaning toward wisconsin
they were playing some good football and may have been a title contender last year if given the shot

If I'm wrong, oh well, figured I would be. But if I'm right... I'm a genius.

I'm going to go ahead and mark my calendar for the Louisville/WVU matchup. Louisville scored 73 last week and has 38 in the first half tonight. I think WVU put up high-60's last week. Barn burner, and last year's game was excellent.

Mr Crunchy · 09-07-2007, 08:26 AM

its like basketball only easier to score
they had at 1 pt last nite 13 straight scoring drives and it be more than that now
unreal
but when the likes of mid tenn state are hanging 40??
then you may need to step back
