Didn't see a thread.
So who saw the Michigan game?
Sounded like a terrific game but nobody anticipated that it would be a contest or else it would have been a national broadcast.

I was surprised to see Mizzou as a 6 point favorite. They shouldn't be giving more than 2-3 IMO.Damn blocked punt for a TD.
C'mon MIZZOU!!!

What a fiasco of an opening weekend for me already.
First, Syracuse gets embarrassed on national TV Friday night. Now Michigan and my hometown boy Hart lose to a I-AA team.
The horror, the horror. Does anyone have a spare paper shopping bag handy?
Take care,
PK

Hmmm, I thought it was supposed to be March Madness, not September inSanity. Congrats to the Apps. They have really built a 1-AA powerhouse in Boone. They might be the best program in the Carolinas over the past decade (which admittedly isn't saying much!). In fact, the 1A teams here don't schedule them anymore for fear of embarassment!

Which doesn't mean dick considering it was a I-AA opponent and Michigan's season basically is over Sept. 1.wco81 wrote:Hart had 3 TDs and like 180 yards tho.
Pathetic.
At least Notre Dame is losing. That provides some comfort.

We don't get the Big Ten Network here on Comast because of the BTN's ridiculous demand to be on basic cable at $1.10 a subscriber per month. Comcast wants to put the channel as part of a $5 sports tier that includes 3 Fox College Sports channels, NBATV, the NFL network, GolTV, and Fox Soccer Channel. That makes perfect sense to me. 90% of people here don't even care about any other college sports in the Big Ten except football and even the ones that do care probably don't want to have EVERY subsriber pay $14 a year for 3 Penn State football games vs. crappy teams...especially when you consider there are over 100,000 people going to the games anyway.
I can't believe Appalachian State can do something that Penn State hasn't done in a decade...beat Michigan
I'm really surprised Michigan couldn't get some more time added to the clock ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)

You must have missed the part where Mizzou is considered a favorite by many to win the Big 12 north this year and have a shot at a BCS game.RobVarak wrote:tjung0831 wrote:Just finished....what a game by App St! Major upset!

I agree. Little school in the NW mountains of North Carolina heads into Ann Arbor. Outplays the Wolverines most of the game. Gives up a great touchdown run by Hart and falls behind late. No timeouts on their own 26 with a little over a minute to play trailing the Wolverines in the Big House. Drive down and score to take the lead then block a GW Field Goal attempt and knock off the number 5 team in the country. Yep that's pretty big.Bill_Abner wrote:It's arguably the biggest in the history of the sport.sportdan30 wrote:Possibly the biggest upset of the year! Unbelievable.
Funny thing is I am a Michigan man and am happy for my friends in Boone. We lived an hour from Appy St. We had season tickets the last 2 years. The Mountaineers became my favorite 1-AA team. I love that place. Kid Brewer Stadium(The Rock) is a great place to watch college football. I never thought I would see them play Michigan let alone beat them in the Big House. Wow.

I agree about the Big Ten network, it is definitely cool. I didn't realize they were going to show games on multiple channels, I believe they had four different early games on at the same time today on DTV channels 218-222. It will be like a free NFL sunday ticket for Big Ten fans. I noticed that the ESPN highlights of the Michigan game were in HD though, are there cable companies that are carrying the network in HD?
And Leebo, they are having the same problems with our local cable company here in Iowa. It is the same deal where Mediacom here wants to place the network on their digital sports addon tier, but the Big Ten will only agree to let them carry the channel if it is on the basic cable tier. Mediacom has basically no leverage here in Iowa though, since Iowa football is probably the only reason many people even have cable in the first place.
