Appalachian State beats Michigan: Five Thoughts

If your fan enough of college football to read this blog, you know by now that Appalachian State beat Michigan today 34-32 in the biggest upset in college football history, at least in terms of stature of programs. I caught some of the game at Buffalo Wild Wings on my way to my fantasy football draft.

Here is the blocked field goal that won the game for Appy State:


The first thought is Chad Henne, Mike Hart (who had a monster game by the way), and Jake Long all passed up the NFL to come back to win a National Championship. That mission has been blown in the first week.

The second thought is why Michigan would schedule the Division I Football Championship Subdivision defending National Champions on the first game.

The third thought is the ridiculous term "Football Championship Subdivision" has gotten more play today than any other time since its inception.

The fourth thought is this was a great first game for the new "Big Ten Network" even if the Big Ten got a little embarrassed....okay very embarrassed.

The fifth and final thought is Hahaha!

Here is the moratorium at "The M Zone"
