Since childhood, back in the days when Jamie Morris and current Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh were suiting up for the Michigan Wolverines, I was sucked in despite living in the 'burbs of Chicago. Became a fan and have stayed that way for the next couple of decades, albeit not as rabid since I went to a different learning institution of higher education.
Today, something utterly shocking occured. Michigan lost its season opener to Appalachain St. 34-32!!??!!
I know, I know- my wife asked it too...where's Appalachain State? It's a I-AA school in North Carolina- they're pretty good at football, winning the last two I-AA National Championships ......but to defeat a Big Ten team, let alone one ranked #5 in the country is beyond hopes and prayers. Big schools shcedule these teams as laughers- warm up ames, really!
Well, congrats to APP State...they are the first I-AA team to EVER defeat a ranked division one school (yup...I said ever---long time for football, I know). 109,000 people at The Big House never sounded so quiet!
Not sure whose souls are headed to this guy ------> But it does make for a fantastic David vs. Goliath tale
