Appalachian State’s upset of Michigan is The Game of the Century. By far there hasn’t been a bigger upset in the last 7 years (hence the Century term). Put strictly in historical terms:
Appalachian State has a winning record against the University of Michigan.
This is just another reason why College Football is the greatest sport ever. Meanwhile, ESPN is attempting to break into my football watching for the second consecutive night to show me a potential no hitter. Who cares. Wins & Loses. That’s all that matters. Ask formerly #5 Michigan.
Michigan Head Coach Lloyd Carr after the game:
“I’ve never been part of a loss that wasn’t miserable, and I don’t think I ever will be.”
You’ve also never beaten Appalachian State.
This is just one more reason why you shouldnt root for Michigan. No one can really consider themselves a respectable program if they lose opening week, when ranked #5 in the country, on the shoulders of three retuning seniors that could have easily entered the draft but proclaimed they had “unfinished business” with my boys and hopes of a national title. Maybe they’ll get lucky and make the Alamo Bowl…….terrible…..Go Buckeyes
