HOT HOT HOT! APPALACHIAN STATE 34, MICHIGAN 32.

After Wazzou beats Wisconsin, the Big Ten Network will be annexed by the MAC and will show Toledo games for the rest of the year.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME

Congrats App. State. The tears of Michigan fans at work were sweet, like gum drops and candy canes.

Gimmie a fuckin siren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whoooooooooo!!!
 

(this game was made even sweeter because I got to watch it as the “inaugural broadcast” on the Bigtwleven network. Which begs the question, when is the Southern Conference getting their own network?)

Motherfucker!

HA HA

Here is Coach Carr’s halftime speech, it almost worked….

LC: Come on guys, THIS IS DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL!!!!
Some flunky: Uh coach, App State is not a division one team.
LC: No shit!?!? Damn…. THIS IS DIVISION TWO FOOTBALL!!!!
Same flunky: Coach, App State is not division two either, they are FCS.
LC: ….. (flunky melts from stare)
LC: This is FSC… FCS… fuck it! go play intramurals brother, go play intramurals. In the B leage too, you’re not ready for A.

#2, it’s called CBS I think. Except the last game of the year, then was switch over to FOX of course.

ASU…that game was, well, HOT HOT HOT!

ladies and gentlemen, we have this season’s 8.0 magnitude earthquake here at week one.

I just got back from the gators game, and I could have saved myself a lot of time by just watching the Lincoln Financial broadcast while I stand in front of the oven set on broil with my pants down…. oh yeah, and brandon spikes looks really, really good.

You know, BCS defenders are fond of talking about how the whole season is the tournament.

It’s about time we had a first-day upset.

Even if the Irish go 6-6, a small part of me will look back on this CFB season and smile.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

scgator:

Appy plays in the Southern Conference, not the SEC.

(retard)

BTW, I love how you categorized it as “Your ancestors demand seppuku”

fuck the big televen

That has to be the shittiest shit in the bed in the history of shitting the bed

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Can’t wait to hear Herbstreit’s bullshit after this one!

Maybe Chad Henne was too distracted trying to impregnate his teammate’s girlfriends…

BWAHAHAHA!

Suck.

it.

Michigan.

/fan of bitterly unranked team

BAAAAHAAAAHAHHAHAHA
Can the entire little eleven shut the fuck up.

I thought you would all be kinder to your fellow man. Laugh if you need to. It will make me hurt a bit more, but not much more.

Everything will change.

Everything HAS changed.

Well of course they lost this game, they’ve had like an 8 month layoff since their last game.

Lloyd Carr isn’t fit to coach middle school scrimmages in Canada… Damn this one hurt. But take your proverbial hat off to App. St., that’s a pretty solid team

Michigan DESERVES a rematch!

#21, god yes, a 2nd chance to see the impossible happen.

Click Clack and all

Boise who? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

on the downside, this is going to cause a run on superlatives that will dangerously drain the reserves america’s sportswriters will need to get through the rest of the season.

In course of three magical hours, all the unintentional irony of that song vanished.

CATS AND DOG, LIVING TOGETHER… MASS HYSTERIA!

someonen tell michigan that speed kills.

..can we get a 34-32= Small School Southern Speed Kills T-shirt?

As a Michigan fan, I can truly say, nuts. However, a word of warning to other BCS teams; schedule ASU at your peril. They are a lot better than the Vanderbilts and Michigan States of the world…

I’m going down to the Samurai District to pick up swords in a couple hours, once I get properly liquored up on rotgut soju.

Sweet Gentle Jesus.

I found a radio feed, and that second half was GLORIOUS. There will be destruction in Boone tonight.

Has Lloyd Carr’s head been put on a stick and paraded around Ann Arbor yet?

Stepped on their face with a hobnailed bong and broke their nose.

#5, if you think Carr put that much effort into his halftime speech you are sorely overestimating him. He looked so disinterested after the game… more sleepy than upset.

Lloyd Carr is Gone! Gone! Gone!

I’ll bet Texas Tech is wishing they had held on to Jerry Moore after the 1985 season…

and just think… Appalachian State got paid $400,000 for providing this service.

Well, $400,016, because I’m buying an App State t-shirt and wearing it to the Big House.

It’s a preseason game, for crissakes.

Sheesh.

It’s a pre-season game, for crissakes.

Sheesh.

Obviously, the worst fucking day of my life as a Michigan fan. I am ready and willing to accept any and all criticism regard this game and this team because it is obviously deserved. Unbeliveable how 8 months of waiting and anticipation can be destroyed in 3 hours. No excuses and I’m ready for the onslaught…

Along with your GT garb. Boy is ND bad

Agreed…..but I’m optimistic, maybe undeservedly so.

I’m thrilled that Appy laid it on Michigan…but sadly, watching that horrible video is four minutes of my life I will never get back.

For Sale: One Fuck Lion (Never Used)

One hopes any pollsters who still put Michigan in their next top 25 will have their voting rights suspended.

…undeservedly so.

I have to admit, as an SC fan, I feel for UM fans. I mean, there are losses, and there are knees to the groin type of losses, and this is definitely one of the latter. I can’t even imagine the amount of pain you guys must be feeling after this loss. Hopefully, you guys can manage to turn your season around.

John Cooper never pulled anything like this nonsense.

PS Michigan hasn’t won since Bo Schembechler died.

“An Appalachian family of smiling faces”? Shit eating grins I assume.

Jim Tressel… fuck off. Damn… you’re right.

Maybe I’ll see my Hogs fly tonight. Anything seems possible now.

> Maybe I’ll see my Hogs fly tonight.

Or maybe we’ll see them actually throw a pass

at least ann arbor won’t burn tonight unlike several other unnamed big ten cities probably would have after this…is there a word that describes the sound of me vomiting all over myself?

This was still a very close game. I’m convinced that ONLY Michigan can keep up with ASU. They’d better get another chance.

1. - No, they only put heads on spikes in the SEC, remember?

No, in a typical display of Yankee softness, Lloyd Carr will be given 24 hours to quietly slip away and begin living “off the grid,” in concert with nature, before his home is pillaged and his family’s assets seized.

The least Brian@mgoblog could do is have the balls to keep his site up when his team faces a crushing loss. At least last year after the OSU loss, he just ran away… today he took down the entire blog and put up a “please stand by” test pattern.

If I wasn’t dead in November, I’d be today.

32

Or you could wear this one, a personal favorite of mine:

And now for the Michigan upset video remix:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=syweVqeYyJM

Does this performance by the Big Twleven favorite mean that the Big Twleven is now [Conference Redacted]?

Also, I give props to the BlogPoll voter who voted Michigan #1 in the Blogpoll, that guy looks like a genius right now.

Actually, I take that Twleven back, after this loss, there’s no way the Big Televen could add a 12th team.

+elevendy, BJ and the Bear.

The reactions to the score updates at Beaver Stadium were high-larious (FIU was decidedly COLD COLD COLD, and exactly how Orson predicted a few days ago in the cupcake posts). It was all rather cute and entertaining until ASU opened up a two-touchdown lead. That’s when the “holy shit, this might actually happen!” sentiment came in, along with the “we’ve lost eight consecutive games to Michigan, and these assholes are going to beat them?” sentiment. The stadium PA announcer kept saving the Michigan score until the end of every update, too. It was all so surreal.

Anyway, this Michigan loss is so sweet in so many ways, but from a practical standpoint it really hurts anyone hoping to build their eventual resume by beating Michigan. Not that Penn State would ever beat Michigan.

I think I’m going to go throw up. Forget embarrassing a school. I feel for my conference. Michigan had better win every non-conference game and lose every conference game for the rest of the season, just to make up for the profound shame this brought on the entire Big 10.

SEC folks, I’ll not begrudge you your shit-talking. I’ll begrudge Michigan your shit-talking. I hope we can agree, though, that this is an aberration that exceeds all aberrations.

Fucking shameful. Just shameful. I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I was a part of that fiasco.

What Erik said. The sheer genius that is Lloyd Carr doesn’t reflect on the rest of the conference.

Well, except for Illinois.

App State baby. HELL YEAH! But give it up tryin to stay it’s all Michigan’s fault. Give Appalachian the damn credit that they deserve!!!

Hello EDSBS readers,

A few quick points from someone who was actually at the Michigan/App State game today (section 14, not a bad view…but I digress)

a) App State is a solid team who would beat Michigan once out of 25 times provided the breaks went their way…today was that day!
b) App State travels a ton of fans (excellent tailgaiting at the golf course with them…good people all)
c) As a “Michigan Guy” fan wise, I was supremely disappointed in the season ticket base (about 20 percent, it seemed left after the 3rd quarter with Michigan down a touchdown, basically)…so called “loyal Michigan fanbase”…freaking pathetic that
d) it’s the losses that make the big wins worthwhile…if Michigan or Texas or ND or Florida won every game by 40 what would the point of me accepting free tickets from season ticket holder be?
e) Noting point d immediately above, please consider that one DomerGary…oh, I forgot, when was the last big Notre Dame win? Yeah, it’s cool Gary, I can’t remember either
f) Remember friends, it’s about good fun and sportsmanship (a little) and I always hope for a good upset in the March Madness…kinda cool to see it happen I guess
g) well, I guess I’ll just have to look forward to next week’s Oregon destruction and the annual Notre Dame ass kicking…that should take the edge off

Good times everyone

New Michigan Head Coach…

On the drive back into Canada (the true north, strong and free…btw) all radio talk centred on the replacement for Lloyd

Okay peoples, the name most thrown around was: Les Miles (alumni and former coaching staff member)

Who are the other candidates? Help me out here

The question on my mind:

Will Jim Delaney draft a sour grapes rebuttal to that ‘speedy’ Southern Conference?

screw the big ten network, i wish i had listened to the app state audio broadcast.

We tried to tell you guys that App State is, indeed, HOT! HOT! HOT!!!

Despite the fighting Ron Zook’s 6 point loss today (better and better!) it’s safe to assume that Michigan really is the Big Televen’s true [Team Redacted]

No intellegent OSU fan wanted to see this.

We love LLLLLoyd Carr. And we love Ron English.

Just got back from the PSU/FIU slaughter…when the drubbing ended, I think watching the Michigan game with the students on the TV in the stadium may have been more exciting then the game I drove 3 hrs to to see. OVERRATED!

I was there, all I got was a sunburn and nearly fought a 60 year old man when I was told ‘down in front’. The biggest crowd to see a college game today? Yes, the biggest bunch of pussy, douche bag, asshole eliteists? You betcha. And thats just the fans. UM’s defense is terrible, and the offense ran the stretch zone play to the RB to the left side (ie, Jake Long) 38 times. 38. I counted. Michigan fans (which I painfully am) can shove their academic prestige right up their tea drinking, pinky raised asses and come to the realization that its not 1977 anymore, and if you could pass that on to LLLLLLLLoyd it’d be just super.

They just came and showed us why they’re Hot,Hot Hoto!

There is really nothing we can say that adds to the already immense amount of pain being felt by backers of the Blue.

Procedural question:

Because this was not a D-1 school, does that mean it doesn’t count against UM in the BCS? I’m embarassed I don’t know the answer to this one.

So can we fire Lloyd Carr yet, or do we also have to wait until we shit the bed against Ohio State AGAIN this year?

HEY

All you retarded motherfuckers who laughed at me for saying that KU would kick the shit out of CMU?

52-7 with 10 minutes left in the game. FUCK YOU GUYS.

Damn Michigan. When we saw that you scheduled a tune up game to start the season we never thought you’d actually be a tune up for Appalachian State.

Freaking APPALACHIAN STATE. Maybe UM should add some D-3 schools to the schedule to make up for this disaster.

As a Domer fan, and watching my guys get thumped hard by GT, I just can’t seem to get the smile off my face.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Hey Domer fan, maybe you should pay attention to the fact that your team fucking sucks instead of relying on schadenfreude to get your rocks off.

Looks like Al Groh will be available to join Lloyd as a color commentator on the BTN next season, after UVA got manhandled out in Laramie.

Meanwhile, I suspect Brewster Crew is looking for additional liquid solace as Bowling freakin’ Green currently is just pounding the snot out of the Gilded Rodents in Minneapolis.

And kudos to UCF for beating NC State in Raleigh — although O’Leary’s resume already lists this as bowl victory over Florida State.

(Your MIAMI RedHawks travel to the Metrodome next weekend, and I’m hoping that the U (North) really is just that bad rather than stunned and pissed off for next week.)

Musberger is bringing the heat on day one. In the span of two minutes he just said that Longshore, “snapped it off” on a TD throw and followed it up with a reference to Phil Steele. Joy.

I can’t say what’s weirder: Tebow dancing out of bounds today, or the fact that either Michigan or Notre Dame will definitely have two losses by Sept 15th.

That Wolverine sure had a pretty mouth on him.

I don’t give a damn if UM puts a 100 up on ND. ND didn’t lose to a DIV-2 school while ranked #5. Here is what really makes being a ND fan tough. If ND was to win out (NEVER GONNA HAPPEN) the ND haters would be all over them. We’d hear “Look at their schedule” or “They beat UM, and they lost to Appalachian State.” or “Sure they won their games, they play 2 of the service acadamies.” When it comes to ND it will never be good enough. This just happens to be one of those times where we get to laugh our asses off at a hated rival.

I only wished I owned the rights to the Fire Lloyd Carr website. From here on out, when a UM fan says “scoreboard” to a ND fan, we can kindly reply “Appalachian State.”

For the record …

http://michiganzone.blogspot.com/2007/08/know-your-foe-appalachian-state.html

The Game – This is a game Michigan can’t win. Oh, sure, they’ll score more points that AppState, but no matter what the final score is, no Wolverine fan is going to feel good. Win by 40 and what’s the big deal, so they beat a I-AA, sorry, Champion Subdivision team. What bullies. Struggle against the best Champion Subdivision team and win by a touchdown and watch the Wolverines fall in the polls. This is not the weakest team Michigan will play this year. This would probably not be the worst team in the Big Ten. But a victory, no matter the margin, won’t look good or even be satisfying. MICHIGAN 42, APPALACHIAN STATE 23.

A good evening for teams with Georgia in their names. The Buzz-Boys disassembled everyone’s favorite over-rated team and the Dawgs held a pretty good Cowboy offense to 14 points.

Meechigan, WTF?

Day one was well worth the wait.

I’m a UNC fan, but Carolina is just the flagship university of a 16 school system, which includes App. State. So way to go, little brother!

I always thought it was the buckeyes and the spartans that lived vicariously through Michigans losses. I did not realize that OMG THE BEST PROGRAM EVER OMG CHARLIE WEISS had to live through it as well.

Michigan losing to ASU is unfathomable and amazing. I give ASU all the credit in the world. However this game has NOTHING to do with Notre Dame.

You can tease us all you want about this game. Have fun with your 0-3 start. Oh, and see you up here for the Motor City Bowl…if you’re eligible.

Congrats again ASU!

Okay, who’s got the balls to be the first guy to ask Brian if you can put I-AA teams in the BlogPoll?

Seriously, I was at the 2004 game where Rutgers lost to New Hampshire (positive note for Michigan fans – that was the same year they beat MSU), and I know how terrible that felt, and this was when RU was still stumbling along. I do feel for Michigan fans, but OTOH, this is still really cool.

As I was leaving Michigan stadium – after having met up with and threatened to beat the shit out of my Buckeye-fan brother-in-law who I had given tickets to and who had the poor form to taunt me immediately after the game – I started to contemplate the enormity of this failure.

What came to mind is Lady Macbeth. No matter what Michigan does from here out, it will always be the team that lost to Hot Hot Hot U. Mallet wins three Heismans and two national titles? But you guys lost to App. St. Michigan beats ND 223-0 thereby achieving the largest victory in college football history? Hey do you remember when Michigan lost to the Mountianeers – no that the ones from West Virginia, the ones from NC. In other words, this is an endlible spot, it can never be erased.

In the history of college football there has never been a greater failure. To give you an example of how bad it is, I have not been able to take any joy in ND getting pasted by GT today even when I consider the batshit-crazy predictions for ND’s season record at BGS.

I waited 8 months for this shit. Fuck.

Thank God Michigan was there to take the focus off the stank of my highly overrated Horns tonight.

Texas is a 4-loss team. Our primary goal should be staying in the Top 25 through the season.

I wondered what it was, but now it turns out Charlie Wiess is full of shit. Who knew?

Pete, you and your info made me money tonight. I thank you sir. I liked that play from the beginning and your info pushed me over the edge.

The commercial reminds of something you might hear in North Korea.

Fuck Michigan, but they’ll still hang 45 points on the Pope Fuckers of South Bend.

#68-New Hampshire also beat the Mildcats last year.

I don’t feel bad for Michigan at all. Go read the previous week of M zone and mgoblog and try to feel sorry for those arrogant know it alls with a university full of ugly chicks.

M zone is going to have to eat more crow than I have ever seen in my life.

I thorougly enjoyed watching Tebow’s stunning pass fakes today at The Swamp. He does this slow-motion lurch like an ogre, a completely ham-fisted bow, probably while looking at his shoelaces trying to remember the sequence of events that are supposed to happen after the fake. Then he throws it for 30 or 40 yards. It was fun.

Gator fans were pretty laid back today. There was some whining when the defense didn’t make the safety, but I think everyone was too hot to really get upset.

Then I got to come home and watch GT over ND! Taylor Bennet seemed a little overzealous, but whatever.

Now THAT’S a killer App, bitches!

LSUJoshua -

I didn’t know that performing analysis of one’s team counted as trying to be “an arrogant know it all”. I thought it was, you know, what all fans strive to do.

One wonders what you’re doing on this site, then, and why you’re not slurping up Mark May’s ejaculate on the WWL.

Between this signal of the apocalypse and GaTech violating Notre Dame in a way that most good Catholics will need to confess about, the season has started off well.

The radio call for App. St on espn’s cfb final show was teh allsome. Sounded like Kinnison on color for the Mountaineers.

“OHHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Hate on ND all you want Michigan fans, but if this was ND or Ohio State losing to App State you fags would be all over them. UM had brought in a Patsy that turned out to be anything but. Not only did they pay for that kind of thinking, they took a hit for 400K in the wallet as well. You actually paid a DIV-2 team to beat your asses as home.

Awesome. Shit, that’s freaking Priceless.

Ohio State is somewhat nifty

Bob Ufer: “The kick is…blocked. It’s blocked. Appalachian State wins, 32, to 31…Appalachian State wins, 35, to 34…Appalachian State wins, 34, to 32.”

RE 89, what’s the problem with that preview? They said “This would probably not be the worst team in the Big Ten.”

Besides, as long as Michigan wins the conference, they still get an automatic playoff berth and can play their way to a rematch. It will be a much tougher game without HFA, but the Wolverines might be able to pull it off with a couple of breaks.

Erik, go check out the outright mockery of the poll on App. State’s website about the most important factor in the game. It’s hilarious in retrospect. Beforehand, it was smarmy and super classy. There’s performing analysis, and then there’s being an arrogant jackass. And every once in a while, karma is a bitch.

And last time I checked, this site was one based on “two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don’t. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.” We’re all here as fans with day jobs to talk trash about everyone. No one is safe. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must run home and put some water in yo mama’s dish.

Michigan isn’t winning any national titles. Man thats crazy talk. You have to win your last game for that to happen. And you can’t win your second to last much less the tough 1-AA games. Think about what directional Michigan will do to you.

#81: Calm down champ, it was only Central Michigan.

You should know by now Mark Mangino loves him some cupcakes.

whats worse losing to 1aa or losing to the team that lost to 1aa?

here’s hoping that michigan beats someone this year….

we might have a shot at ND they looked awful.

Maybe ND and Michigan should switch head coaches after this year. Or better yet, I am sure [NAME REDACTED] will be available….hey…he is a great recruiter, and a players coach!!

Don’t feel bad Michigan. You guys might be able to win the Division 1-AA championship subdivision section 2 tournament next year. Provided you can get past the Youngstown Fightin’ Penguins.

Long time lurker, first time poster…

Does anybody really want to be Oregon next week?

Face it, the most dangerous team in the country right now probably is the one you all are laughing at today. Hungry doesn’t begin to describe it. If nothing more, they are playing for pride more than anyone else out there, right now. App State gave them the motivation that no coach’s halftime speech can provide, and you can rest assured that they are going to do everything imaginable (or die trying) to make examples out of the next 11 teams on the schedule.

Oregon should seriously consider staying on the team bus next Saturday.

Yeah, we suck. We really suck. Holy #$$!!, OMG, WTF, we suck like the event horizon of a black hole. And we know it.

And tomorrow, when I go to work at the medical center with my U. Michigan pin on my white coat, my fellow physicians from Texas and Ohio State and Arkansas and everywhere else are gonna tell me, “Man, your Wolverines truly suck,” and I’ll say, yep.

Because it’s true.

Because my Wolverines do suck.

And because they’re my Wolverines.

Fair-weather fanning is easy. Everybody’s a fan when you’re winning. It’s when your team bites it, blows it, blows it in a way no team in literal history has ever blown it, and it’s still your team — that’s what it means to be a real fan. When your team does something utterly humiliating — and nobody has ever been humilated like this — and it’s still your team, that’s what it means to be a real fan.

Everyone’s got their own reasons for their own fan loyalties. For me, it’s my oldest cousin beginning at U. Michigan almost twenty five years ago — and someone in my family being enrolled there every year since. It’s me going from the little boy who pulled for the Maize and Blue to the man who walked across the stage at Ann Arbor’s Hill Auditorium twice, to accept both my doctorates from the U of M. I’m a Michigan man, through and through, good times, bad times, and OMGWTF times alike.

So we’ll take our humiliations like men. A real fan always knows his own true colors. Mine are Maize and Blue. Sometimes they do well. Sometimes they truly suck. But win or lose, these colors don’t run.

Just make sure that bitch-whore Hayley Lafontaine does not follow me up to Ann Arbor. FUCK her, fuck her in the ear!

That was a HOT HOT HOT lunch Michigan just got served.

It’s all been covered except Oregon gets to eat dick next week. Woohoo bitches we got a new coach next year!!! tOSU fans better be shaking in their fcacking boots cause 475 days from now in Columbus, Ohio….

That video makes me want to kill myself.

And my team looked good in a win over Okie State today.

But then I watched that video.

I may look an idiot for picking CMU over Kansas, but at least I got the Bowling Green upset over Minnesota right.

Dude shushed the crowd after the third ASU TD. Clearly he forgot where he was playing.

Michigan fans, please stop talking about how everyone else is overrated. Like, forever. Fans everywhere — viz., me — have been waiting decades for this. You make Minnesota look like Boise State.

Oh, and first commenter? You don’t think this is going to make the BTN a shitload of money selling feed of this debacle? Rule #1: Delaney always wins.

Wait, wait, wait. Does this mean that this Michigan is not filled with Michigan men? I need clarification.

On the plus side, Grande Azul probably won’t have to worry about getting smacked in a bowl this year. Huzzah!

hey isnt it great when michigan and notre dame fans agrue over which teams sucks less? i love it! i freaking love!

Way to go App! Columbus loves App State!!!! Respect the SoCon!

Hey Michigan, there’s always next year.
WHAT TOP TEN TEAM EVER HAS TO SAY THAT AFTER WEEK 1???!!!! Damn! Now we have to lose to you just so we can keep Lloyd around.

I wonder if someone needs to talk Brian Cook off a ledge. That MGoBlog of his has been offline for an entire day. I love his analysis. I’d hate to hear that he’d cut his wrists and taken a bottle full of painkillers to end the pain.

The following comes from the Watauga Democrat of Boone, NC from an interview that was conducted before the Mountaineers left for the game:

"We’re aware of the circumstances we’re going into," Mountaineers coach Jerry Moore said. "I like the challenge for our team. It makes us a better football team playing people like them. That was the bottom line, to make us a better football team."

http://www.wataugademocrat.com/2007/0827web/mountaineers.php

SKUNK WEED AND OLD GRANDAD FOR EVERYONE!

Well, that was certainly an interesting day. Thank god I didn’t have access to a TV.

And for the record, ND losing to GT

… is not as bad as UM losing to the Hot Hot Hotters

I remember UGA playing Ga Southern when Southern was coming off of some of its championship seasons. Some rather poor Georgia teams always destroyed the reigning AA champs.

No excuses, Michigan

On the atomic weight scale of upsets, this one rated a 9.9 Manginos.

Sorry, but can I see some love for Cal on this site? Anywhere?

Of course ND losing to GTech is not as bad as Michigan losing to App St.

Unless of course….YOU ARE A NOTRE DAME FAN.

Because, and try to keep up with me here…THE TEAM THAT YOU ROOT FOR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

I do not care if Ohio State lost to the University of Belgium, if Michigan had just been defeated by 30 at the hands of Chan Gailey that would be my focus.

Again, Congrats to App St for an amazing performance.

Actually Dave, I don’t agree. I would trade places with ND in a heartbeat this morning. I survived the 34-9 where-did-that-come from debacle versus Iowa in 2002, the 38-28 loss versus Syracuse (it was 38-7 in the 4th quarter and Michigan got a number of garbage time TDs)in 1998, the 45-17 drilling by Tennessee in the 2002 Citrus Bowl, the 51-31 loss to FSU in 1991. All of those losses eventually fade because they are good division I teams with 85 scholarship athletes – the same number as Michigan can have. According to this morning’s paper, Division I-AA (or whatever it is called these days) schools are limited to 63. In the sands of time GT 33 ND 3 goes away, but Appalachian State 34 Michigan 32 will abide as long as college football is played.

A good portion of the Michigan mystique died yesterday. In the next 10 years, what football player will look at the winged helmet with fear and dread? If Appalachian State can beat Michigan then (insert team here) can to.

So this morning even ND fans have standing to ridicule us.

Uhhmmm. Colt fucking Brennan, anyone?!?! 34-40 for 400 yards and SIX TDs in ONE HALF. Fucking christ.

Everyone can Ridicule us. That is not what I am saying.

I too would rather lose to GaTech by 30 than lose to App St.

But the reality is Michigan lost to App St and Notre Dame lost to GaTech

I am not saying that other fans cant ridicule Michigan. I am saying that Michigan losing to App St. should not be more important to them than their team losing by 30 to Chan Gailey.

Laughing at Michigan to forget that your team is going to win 6 games and play in the MPC computers bowl is like laughing at Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in order to forget that you make 15 dollars an hour and have a fat wife and kids who hate you and a small dick.

Sure its fun to laugh at those girls, but your own problems should still be more important to you.

Did I just compare Michigan to Paris Hilton. Lord Help Me. Congrats ASU!

1. You should focus on your team, and a rival’s loss is, at best, little solace.
2. Check out the photo on the front of the M Zone site. Great shot of a zeppelin going down, painted like a Michigan helmet. Nice work, gentlemen.

Let me say right now, I’m a Notre Dame fan. I was embarrassed by the way they played yesterday, and right now, I don’t fucking care about Michigan. Naturally, I’m happy they lost b/c I’m a ND fan. But really, I’m much more concerned with the O-Line of the Irish than anything that has to do with Michigan.

Anyone else notice that the only SEC team to play a ranked opponent on the road lost…and was I the only one who thought that Cal was 10 times faster than Tenn.

Hats off to Tenn though, at least they have the balls to play an OOC game against a legit team on the road.

I absolutely hate that unranked K-State caved in – they outplayed Auburn for 58 minutes at Auburn – hats off to them too.

Good News – Brian Cook at MGoBlog…er…Kittens R Nice…is still alive with no more test pattern.

This will be a tough pill to swallow and a tough week in ann arbor.

I feel sick.

TOSUBUCK who did tosu play yesterday?

I still can’t believe this, even the day after it happened.

Which is why it’s so awesome.

Congrats, ASU.

I’ll answer for you…….. Youngstown State.
Why is it the Buckeyes never schedule SEC teams?
I think we all know the answer to that question.

I guess because of the result, no one is mentioning how bonehead of a move it seemed to kick the field goal with 1st and goal from the Michigan 5 on the left hash and leave Michigan nearly 30 second to move down the field for a field goal that would have won the game. I was stomping around saying how stupid it was. You have time for at least one shot to run it to the center of the field and try to score a touchdown, then go out and spike the ball with 2 seconds left. I don’t get that call.

Of course, if it had been my cursed team that pulled that move, Michigan’s field goal would have sailed right through the uprights.

Tosu- Nobody ever said the PAC-10 wasn’t fast.

If you put Auburn’s D with Tennessee’s O, you’d have a pretty good team, but there are probably rules against that, so they both have a lot of work to do.

How many Big 10 teams played ranked opponents on the road again?

Hey #116 BluenGold…nice soliloquy!

I don’t understand why people say UM is full of arrogant assholes.

(Please note heavy-handed sarcasm)

#146: Yep. If not for a blocked field goal, that decision would live in infamy as part of the Upset That Should’ve Been.

I went to bed last night saying that the ND loss was okay because Michigan suffered the most horrific loss in the history of the world.

I woke up this morning pissed off and full of questions.

The UM loss doesn’t help ND’s embarrassing performance.

OK friends, since I brought you the Hot, Hot, Hot video I’ll close up this little circle of symmetry on the world beaters with the audio call from the App State radio crew.

Just in case you haven’t heard it anywhere else, go here and look a bit down the right side:
http://www.goasu.com/page/31/
But do it in IE, it doesn’t seem to like Firefox.

Also, in the post game, App State’s Coach Jerry Moore notes that they’ve won two titles and this isn’t the most important victory.

“We’ve got two national championships behind this; certainly this is not bigger than that because we’ve won the ultimate prize in 1-AA football.”

Pwned! Michigan isn’t as big as D1-AA.

I wish someday I can have the job security Lloyd Carr has. Honestly, what else can he do to be fired? This team embarrassed every aspect of my university yesterday. Bill Martin, Mary Sue Coleman, and most importantly Lloyd Carr should all be fired. This has been a hellish year for this university and especially this football team. Thank God I blacked out in my yard and was not able to make it to the game yesterday. I can assure you, drinking heavily is all I have to look forward to this season. Suicide is another option (not serious here).

Domer Guy – as an ND fan myself, here’s where I disagree: we knew ND was rebuilding this year and would be lucky to go 7-5 whereas Michigan was a BCS title contender. If you’re really that upset about the ND loss, your expectations must have been really out of whack.

Two tickets to the UM/App St game: $120
Three Bratwurst and 2 Apple Ciders: $21
Paying App St $400,000 to embarrass your
beloved team on opening day: Priceless!

Here’s a little love for Cal – I thought they were going to lose their shit in the third quarter and instead they stuck the boot in. Nice work by the Golden Bears.

I’m not making mock of Michigan partly because others have a running start, and also because I wouldn’t exactly characterize SC’s win over Idaho as, ah, dominating. Concerns about the WRs weren’t entirely misplaced, and the defense seems to have reset to last September in terms of getting to the QB. They’re going to have to do better than that if they want to be at the front of the Pac 10 never mind anything else.

At least the second string got some playing time.

Michigan losing to HHHSU is definitely worse than ND getting the altar boy treatment from Tech.

But, the Tech win makes me hate Reggie Ball even more for last year’s loss to ND.

When I was on the ledge last night I started thinking. Making that last second field goal could have covered up the cold, hard truth. Missing it? Well, this loss is rock bottom. Lloyd will now have to go to a 12 step group, admit he’s powerless over his addiction to predictable play calling, and turn to his higher power for help.

Now, I’m not saying that I’m gonna have anything sharp in the apartment for the next 24 hours. I don’t want to get cocky . . . but making that field goal would have allowed everyone to just sweep glaring problems under the rug. Having that sucker blocked might force reality on the Michigan coaching staff and things. might. just. change.

There’s one more upside in this tornado of pain. I looked in the mirror this morning and saw my abs. I looked kinda "ripped!" I’ve been retaining fluid . . . . and I cried out 10 pounds of hot, salty tears.

now that I’ve had some time to put this in perspective, many of the previous posters have a good point. App st IS a solid program, and UM DID play them tough, clearly, they deserve a rematch (unless USC finishes 12-0 then they should get to play em)

Slims, I’ll give Cal some love…

There’s very little in life that is sweeter than watching Foolmer get his ass handed to him by tree-huggers…

Though having Michigan and ND embarrassed in the same day helps prolong the buzz….

Now if Kansas State had managed not develop erectile dysfunction with 5 minutes left to go…

Ok, maybe that’s being greedy.

Two points.

First, Darren McFadden seemed to be our only effective passing offense….sighs

Second, did I imagine that Texas nearly choked against Arky State?

Orson Swindle, you stud – you practically called this win in last EDSBS Live during the interview with Austin Murphy

“Or you could wear this one, a personal favorite of mine:
”http://www.teshurt.com/Illinois/tshirts/images/s_MuckFichigan.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.teshurt.com/Illinois/tshirts/images/s_MuckFichigan.jpg"

The people that make/wear those shirts are like, uh, like poets… you know like Shelley or Byron, or people like that. (I’m kind of like lukewarm water.)

Thank you Michigan

As An Appalachian Alum who attended yesterday’s game after waking up 4am to catch the 6am out of raleigh let me just say

HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT A WAY TO START A COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

Go Mountaineers!

Farva -

Before yesterday I thought ND would go 7-5 on the year. The thing is, I thought we would beat GT. My pessimistic side told me that we might lose to GT in a close one, say 24-21 or something. Never, ever did I think that we would go (essentially) scoreless, have the o-line look like it did, start a QB that can’t throw, and leave the defense on the field for entirely too much time.

My previous post was aimed more at my belief that a Michigan loss, no matter how bad, does not take the poo taste out of my mouth after an embarrassing ND performance (as I assumed it would last night). That being said, go Irish!

Yesterday makes the Michigan-Domer game in a couple of weeks horrific for the loser. And given that both UM and ND face tougher opponents next week it is quite easy to visualize both schools going into that game 0-2.

The Pac 10 had a good weekend thanks to Cal and Washington and USC didn’t choke. The Trojans didn’t have the ideal intensity, but they started the game in excellent form and were able to turn it back on in the third quarter while the guys in the two-deep were still playing.

Stafon Johnson looks like the player he was supposed to be coming out of HS and CJ Gable looked as good. Joe McKnight showed that he will become an impact player soon and Stanley Havili’s hudlie over a defender was the sort of move any team would love to see from a tailback, let alone a FB

Has this loss really sank in? UM has just looked into the Ark from that Indiana Jones movie. This is a loss that will be told to children for decades.

It doesn’t matter how good App State is. It doesn’t matter that ND got waxed. It doesn’t matter that Cal beat UcheaT. We have witnessed something that has never happened before. It may never happen again.

This loss will never be forgotten. We should all be proud to have lived to see this.

Way to represent Michigan! All these doucebags talking about Carr deserves to go out on top, he deserves a shot at another NC…blah blah fucking blah. You stupid fucks just made the big 10 the joke of college football.

These stupid people who get to vote, at least Henne will be gone after this year and the rest of us won’t have to hear about how great of a QB he is – under 50% 1INT against a subdivision school, that retard was/is a 4 year starter at Michigan.

Defense? Give me a fucking break, Ron English Michigan’s new HC? I pray so. #5 in the country – and why? Because you have a slow, disrespectful piece of shit RB – a 4 yr. starting QB who wouldn’t be able to convince a bunch of 5 year olds to follow his lead and a tackle returning you deserve top 5 in the nation.

On behalf of the Big 10 – go fuck yourself.

The Big-10 has been a joke round these parts.

This is a Florida blog….

Domer guy —

That poo taste in your mouth is left over from when Jon Tenuta shit down your throat.

AZ…understandable, but doesn’t mean I can’t rant about them. They never, EVER deserved to be ranked 5th in the nation – the only reason they were is because of their name ‘brand’. If anyone took an unbiased look at Michigan and their shit QB, and what they have returning they would have been ranked in the 12-15 range. Instead they get crowned the best team in the big ten, even if fans of other big ten teams knew it wasn’t the cause – and make us look like complete shit the opening week.

Someone tell me this will be replayed on espn classic this week?

173, I think the BTN has the rights to the game so probably(/hopefully) not. The BTN network could replay it, but I’m not sure how anxious they are to embarrass the conference.

Thanks Orson for this wonderful video. Yet you failed to point out how this masterpiece impacted the game in the “Big Hootch”. I did a little research and found out that the Appalachian State sent this little video gem to the Maize and Blue coaches in lieu of game films. Then Lloyd Carr and his band of Merry Michigan Men watched it and their brains became so numbed that they never recovered……………………..“Hot, Hot, Hot”, indeed……….Ugh!

Therefore, under the circumstances Meechigan does indeed deserve a rematch…………….with ASU.

Now excuse me while I go drink a bottle of Tabasco sauce in honor of “Hot, Hot, Hot”. Omigod, what did I just say?

Because it came to me yesterday like a mesage from God. In talking to my buddy I thought, what on earth as the Michigan coach would I do to make sure the Wolverines understand how embarrased the coaching staff, alumni, students, fans, faculty, conference are. I keep them focused by PULLING THE FUCKING WINGS OFF OF THE HELMETS. Keep ‘em off until they show me otherwise. The names however have to stay on but be in even BIGGER font so all of tv land knows who the underperforming players are. But i’m not the head coach. So it won’t happen. Imagine that shit though….abusive but effective.

Finally the fans can communicate their displeasure with the team, university, AD, president…by not going to the next game. This is America, there is a choice and as paying customers have control over what kind of shit we watch. Imagine the revenue lost in concessions alone. Money talks. But you can’t educate the general public either that won’t happen. Good ideas though…really good ideas.

1) take the wings off of the helmets until further notice
2) no one show up for the next game(s)…to tell the admnistration that shit is completey fucking unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
3) fire the AD and the entire staff after the conclusion of the season.
4) Hire Patterson from Boise St and live a long and prosperous life as a Wolverine fan.
5) I talked to my Dad yesterday long distance (he’s a tOSU fan) he told me I could always jump ship and go with a winner. He said, write a letter to the AD and threaten to change alliances to tOSU…

this will never go away and it’s much worse than I thought….

Old School Motto (Michigan):
Space, Bitches!

New School Motto (App St):
All your astronaut are belong to us!

As much as I wish to pile on what’s left of the Twig House, I can’t crow too much. after all, UM still has “most favored nation” status with any and all Adidas collegiate contracts.

Also, the Miami Dolphins still have the entire Ginn family and you don’t!

The next time any of you Dawgs decide to throw a punch, at least KO the sumbitch you hit. Pussy.

Tell me again why Jon Tenuta isn’t the “next big thing” but Ron English is.

If I am a UM ballplayer and I’m being lectured by coach Cry, er I mean, Carr, about “manning up” and toughness and all, I’ll wonder why Carr was such a coward in not being able to take questions from a homer sideline dweeb.

BTN = Big Tits Network, in Llllloyd’s honor.

#172, it doesn’t matter where Michigan was ranked. They’re fucking Michigan. They lost to App State – and most CFB fans don’t even know what State App State is in, nevermind city.

A big-name 1A school should never lose to 1AA schools. Hell, even Medium-Name 1A schools fire coaches after losses to 1AA schools (Hello, Frank Broyles).

However, the bright side is that The Big Ten (can’t count) network will make more money selling the rights to that game than they could’ve ever imagined.

Michigan got edged by a good team.

Notre Dame got blown out by a good team.

The ND tradition of wrapping arms around each other and swaying to and fro as you sing the alma mater is…..well……gay. Especially after a performance like that. The players should have been at the gates handing people their admission money back.

Oh yeah. Clausen looks gayer than ever.

#176:
It’s “Petersen”, you dumb fuck

34-32 suck it.

THE LATERAL!!!

There is one key difference between Michigan and Notre Dame after Week 1:

Michigan has hope.

I don’t see how Lloyd Carr can be around after this year, unless some miracle occurs (like going undefeated the rest of the year???) Not likely.

solid as a rock and proud as a peacock

IF anyone is still reading this…to CHAS…re UM having an eight month lay off..how long was ASU off after their second Championship victory?

and to Digital Headbutt…sorry, we do not take credit for UNCs basketball success and you have to abide likewise lol

and to you all who think this was a fluke…don’t forget the ASU dropped pass in the end zone OR the same guy that blocked the field goal ALMOST WENT ALL THE WAY!!! be tahnkful it wasn’t as bad as it could have been

and to all the UM well wishers…thank you for being good sports..may we all live to fight another day!
