So you're trying to say that Michigan didn't overlook Appalachian State in 2007?

upsets happen. doesn't mean anyone was being overlooked.

you don't find it possible that a pretty good fbs team playing a pretty bad fcs team that i had to google search just to figure out where the university was, could have possibly overlooked them because of a looming game on the road against an sec team that has won two of the last nine national championships and who also beat us in our bowl game last year?

now i know why it is called appy state. because being stoned makes you crave food. it's not appalachian state it is appetizer state

this is quite the rabbit hole

Upsets usually happen because the favored team underestimates some aspect of the underdog team. Most teams are favored in a match for a reason, especially in cases like Michigan vs. App State. So when upsets like that happen, it usually means the favored team overlooked the underdog.

how do you explain the gong show of a game we had at Lane Stadium last year? We blowed them up and went up 21-0 in the first 5 minutes, then sucked when they started to play and they tied it, but then we won anyway

 

[What the Faulk]

In the case of Appalachian State vs. Michigan, the Wolverines were built on size and strength. We were built on speed. Many of our biggest plays were simply our guys just outrunning theirs, while their biggest plays involved us getting run over. Both teams seemed to lack the other characteristic in spades, so I think that's part of the reason why we won. Michigan played Oregon the following week (before they were a powerhouse) then Notre Dame back when they sucked. I don't really think they overlooked us so much as they didn't just match up that well. We probably could have given a few Big Ten teams a tough game that year.

all this talk about FCS over FBS teams and no one mentions the biggest one of all?

University of North Dakota over Wyoming.....

i mean come on, who saw that coming? not to mention, it was UND's first win over an FBS team in school history

i still call them the Fighting Sioux

That's racist. Same with Illinois being the fighting Illini. I call them the fighting Peoria instead.

i loathe the turkey birds with a passion, but i must set aside my personal feelings for the betterment of humanity.

GO TECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheOllieC]

OSU is going to **** on them.

 

[HisIceness]

Turkey birds remind me of Thanksgiving.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

shame all those players are suspended but should be a good game regardless

 

[Novacane]

oh dear

 

[TheOllieC]

OSU is going to **** on them.

those suspensions really hurt the offense compared to the damage they can do at full go and that lull in the second quarter was ugly

but i would say

i

am

right

in

my

analysis

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

way to blow a halftime lead turkey birds

shake my head

#smh

[the halleJOKEL]

it is terrifying that osu was missing the majority of their receivers and a top 5 nfl draft pick on their defensive line

braxton miller at wr/hb/wherever looked really good and it is completely unfair that their backup qb would be starting on 99% of p5 teams

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

what % of go5 teams tho?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

200%

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

gt's schedule just got a bit easier.

vt qb, pitt rb out for awhile.

vt qb probably back by the gt game, but they might spiral by then.

 

[HisIceness]

I have bet $20 that Michigan State beats Oregon this Saturday. #biggamble #highriskhighreward
