If you haven't been living under a rock for the last 5 days, you know about Michigan's shame. While I'm not usually of a fatalist mindset, I totally saw this coming. How can this be, you ask? Well, every year the big football juggernauts (not the PAC-10 as Les Miles described them) schedule these games, tune-up games if you will, against these lower cupcake schools. They expect to blow them out and thus start the year on a high note. There was bound to be an upset at some point when you tempt the football gods one time too many.
Michigan was the unlucky school to have this happen. They just pushed it one game too far by not only scheduling a game against a cupcake football team, but by going down an entire division. Yes, Appalachian State was a I-AA division school (or sub-division, whatever they're calling it) and even though they have won that division championship a number of times, Michigan in their infinite, self-centered wisdom thought it would be no problem blowing these poor kids out of the water at The Big House. Nothing like handing a humiliation to wolverines in their own backyard.
So my college season hopes have been dashed for the maize and blue. I now have to rally behind the LSU Tigers in the hopes that they can pull it out and have a great season. Go Les!
As long U of M beats Notre Dame, it'll be okay @ life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com.
