I believe it was UM linebacker Chris Graham who said before the game(and I am sure to misquote because this is from memory):

"Sure they're a good team, they've won 2 championships in a row. But it's not like they are at the level we are at"

How true........

GO GREEN!

Correct - they don't end sentences with prepositions.

BTW - anyone hear how my favorite team, Whatsamatta U, did this past weekend? They were playing Solid State .

And the U of M student body was so distraught Saturday night, they burnt down the university's library.....all 30 books...destroyed!

Holding back the tears, the librarian said, "....and half of them were not even colored in yet..."

At least if you are going to ask me something about a team from North Carolina, could you at least cheer for the team? You did not even know they existed until Saturday. Oh, I forgot, you have Duke and North Carolina claiming to play football. Sorry for the oversight.

I bet Michigan will have more wins this year than both of those schools combined.

Peace

When was the last time North Carolina or Duke Football was on National TV? Talk to me when either team wins more than 3 games in a season.

Peace

Oh, I'm afraid that's not true, my broken hearted friend...not only did I know they existed, I've been to games in Boone and I followed them closely during the playoffs the past 2 years.

Actually, they're basketball schools. Maybe that's a sport UM should look into, not that they've gotten their a$$ handed to them by Appy State!

That won;t change the fact that Michigan was the victim of the greatest upset in college football history, losing at home before over 100,000 in their season opener to the Mountaineers!

Desmond Howard was speechless!!! LOL!

And rumor has it that Bo Shrimpblocker rolled over in his grave!

Did anyone hear? The Wooferines went from #5 in the country to falling COMPLETELY out of the Top 25!

So long Lloyd Carr...we hardly knew ye!

Here's to the kids from ASU!

Wasn't that teen-age beauty queen wannabe who got roasted on YouTube for her less than stellar performance in a contest also from "Appy State?" Interesting that the beauty and the beast both show up on national media within a few days of each other!

Actually I am not broken hearted. This was just another game in the bigger picture. At least Michigan had an opportunity to win a National Championship and neither North Carolina school can even win an ACC Title. This was not a conference game and it will be a big wake up call. Then again, I am not jumping on a bandwagon for the moment either. I have always been a Michigan fan as long as I have been alive.

You can keep trying to make all the comments, but I would not be surprised if Michigan wins more games than both the schools I mention like they have the past several years. At least there is hope in Ann Arbor. At Duke and North Carolina there is no hope. One lost does not lose a season.

At least Desmond Howard won a major award in football. Who has done that at the other schools in NC?

Peace

She actually announced that she's going to attend App State. Don't worry, Padgett - the jokes about her being the football team's inspiration last week have already been made.
