So does Michigan tumble from #5 to out of the polls next week?

Quite possibly, but not a certainty.

This game is a perfect example of why I decided to wait until a couple of weeks worth of games were played before starting the Top 25 poll this season.

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 03:16 PM

I think they'll be around 20.

Radii · 09-01-2007, 03:16 PM

wow nice find pumpy.

cartman · 09-01-2007, 03:17 PM

It's been a good week for Appalachian State. First, their most famous freshman was all over the Internet tubes with her answer in the Miss Teen USA pageant, and now their upset victory.

molson · 09-01-2007, 03:17 PM

Good lord.

Why the subtitles?

Should be a fun scene at ASU tonight.

The subtitles are probably there so you can figure out what they're saying over the sound of your own laughter. I'm sure there's a copy of it out there without the subtitles, but this is the one that I know and love.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 03:19 PM

Thanks Pumpy. I wondered whatever happened to Up With People, now I know.

cartman · 09-01-2007, 03:20 PM

Yeah, I'd be a bit concerned about the caliber of students they are trying to attract if they need subtitles in their promotional vid.

JeeberD · 09-01-2007, 03:20 PM

Please tell me that video was from 1982...

Hey, they have to weed out the non-readers somehow, don't they?

Pumpy Tudors · 09-01-2007, 03:20 PM

I'm almost positive that the actual ASU video doesn't have subtitles. I think the subtitles were added when this made its Internet rounds as a "funny" video.

molson · 09-01-2007, 03:20 PM

The song is actually quite catchy

"Appalachian is hot hot hot, come and let us show you what we got".

I said this same thing to my dad on the way out of the sports bar today.

Lloyd Carr will need to be at least 11-2 with a win over Ohio State and a big bowl win to keep his job. Mark it down now folks.

While you may be right about their talent level, perception is reality, and the perception is that this is much worse than losing to a MAC team because of their division.

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 03:27 PM

It does seem like Lloyd Carr has let his program slip a bit the last few years. I think he's a good coach, though - hasn't he won a National Championship? I don't see them firing him, unless somehow they don't even make a bowl game or scandals arise. He may retire, though. He's not a young man.

SirFozzie · 09-01-2007, 03:27 PM

Someone better do that video to highlights of the ApSt-Mich game

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 03:29 PM

Well, GT seems to have mastered the trick of letting people stay in games

Just had a FG blocked, keeping the lead at just 6-0 in spite of a great first quarter by the defense and a pair of ND turnovers.

Radii · 09-01-2007, 03:32 PM

So after watching this first quarter, it looks like Georgia Tech will have a very good defense, Tashard Choice can win a few games by himself, but the rest of the offense is very, very suspect.

I guess that should be good enough for a bowl bid and maybe 8-4 if things go well.

That's true. App. St. would beat both of OU and Texas' opponent tonight. The problem is, perception is reality in the polls of college football. No matter what the team, the best 1-AA team will be looked at as worse than the best 1-A team.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 03:39 PM

1st down GT after the third ND fumble of the first 20 minutes.

JeeberD · 09-01-2007, 03:41 PM

Nevada picks off a pass and takes it back for a TD! 10-7 Nevada leading Nebraska in the second!

WAC power!

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 03:48 PM

Went to a sports bar to watch Miami-Marshall. Pretty cool atmosphere because there were lots of Appalachian State fans there.

As for Miami, looks like the same as last season. Pretty good running game, great defense (although both are probably improved), but no passing offense. Kirby Freeman went 9-21 for 86 yards. Ugly. We won't beat Oklahoma.

Noop · 09-01-2007, 03:50 PM

Lloyd Carr looks confused and sounds defeated.

DaddyTorgo · 09-01-2007, 03:52 PM

woot! go eagles!

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 03:57 PM

Who is this Illinois qb? What happened to Juice?

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 04:00 PM

Sigh. The Chan Gailey follies continue.

Strongest armed QB maybe in school history, one with mobility to boot, sitting on the bench. Meanwhile Bennett looks like a slow rattled career backup that can't escape the rush & can't hit a receiver keeping ND in this one.

JeeberD · 09-01-2007, 04:05 PM

17-17 Oregon and Houston. Ten straight points for the Coogs to tie the game up.

ISiddiqui · 09-01-2007, 04:06 PM

BC ties the game up right before the half, after Wake returned a fumble for a TD. Good game so far.

Celeval · 09-01-2007, 04:11 PM

ND defensive linemen just got tossed for a blow to the head after the play.

Easy Mac · 09-01-2007, 04:12 PM

SoCon represent!!!! I still hate App State.

Also, they've probably beaten Furman on the last drive of the game 3 or 4 times since I was a Freshman in college... a damn good late game team.

And I still loathe them.

Sublime 2 · 09-01-2007, 04:13 PM

BC/Wake tied 21-21 at the half.

Are you seriously asking for a QB switch 25 minutes into the season?

Bennett isn't looking great, but Choice is running the ball well, give him time to find a groove.

16-0 thanks to a Choice run.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 04:15 PM

16-0 GT after Choice takes it to the house.
Maybe the 2nd half gameplan should follow the "passless upset" model, 'cause Taylor Bennett is making Gary Lanier look pretty good right now.

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 04:15 PM

TYLER DONOVAN, Wisconsin QB

1st half: 12/20, 224, 3 tds, 0 ints

Celeval · 09-01-2007, 04:16 PM

Well, Weis is changing QBs this early. Sharpley is in.

I'm amazed that Bennett got the start frankly, with the talent that's sitting on the bench. So it's not like I'm looking for one 25 minutes in, I've been looking for one for weeks. Said it before, will say it again - Gailey is a double-digit moron that doesn't belong on the sidelines of anything beyond pee wee football unless he's on the chain crew.

Who are you expecting, Booker or Nesbitt? Granted, I'm not on campus or anything, but every practice report I've been reading since Spring has said that Bennett has been consistently the best-looking quarterback on the field.

Nesbitt, who I really believe could become the best QB in school history if our resident brain surgeon doesn't convert him to WR .

And God help us if those spring reports are true, it'll be a damned long season that sees a good defense get left high & dry a lot against better teams.

Celeval · 09-01-2007, 04:27 PM

Nesbitt is seeing the field - they've got a couple packages for him, and he was in on one play (QB into the line) earlier.

Yeah, one play that was about as predictable as a Reggie Ball overthrow.

Sorry that's what I meant only reversed. ESPN HD is blacked out here as well, with the games switched from what you have on the others.
