Mountaineers come up big at the Big House
In Week 1 of the college football season, Michigan's title dreams already have been crushed after a stunning loss to the Division I-AA Appalachian State Mountaineers in Ann Arbor. The game featured a rare Mike Hart fumble, 2 missed 2 point-conversions by the Wolverines and a blocked Michigan field goal in the waning seconds.
ESPN.com - NCF - Boxscore
I'm in total disbelief about this. What do you guys think of this? How long can Lloyd Carr possibly keep his job after this? It's an embarrassment to Michigan and its massive athletics budget to lose this game.

The biggest problem with all these big teams scheduling these "practice" season games is if they do lose they are done for the season.

The only good thing Michigan and their fans can take away from this game is that nobody saw the game. Screw the Big 10 errr Big 11 Network for saving Michigan from a national tv disaster.

Hah, yeah had a chance to monitor this game via ESPN gamecast. I was completely surprised, and somewhat excited to see Michigan get defeated by a team that was suppose to just be a sort of 'warm up'. The only way Michigan can rebound from this is if they go undefeated for the rest of the season, which I seriously doubt.
Even then, I seriously doubt Carr gets away unscathed, especially since Michigan got destroyed in the Rose Bowl last year. That and Michigan fans have never been on the Lloyd Carr band wagon.

Bahahahaha...this is great...
However, App St has been owning the D1AA for the last 2 years...they'll be getting an invite to D1A after this season.

Yeah, the whole time when I was looking up App State and how dominant they've been in I-AA is why they haven't moved up to I-A (for someone like Buffalo or Temple) yet.

I think it would be nice for them to move up to Div 1-A..that'd be awsome, but what conference? ACC? lord no!!! Maybe Conference USA!

ACC is hard enough as it is. Maryland doesn't need any more competition, we need all the wins we can get.

No, that's just one more good team Tulane needs to worry about.

How many fans do they draw per game, because you need an average of 15,000 per game to maintain D1A status?

its 15,000 per game over the course of a two years if you are D1A, if you dont meet that you go on probation.

Aftere what happened to Marshall I wonder how many teams will jump at the chance to move up. They did well for the first couple of years but they aren't anything near what they were at the 1-AA level.
I don't know much about the money difference, but I guess being a below average-average team in 1-A makes more money than a 1-AA national title contender?

I don't know, I think the rulings on the divisions should be more flexible, something like in European soccer leagues, where the teams that do extremely well on the lower circuit are able to move up, and the teams who perform poorly will be sent down to the minors, so to speak.
