PING MICHIGAN FANS
 

Come on, this deserves it's own thread!

What a perfect start to the day!

Ann Arbor is such a slut.

This should have been my thread, but I didn't feel like getting a lecture on class by the whiney wolverine brigade.

So thanks, Shorty. :)

In all seriousness, what an inexcusable loss and Lloyd Carr certainly has lost his job by the end of this year.

Heads will roll!

ASU>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>UAB

I'm happy with that.

I wonder how many of those are U-M fans that are too humiliated to show themselves? :D

This plus Notre Dame looking like ass has really made for a great start to the college football season. :)

I want ND and OSU to win. That would just make U-M even more depressed.

OSU already did it's job. I am down to see ND lose as well.

Well, you already have the OSU victory, so spot us ND losing -- mmmkay?

No he won't

(Well, I hate to admit this, but I usually root for ND, since I was born about a couple of hours from South Bend.)

I dont get it, whats with all this? Was it MY fault they lost or something? LOL. I'm gonna go cut the grass.

Not your fault, but it's fun to hammer home to your sickeningly conceited fanbase that your team got beat by a 1-AA TEAM AT HOME.

:D

Not my team, i dont get any ticket proceeds or concession profits. Take a breath.

This has done wonders for my hangover. :(

just yesterday i told all my friends that my pick for overrated team this year was Michigan...granted, i didnt expect them to lose until later in the year, but this will do :)

Notre Dame is losing, Mizzou is winning, the world is as it should be

I think I picked the wrong day to attend my first college football game in 17 years.

Congrats to the Mountaineers. That wasn't even a lucky win, they came in here with a lot of heart, and made the Wolverines look bad.

Ouch, you were there?

I know it's no consolation to you, but as you saw on the field Appy St. really is a very good football program as i've been saying all over this board. ;)

There's only one time I can remember anyone personally insulting me on this board (I'm not very controversial), and it was a Michigan fan, and it was because I had the gall to argue that they shouldn't be in the national championship game last year.

Not that that guy is necessarily representative the fanbase, but I tend to agree with Schmidty's assessment above.

It'll make the Spartys look bad when a team who lost to a 1-AA team steamrolls them at home ;)

Promotion and relegation to college football!!

Man...that just reminded me that my brother-in-law is going to the UTEP game tonight. This is the first UTEP game he's attended since that infamous LT game back in '98 or '99. He quit going after that game because they hadn't won a game he had been at in years. Hopefully that personal trend of his doesn't continue tonight.

Man, I feel kind of bad now. Sorry you had to witness that live. :(

Please ignore the signature in this post.

I wonder how Lloyd Carr and that coaching staff can keep their job after this game. This has to be one of the biggest if not the biggest upset in the last 20 years of major college football. This game will be remembered for along time after today and will be apart of sports trivia.

I expect Michigan to bounce back and try to make something of this season.

Any talk about the 2-point conversion late in the 3rd, which also led to the failed 2-point conversion in the 4th, that led to the 2-point loss? Just kick the freakin' XP in the 3rd, there's plenty of time...

According to ESPN, it's the first time a I-AA team has beaten a ranked opponent ever.

Yay for ASU - my wife's cousin went there and both sides of her family spent summers in nearby Blowing Rock. Nice little school (lot of new construction last time we were there though), happy for them.

From the week 1 thread:

This loss was inexcusable, but Appalachian State deserved the win, Michigan earned this loss. The tackling was horrible, the coverage nonexistant... Just a game that you have to look at and learn everything you can from to wipe the grin that other teams on the schedule have on their faces tonight.

Learn from this mistake. Make everyone else pay.

On that point, you just never know. CU went for two at the end of the third quarter, after completing an 86 yard drive. They converted it. Nobody scored in the fourth til CU kicked the FG to tie the game.

Sometimes you just have to go with your gut on the timing of when to go. I fault Carr for a lot of things that happened today, but this isn't one of them.

I was so happy to see this, I always like to see ASU do well, especially since their QB Armanti Edwards is from my hometown.

Ugh, this is disgusting. I have this feeling of helplessness, like something was stolen from me. I think Monday should be reserved for all alumni to either head down to Ann Arbor, or at least put in a phone call, and make the team listen to how pissed off everyone is. Anyway, as I say 9 out of every 10 years, when Michigan fails to get out of their non-conference schedule undefeated, all I care about is winning the Big Ten anyway.

Heard about this late last night, what a great upset. Now, onto something important. There is a town called Blowing Rock? Thats obscene. :)

I wonder how many times you'd have to play BBCF before appalachian st would ever beat michigan...I'm thinking a few trillion?

:eek:

lloyd carr has promised the booster club that a patch will be coming out shortly...but henne, hart and long will NOT be able to reload a save from prior to the June draft.

Blowing Rock/Boone area is a really nice place to visit for a vacation if you like the mountains :)

I can understand the App. State fans, but don't PSU & OSU fans know that this isn't good for their conference too.

As an OSU fan I'd theoretically rather see Michigan go 0-12 than see them win every game but against OSU... guess I'm selfish that way.

I guess I can understand that too as I'd always like to see uofa go 0-12 every year, but if they lose next week to Northern Arizona, or any "former D-IAA" school it just makes the whole conference look bad. I wouldn't be suprised if Michigan comes out and smacks Oregon around next week and see the "Pac-10 sucks because Michigan beat Oregon and App. State beat Michigan" talk start...but I'd also not be suprised if Oregon gives them another loss too. :)

I don't think of those arguments (x sucks bc they lost to Mich because they lost to App) will hold any water because everyone knows Michigan is still a legitimate team.

As a Big East guy, I have to root for our schools to beat other BCS conferences, because any loss results in the fucking morons belting out the "this is why the BE sucks" speech. I guess the Big 10 doesn't have to deal with that, even though it's an extremely top heavy conference, which the rest of the country hasn't seemed to realize yet.

I think App State needs to win the rest of their games this year so they can legitimize this win. I mean, two-time defending Natl Champs, I figure they know how to win and all..but they have to basically dominate 1-AA again this season, because all of those 1-AA schools (I won't call them FCS) will be gunning to beat the team that beat Michigan.

I don't get what you mean when you write "legitimizing this win". Going into Ann Arbor and beating Michigan is a self-legitimizing thing, don't you agree? Even during Michigan's "off years" they're still pretty tough to take down at home, I'd imagine.

Actually, I've heard many U-M fans admit (even my dad) that even though Michigan Stadium is big, the fans are quiet. They are basically spoiled and don't make a whole lot of noise relative to the amount of fans in attendance, because they expect their team to win.

Not only that, but their fan base is filled with stuffed-shirt chumps and band-wagon riding losers that cheer politely when they win, and half-heartedly boo win they lose.

I hate them so much. Goodness, I hate them.

Not really.

If somehow (barring a rash of injuries or something like that) Appy ends up finishing 7-4 then I think this pretty much gets written off as a complete fluke. I don't believe they have to win out or anything, but they have to at least get to the end of the season considered a top team in I-AA for this year for them to retain any "hey, they're pretty good" respect from most people.

Dola.

You know, I just want to clarify that this isn't just because I'm an MSU fan. It's because U-M fans are spoiled and don't appreciate it. They expect to be the darlings, the "victors". When they aren't, they fake-casually detach themselves. A perfect example of this is U-M basketball. During good times, sellouts and love. Since the early '90s, yawns and apathy. The fans don't even seem to care.

Yeah, yeah, I know that every team's fans do that stuff to some degree, but I guarantee that despite the fact that Spartan fans, or even Lions fans, have gone through football hell for a long time, they still stick with their team much more than the vast, vast majority of Wolverine fans.

I hate them so much. It's unhealthy.

I suppose that makes sense to me.
