Thank you!


We all should have known what was to come later on in the year when ASU went into the Big House and handed Big Blue a loss that will not soon be forgotten on the first day on the season. While this most memorable season as already come and gone you still continue to hear critics wanting a playoff system implemented now. I just do not get it. It seemed to me that almost every single Saturday this year was a playoff. It sure felt like it with stunning upsets and overtime thrillers becoming almost a given on any given Saturday.


What a year.....

The Appalachian Effect in N.C.A.A. Football

Remember when the Michigan Wolverines kicked off their football season last year with a loss to Appalachian State University ? Some people called it the biggest upset in college football history . Well, as Mike Huguenin notes at Rivals.com , it looks like the big-time schools are being a lot more careful this year in picking their supposedly patsy opponents. Appalachian, meanwhile, is hoping to start the ‘08 season even more outrageously than last year: against the defending national champs L.S.U . It should not be forgotten that Appalachian has won the past three national championships at its level.
