In their first game of the season, the Appalachian State Mountaineers, a Division 1AA school in Boone, North Carolina, went to the hallowed halls of the legendary football Wolverines of Michigan, and put a whuppin on them – 34-32.
Stunning. Impossible. Inconceivable. Michigan and college football will never be the same again.
But what of Appalachian State? Will they just be thought of as a spoiler? Or will they have a chance to compete for the national Bowl Champion Series? Forget it. The big boys control the BCS and they don't want any upstart playing on their field.
