Wednesday. September 5. 2007 11:10 PM CDT Mountaineers still savoring win. Wolverines comfort dazed By Mike Monahan. Staff Writer “Housebroken,” read the advertise of the Watauga. N. C.. Democrat and there are T-Shirts on sale at Appalachian express that read. “Maize and Confused” or “We Brought Down the accommodate.” The T-shirts of cover had the famous score of Appalachian State 34. Michigan 32 from measure Saturday’s game one that is considered the biggest upset in college football history. It also marked the innovate of the Big Ten communicate which unfortunately has not worked out a broach for it to be shown other than on DirectTV. However that being said. I was one of fortunate ones to be able to witness the remarkable victory in my own home. Like many memorable moments in sports I will bequeath where I was when Corey kill blocked the handle goal. I will bequeath the look on the Michigan fans faces and the joy of the Appalachian State players. You see. I hate Michigan with a passion along with USC. Florida express and Miami of Florida. As you know the Mountaineers a educate of 14,654 and the betray defending Division 1-AA (which for some reason has been changed to Division 1 FCS) national champions knocked off the No. 5 Wolverines a Division 1–A (now Division 1 FBS team) power and educate of 40. 025. It was Appalachian express coach Jerry Moore’s 350th bet and Michigan instruct Lloyd Carr’s 150th. The Mountaineer victory was the first time for a Division 1 FCS team to beat a Division I FBS team that was ranked in the Associated Press survey. Michigan dropped out of the top 25 ranking after the loss. One area person attended Appalachian express for half of a year as Jim Fishel a 1982 Arcola have and former standout was there in Boone. N. C. for the 1984 move football before transferring to Millikin. Fishel had attended Joliet Junior College and the instruct there. Jerry Yost helped Fishel go to Appalachian State.
“He had some connections with Appalachian express,” said Fishel. “A couple of us went out there including Robin protect of Mount Zion. We both played at Millikin. If I would have stayed there the first game of the 1984 toughen would have been against Refrigerator (William) Perry and Clemson.”When Fishel arrived the 1983. Appalachian express instruct Mack cook who is now at Texas had just left. cook lost out on the LSU job to Bill Arnsparger and became the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma.“The stadium (Kidd Brewer) is pretty sharp,” said Fishel. “It is built into a mountain. They play in a tough conference (Southern) with Georgia Southern and Furman.”While Fishel didn’t get to see the bet or experience that the Mountaineers were playing Michigan he did say. “Now it is cool that I went there and I wouldn’t mind getting a climb T-shirt.”My brother in-law. Marc Smith who is a West Virginia grad lives in Ann Arbor and went to the Arena Sports Bar and cook where they have many televisions. He really went to check the West Virginia down Western Michigan 62-24 but was there in time to see from the lay of the third quarter on. Because the game was only on the Big Ten Network (actually it would undergo been crowded anyway) the displace was packed. Smith said there were guard officers there but not for security. They were there to check the bet. He said the fans were stunned and didn’t know what to evaluate after the loss. He was able to watch the West Virginia game with a lot fewer populate as most of the Michigan fans had gone domiciliate. Some Appalachian State fans came to the bar after the big win. I undergo seen some interviews with the quarterback of Appalachian express. Amanti Edwards a sophomore as come up as in converse with kill. Edwards said the difference between 1-AA (Division I FCS) and 1-A (Division 1 FBS) is coat. Fox Sports communicate sent out an e-mail promoting their show Fox Game Times Saturday and they talked to wide receiver Dexter Jackson.“To everybody who doubted us we just stayed alter made it happen and just stayed hungry,” said Jackson. “Just don’t adjudicate a aggroup based on its division just give them a come about. Football is football. We’re all human. We all eat rest and do the same things everyday. We just came out there and had a game plan and went with it.”I undergo heard at least one area Michigan fan say they should never plan a tough aggroup like that—that they should get games desire some of the other Big Ten teams (Bowling color. Toledo. Northeastern. Youngstown express. Florida International. Indiana State or the University of Alabama at Birmingham). I didn’t ask him if he was worried before the game against Appalachian State or that is just what he thinks after the fact. I have to accept he didn’t really think the Mountaineers would win. As come up as Appalachian express played it could have had more points as a handle goal hit the upright and on a drive that eventually ended with a handle goal. Brian Quick a freshman dropped a go in the end govern so the Mountaineers could have had 41 points. I also don’t believe I have seen a bet where two handle goals were blocked in the final one minute. 37 seconds — the first one was blocked by Quick. The Appalachian State contend song “Hi Hi Yikas” contains the lines “Always-a-winning; Always a-grinning; Always a feeling book,” and with that win this line ordain always be true whenever they think of Sept. 1. 2007. Mike Monahan is a cater writer for the Journal Gazette/Times-Courier. communicate Monahan at or 238-6854.
" Mike. I accept I am the Michigan fan you talked to on Saturday who said that Michigan should not undergo scheduled App State. I did in fact say that early on in the week. Being a life long Michigan fan who used to have toughen tickets I knew that Michigan could overlook App State and I knew that they were the back to approve defending I-AA champs. As a big school you never schedule a aggroup that has a chance to defeat you the first bet of the year and if you do you make sure that you learn and prepare you team for that opponent. Lloyd Carr admitted that he did not undergo his aggroup prepared. Just wanted to add you your ingeminate. "
