28-17 the big house is booing id just love to see LLoyd in that locker room at half app state will get shut down in the second half probably but app state offense is really raw LLoyd losses this game he gets fired tommorow absolutley no doubt about it

[TheDoctor]

Llyod is NOT getting fired! He is a legend. Did Joe Pa get fired when he lost 80% of their games 3 years ago? ;)

[SlickVic]

LLoyds not a legend lost 4 straight to thee ohio state 4 straight bowl games losing to a D1 aa team would def get him fired absolutley no doubt about it this is suposidly his last year anyway id love to see mich go down doubt that will happen im def whatching the 2nd half tho power bowl is not an option anymore

[SlickVic]

picked off michigan with great field position

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

Anybody listen to Herbstriet, Fowler and the rest of the crew carry on about IA schools scheduling IAA schools this morning on Game Day? They talked about what a joke it is for Mich to schedule App St and Ohio St to schuedule Youngstown St. Kept calling IAA cupcakes.

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

App St just dropped a wide open TD, but made FG. 8 minutes left in the 3rd Qtr. App St up 11.

[SlickVic]

app state just had a for sure TD pass dropped

[NDSUFREAK]

Shocking the world right now.....

[SlickVic]

id really like to know whats up with mike hart tho 10 carries for 57 yards and a TD but i havnt seen him since mid 2nd quarter

[tcbison]

FUMBLE! Recovered by ASU!

[SlickVic]

mich just fumbled wow wow wow D 1 aa all the way baby

[tcbison]

FG hit the right upright...Damn! Reminds me of the NDSU/Minneota game last year.

[SlickVic]

missed fg hopefully hart comes back in real quick like

[lakesbison]

what channel is this on?

[lakesbison]

espn said they are glued to it during the Va Tech game

[SlickVic]

big ten network baby nobody in fargo wants it tho hahaha what a joke

[SlickVic]

touchdown michigan!!!

[lakesbison]

BTN RULES!!

31-26.. cmon APPY!

[SlickVic]

appys goin down but what a statement for D1 aa

[SlickVic]

what do you guys think ndsu would do against appy tho there offense is really slick

[CaBisonFan]

what do you guys think ndsu would do against appy tho there offense is really slick

I think that it would be a very good game....close. Their offense rocks...but we have a great defense...or at least had.

[tcbison]

Interception by ASU! YES!

[CaBisonFan]

espn said they are glued to it during the Va Tech game

I think that they should buy some better glue. It's not working very well.

[BraxtonT]

Less than 7:00 to go. Still 31-26. Appy takes over on downs. Go FCS!!

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

App St still up 5 with 7 minutes to go. Mich just turned it over on downs.

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

App St offense has been brutal the last quarter and half. I dont think they have had a frist down. Edwards has turned it over twice, missed a FG and Dropped a TD. Under 5 minuted Mich ball.

[BraxtonT]

Appy punts after three plays. Michigan has good field position. TV timeout. 4:51 to go.

Go FCS!!

[SlickVic]

wheres mike hart? oh theres mike hart wow is he slick

[BraxtonT]

First play from scrimmage, Hart runs 53 yards for a TD. Conversion fails!!

Michigan now up 32-31 with 4:36 to go.

Appy has two timeouts remaining as they begin from the 27 yard line.

Go FCS!!

[BraxtonT]

1st offensive play gets intercepted. It looks like 109,000 are going to go home relieved.

[SlickVic]

chea appy showed what d 1 aa footballs all about

[SlickVic]

hart for heisman tho i mean has there been a better running back in college football since LJ?

[SlickVic]

FG blocked by appy 1 37 left anything can happen

[NDSUstudent]

With a small QB that is so quick you would think App would roll out their QB more but they just keep him in the pocket. They did some more things in the first with option runs but the 2nd half has been pretty bland.

[SlickVic]

that qb from appy is the definition of dangerous

[SlickVic]

trickeration failed how intense is this

[SlickVic]

yeah appy might shock the world no doubt about it

[lakesbison]

appy will do this!! hook and ladder is coming!!

[BraxtonT]

It's not over yet. Appy has two first downs. 1 and 10 from the Michigan 40. 1:15 to go.

Another first down with :50 to go. 29 yard line.

Go FCS!!

[SlickVic]

hopefully they get this and LLoyd gets canned how does he not run hart 3 times lloyds a complete fool

[tcbison]

ASU's FG kicker can make it from here if they need to! Go ASU!

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

Appy at the 5

[SlickVic]

appy at the 5 my oh my

[BraxtonT]

1st and goal from the Michigan 5 yard line!!!!!!!!!!!!

:30 to go. Only need a field goal now.

Wow, this Big Ten Network is great!!!!

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

30 seconds left. If you were the coach, what would you do?

[SlickVic]

wow this is sick just sick i dont even want to hear comparasions to boise state there is no comparision this appy team would kill boise state last year absolutley destroy them this is in a category of its own if they can pull it off kicking a field go with 30 sec left my oh my

[NDSUstudent]

That was dumb, App State has gotta run a play and then spike the ball. Don't they? Or at least force Michigan to burn their last timeout.

[tcbison]

FG is good! YESSS!!!!!!!

[Bison_Pride]

FG is good

[bisonmike2]

That was dumb, App State has gotta run a play and then spike the ball. Don't they?

that's what I was thinking.

[tcbison]

This could be the biggest upset of all time!

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

to much time. Michigan is going to have a chance to pull this out. App should have ran more time off the clock

[SlickVic]

michigan deserved to lose this and appy deserved to win this game but i mean michigan has to fire lloyd dont they?

[SlickVic]

yeah hopefully henne can pull some magic here

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

Mich still has a timeout. 16 seconds left

[Bison_Pride]

was it 4th down? Maybe they were worried about a bad snap.

[SlickVic]

super mario wow this game is sick

[SlickVic]

mario's a heart breaker wow hahahaha kids a stud

[bisonmike2]

was it 4th down? Maybe they were worried about a bad snap.

i thought it was 1st and goal. looks like a big play. should've ran the time off the clock.

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

Michigan wins, FG, wow what a bonehead decision by Appy not to run more time off.

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

Kick blocked. What a game.

[tcbison]

Michigan wins, FG, wow what a bonehead decision by Appy not to run more time off.

Blocked!!!! That is the ball game!

[Tatanka]

Props To Appy!!! What A Game!!!

[NDSUstudent]

WOW, that is all I can say!

[bisonmike2]

Fg Blocked!

[SlickVic]

oh shit greatest game ever hands down wow that game was just sick my oh my bye bye lloyd

[BraxtonT]

WOW!!!!!!!!! Blocked FG to end the game.

Appalachian State 34

Congratulations!

[SiouxHockeyBisonFo]

Cant wait to hear what Herbstreit has to say. So much for his cupcake speech from earlier today.

[roadwarrior]

They are HOT HOT HOT!

[SlickVic]

cant wait to see what lloyd has to say for him self cant wait to see what the living legend says hahaha my oh my

[SlickVic]

wow armani edwards is tight "we just beat michigan you know plain and simple" haha wow is he sweet

[tcbison]

This if the first time a FCS team has beaten a FBS team that was ranked by the Associated Press. What an historical game!

[lakesbison]

WOW.... Big TEN network RULES... SCREW U CABLE ONE!! hahaha


I GOT DIRECT TV!!

[onbison09]

HOLY *(^%(*((&*^&(^!!! What a game!!! App State is definitely HOT HOT HOT!!! Take that Gameday!!!

[TAILG8R]

I'm sure you all have looked at all the stats and decided what it was that allowed App State to pull off this upset today. I bet most of you overlooked the most important factor. Linky (http://youtube.com/watch?v=pVENWl8uBeg)

[TheDoctor]

WOW! My brother LIVES and BREATHES Michigan football from the day they start getting recruited. He might be giving my Bison a little more respect after today! ;)

[KC_Hats]

Bison have a shot at beating two FBS teams this year. Great game by Appalachian State. :nod: :D

I would have rolled Edwards out and went for the TD when they had first and goal he could have ran, passed or threw it away. That would have burned some more clock and a TD would have been the major dagger.

[TheDoctor]

SlicVic----You told me on Friday you were going to the PowerBowl! One less snobber backer in the crowd! They need you! ;)

[KC_Hats]

SlicVic it is FCS there is no longer a I-AA.:banghead:

[onbison09]

The correct link (mhd1823's link didn't work) is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVENWl8uBeg&mode=related&search. Appy State is definitely HOT HOT HOT!!

[SlickVic]

yeah i did hit up the second half of the cobber game and am glad i did that game was pretty slick seen little danny as well with his go blue hat so i had to give him a hard time he was legit with it tho said that appy deserved the W

[SlickVic]

that cobber game was tight tho tomeo is an absolute retard passing 3 straight times with a min 45 left cobbers with no time out it took every passing play in there play book but the cobbs pulled off some magic of there own dustin long is a complete fool tho kid needs to retire

[KC_Hats]

Did the Cobbers win?:blush:

[SlickVic]

chea last second td game was pretty intense

[BisonNeil]

Hey...Did Michigan play today???

Well, no, not really, tee hee.

[Bisonguy]

Well, no, not really, tee hee.

BS. Michigan showed up and played. Appalachian State was the better team. :ranting:

[BisonNeil]

BS. Michigan showed up and played. Appalachian State was the better team. :ranting:

I beg to differ, Meechigan did not show up. Yes, Appl St was good, but the Wolves were terrible and did not respect them, aka, they didn't show up. Michigan has had top 10 recruiting classes each of the past five years in FBS, clearly with 22 more scholies they were, on paper, the better team. Meechigan just got outplayed, over-looked, and outcoached, and that is no BS.

[Bisonguy]

A major part of the game is mental. If they were overlooking ASU, they didn't perform better at that portion of the game.


ASU won. They were the better team today. The scoreboard proves it.

[56BISON73]

Top ten recruiting classes dont mean squat if those classes dont develope. Many of the supposed studs from HS drop out, flunk out, get kicked out, get hurt, dont develope or play.
There was a PRECONCEIVED notion that UM was the better team. NOT Today.

UM didnt show up???? Then who were those guys running around with those funny stripes on their helments??? LOL PL

develope? Obviously your inabilityu to spell did not impede your BS degree.

Better, as in victory, you are all right. The better team, as in Appl St, on THAT day wins.

But, Meechigan had better talent. Last year the Goophers had better talent, we won the statistical game, but not the score.

Meechigan was the the better team today, they just didn't show it. Appl St played well and won, and that is wonderful.

I am not trying to get into an argument, but the fact remains that in most cases FBS teams have 22 MORE scholies thand FCS teams, and they will be better, game in and game out, the statistics prove that each year.

[extremerouge]

congrats go to appy they outworked michigan and were the better team today

[Scooter1]

I got to watch the entire game. Wow, what a fantasic statement for the FCS. ASU quarterback looked all world in the first half, very good to average in the second. I think that man for man Michigan had better talent and showed as much when they stopped the stunting on the defensive line after halftime. The ASU QB didn't have the lanes in the second half that he had in the first which caused him to make some errant throws. As for Michigan, two missed field goals at the end of the game? WTF? The better TEAM won this game. Congrats go out to ASU, you're HOT HOT HOT.

michigan had over 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing those are pretty dominant offensive numbers i think they showed up and played but mike hart whatever happen with him in the 2nd and 3rd quarter probably cost michigan the game there was no way appy was stopping mike hart absolutley no way possible in college football the best team doesnt always win lloyds pretty dumb going for 2 in the 3rd 2 extra points and the game is tied going into overtime but who am i to question lloyd? hes a living legend

You must be related to lakes. :D PL

[KC Bison]

I don't think this was a one-shot deal with Michigan. Last year NDSU beat Ball State at Ball State and later in the year Ball State went into Michigan and only lost 34-26. Michigan was 10-0 at the time so not exactly a bad team either. The gap between the upper level of Division I poll only teams and Division I play for a championship teams has been greatly dimished.

Nice write-up by the App State SID here:

http://www.goasu.com/article/10988/?fSession=afd86955aa1a6e0f8214cd3b91545198a526941e

NDSU got a mention in it:


Despite Appalachian scoring FCS’s only victory in four matchups against Big Ten opponents on Saturday, FCS squads are still 3-5 versus the Big Ten in the last eight FCS-Big Ten meetings. FCS teams are just one point shy of being even with the Big Ten in the last eight matchups — Minnesota squeaked by North Dakota State, 10-9, last Oct. 21.

Not bad considering that they were all away games.

[Herd]

For our game with Minnesota, there will be no sneaking up on the gophers, especially if we are ranked in the top 5 at that time, with our name near App St's. Last years close call will have the gophers ready, and the App/Mich game will lock them in.

That said, I'm not sure that we will have to sneak up to beat them. By mid-October they will either be up and playing better, or out of the Bowl race licking their wounds. I'm guessing the latter, but who knows.

The App St. win will have an impact on all furture FCS/FBS matchups. They could have hurt our shot to play a Wisconsin or Nebraska. You'd think that Wisconsin is taking note. It appears that it is much more respectable for a top ranked FBS team to lose to Temple or Buffalo than a highly ranked FCS team, even though we know that top ranked FCS teams are better teams.

[NorthernBison]

The Big 10 Commissioner is probably planning to make a personal visit to Brewster to emphasize the point that Big 10 teams don't lose to FCS teams. After the Michigan debacle, they are probably pretty sensitive to the potential to become a mid-major FCS conference.

I watched the Gopher game and they do put some impressive athletes on the field. If they can ever get the coaching thing figured out, our best effort would be needed to have a chance to win. I haven't marked this game down as a "W" for the Bison but, Saturday's performance by the Gophers gives me a lot more hope.

Remember AGS. One game at a time Bison. This is still a tough schedule regardless of how badly some of our opponents played in round one. We had trouble with SFA last year and they deserve respect. SHSU is traditionally tough in the Southland and we can't get complacent.

I watched Mississippi Valley State play Arkansas Pine Bluff on CSTV. Hard to tell much but it didn't look good. The field at Ita Bena looked like a high football field. Hope coach Bohl has a map to help find the place. I'd hate to lose by forfeit because the team couldn't find the town.

[bisonranch]

The most disappointing part of App St's win is that they are getting no credit for it. On ESPN last night Michigan players we saying, "man, we're just not supposed to lose to a team like that, what's wrong with us"...kind of making FCS teams sound like jr. high rejects. They're on the same level as far as age and some talent. Michigan gets a much bigger stage. I hope we see a few more beat downs handed out by FCS teams this year.

Took the words away from my keyboard Herd. What is amazing is the elitist attitude of FBS teams towards FCS. From the Big whatever schools, to the players, their coaches and their fans, they all seem to think they just show up and should win. Also need to include the commentators who are all part of networks that are pretty much owned by FBS teams. Even the NCAA itself has a smug attitude. If you think about it the bowl structure really doesn't draw out the best in teams because all they are doing is competing for the best one game bowl appearance. I also really wonder if some of the super spoiled super studs who grace the rosters of the top FBS teams really put 100% of their superior skills on the field (their pumped up egos get in the way).
So how can teams like NDSU, App and other top FCS teams compete with the so called powerhouses? First of all, the caliber of athlete at a program like NDSU is not that far below that of the average FBS team. Maybe NDSU and App are more resourceful with their recruiting efforts. They find the diamond in the rough. The kid that was awesome in high school or junior college and has a great attitude, but he might have been just a shade under one of the big boys requirements for height, weight or speed. The coaches that find these players are also often in the same league as the top guys in FBS. Believe it or not some great coaches choose to stay in FCS rather than just go for the big money in FBS. Another factor is winning tradition of programs like NDSU and App. Is it any different than Michigan, USC, Notre Dame or Florida? Tradition helps bring out teamwork, commitment and the best all around athlete. Maybe less in numbers, but fans of teams like NDSU and App are just as excited about their team as compared to fans of Michigan. Also less in stature, but equally impressive, are the facilities of teams like NDSU or App. They are on par in quality with most of FBS.
The only real disadvantage NDSU or App has when playing FBS teams is the number of scholarships. Is 63 really that much less than the 85 of FBS? How many are needed to field a great team? If scholarships aren't wasted and teams stay healthy maybe 63 is enough.
So how hard will it now be for top FCS teams to get a chance to play top FBS teams. Are the bowl babies too scared to play teams who earn their right to claim a championship? Is it too risky? Better to stay in their world of superiority, but not have to prove it. It will be interesting how the NCAA will react. Will new rules be put in place to restrict games between the subdivisions? Will the NCAA look at lowering scholarships for FCS? Not possible? Think again. How can you not doubt the motivations of an organization bent on protecting the status quo. Remember the recent moratorium on teams wanting to move up to FBS? What was the rationale for that move? If a university is good enough and meets all criteria why not let them move up. Makes me wonder if FCS teams will get fair officiating from now on when they play FBS teams. Too much of an embarassment when the spoiled brats lose.

[SDbison]

The most disappointing part of App St's win is that they are getting no credit for it. On ESPN last night Michigan players we saying, "man, we're just not supposed to lose to a team like that, what's wrong with us"...kind of making FCS teams sound like jr. high rejects. They're on the same level as far as age and some talent. Michigan gets a much bigger stage. I hope we see a few more beat downs handed out by FCS teams this year.
It is interesting how little attention App's overall competitivness with powerhouse Michigan is getting, let alone the fact that they simply beat them. This was no fluke. Really stinks of how much in bed the networks are with the top FBS teams.
Maybe App should move up to FBS? Oh I forgot, not only would they have to go through the normal ridiculous NCAA transition period, but now there is a moratorium on moving up. The genius of the NCAA shows through again!

[onbison09]

The NCAA has always been considered stupid, ridgid, insert your favorite adjective here. App State could beat a lot of mid to low level FBS teams that frankly aren't that good but still make bowl games. I'm also sick of this bull that the Michigan players are like "We aren't supposed to lose to teams like that". Well you didn't show up and got your ass kicked. If Michigan didn't have Mike Hart that game wouldn't have been close.

[SlickVic]

dont know what you guys are talking about but the gophers will get killed appy would beat bowling green by 3 or 4 tds the gophs might not win a game

[Bisonguy]

Period, comma, semicolon. Use them. They're your friends.

[Hammerhead]

The Sagarin ratings should be interesting this year. The Appy state win is only making me more excited to see the Bison in action.

A little off topic here, but am I the only one who can't help but think of the Appalachacian Emergency Room skit on Saturday Night Live every time I hear Appy state?

http://snl.jt.org/photo.php?t=2&i=490&d=0

[56BISON73]

Hart and Long gave kudos to Appy as they should have. Plus they did so without being patronizing. I thought Hart said it the best and showed class. PL
