Here's some sop about the Michigan/Appalachian State stunner! My daughters and I caught the highlights as they happened while eating BBQ in College Station, before we went to the Aggie game. Wow! If you can catch this on ESPN today (Sunday), watch the highlights and listen to the commentary, it's one for the ages.
No Division I-AA team had beaten a team ranked in The Associated Press poll from 1989-2006, and it's unlikely that it had ever happened before. The Division I subdivisions were created in 1978.

and
How could this possibly happen?
This is Michigan, Michigan, vs. Appalachian State. You and some friends should be able to throw on the Michigan helmet, jump up and touch the Go Blue sign, and by intimidation alone, beat Appalachian State!
