ASU Mountaineers
If I have posted my quiz on football four days later I would have been able to
add Appalachian State is the the first 1-AA team to defeat a 1-A team, Michigan. Three points I would like to make in my humble opinion-and I do mean humble.
1. Lots of people have posted on web sites about Michigan's coach and his poor judgement calls such as going for the 2 points after Michigan's touchdowns. Whatever. I DO know that not much has been posted about Jerry Moore's winning the 2005 & 2006 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coach Assoc. He is a great coach. He studied the tapes and made Michigan play his game. USA Today has a great article on this subject.
2. I think it is a shame that sportswriters were not able to vote to place APP in the top 25. Michigan is not the only team in the top 25 that could fall to the Mountaineers on any given day. In fact there are some in the top 25 that would fall to them most days. It's all about the money!
3. The win was NOT a fluke! Armanti Edwards, kicker Rauch and safety Corey Lynch ( blocked not one but two field goal attemptsl) didn't lose their cool in the last minutes, rather minute, of the game.
It's great to be a mountaineer!
PS Appalachian State was ranked as 2001 Time magazine College of the Year and has been ranked for the last 15 years in Top Schools in the South in US News and Reports. Enough already about ' unknown ' little school.
