Way to Go Appalachian State!!!! They Beat Michigan

Little Guys 1 Big Guys 0. That was one great game. I sure wish I had been watching it. Definitely a classic.

I guess Appalachian State will not be able to sneak up on anyone else anymore. But, hey, they have won two straight NCAA 1AA Championships in a row. People were definitely getting the old atlas out to see where Boone, NC, was located.

My college, Northern Illinois University, is 1A, but definitely lower echelon or Midlevel as they call it. We've given some of the Big Guys a run, but often as not, we lose at the end. But then there was that great year when we defeated Alabama, Maryland, and Iowa State on the way to a 10-2 record and STILL did not go to a Bowl Game!!!

We lost to Iowa at Soldiers Field in Chicago 16-3 on Saturday and take on 1AA Southern Illinois University in Dekalb Saturday. You'd think a 1A could beat a 1AA wouldn't you? Right, Michigan? I wouldn't be surprised if we lost. SIU has a really good team.

My sister Julie went to Georgia and nephew Andy to Tennessee. Both Big Guy schools. Actually, Northern was supposed to play Tennessee this season until they chickened out. We'll play Wisconsin instead.
