Appalachian State 34- (#5) Michigan 32
Now this is embarrassing. It's one thing to lose to a Division 1-AA school. Colorado did that last year, which was bad. but Colorado wasn't ranked, wasn't good, and had a new coach. Michigan has (had) two potential Heisman candidates (Chad Henne, Mike Hart) and a potential number one overall pick in the NFL draft (Jake Long). Further, at least we know where Montana State is. Where the hell is Appalachian State? Appalachian isn't a state, or even a city. It's an area. you might as well go to a school called Amber Waves of Grain A&M or Take a Right on Main Street After You See The Denny's Tech. I think Appalachian State must be in a Virgina. Regular Virginia or West Virginia or South Virginia or something.
How valuable can a degree from Appalachian State even be? The only majors they have there are Moonshine and Possum Shooting. On the higher education hierarchy, Appalachian State has to rank just below that International Correspondence School that offers degrees in TV/ VCR repair and refrigeration and just above the University of Nebraska.
If you watched the game, you were treated to 45 minutes of talking about the hippies who are living in trees in protest of a proposed athletic facility. Even Musberger seemed to hate them. Don't hippies want to win the Rose Bowl? Since Cal already owns the trees they want to cut down, and have already said they'd plant three trees for every tree they cut down. I don't see the problem. If I were Cal, I'd tell those dirty hippies to get the fuck out of my trees. If they didn't, I'd just start chopping. I bet those smelly bastards will get out of my trees then. In fact, I'd put a big wood chipper right underneath the trees for extra incentive.
In actual game action, Cal has a whole lot of really fast guys, starting with DeSean Jackson, Justin Forsett, LaVelle Hawkins, Robert Jordan, and Jahvid Best. Unfortunately, none of those guys play defense. The Cal/ USC game should be fun to watch. Take the over.

Dear SEC fans: Please shut the fuck up about how great your stupid conference is. You sound like assholes. The Vols got blown out by Cal and Auburn went down to the wire against a Kansas State team that only has one decent player (Josh Freeman, who is a goddamn monster). the rest of your annoying league beat he likes of Western Kentucky, Western Carolina, and Mississippi State (oh wait- they're an SEC team).

Did you see the hippies partying "Berkely style" on national tv? Thats like 45 minutes from my house, I might have to go check those trees out myself.
Oh, and I did bet the over on that game. Thany you Desean Jackson.
Sorry, but one more thing you will laugh at per espn.com:
First came word via "The Today Show" of a recruiting coup for the little school in the North Carolina mountains. Caitlin Upton, the freshly famous Miss Teen South Carolina, whose dingbat answer to a beauty pageant question became an instant YouTube classic, told Matt Lauer she planned to attend Appalachian State. This might not have dazzled the academic folks on campus, but I guarantee the male students are stoked.
...and Georgia didn't crush a good Oklahoma State team?
How soon you forget the beatdown that Tennessee put on Cal last season. The SEC is easily a better conference than the Pac 10 IMO.
I agree that, top to bottom, the SEC is the best conference. But I get tired of reading that the national champion has to beat the SEC champ to be relevant, or that USC wouldn't survive the SEC schedule. It's foolish talk. SEC fans refuse to believe that football exists outside of the south. If you really feel that way- pull a Notre Dame and secede from the NCAA. Put your mouth where your money is (and those assholes have more money than they can spend). Otherwise, shut the fuck up. (and this is coming from a Florida fan.) It's the Georgia and Alabama fans who piss me off- your teams fucking suck. You have nothing to brag about other than the SEC brand.
Oh I have no doubt that USC could win the SEC. And this is coming from someone who will probably be attending an SEC school next year (Florida). But I do agree about Alabama and Georgia fans. They piss me off. I'm a Mississippi State fan so I've never had much room to talk smack about my team!
sorry Kyle- Georgia can't possibly be as good as they looked against Okie State. I refuse to live in a world where Matt Stafford can improve that much in one off season.
and all SEC teams run the same offense: bubble screen to fast guy in space, pray for him to make play. That's as complicated a scheme as people from the south can understand.
