app. states lack of class.

App State won the right to wear any t shirt it wants. Michigan should be ashamed of themselves, take it like a man. #5 losing to a IAA, please.

It's the biggest win the program will ever see. Let them celebrate. They weren't over rubbing the stuff in Michigan's face after the game. All I've seen and heard from App. State's players and coaches since the win has been very respectful. I'm lost as to where these shirts are showing a 'lack of class' from the school and program.

I'm with you 100% on these 'powerhouses' scheduling supposedly weak opponents, though. If you are in the top-25, you shouldn't be able to even contemplate scheduling a 1-AA team. It's exactly like you said, they are basically paying a half-million for a win. Luckily (maybe not so much for UM) it came back to bite one of them.

As a IAA and SoCon fan...If The Citadel beats App St does that mean we are better than Michgan and any Big10 teams they beat this year and the team they beat in a BCS bowl?
Gotta' like it.

Mountaineer Power baby!!!! Lack of class? LOL

Ahh, c'mon Airman. Michigan Who is pretty tame.

I personally would want a shirt that read:

"#5 App. State"

Or

"Fifth Ranked App. St 34 MU 32

If its classless call me classless then b/c I ordered one! As an App State alumni I believe that win was bigger for our school than the two back to back championships combined. Our school and community has spent more time on national TV since Saturday than we did for winning back to back championships combined, so I plan on enjoying this win, especially since I despise all Big 10 Teams. I will say that Coach Carr and Coach Moore and their programs handled this game with alot of class both before and after the upset, but as for me as a fan, let me enjoy the win, and have a suvenior to remember it by!

Hey, the school and community would have looked a WHOLE lot more respectable had they chilled out a little bit.

Was it a great win; of course. Do I like watching Michigan lose; OF COURSE (Wisconsin fan). But, I don't think the t-shirts are necessary. Just keep your mouth shut and let the Ws do the talking for you.

I LOVVVVE this thread. There has been NO lack of class by ANYONE even remotely close to the Mountaineer program. Just whining by immature losers not yet used to losing. Its funny but I feel a little sad for you in my heart. I guess though you have to concern yourselves with Appy States "program" since you don't have one in Michigan anymore. Anything to take the focus off the excuse for football being played up there huh? I don't blame ya. Divert that attention. Regardless it is, "Meechigan who?"

This thread is somewhat silly. One loss or one win does not make (or break) a program. Both universities and athletic programs are obviously top-notch. App. States win was an upset no doubt -- the proportion of that upset is based more on a person's view -- and while I wouldn't classify it as a "fluke" I would dare to say that in the long-term (if this game were played year after year) that Michigan would likely win the greater majority of them. However, last Saturday, it was very apparent that App. State was the better team or, at the very least, played better than Michigan that day. They earned and deserved that victory. Celebrating a victory such as that is great and fun. Most of the "antics" deemed "classless" (again, based on a person's view) are led by those outside the program ... i.e. fans and media. Based on what little I know of Coach Moore he has his players well-grounded and teaches them to keep things in perspective. He said it best when he mentioned that if the team is not careful (focused on their ultimate prize) then they could stumble and then what has this win truly done for them. Without a doubt, the victory over Michigan will have a huge impact on future recruiting for them. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to say that Michigan "doesn't have one [progam] anymore" because they lost to App. State. Honestly, knocking Michigan down (as some App. State 'fans' or the media choose to do) would seem to lessen the victory.. i.e. if Michigan is a 'nobody' then App. State beat a 'nobody'. Obviously, that is not the case. They beat a very good Michigan team (albeit, probably not one capable of being a top 5 team this year) and a program that is very storied and tradition rich. Thus, the victory is of greater impact than if App. State had beaten say, Minnesota. (not knocking the Gophers, jd, just that the recent history of their program not the same as UM). While I have never seen the 'logic' of the "Michigan Who?" or the "whatever who?" slogans that always pop up, I completely understand the euphoria taking place on the App. State campus and with their fan base. But, we need to keep this all in proper perspective... one game does not a season nor a program make.

I don't I would like to be the Oregon Ducks right now, having to play Michigan after that loss. You think the Wolverines are having a hard-core back to the basics week of practice.

I would bet one of two things will happen.

A) Michigan's coaches fed the players the proverbial "raw meat" the players respond appriopriately and take out all there frustrations by playing Duck Hunt in front of 100,000 people.

B) Despite all thier best efforts Michigan is still hung-over from the loss to App. State and plays a lame-duck of a game.

I'm a big Michigan fan, so believe me when I say I've been geting some solid harrassment from my buddies over this loss. They got beat and as was stated earlier, bragging rights are huge in college football. You suck it up and move on and let App St enjoy this huge win for the program. I love that they have the t-shirts made, that's all part of why I love college ball. That and you play the games for a reason, you just never know what can happen.

I could be mistaken, but I think that the "Michigan Who?" shirts are more of a shot at them over looking Appy than saying "who is Michigan". Like a Michigan fan on Friday saying "who do we play tomorrow?", another responds "Appalachian State", first one says "Appalachian Who?".

Just a thought. That's what I interpreted the shirts as. Either way, the story will be the same in 20 years, David still beat Goliath. No one other than those who still have their "Michigan Who?" shirt in a shadow box will even remember what it said.

Now...what is Michigan beats Ohio St?
