Dear mother of God, it’s finally happened. A Division I-AA team (Appalachian State) has finally defeated an Division I-A (Michigan) opponent in what might just be the biggest upset in sports history. Yeah, even more of a historical upset than when those Indiana farm boys did it in “Hoosiers” (based on a real story, that one). It was more than David versus Goliath, it was a High School football team playing their Middle School brethren. It’s not supposed to happen. It NEVER happens. Every year, powerhouse teams like Michigan schedules soft meat like Appalachian State to get into a groove. It’s a glorified skirmish. Michigan is SUPPOSED to win. How big was Michigan supposed to win? So big that the gambling sportsbooks didn’t even ALLOW betting on the game! Final score: Appalachian State: 34, Michigan: 32. So only one question remains: When is the movie coming out, and can we PLEASE not have Matthew McConaughy play the coach in this one?
