ASU Beats Michigan

In one more sports related story, before we get back to politics and bloodshed. I wanted to say what an amazing David versus Goliath feat occurred Saturday against Michigan.

In a stunner for the ages, Appalachian State University, courtesy of a 34-32 come-from-behind thriller, became the first team from what was formerly known as Division I-AA, to ever beat a ranked I-A team.

And this wasn't just any team they beat, either. No. 5 Michigan is an historic power boasting three Heisman Trophy candidates, national title dreams and playing in front of 109,000-plus fans in its cavernous home stadium.

It is a wonderful story for anyone, even if you are not particularly a sports fan to see such an against all odds (actually no odds, as the spread was supposed to be so great that Las Vegas sports bookies didn't even offer a betting line)outcome, showing what you can accomplish if you believe in yourself and never quit!!

Congratulations to the players and coach of Appalachian State, as the game will be talked about for along time to come, and they will always have their memories of this monumental victory!!


Upset
