Whats worse losing to App St. on a flukish type of a day, or calling them for coaching guidance?

Seems not everyone is so sure Michigan is going to roll over for them this year...

Bim, what's wrong with asking Appy State coaches for advice? Look at their record.

2 words go bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

celticsfan69 | 05/12/08, 08:37 AM

Nothing, actually. But be honest, if you saw someone rip on UM for losing to App State would you turn around and say whats wrong with that, look at their record?

Please football gods, let them beat LSU.

biminator | 05/12/08, 08:45 AM

Kind of pointless now isn't it? Given how Michigan is changing its system?

THE TRUTH | 05/12/08, 09:03 AM

Bim, in past threads I have defended Michigans loss to Appy State. They might be D2 but they're good. Can't argue with it.

Truth - not pointless. They have a formula that works and it involves knowledge learned from RR himself per the last sentence of the paragraph.

Let App beat up on Oh State.......this year. Please Santa.

App State is an excellent disciplined team. Sure, UM haters like to forget that App St has done something on other DIV 1 team has ever done and won 3 straight NC in their lower Div. And other big 10 coaches calling the Coach of that team is evidence that other coaches understand that to and don't see App St's win some fluke. You aren't gong to see SEC teams calling Louisiana Monroe to find out how to beat Alabama. But let these other big 10 teams call because this UM team isn't your the UM that your good ol' dad knows and loves. This new UM is going to shake the big 10 with a playing style that is going to make coaches RIP OUT THEIR HAIR in frustration and make some teams wish that Carr never retired.

THE TRUTH |

Knowing how it runs is also knowing how to defense it better.

Like biminator said it was a freakish day; that is why yuo don't see PAC 10 schools calling Harbaugh at Stanford on how to beat USC. These thing happen, don;t change your coaching style and hope for the same results. Unless your coaching style sucks

Jabril1217 | 05/12/08, 10:13 AM

Funny.

J. HOVA: ES MUY BIEN | 05/12/08, 11:16 AM

Why are teams still calling App State on how to beat Michigan? They have a new coach and are entering into a new era!

DMitch | 05/12/08, 11:20 AM

George:

I'm talking more about the defensive side. Michigan's archaic slow defensive scheme under Coach Carr is what got them beat by App. St. That is changing along with the spread offense.

THE TRUTH | 05/12/08, 11:30 AM

When I read the headline, I thought they were trying to schedule some home-in-home series with App. St. None of them are interested in playing them? I wonder why?

The App State coaches would probably be able to offer better advice on how to defend the spread option than on how to beat Michigan. Rodriguez has implemented his spread option offense at Michigan, an offense similar to App State.

jdawg90 | 05/12/08, 12:27 PM

Arejaydub,

I don't think you will see ANY other Big 10 school putting App St on their schedule. UM was foolish to do so and we saw why. The funny thing is that, from what I have heard, UM was looking at playing Hawaii but didn't cuz it would have meant them flying out to HI and that was a trip they didn't want to take so they opted for ASU.

arejaydub | 05/12/08, 11:55 AM

Same reason teams bailed on Hawaii last year. On the other hand, I'm not sure App St would catch a big school like Michigan by suprise again.

Field Marshall Sunny Day | 05/12/08, 02:10 PM

Biggest upset in college football history. All the UM lovers can downplay it all they want. It will never go away.

Hawaii, and they didn't go? That's a wonderful trip the kids would've loved to take. The could've toured the island, Pearl Harbor, etc...Better that than to get your arse handed to you in front of the home crowd of 100K+ rabid fans.
