Michigan Schedules Appalachian State for 2014 Opener
There are times when it’s worth it to scrape the twitter feed for musings on a current event or recent happening. Dis be one o’ dem times. NO SHIZ Michigan just scheduled App State. It’s like a big massive collective voice saying to all the Michigan fans around the world ….. quiet, shhh. … .. shhhh .. .. SSUURRRPRRIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSEE!
Couple questions then. If Michigan is now voluntarily playing the team that humiliated them, is this worthy of a countdown clock somehwhere? Who wants relive what many now know as The Horror?
Nevertheless, yours truly was entertained with some twitter chatter. Take a gander… In my opinion if you’re looking for some rational and reason – the first one is the best response.
@Ryan_Kartje I guess I see y people don’t like the App State scheduling, but I don’t mind it. They’ll be D-1. Itll get buzz. Michigan will win. Not bad.
@Hoke_A_Mania Best Post: “I hope Hoke just calls them Appalachian and refuses to wear whatever hell their color is” #BigM
@Hoke_A_Mania I enjoyed ’07. #ButMyLiverDidnt RT @MGoJen: Even if we win by 50, all we’ll hear about is ’07.
@mgoblog I think we have to seriously consider the possibility David Brandon is an Al Qaeda sleeper agent.
@ESPN_BigTen Love the Appalachian State addition to Michigan’s schedule. Isn’t easy for schools to have a sense of humor. Bravo, Dave Brandon.
@MaizeBlueNation Our souls. RT @PeterCBigelow@freepwolverines Any word on what the contract pays App State for the visit?@varsityblue Hey, if App State is in the Big East or CUSA by 2014, Michigan is getting great value by scheduling them now! Right? No? Ok.
Fun stuff.
ASU gets $850,000 if they are still FCS and $1,000,000 if they are FBS at game time.
Interesting. I wonder what the norm is for a lower-tier FCS school. Anybody know what the range is?
Between 250,000 and 400,000
