"Appalachian State apparel is suddenly the fashion rage - in Columbus, Ohio. Seems Buckeyes fans are clamoring for a lasting reminder of rival Michigan's inexplicable 34-32 football loss to the Boone, N.C., school. As Greg Pierson, manager at the Sports Fan Attic store, told the Columbus Dispatch: "If I had a dollar for every time someone's asked, I could retire. I'm still getting it." An impromptu street vendor reported brisk sales, and the university book store's fax machine has produced a healthy stack of orders. "It's a wonderful type of busy," said Lorraine Childers, book store assistant director. "It's certainly a labor of love." ... Appalachian State is home Saturday to Division II Lenoir-Rhyne (0-1). "

^Expect App. State to get a nice little gift from TOSU after last week.

9/6/2007 9:54:15 AM

heh

9/6/2007 9:56:15 AM

C'mon... it's Michigan

Remember how much fun State fans had with UNC losing to Santa Clara a few years back in basketball?

9/6/2007 10:06:26 AM

Yet another example of Ohioans trying to taint up anything good from NC. I can't stand Ohio.


Tight borders people. Tight borders.

9/6/2007 10:06:38 AM

hey if a UNC loss made our conference look bad I'd still talk shit cause it was Carolina

but I also hate the Big Ten so I enjoy any chance to bash them...although I don't particularly like App either

Yeah, that was fun. Then, UNC won it all that year.

9/6/2007 10:07:53 AM

similarly, if UNC never won another game in any sport ever again, the joy I'd feel would trump any care about negative reflections on the ACC.

9/6/2007 10:11:23 AM

Weber State

9/6/2007 10:22:57 AM

Thats the great thing about upsets.

I can wear a Weber State shirt now to a UNC buddies house and instantly he's like "Fuck you, dude."

Similarly, 10 years from now Buckeye fans can wear their App gear and Michigan people will still feel sick about it.

9/6/2007 7:08:15 PM

So what's the O/U on the number of App state jerseys in the Big House on Nov. 17?

9/6/2007 7:14:07 PM

my aunt lives in columbus but hates tOSU...she sends her kids to school michigan gear all the time

9/6/2007 7:18:37 PM

I do hope OSU realizes what it says about them when Michigan throttles them at the end of the season.

9/6/2007 8:30:06 PM

if "a" beats "b" and "b" beats "c", that doesn't mean "a" is better than "c"

please understand sports

9/6/2007 8:43:42 PM

haha, she also has flags from all the big 10 schools...she puts out the flag of the team tosu playing that week

9/6/2007 9:11:47 PM

^^^ Team A says team B sucks because of, well, any reason. In this case, because of a team C.

Then team B beats team A.

What is team A to do but eat the words it's been hashing out?

9/7/2007 8:14:38 AM

none of this A, B, C shit you are babbling about changes the fact that A DIVISION I-AA TEAM BEAT MICHIGAN IN THE BIG HOUSE


AHHHHH HAHAHAHA, I love it

I'm debating on if I should order an App. St. t-shirt

9/7/2007 8:29:34 AM

Things like this make me wish UNC would start scheduling High School teams.

9/7/2007 9:29:00 AM

i lived about 10 years up in Columbus (middle school and high school) before eventually moving back to NC.

the OSU/Mich rivalry is fierce... way more than UNC/NCSU.

9/7/2007 9:21:20 PM

Really?

Because I thought our rivalry was the fiercest in the country for sure

9/7/2007 9:27:51 PM

oh snap hahahhhahahahhaah this will be AWESOMe

9/7/2007 9:33:00 PM

drod why you so scared about the michigan game this year???

pussy... stand up for your team, i doubt tressel is as scared as you, i doubt tressel tells his players... hey michigan lost to app at home, this will be cake

you can ride the app state loss in our face all day/all lifetime, but if someone brings up MICHIGAN VS OHIO STATE you don't ignore it like a pussy and just comeback with "oh but wait remember app state"

/his faggot ass

9/7/2007 10:30:28 PM

it'll be funny when michigan beats ohio state and then it'll be HAHA YOUR TEAM LOST TO A TEAM THAT LOST TO A I-AA TEAM LOLOLOLOL

9/7/2007 10:35:52 PM

^^ Easy there Dave. They're quaking in their boots, whether they know it or not.

The App State loss has created the hungriest team in the nation, rest assured.

except for the part about GMU being Division I

9/8/2007 1:11:49 AM

Yeah but that was basically the same thing...he has a point.

ASU is D-1 in basketball. George Mason and ASU are about on the same level athletically.

9/8/2007 1:21:21 AM

isnt GMU Div IA football? and their basketball program is stronger than football, right? Im prolly showing my ignorance here, but it seems like GMU has a more credible athletic program.

9/8/2007 2:17:24 AM

No George Mason is not 1-A in football. Only 119 teams are.

In fact they don't even have football.

9/8/2007 12:58:29 PM

Maybe instead of buying up App State jerseys they could concentrate on beating Akron.

Nice Picasso they're painting today. 3-2 in the bottom of the 5th (halftime)

9/8/2007 1:58:18 PM

yea i took akron +28

9/8/2007 1:59:02 PM

basketball is entirely different as far as upsets. This would be like barton beating unc in basketball

9/8/2007 2:00:57 PM

but nobody knows how good michigan is this year...you dont know if its like barton beating UNC during their 8 win season, or one of their great seasons

whoa whoa whoa, I was giving your OVERRATED team some respect since you have so many returning star players. Since OSU lost so many starters I was worried about the big game this year.

when did I ONCE not stand up for my team or say that I was scared? I think its pretty natural for a fan to be worried about their team when they have a new starting QB, RB and WR corps going against a rival with a returning stating QB, RB and WR corps. I was showing some respect for a seemingly better team (on paper), not being a scared pussy. Might want to re-check your facts there, bud.

with that said, I think that the Buckeyes will mop the fucking floor with the Wolverines this year, IN THE BIG HOUSE. The only thing that sucks is that the game wont mean shit this year since UM will have 3 or 4 loses by that point.

Too bad Michigan was supposed to be the best team in the Big Ten this year, they sure are making our conference look like shit. Dont take the anger you have pent up inside because of how overrated your team is this year and direct it towards me.

/your faggot ass team's season

9/8/2007 5:23:44 PM

^^ Go easy. He was at ground zero when App State happened, and will likely take months to recover from it.

9/8/2007 11:31:57 PM

Here is what I would pay a lot of money for....

A picture of a sad-faced OSU fan wearing an APP State shirt with the "Priceless" header
Ticket to the OSU vs. Michigan game as a student: $0
App t-shirt to rub D2 loss in Big Blue's face: $22
Look on your face after you lose to a team who lost to a D2 team....MF Priceless.


LET THE RECORDS SHOW
I HATE OHIO STATE

9/9/2007 1:59:58 AM

Well there is so much wrong and ignorant with that post, its hard to decide where to start.

First, if you were an OSU or even Michigan fan, you would pay a great deal of money for a ticket most likely to the OSU vs Michigan game considering it is the biggest college football rivalry. And next, App State isn't fucking Division 2. So please, the next time you wanna come on here and try and pretend to be clever, atleast know what the fuck you are talking about.

Just another reason why bitches should be banned from sports talk.

9/9/2007 2:38:28 AM

Michigan sucking so bad this year just might be OSUs key to returning to the NC.

thats all fine and well, but he didnt need to call me out on shit thats not true. And even though I hate the Wolverines, I still respect the program and the team and have shown that numerous times on this board.

sure I might take some jabs at UM for losing to App State, if the tables were turned and OSU was on the losing end I would expect to take some lumps from this website.
