By Rights We Should Have To Play There
never heard of it
The University of Michigan football program will open the 2014 season with a match-up against Appalachian State University on Aug. 30 at Michigan Stadium. This will be the second [sic] meeting between the Wolverines and Mountaineers at Michigan Stadium.
Sorry about that error in the second sentence above. Michigan has never played Appalachian State.
If you'll excuse me, I feel like having a seizure.

Hot water already burned baby. Don't need to try again.

I am incapable of finding it myself, but if anyone can locate a .gif of Dustin Hoffman freaking out in Rain Man while screaming the dialogue above and simultaneously hitting himself, greatly appreciated. And, I think, relevant to ALL our interests on this day of days.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:42 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 4:42 PM ^
People are looking at scheduling App State state as a negative when in fact.....um... well I guess there is no positive side to this.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
Who has the face-palm photos?
August 25th, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
Brandon just divided by zero
August 25th, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
By that time App State should be FBS.

Time to get revenge.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
So if they beat us again, it's OK because they'd be FBS?
I absolutely cannot believe this is happening.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
A lot better than FCS...I'd rather get beat by a conference USA team than a school from the SoCon.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Is the Hoke's way of showing us that he "get's it"?
August 25th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
It's Dave Brandon attempting to avenge his boy Lloyd's epic fail.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:17 PM ^
That is how the war in Iraq started...
August 25th, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
Fuck the "no politics" rule, that's hilarious.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
Firing Lloyd because he wasn't supporting Rich enough to Lloyd becoming his "boy".
August 25th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
is that they will not have to face Denard Robinson, as that should be their punishment.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
Is it just me, or does this not reek of a classic Dave Brandon ego-stoking maneuver?
August 25th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
who are we really playing?
August 25th, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
"No, seriously..."
August 25th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
... this is the one that made the most sense?
August 25th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Who else nearly pooped at this headline? Surely not just me.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
Boo Hoo OSU fans are going to make fun of us. Are you guys serious? Not sure why everyone is going crazy.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
Well I totally took the bait on that too. I don't think it's OSU fans everyone is worried about, it's your own fans/former players making fun of you that causes your coaches to get fired.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:39 PM ^
than the way OSU coaches seem to get dismissed. By either A) punching a player in the throat or B) acting like you have no clue what is going on inside the program and then lying about it
August 25th, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
Must have asbestos wear please.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
Great. The run up to that game will be really fun, with the Fuck you Johnny Sears and the Edwards running free and the Crable no playing on an endless loop.
Can anyone devise a rational explanation of how this happened?
August 25th, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
I bet their AD's been calling three times a week since 2007. Brandon finally caved.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
Haha this.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
Now I won't be able to turn on sports radio or ESPN for pretty much all of August 2014. And if by some miracle we should lose, everyone should be fired.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
This makes me feel queasy from three years out!

I don't see why people are so against this. M will (hopefully) be very good with a RS Senior Devin Gardner at QB and will win big. And unlike any of the other 1-AA teams, this game will get HUGE publicity.
Its a win-win for MI. They get to play a bad team, but still get credit and publicity for winning.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:07 PM ^
I'm waiting for your description of how Michigan losing the game is a "win" because that is how the term "win-win" works.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
What are you, new?
August 25th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
No no, I beleive he's... "knew"
August 25th, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
Wasn't there talk that RS Senior Devin Gardner would have to sit the first few games because he played as a true frosh?
August 25th, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
I thought things were looking bad on the prospect of Devin ever being an RS anything.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
...since Michigan last beat App State.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
Wouldn't that be undefined, instead?
August 25th, 2011 at 5:21 PM ^
Thanks Dave Brandon.
I now get to look forward to reliving "The Horror" throughout Summer, 2014 in preparation for this game. My shrink will be naming his next boat Brandon's Choice by the time he's done.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
Someone sick and twisted must have done this. Do we get more money by playing them or something? The money angle is all I can figure.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
-High publicity Home Opener
-Team we should beat
-I was out of the country and missed the first meeting, what happened?
August 25th, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
and we can hand ASU their first loss as a FBS school. :-)
I am just trying to spin this into a positive.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
Not wanting the media to punch me in the nuts for at least month before this game does not make me a pussy, it makes me a rational person.
