Michigan to Face Appalachian State in 2014 Opener

 

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- 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 meeting between the Wolverines and Mountaineers at Michigan Stadium.

 

"We look forward to facing Appalachian State again," said U-M Athletic Director Dave Brandon.

 

The only previous game in the series between Michigan and Appalachian State came in the 2007 season opener. The defending FCS champion Mountaineers stunned the Wolverines, 34-32, as ASU blocked a field goal attempt that could have won the game for Michigan at the end of regulation. It was the first-ever game broadcast by the Big Ten Network.

Ap State is talking about applying to move up to the FBS. People like to talk about how tough it is to get to Blacksburg (Virginia Tech), but that's right off the interstate and maybe 25 miles or so from the Roanoke airport, which isn't all that small but is more than a commuter airport. Go look on a map at where Boone is, and know that those are mountain roads.

Dear God I hope they win that game. Their reputation can't take another loss of that magnitude.

Beware Brady Hoke. This mountaineer guy did away with Lloyd Carr.

I'd think they'd want to try to make people forget that ever happened
