Yo, the 2007 college football season was the craziest and best season ever no question there were upsets every week, the whole season was compelling from Boise state going undefeated beating Oklahoma, my Louisville cardinals barely missing out on a chance to go to the national championship game. Rutgers best is off a field goal. And the first game Kentucky hurt our best player for the year and we still had an amazing year. Man that season was WILD

I gotta say this is probably the best video chronicling the game I've seen on KZbin, and I've seen a lot. The way you went into such detail to establish the context leading into the game, and then spent an almost equal amount of time detailing the fallout for Michigan and how the loss led to a downward spiral and a carousel of coaches and whatnot - excellent job.

[@jky3889]

“Biggest upset in College Football history” was Centre College vs Harvard in 1921 when Centre won at Harvard Stadium 6-0 in front of a capacity crowd of 43,000. The game is significant because it was the FIRST TIME a team outside the East beat one of the Big Three of Harvard, Princeton and Yale. However, like App St, this was no fluke. The previous season Centre was 8-2, losing at Harvard and at GA Tech, but beat TCU 63-7 in the Fort Worth Classic bowl game, and Centre was undefeated the year before that. In 1921 Centre outscored their opponents 282-6 in the regular season and was un-scored upon in 9 games which included AUB, CLEM, Kentucky, Tulane and AZ (all but AZ were in the Southern Conf). Of note in 1920 Center beat Howard (AL) 120-0 and blanked 7 total opponents that year and held most opponents scoreless over a 6 year period from 1917 to 1922. In 1919 undefeated Centre held 5 teams scoreless and outscored their opponents 485-23 while beating WVA, IND, KY and VA among others.

This date represented the culmination of a 10 day nightmare for me as a sports fan. Besides being a Michigan fan I was also a Baltimore Orioles fan. Ten days before this happened on August 22, 2007 the Orioles began a 9 game losing streak when the Texas Rangers set the modern day record for runs in a game when they stomped the Orioles 30-6. The 9 game losing streak ended on Friday August 31 when they beat the Red Sox in Fenway. The next day September 1 2007 my Wolverines didnt just lay an egg but dropped it and it cracked. I thought to my self.......after a 10 day period like this it can't get any worse........well it did. You see......after the Appalachian State loss later on that same evening the Orioles were playing the Red Sox again after beating them the night before to end their losing streak.......well that night the Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz pitched a no hitter vs the Orioles 10-0........nice way to end a Saturday after your college football team become the victim in the biggest upset in sports history since the US hockey team Miracle on Ice vs the Soviet Union in 1980.

Which is why when one of you fucksticks asks me "are you rooting for ohio state in the bowl game? You should root for fellow big ten schools" my answer is "fuuuuuuuuck no". I'll root for Alabama and Nick Satan before I'll ever root for Ohio State, Michigan State, or Penn State.

[@chadbailey30]

@@slimj091 Yeah. You should. If you're dumb enough to be a Xichigan fan you should never root for the Bucks/Sparty/State. Just like when the B10 was undefeated in bowl games and Xichigan was the one team to Fukk up the streak. Even though it made the B10 look worse, I still enjoyed greatly watch you dumpster fire of a team drag the rest of us down with you. There should be a vote and somehow the B10 should make a special division with MU/Rutgers/Illinois/Maryland/Northwestern/Purdue. Maybe then you could crack 2nd in your division....😁😁😁

[@calvinhilton7069]

you should have gotten the Michigan Radio announcers Pre-game commentary. They were reading the App State program's descriptions for each player. App State did not have any info on their football expirence, just generalized statements on their major and social activities.

[@uddinfa1]

Notre Dame Vs Northern Illinois just became that biggest upset. Notre Dame paid them money to play against them too lol 😂

[@MrMRMONKEY232]

That's how most teams get smaller schools to come play that part isn't unique. Depending k nhiw notre dame does over the next few years will determine its impact. Michigan only recovered from this loss a few years ago

[@uddinfa1]

@@MrMRMONKEY232 yeah Notre Dame isn’t coming close to a championship anytime soon. SEC teams like Georgia, Texas, and Alabama and Big 10 teams like Michigan, OSU, and Penn State are too good. Hey at least you guys had a good run in the 1980’s and you always have Rudy.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

ND lost to Marshall a few years ago, that was bigger than the loss to Northern Illinois.

[@jedikevin20]

now AP state is a top 25 Div 1 FBS team.

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

You wonder if App St still moves up to FBS level if they didn't win this game. I know it took a few years before the jump up, but that win still gets attention today. They won two straight D-1AA titles before the upset, but everyone treated them like a dead skunk on the side of the road compared to Michigan. The win was truly an Earth-shattering moment for both programs.

[@sirisaac6125]

You should do 16 seed UMBC over overall 1 seed Virginia! This was an amazing montage.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

That App State team reminded me a lot of what we did at WVU with Pat White and co. for a couple of years in this same time period. Tons of speed and a spread offense that was tough to stop. They had so much speed and athleticism on both sides of the ball, they would have beaten quite a few FBS/Div-I teams that year. It's always great when Herby is so overconfident on Game Day, winds up having to eat his words quite a few times over the years with his blowout predictions, lol. Great to see him wrong twice in the same video. I see Rich Rod also made it into the end of this...lol.

[@mythicgamer6291]

And THEY DID IT AGAIN

[@bsheaves]

I’m pretty sure Jerry Moore had his team preparing for this game in March. I think he knew his team could have a legitimate chance since they were for sure going to be over looked

[@JesseyStone]

this dude got me hyped up for a game that was played almost 15 years ago LMAO remember seeing this on tv when i was a wee lad, it was such a crazy year for college ball doubt it will ever be replicated

[@blakewaters1995]

16:20 weird how they got down to the 5 and then decided to kick a field goal right away even though they had 30 seconds on the clock still. Obviously it worked out but considering Michigan was able to get into field goal range after...that's some pretty bad coaching

[@conman1495]

Yeah, they could have tried for the TD to make Michigan have to get a TD or at least run the clock all the way down for the attempt. Didn't matter in the end though

[@agoo7581]

It was pretty awful, should have at the very least, run one play, then spike it with one second to go. Moore nearly cost his team the game.

[@cmill7272]

If you try to run the clock down and then spike it. You automatically lose the game if any of your o-line flinch before the snap or an illegal formation because of the 10-second runoff rule. not worth the risk.

[@robertjones444]

They just wanted to play it safe for having no timeouts didn’t want to risk a fumble

[@mastick5106]

Jerry Moore said after the game they did it to guard against a bad snap. If something goes wrong and you have to fall on a fumbled snap, you still have just enough time to get off a second try.

[@raveheart4094]

I’m very late to this video but I didn’t see it referenced in the video but that game was seen on tv by almost no one. App State vs That Team Up North was the first game to air on the big ten network but it wasn’t carried by most of the cable providers and was blacked out in most markets nationwide.

[@greenie43]

Yes I saw that Notre dame vs northern Illinois!! Quite the upset of the season so far!! I would never consider a number 10 team getting beat by a #3 hardly anything close to an upset!! Especially when there is no clear starting QB on said #10 team!!! You can only ask your defense to do so much!! Now you put JJ McCarthy back at QB and Michigan is now #3 and Texas wouldn't of walked out with a win!!!!

[@danshobbies13]

Jim is in the hot seat now

[@mr.johnson6897]

This might seem random but Jesus loves you and times aren’t good and we need to rely on Jesus to guide us because we see corruption everywhere and so much sin and corruption everywhere. Relationship over religion. Jesus is a prayer away and just because you haven’t had an experience with Him doesn’t mean He’s not real

[@MaddenTycoon]

This is the first game that really got me hooked on FCS football. Realized that EWU played these guys pretty close in the playoffs that year and thought, why does no one ever talk about this little school down the road? So much fun to study these little schools and see the look on people's faces when they realize how damn good some of the top tier FCS teams really are.

[@Jackhintze06]

And Michigan was never the same

[@wjatube]

I was in Paris, France when this happened. Yes, news went around the world. The funny-thing, I was not the only one in the hotel lobby yelling, "O-H!"

[@ryansmith6786]

This is why college football is the greatest sport in the world.

[@davidlang4546]

[@claytonbrannon5282]

You could do the Navy winning streak against Army and the game Army stopped the streak in 2016.

[@charpsteve36]

Nope nope nope, we don't talk about that game.

[@nickduncan8376]

Big C that’s not even a big upset. Army and navy are both pretty much irrelevant in college football, aside from that rivalry game. They both suck, while here, you have (at the time) one of the best teams in the country loosing against a pretty horrible, unheard of, and not a big division 1 school. This game is leagues better than any puny army navy game.

[@domwiggins9481]

Canned Bread army is pretty good

[@MrKingpin1205]

@@nickduncan8376 Pretty horrible? App State was in the middle of a 3-peat as FCS champions when they beat Michigan. It wasn't like Michigan was playing a bad FCS team. App State would've taken down a lot of FBS teams that year. That was how good they were.

[@michaelzoran]

Michigan vs Ohio State is no longer a "rivalry." It is absolute dominance by Ohio State. It has been for about two decades. What is even worse is the way University of Michigan Football games DO NOT "sell out," and yet the sports announcers claim "The Big House has sold out." Even the Wall Street Journal pointed out there were games in 2017 where only 80,000 tickets were scanned, yet the announcers on TV falsely "claimed" the game sold over 100,000 tickets. You could VISIBLY see HUGE sections of empty sections in the stadium. It even was like that against Rutgers in 2019 after Michigan was blown out by Wisconsin.

Kirk herbstreet, forever calling bad calls

[@mapleboy0001]

7:12 that was a bold move, calling touchdown when he was still at the 30 yard line

[@zazuch]

When the nearest person is 10 yards away and the RB is pulling away from them only way it wouldn’t be is if the got people penalty. So not that bold haha.

[@spinblackcircles]

He coulda fell down!

[@ExhaustedElox]

I don't care how good I think my team is. If I'm in Div 1, I'm not putting the 2-time defending Div 1-AA champs on my schedule. That tells me that the program is good enough to play on our level. It's a trap game if I ever saw one.

[@candybanks8717]

Thanks for giving Lloyd Carr his props. Not a Michigan fan but Mr Carr was classy and HIGHLY successful. A great coach. College football is massively competitive with loads of unrealistic expectations and coach Lloyd knew that. Finally we can look at him objectively. Wouldn't complain about their team, in Annarbor, having a position and status, like they did then, now would they?

[@wjatube]

Carr was a great guy but Michigan messed up by rushing their intentions of hiring Les Miles. His wife already picked out a house in Ann Arbor. They should've waited until after LSU's title game. Everything went public and Les had to back-out. If not, he certainly would've done a better job than RR and Hoke.

[@ShinobiHOG]

This was my first football Saturday after I moved to Ann Arbor. It was brutal......

[@mynamelildarryl71]

Funny how Herbstreit was nowhere to be found with a reaction that day after talking all that shit about them and FCS as a whole before the game. I hope someone sent him some App State gear!

You did a great job putting this together!!!! Thank you!!!

[@johndor7890]

I was at this game and sat in the Michigan section and was passing tremendous gas due to an intestinal problem. The people around me were pissed and I told them I could not control the gas and I knew it was very powerful but they finally left but I did not care and don’t feel bad about it to be honest.
