Thanks to Fox Sports and the Big Ten Network, many were able to watch an edited (read: shortened) replay of the Appalachian State upset over the Michigan Wolverines. Kudos for re-airing that quickly.

Many details stood out watching the replay, notably how horrendously prepared Michigan's entire team was for whatever Appalachian State had game planned. Lloyd was already to blame, but upon another watch it was even worse. Had they never seen a weak side blitz before? It should also be a HUGE concern the Michigan's HUGE offensive line couldn't take of business.

What else was rather notable is that Thom Brennaman was calling the game. You know what game he called last? Here's a reminder. That's two straight colossal upsets.

Ohio State got the unlucky draw.

Can Akron do it?

Again with the Oklahoma vs. Boise St. video

. I am happy that almost everyone forgot about it after the Appalachian St upset. If Akron does beat Ohio St then I will never pick the favorite when Thom Brennaman is announcing.

I think the now exiled replay official Gordon Riese is also behind Michigan's demise as well. He was the head official on the field during the 2003 Michigan at Oregon game (Video cap from ESPN Classic):

And, just to get a dig in with Michigan fans, I capped this too:

Gordon Riese!!! Come on first, the OU/Boise video gets posted and now this! This is a rough thread for an Oklahoma fan.

I had no idea either, until I saw the game replay from '03. Just thought it was ironic, that's all.

It kinda is though, I didn't watch the UM/UO replay yesterday but were there any really questionable calls in it?

One maybe. A non-call that should've been a TD for the Ducks, but there was no replay then. Next play though, TD. Otherwise, a clean game. Michigan got going too late, and like Oklahoma last year, the Wolverines still had an opportunity to win at the end of that game.
