Instead of treating this game as a regular season opener, the Michigan Wolverines treated their meeting with the Mountaineers of Appalachian State as a pre-season exhibition. WRONG MOVE. They lost, 34-32. Since Boise State’s upset win over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, Michigan should have taken nothing for granted.
But they did, and now they’ve paid the price. My coworker who’s the Big Ohio State Fan will certainly not let me forget it either.
