Appalachian State Gets Taste of the Bigtime

After shocking the world against Michigan Saturday it seems that people are really following this plucky underdog story.
Television cameras lined the field, a satellite truck was
parked at one end of the stadium and four sports information employees stood
with phones for players to do interviews after practice.


Oh, and there was only one goalpost. The other was still being fixed
after being torn down by students Saturday and left on the chancellor’s
lawn.

My pick for upset of this coming week is TCU over Texas. I think Texas is ripe for the plucking after nearly blowing it against Arkansas St. If Arkansas St. hit a few fieldgoals and didn't throw a pick in the endzone then there would have been a 2nd Appalachian State level upset. In any case I think TCU might be the kind of team that could shock the world and knock Texas off.
