Boy, was I wrong...

If I'd been asked for an FCS upset of an FBS team yesterday, I wouldn't have picked Appy. I would have picked Mr. Popper's favorite team, if only out of decades of frustration at OSU's old policy of never playing in-state schools. I was banking on enough pi$$ed off Penguins playing over their heads enough to take down one of the most arrogant schools in football.

Incidentally, Nicholls also pulled off the FBS upset, though it was only Rice, which hasn't been anything special since their Cotton Bowl fiasco against 'Bama.

One interesting tidbit I'd picked up from the Appy game was that they'd won SIX previous FBS games; they were ALL, however, against woeful Wake Forest. Appy has had a few close calls over the last few years, but this is the first time they'd sealed the deal against a known quantity. Congrats, Mountaineers.

Now, can we have a Mountaineers Bowl featuring Appy vs. West Virginia? That'd be really funny.

Actually Rice is not as bad as you imply. So I give Nicholls State a little more credit for taking down the Owls. And even more impressively, stopping Jarett Dillard from getting into the endzone.
