They should play it in Boone. :nod:

I'd love to see lightning strike twice.

It's an opportunity for redemption for UM, nothing more - if they win handily (as they likely will) they will feel like they exorcised us from the fanbase. The huge paycheck will be cheap by comparison.

Twice? Have they played each other before?

The real UM is coming to Boone in 2012. :nod:

You didn't hear? :shock:

I'd tell you the story, but it would be about as annoying as seeing another picture of Wa-Griz. :lol:

It might be the slugfest of the unranked by then, who knows. I'll be there either way. :thumb:

"Appalachian State will receive $800,000 if it is an FCS team. That figure goes up to $1 million if the Mountaineers are members of the FBS."

after reading some commentary, it's actually quite smart of a decision if App is in the process of going FBS. Yeah they may lose by 50, but they'll have money to get them out of the financial hole and publicity for recruiting.

The ASU @ McNeese game previously scheduled for the same date will be moved back a few weeks to the end of September.

Win-win for us. We get a highly-publicized game with Michigan, a lot of money, and we don't have to play in Lake Charles in August.

That is a win-win

Joy, joy...this gave me a chance to go back and tweek the UM homers on Detroit Free Press...

And you're paying again for us to return in 2014. It's fine, we look forward to giving UM the opportunity to salvage a .500 record against an FCS/Div IAA opponent. But I'd think you could have bought a cheaper victory just south of Ann Arbor inToledo....oh wait...nevermind....

Sorry G8. Didn't scroll down before I posted :lol:

I would tend in this direction as the game will most likely get major hype in the media, and UM will be looking for major payback. They would most likely prefer whipping Appalachian to beating The OSU that year, and exorcising that Mountaineer Curse on their backs.

We should have held out for $1.5m, free beer and some coed hotties 'to be named later'

Difference being that I don't bash the FCS...nor claim Michigan over UNI on any board.

I'm an FCS fan first....If UNI were to ever play Michigan I'd go in a UNI shirt....something that most Iowa fans that go to UNI games against other FCS teams can't say.
