The Gods Have Spoken!

The thing I enjoyed most about this Labor Day weekend is be start of the college football season. And what a way to start, with blowouts, nail-biters, and even the ever popular upset. Now, as a football fan, there is one principle that I believe in very deeply, and that is the presence of the all powerful, Football Gods!!! That's right, there are Football Gods, and they know everything and punish anyone who does not honor their existence. If you don't believe me, just ask the Michigan Wolverines!

See, the Wolverines kicked off their run at the National Title in style, by losing to D1-AA Appalachian State. This is the first time that a D1-AA school has beaten a ranked D1-A opponent. Of course, I am a firm believer that this embarrassing loss if they wouldn't have upset the Football Gods. How did they do this you might add. Well, last year when they were not chosen to play in the national title game, they moaned, whined, complained that they should be there over Florida because their only loss was to Ohio State, and that they were being punished for not playing. Nevermind the fact that they didn't play any other major opponents, lost to OSU already, and didn't even play in a conference championship game. Well, when teams moan, whine, and complain, then the Football Gods get angry and will get their revenge. So, after Michigan lost their bowl game last year, another reason why they didn't belong in a title hunt, and talked this year about how they would win it all, the Gods showed them that they can't take anything for granted. I say good for them and good for Appalachian State, I can't think of a better way to start off the college season!
