It's football season! I figured we should have a thread to talk about college games.

I'm watching the Tech game (well, it is halftime now) and am just overwhelmed by the sea of orange and maroon. It's an emotional game for Hokie fans.

I'm amazed that Appalachian State is beating Michigan! That can't last, can it?

It is driving me crazy that the ESPN guys are announcing Applachian wrong! It is pronounced Appa-latch-un. It is an absolutely gorgeous campus nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains.

Huh. I didn't know that either. Whoa. Reminds me of how I used to pronounce Yosemite. Yoze-mite.

The Blue Ridge mountains are lovely in both Virginia and NC.

Herm, I think it is a local thing to pronounce it that way, but it has always been called that in the Carolinas. Now that I think of it, it is weird that it is prounounced differently from the Applachian mountain chain. Oh well, go Apps!

Ah, thanks, BC.

Tech is not playing too well. They do not look like a team that should even be in the Top 25. I hope they get it together. Let's go, Hokies!

Whew, I am exhausted after watching that! It is the first time a IAA school has beaten a ranked IA school. Party time for the Mountaineers tonight!

I just saw this from a Yahoo article about the Michigan/Appalachian game--

The game was expected to be such a mismatch Las Vegas sports books refused to offer a betting line.

Wow!

Whole article can be found *HERE*. It's a nice read. :-)

I used to pronounce it Yoze-mite, too. DH asked me, haven't you heard of the Looney Toons guy? Well, ya, but I thought his name was "Sammity Sam", not Yosemite Sam, lol.

I was watching football, KL! Sorry, I didn't see your post.

Karen! You are the only other person I know who used to say "Yoze-mite." Thank you! I don't feel quite so alone!

My Buckeyes are off to a good start...they looked a little shaky but seemed to find their groove after halftime of week #3.
I have to say, the Michigan loss to Appalachian State gave me the best laugh I've had in a LONG time!!! Too bad Notre Dame is having a sucky year, I'd have loved for Michigan to go 0-3 to kick off this year, hahaha.
Living down here in the middle of SEC country, I don't get to see too many Big 10 games, so I'll be spending a lot of Saturdays in sports bars trying to get any TV time I can w/my Bucks!
