Tinker Town: "The parity in college football is much greater than it has ever been in college football. On any given Saturday one team can beat the other. Remember Appalachian State shocking 2007 victory over the high and mighty Michigan maize and blue, in the Big house?"

2007: Appalachian State v. Michigan (Drive-Thru)
------------------------------http://www.cbssports.com/
Five years ago, App State changed it all, but what's really new today?

The most amazing thing was Appalachian State did it with 27 players. Twenty-two starters. Five backups. A few more on special teams. But essentially, that's all it took to beat Michigan almost five years ago.
Twenty-seven players.
What, you've forgotten? Big House, big shock, biggest upset ever. Sept. 1, 2007 came and went, depositing a layer of hope and shame and embarrassment and change. The top-heavy college game that grudgingly allows Cinderellas, chewed up and spat out Goliath that day, lovingly embracing the Mountaineers. Read more...http://www.cbssports.

In 2003, the Michigan Wolverines – then BCS National Championship contenders – fell at Autzen Stadium, ending their title dreams. Four years later, the location was different but the script remained the same.
As in Eugene, Michigan was led by a high powered trio on offense with Heisman-contender Mike Hart at the forefront. The Wolverines started the year ranked number five in the country – the same position they held in 2003 – but tumbled from the polls after a shocking loss to Division II foe Appalachian State. Oregon came into the Big House (Michigan’s football stadium) with a solid returning core of players but unsure of how good they really were, but there was no doubt about the talented Ducks after handing the Wolverines a 39-7 dusting – their worst loss since 1968.
Michigan took an early 7-3 lead on their only scoring drive of the day, but the Ducks responded quickly as quarterback Dennis Dixon hooked up with Brian Paysinger for 85 of his 292 yards through the air. Unbeknownst to the crowd in Ann Arbor, Oregon was just getting started.See video and read more...http://dailyemerald.

Getty Images The allure of Alabama isn't just Southern charm. It's that Nick Saban has mastered the art of preparing players for the NFL.
The Alabama Crimson Tide, college football's defending national champion, has become the game's "it" team, an all-powerful and impervious Death Star of a program. Alabama has won two of the last three national titles. Its coach, Nick Saban, won another one while he was at Louisiana State—meaning he has won the title in three of the past seven college seasons he has coached. Read more...http://online.wsj.com/

Video: LSU cancels practice
August, 29, 2012
By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com
LSU cancels practice because of Hurricane Isaac.
Without
electric power the world as we have been living it is empty of the
action we live in with people talking to each other online, and in the
modern media. I felt like I slipped back into another time and place.
underwater, dated and lost in time, struggling to breathe again. Wow
without electric power I felt almost dead. A world where football is not
so important.
Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Why is ther few peopl posting i the SEC? I really do missed the Big 12
people postingthere. A lot more people get involve in the conference
than in the SEC. I am not sure why? Maybe people just o nt like talking
in the SEC blog?
LSU fans are scattered all over or if at home they are out of power. Without LSU fans, this blog is dead.
Breaking News, "LSU cancels practice," Les Miles tells his team, "Why practice, we cant beat Bama."
Why bother play any games if LSU or any teamin the SEC do not get into the title game this year?
