Yup. I agree.
I'm still waiting for the UNT Eagles to upset one of the BIG-12 teams. They keep playing them every year and get pounded every year. This year Sooner killed them 79 - 10. It was so bad that Stoops ask the refs to run out the clock in the fourth quarter. The refs refused.

Oh well, maybe next year.


>You are correct. It was an upset, sure, to beat a school that is so much bigger and has so many more scholarship players. But it's pretty disrespectful of Appalachian State to call it the biggest upset over. Just the typical overrating of the major conferences, especially the Big 10. Not to mention the ultimate overrated team, Notre Dame.
