Historic Start for The Big Ten Network

Doh! That is the sound heard from the people running the Big Ten Network today. It looked like a good idea on paper, let your preseason top 5 team start the season out on your network to showcase the true powerhouse capability of the Big Ten as Michigan pounds away on poor 1-AA Appalachian State. Except you know Michigan gets beat... at home... by the 2-time defending 1-AA National Champion Mountaineers of App. State. Did I mention that Michigan had a chance to put the game away twice in the last 3 minutes, but both field goal attempts were BLOCKED. Missed I could understand, but how do you give up two blocks in less than 5 minutes. That was terrible, and oh by the way this was the first time a team from the division formally known as 1-AA (it is the Bowl Sub Division now) has ever beaten a team in the AP top 5. Congratulations Big Ten Network on making history, I can't wait to sign up and watch the highly competitive Big Ten lose to non-conference foes. 'Next week on the Big Ten Network Wisconsin takes on a Pee-wee football team from Eastern Wisconsin.' I'll have to record that, I don't want to miss history again.
