re: App. St. fans more delusional than ND fans?

I met a guy from App. st at a conference. We both had posters next to each other and it was a couple days after the BCS CG, so naturally the discussion turned to football. He told me that Michigan was supposed to be LSU, that originally they were scheduled to play LSU to open 07 instead of Michigan. I don't know how true that is, but they guy seemed cock sure App would have won, as if LSU dodged a bullet by opening with Virginia Tech instead of App. St. ?!??

When I asked him why App St doesn't go IA, he said its because the school is getting so many applicants now that they are three time (or however many time) 1AA champs and that if they went IA they would lose all that fame. fricking chickens! They're clearly good enough to play in the mid to low echelons of IA football, but they choose not because they like being lower division champs better than being upper division nobodies.
