Come Let I-AA Show You Why It's Hot! Hot! Hot!

The worst thing about tonight's I-AA championship game - not "mythical," because a playoff holds every team to the same objective standard on the field, and for god's sake, drop the 'Championship Subdivision' prattle - is that, under the circumstances, it can't just be the championship game. Not when those infamous hot! hot! hot! Mountaineers of Appalachian State are there, and certainly not when their opponent happens to come out decked in maize and blue and a certain antiquated helmet design.
Appalachian could win its third straight I-AA title, an unprecedented accomplishment in either "subdivision" - Georgia Southern won four of six in the late eighties, and Jim Tressel's Youngstown State behemoths won four out seven in the early nineties, at one point appearing in four straight title games, but ASU, if it tops Delaware, would be the first school since the division was defined and brackets drawn in 1978 to actually win the playoff three years running. The Mountaineers' record against other I-AA teams on that run, if they complete it, would be 38-3. But to the wider world - and, I'm certain, to the D-Team ESPN2 crew straight out of Offense to Subtlety School, repeatedly - That Team That Beat Michigan That One Time.
