More fallout from the Michigan loss

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/09/04/college-football-songbook-you-paid-that-cupcake-to-come-in-and/

Check out this article, with the clever title of "You paid that cupcake to come in and whoop your tail", it is and interesting story of how I-AA teams get paid to (usually) get romped by the big time programs as a way for them to get ready for the real season. Guess this one backfired for the Wolverines, as they will now spend the rest of their season answering questions about that game.
