Live from Carter-Finley
... where DeMario Pressley, who still isn't even listed on the depth chart, is briskly running through drills with the other Wolfpack defensive linemen. Go figure.
I have a feeling sifting through the injury situation at State is going to be a bit ,.. um, difficult under Tom O'Brien. On Monday, he listed Pressley as questionable, but didn't put him the depth chart. O'Brien said he did this because he didn't think Pressley could play, but Pressley still did. By Friday, Pressley was suddenly listed as probabe. Now he's on the field going through warmups. Either that's one heck of a training staff the Wolfies have, or TOB is being a bit vague with his injury updates. Actually, it's probably both.
The press box here is abuzz over three scores right now. App State's stunning win at Michigan, Duke's fold-up job against UConn (34-0 in the second half) and Wyoming's thrashing of Virginia (way to get the boys to show up, Al).
Michigan's loss presents me with an interesting situation as a voter. I'm seriously considering dropping them out of the poll alltogether. Seriously, what have they done this season to deserve a ranking? I love App, and I'm thrilled for them, but if you're Big Blue, you just can't lose at hom to a I-AA err, FCS team. You just can't.
Ken Tysiac of the Charlotte Observer and I are already speculating on who the next Michigan coach will be.
