Did Harold West play after the 1st series. Didn't notice Butler at DT either. I noticed Butler at nose tackle later in the first quarter, but he may have been in for only one series.

I just read in the Daily Toreador that the driver sped up through a red light, thru the police motorcade and hit the bus with enough force to knock it into other vehicles. Ugh! A drunk, disgruntled fan at their worst.
Edit: He has been identified and is awaiting bond on his drunk driving charge.

Realized this morning that if we had been successful in our 2 point attempt, we would have won against Tech by the same score basketball beat UT, 53-52. Maybe it is best it didn't happen. I might have started gambling away my life savings using those numbers.

The two point attempt was a good move by Coach Patterson. Whether or not it was his intent, which will never be stated, it placed all the cards on the table. The final score reflected the game, which was important. You also don’t want to embarrass your host if you can avoid it. Appalachian State has never been invited back to Michigan. It was a big win for our program!

Also, look at the write up on the ACUsports site. This is the best most detailed write up I have seen in a long time!

So many accolades to be handed out. Against a B12 team our OL did not give up a sack. Our QB threw for 500+ yds. We had receivers who caught both the easy and hard throws. We had a RB who made the hard runs we haven't seen in years, if ever and other backs who ran hard. On defense we had a new LB who stood up and took charge, a DL that stood tall and a defensive backfield that grew throughout the game. I think our best is yet to come. I'd like to know who the team chose to get game balls or at least recognized for their play. Could have been many. And a big shoutout to Rick Bowie for transforming our offense from last year and KP for some personnel changes and defensive adjustments in the 2nd half.

Rewatched the game. Sadly, we still lost by 1 despite me yelling to the coaches what play Tech was calling next. We had this game in hand in the 2nd half. Can't wait to see the continued growth of this team. Any word on who the injured in the accident were and how they are doing?

I, too, wonder the names of the injured. I hope nothing is very serious and maybe just precaution is being used. I also wonder about our beautiful bus. I hope we can replace it and the alledged drunk driver's insurance will cover things, including any costs for the hospital time. I guess we just have to put up with the derogatory things said on Tech boards, the comments I've read so far seem a bit weak to me. They don't even have a nuclear reactor project at Tech.

My son just sent me a picture of an ACU helmet that was in the storage compartment of the bus. Completely crushed! We are very lucky things weren’t worse.

Prayers for the injured in the wreck. I heard they were all minor thank god. Whether it was the drivers intent is questionable, though would not be at all suprised. Tech Fans have a histroy of violent reactions to football games. As far as the game, the end result was a disapointment but the team looked very good overall, I would put them as the favorite in the UAC this year. ACU actually looked like the better team on the field most of the night. It is a shame they could not have come away with the W. I completely understand WHY they went for 2 in OT, but I was begging them not to as they had all the momentum and I think they had a much better chance to win in the 2nd OT. Never the less, they still looked like the best team in the stadium and just put the rest of the conference on notice! Even though it was a loss, I still want to congratulate you guys for an excellent showing. Our game was brutal, even with our starting QB we would have lost by a lot. I am coming to the conclusion that we are not nearly as good as the pundits said we are...gulp.

As an ACU FB fan who had a family member killed by a drunk driver a decade ago, I'm beyond enraged by what happened postgame to the team.
Yes, thank God the injuries were minor (so far as we know) but what's been revealed in the press is nothing short of attempted murder. Let's not sugar coat it. This jerk was overserved, got behind the wheel, and accelerated past traffic and through the police motorcade to strike the bus. And yet in some places, Tech fans have the audacity to worry about beer sales at future games. Stupid. Selfish.
This guy should be made to suffer for his actions, and it's high time more police departments be equipped to curb both drunken and aggressive driving. I can't go anywhere in the Metroplex without some clown showing off; it's a close call at every intersection, on ramp and off ramp.
In closing, the punk who killed my uncle received a reduced sentence. He and his lawyer fist bumped one another and smirked when the judge made his ruling. Unforgiveable.
