UPDATE - A UNC fan blog picks up on this post and responds, giving three good reasons Carolina shouldn’t play App State. They all boil down to - “App State might win.” And you call yourself a BCS program.
Now ain’t this cute. Suddenly everybody is high on UNC football.

Is UNC Running Scared From App State?
Tar Heel Fan —
That seems to be what App State fans think following the revelation from Moutaineer coach Jerry Moore that an attempt has been made to schedule a ASU-UNC game and so far the Heels have not been interested.
I tend to look at it as showing proper respect but there are two good reasons and one random one I think of for this decision:
1. UNC has nothing to gain and everything to lose by playing ASU. Beating Michigan basically turned ASU into a radioactive isotope that not many folks on the I-A level are willing to touch. That is because ASU ...
Like We Don't Get This Enough From East Carolina
Carolina March —
... aim a little higher.
In the meantime, "UNC avoids scheduling any real in-state competition?" Are you going to take that, Duke, East Carolina, North Carolina State and Wake Forest? (OK Duke, you may actually have to take that.) If ASU wants to play UNC, they can take the same route East Carolina did. Beat N.C. State a couple of times, then appeal to your alumni in the state legislature. In the meantime, we're trying to build a football team over here.

unc5corners.blogspot.com 7/24/2008 — I guess as the season comes closer and closer it is now time to begin talking about the opponents of the Tar Heels. I am going to respectfully skip McNeese State, as it is a Division IAA, err, a Football Championship Subdivision, team and I am not going to find much about them, and I know even less of that team. So I will begin with the second game of the season against Rutgers.

zombienationpsu.com 7/24/2008 — Sean Jackson, a CFN blogger, had a coherent (that was about it) write up on how the Big Ten can be better in 2008 . Now, I won’t get into the fact that he’s just one of the many talking about the Big Ten as if it’s the MAC or even the Big East circa 2004. Jackson just made some fundamental mistakes in his assessment of the conference going into 2008, mistakes which should have been, at the
