Politicians are having too much fun with Appalachian State University's win over then-No. 5-ranked Michigan on Sept. 1. Monday night the state Senate approved a joint resolution "expressing sorrow to the Governor of Michigan and the members of the Michigan legislature for the victory of Appalachian State University over the University of Michigan."
The resolution originally included the wording "upset victory" over Michigan but Sen. Dan Clodfelter, D-Mecklenburg, offered an amendment striking the words "upset." It was no fluke victory, he explained; "It was fully expected."
The resolution directs the N.C. Secretary of State to transmit a copy of the resolution of condolence to the Michigan authorities as well as to ASU Coach Jerry Moore and the ASU athletic director.
Usually legislators don't consider other bills during a special session or reconvened session of the legislature called for the sole purpose of considering such things as a veto, but in this case Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, said the Senate was only considering this one bill because of such special circumstances as Appalachian's landmark win.
When Sen. Jean Preston, R-Carteret, asked if the Senate would also consider a resolution commmemorating the victory of the East Carolina University Pirates over the UNC Chapel Hill Tar Heels Saturday night in Greenville, Sen. Rand, a die-hard Tar Heels fan, explained good-naturedly it was simply not possible. The Senate, he said with a smile, was considering "just this one."

Lighten up. Just because ASU and ECU are the only teams in NC to beat 1-A teams this year is no reason to be such a sour puss.
