Yes, that Appalachian State.
LSU will open the 2008 football season at home Aug. 30 against Appalachian State, which shocked Michigan last season.

The game between LSU and Appalachian State will mark the first time that a defending champion from the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) will meet the defending champion from the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in the season-opener the following year.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how the supposedly mighty SEC does business. Thing is, the boys from Boone are still a cupcake. And now they've lost that ace in the hole of being able to sneak up on people. In other words, you'll see this in about seven months:

We award LSU no points for arranging this game, and may God have mercy on their soul.
