From the only in America category:

Ann Arbor, MI: A distraught University of Michigan fan has filed a four million dollar lawsuit against Appalachian State for its victory over the University of Michigan’s football team last Saturday. The suit alleges that Appalachian State was to be a sacrificial lamb and by winning, Appalachian Sate violated an unwritten understanding that Michigan never loses to creampuffs. The suit alleges that Appalachian State knew or should have known that its football team was supposed to lose in an ignoble fashion to the University of Michigan.

Elton Alda is suing for four millions dollars damages, an apology and a forfeit by Appalachian State’s football program alleging that Appalachian State’s victory has caused serious mental anguish, lost sleep, and damaged self esteem and overall dysfunction with daily activities. Alda said, “You just can’t imagine how painful this whole ordeal has been. All the money, time and emotional effort I put into this game only to have a group of nobodies break a traditional BCS understanding to be a sacrificial lamb. All I have been able to do is cry.â€

This has got to be from The Onion or some similar publication.

Of course it is parody. Any reasonable person would instantly see that this is parody. There isn't a lawyer in the US that would file a lawsuit like this for less than 20 million dollars.

I know one that would do it for $19M. Non-refundable and paid in advance.

Oops. Jtstang, please return my $19MM check. And be advised I have put a stop payment on it.

Schools with national championship aspirations can avoid fatal losses like these by not scheduling creampuff teams.
It's a crappy job but someone's gotta do it.
