Michigan and Syracuse on the schedule?

[Bubba1957]

Speaking of the schedule, UMess has only one P5 opponent (Auburn) next year. We have 5 without much time to work it. Nice work DB. It also highlights what many of us have said before, UConn is a National brand and an attractive addition to most schedules. UMess is not close to the same. Just need to prove it on the field every year.

Nice! Much more interesting than playing East Carolina.

Meat on the bone that Warde threw...

love to see it - one of my greatest college memories was road-tripping with the boys to the Big House for the last time we played there - from 3am wrestling in the Denny's parking lot for the middle seat to tailgating with UM diehards on a golf course - looking forward to going back!

Again, Warde has a zillion choices - he didn’t have to give us a game (he’s only got three OOC to play with), but he did. There isn’t a G5 that would have passed on this opportunity.

$1.8 mill. Nice piece of change.

AD is rocking it right now. This gets me so much more excited then Tulane and East Carolina year after year. I went to the last Michigan game in Ann Arbor and win or lose it's a blast. Independence is looking like a better and better move by the day.

Michigan and the Big Ten owe their development to New England schools. Can't be humble and do a home-and-home series?

 

[gampelcrazies]

Only thing that concerns me is the TV. I would have to think it gets announced within the next month or so.

Hopefully it's ESPN and SNY like I heard months ago.

I am a kind-of Michigan fan because they had the decency to play us in a home and home.

I like them because Ohio State is the devil. Plus cool uniforms and an awesome fight song.

Not from them or Ohio State. Probably not Penn state or Nebraska or Wisconsin. We can try with IU, Purdue, Minnesota....Maryland and yes, Rutgers I suppose. Northwestern would be interesting. Would like to pair those with hoops games.

If only Shoemate hadn't fumbled.....................................could have won that game, right?
But it was dreadful watching our guys come out looking like they were holding each other up from stage fright rather than bursting out on to the field and leaping around. Maybe it meant nothing but it sure didn't feel like we were going to be aggressive.

Not everyone's a fan. However, in the comments the UM fanbase is all for the game. They'd rather have more home dates than hit the road for UCLA. That said, pretty weird that they dumped a UCLA road game for little old us.

 

[hardcorehusky]

That Michigan trip was one of the best road trips I ever had. Got a tour of Michigan stadium by the athletic director in charge of facilities and walked through the tunnel onto the field 4 hours before game time. Became a Michigan fan then and there and especially against Ohio State!!

Kinda of funny....you have to admit. And our trophy rep really is a national thing.

2 for 1? 2025 first game maybe?

 

[Exit 4]

Darn, I thought we might manage to fill Syracuse's open date in 2022.

Kind of interesting bowl news....BYU and Army to alternate as a tie in to the Independence bowl.

So H&H with UNC, BC, MD, etc. But 2 for 1 with Cuse? Wut!

 

[Austin316]

Schedules are looking gooooood

 

[Dooooooomed]

2 for 1 with the oranges is dumb. Bad move by AD Dave if true.

 

[Big East Fa]

Why ESPN? That would almost mean espn3 or espn+. Maybe FS2.

A 2 for 1 with 'cuse is the first downer I've seen on the scheduling front.

That would blow. If we are doing 2-1 get someone better than Syracuse.
