Non-conference football schedules
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the 2014 Ohio State nonconference schedule "includes the following games: Aug.30 vs. Navy in Baltimore, at home against Cincinnati on Sept.6, at home against Kent State on Sept.13 and at home against Virginia Tech on Sept.20."
I know there are a couple of open games on Michigan's schedule, but I hope the Alabama neutral-site game in 2012 sets the trend for '13 and '14.
Ohio State's group of Navy at neutral site (in Baltimore, closer to Navy's home in Annapolis), Cincinnati, Kent State and Virginia Tech is a decent group.
In 2013 I'd like to see (in addition to Notre Dame and at UConn), one MAC team or similar and one more decent team (a middle- or low-end bowl team, preferably), both at home.
In 2014 Michigan still has three open games along with an away game at ND. Let's hope we play at least one more strong team (at home, as most of the good games are on the road) and a medium-strength team along with the MAC patsy, also at home, of course.
What a game tonight!! At the edge of my seat the entire thing. National Championship on Saturday, Cant wait!!
HUNWICK!
Haha I love how the excitement is overflowing into everything else. As how it should be. Saturday these boards will be buzzing with Michigan celebration!
Can Hunwick play safety? His only drawback would be too much grit.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE, his pad level.
Honestly I hope we go after the best in each spot. It may not play to the BCS, but i think it will make us the best team and we can set yet another trend. I'll take a season of true excitement over a BCS-catered schedule anyday. If they're short of the NC, the bowl doesnt really matter anyways. Big Ten shares the revenue.
Go Blue! Only hockey talk tonight!
My uncle (UCLA grad; season ticket holder) told me that Michigan and UCLA are scheduled to play in the future. He couldn't didn't know the specific year, but said that Michigan is on their future schedule. Can anyone confirm this?
like... really?
If there was any team I would like to the Michigann play it would be Cal, UCLA, or Florida State. Although a tough preseason schedule would make me scared for my life.
i'm freaking out about the hockey team. so sweet to see those sioux fans hanging their heads. this high of excitement is going to carry straight through to saturday for me.
I never got this. If you beat a MAC-level team, you get... what? A game that you were supposed to win? And if you lose, you get Toledo or App State or whatever. How is that a good deal at all?
Bring on Texas and Auburn and Oregon and Alabama.
Home games = income.
It's about time we beat North Dakota!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!
I would love to see Michigan v. Louisville in the near future. Louisville is on the up with Strong's recruiting. Michigan would only offer a home date but when M is back to being M I can't see Louisville not wanting to grade themselves amoung the elite.
Louisvile would be a nice schedule addition. AQ conference, improving program after a couple of down years. Good call.
