Which home game are you looking forward to most?
9/8 Western Michigan
9/15 Southern Meth (CJK5H...A)
9/22 Nebraska
10/6 Maryland (Homecoming)
10/13 Wisconsin
11/3 Penn State
11/17 Indiana
--------
Could be for a variety of reasons: the opponent, hanging out with friends, can only make it back for one game, etc. Big hitters are Nebraska (they'll out-hit everyone even if they lose by 40), Wisconsin, and Penn State.
Here's my order:
PSU
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Western Michigan
Maryland
Indiana
SMU
What sayeth the board?
Haha, yeah you're right. Sarcasm is king online tho, no? In all honesty, Nebraska, Wisconsin AND PSU all at home in one year ain't a bad home schedule at all.
Only 100K and change to go, kinda like my retirement savings.
Those commercials didn't pay much, huh?
I want to shut up that AD from Nebraska but psu is the big one. They are in our division and they embarassed us last year. The rest of the games are eh.
They have put together two successful seasons in a row, winning the Big Ten two seasons ago and last year they went 11-2 and won a major bowl game.
they lost 2 DTs, 2 LBs, and their entire secondary, possibly the best RB in school history, leading wr in school history, TE freak, and their OC.
It'll be like the game against us in 2016 for the whole season.
Got to admit, Franco Harris and Lydell Mitchell - now that is a backfield.
Moorhead is by far the biggest loss. IMO, he is the reason for the vast improvement in PSUs offense in general and Oline specifically. Time will tell.
see no evidence or reason to believe that PSU is some kind of fluke.
I've heard that kind of rosy scenario around here before.
"Michigan will reassert its dominance over MSU. Dantonio is overrated."
"Urban Meyer will have another "health issue" when Harbaugh gets here. He can't take the pressure."
I think PSU takes a step backward this year and it is unrelated to how Michigan's season unfolds. They are without the 2 chess pieces that allowed them to become a very good team-- Barkley and Moorhead. We'll see.
after the beating they gave us last year, I would really like to pay them back with a serious beat down this year.
Whichever game is at night...so I can sell it.
No doubt......the "down in front" crew.
I would reaaalllllly like to get back to destroying Penn State again.
... At this moment, ALL OF THEM. I just miss football, and I'm hopeful (perhaps foolishly) that the boys will bounce back this year. Almost more than anything, I'm praying that it is a lot less negative in the crowd this year. I know, that starts on the field.
GO BLUE!
Always the next one
(I feel your post, man)
Should be a stiff test, and it is now time to shift the pendulum back towards a beatdown in our favor. McSorley is an interesting player. He is very effective, but I still do not know howe manages to complete so many Moon balls. We will see what he is made of without the luxury of having Barkley and Gesicki making him look like an All-American.
Wisconsin and PSU for revenge (I'd love for another 49-10 pasting of Franklin) and Nebraska to shut up Scotty boy and his mom.
Whatever game(s) my friends and I decide to make it back for so we can shoot the shit and get hammered like old times at Dominick's before walking (read stumbling) into the game
I want to beat them back to the stone age to show this team is for real.
Penn State - I want their jerseys to be red when they leave that night. Also guessing that this one ends up at night. Pretty good chance they come into that game 7-1 and you all know I think we will be 8-0. It's also after our bye, so everyone will be chomping at the bit to get back on the field/into the stadium.
My ranking:
PSU
Wisconsin
Nebraska
Maryland
Indiana
Western Michigan
SMU
Penn fucking State. Payback is gonna be a bitch.
EDIT: We're now at 117 days until kickoff.
Penn State. Only Penn State. I will readily admit Michigan got outclassed by PSU this season, and they were out for blood after two straight seasons of ass kickings. But it should be a great matchup this season, and I'm betting they will be the night game. We'll find out how good McSorely really is next year. Barkley isn't around anymore, and neither are several of McSorely's top pass-catching targets.
Wisconsin should be a great one too, but I could also see that game being as exciting as burnt toast. Another one between two great defenses where the first team to 17 wins.
Whichever games we can get back to A2 for - those will be my favorites. When you miss so many home games, the ones you do see live are that much more memorable no matter the opponent. Jealous of you guys that are still local.
Definitely Penn State. We need to get a little get back from those tree jumpers, when we ride on our enemies.
I'm with you on Penn State.
I will flip two and three.
The rest okay.
Dude a bunch of big name game's this season.
I can wait though. I want some summer!!!
Wisconsin- always a big game and a test
Psu- revenge game.
Wisconsin. I was there in 2016 and the atmosphere was electric. I'm hoping for another top-10 matchup in which we come out on top again!
Me too that wisconsin game had to be one of the most electric atmospheres ive ever been too. After the Lewis interception that place erupted
