2010 Home Opener

That was a creative thought, too bad they couldn't get it done. BCS conference team with a ton of history between the two schools would have been a great way to "re-open" the Big House.

I'd love to see Colorado back in the Big House.

we should schedule the steelers for the opener. we'll sell some extra ads to pay for it.

Michigan 2009 vs. Michigan 1997. Book it!

would be sweeeeet along with roasting those Ducks.

would be cool. First of all, GERG vs. Shafer. But more importantly, I still want payback for the beating we took against Donovan McNabb in the 1998 home opener. That was the first home game after the renovations that expanded our stadium by 5,000 seats, thus making us the biggest stadium in the country again.

(side note: That was also the only time Brady faced McNabb until they rematched in Superbowl XXXIX)

I'd like to see Hawaii... for some reason. I guess they're just a pretty well respected school these days, but should be beatable, and they'd have pretty much no fans in MI, so the crowd wouldn't be maize dotted with another color like most games. Just beautiful waves of Maize.

another blog someting about Texas Tech thats something I would like to see.

I would like to see Arkansas (Ryan Mallett) or ASU (if Threet is supposed to be the starter in 2010).

With all the recruiting were doing in FLA wouldn't it be nice to start with one of the two. Maybe even the Gators as they won't have "the greatest human on the planet" playing QB anymore. Oops forgot that the SEC OOC is even weaker than ours.

anything other than a MAC, WAC, MWC or non-BCS conf school would be great.

They currently have a date open on September 4th, 2010.

My head is spinning. Would have been incredible to have the Gophers in. It's the 100th anniversary of the first game that the teams actually played for the jug. Did Martin give anymore details?

by my calculations...

ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, BOSTON COLLEGE, GEORGIA TECH, OKLAHOMA STATE, OREGON STATE, PITT, SYRACUSE, VIRGINIA, & WASHINGTON STATE. If I missed any please let me know and who is ur fav of them all?

I vote for Oklahoma State...

Scheduling a Big Ten team as a "non-conference" game is dumb. Either you play them in conference so it counts in the conference standings or you don't. The round robin rotation of missing teams is part of the imperfect system we are stuck with.

As far as who to play in the first game of the renovated stadium? It will be whichever BCS team Martin can find that doesn't demand a return game. That list has to be pretty short and might include heavyweights like Duke and Vanderbilt.

I'm already anticipating having to unload my UMass tickets.

There was a rumor few months ago which stated that Ole Miss might come up to Michigan to play. Also another sec team rumored to come up was GA TECH.

I would like to see Boston College there was a 4 game series in the 90s I beleive, or Tennessee or UCLA

I am from Piscataway and was recently having a conversation with a few of my friends who stated, and I quote "If Rutgers joined the big 10 this season they would be top 3 and would beat Michigan by at least TD's." I almost laughed up my "beverage" and couldn't stop laughing. I remember when I was in middle school, they had a cannon they would shoot off for every offense TD scored at home. I went to every game, and the cannon might as well have been broken. They didn't shoot it off once (at least in my mind). This is the team that quick kicked on 3rd down and kicked the ball backwards. I would love to see us absolutely annihilate them and show them that 3 years of semi-success doesn't constitute gloating.
