Notre Dame Resumption Official
[Eric Upchurch]
The Michigan-Notre Dame football series will resume on Sept. 1, 2018, when the Irish host the Wolverines in the season opener before a Oct. 26, 2019, date at Michigan Stadium.
As the previous post notes I'm surprised that it's at ND in 2018, from the perspective of both teams. I'd rather have ND on the schedule than Arkansas no matter which team gets a home date. Meanwhile having the ND game 2019 in the meat of the conference schedule is odd. Michigan has Penn State before that game and Maryland after.
You are making the argument to keep the Arkansas game. We still have a game to shedule in 2018, since we are dropping Arkansas. You know perfectly well that the team we get won't be as good as Arkansas. It wasn't ND or Arknsas, it was ND+Arkansas or ND + tomato can.
After all that Michigan fans and alumni have been through with the previous AD's mysterious decisions from on high, you would think that the current AD would realize that this will create a shit storm, and would have a viable explanation at the ready.
If there is some hidden compelling logic behind this decision that we, the great unwashed masses, just don't get, it's time to come out with it.
If I would have thought of the ways UM could have been raked over in getting ND back on the schedule, this implementation would have covered all of them. Just HORRIBLE planning.
The 2018 season ticket renewal package will include a Warde Manual replica dildo with instructions on how to properly insert it. Lubrication will be at your own expense.

Wait a minute...I thought we were finished with the dong punches.
When did we re-hire Brandon?

On this move is malfeasance. Where are Schlissel and the Regents, aren't they supposed to be the ultimate grown ups around here? I'd be fired if I blew $2 million on a deal like this.

One scenario I could envision:
Jim Harbaugh: Warde, I don't care what it takes, I really want ND on the schedule ASAP
Warde Manuel: ND, huh? OK, Jim, let's see what we can do coming up in the 2020's...
JH: Nah-uh, I am thinking by year 4 or 5 of my contract at the latest.
WM: But Jim, we already have this nice series with Arkansas...
JH: I don't care about that. I want to play ND before I...I just want 'em.
WM: Before what?
JH: Never mind. Just get ND on the phone.
a few days later...
WM: Well Jim, I talked to ND. But they said the only way they're interested is if we reopen the series THERE in the opener in 2018. That'll mean OSU, MSU, and...
JH: Fine, do it!
WM: But Jim, we played there last, and the sneaky bastards cancelled on us...
JH: I don't care about that, the past is the past.
WM: But that will also mean we'll have to dump Arkansas, and that could get pricey.
JH: Look, my next contract will get even more pricey if you don't do it! And you know, just about every week my agent is getting calls from NFL...
WM: Alright, alright.
Who cares if we play them at home first, who cares if it stacks our home/away schedules alternating years, i'm glad ND is back, theyre our second biggest rival, nothing else matters all that much.
