Home and home with PAC12 opponent in 2014?
I haven't seen this posted yet, but the Detroit News is reporting that Dave Brandon has something in the works to possibly schedule a home and home with a PAC12 school starting in 2014. This would be interesting, especially considering we already have an agreement to start playing home-and-homes with the PAC12 annually starting in 2017
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon told me this week he is looking at a couple proposals and should have something to announce within the next few weeks. He indicated one option is scheduling a home game with a Pac-12 team — there are two open dates on Michigan's 2014 schedule — or a home-and-home, or even both options.
No word on what the other proposal may be, but I'm intrigued.
If Brandon is unhappy having to go to UConn for a road game, I'm guessing Brandon isn't looking at making a trip to Utah. While it's stadium is probably bigger than UConn, it probably doesn't hold that much (neither does Colorado's unless they move the game to where the Bronco's play).
True. Utah holds 45,017 and UConn holds 40,000 so there really isn't that much difference. On the other hand Stanford(50,000) and Oregon(54,000) aren't too much bigger than Utah's, despite getting a better opponent. Washington St, Oregon St, Colorado, and Arizona are all also under 60k.

I would like to see Michigan play Oregon or Oregon State so I am able to go to the game!
I would like to see games against USC, Oregon or Stanford. In that order... really need some wins against USC.
I really like the idea of our program going into its fourth season under Hoke having a crack at USC or Stanford actually. Both schools seem to be loading up on 4 and 5 star talent, if their recruiting trends hold for 2013 anyway (neither has 17 commits yet, of course, but their commits to date look pretty damn good), and I think that these could be great games by the time 2014 rolls around with the team we'll likely have coming into that timeframe.
Still don't have the Defending National Champs
MSU doesn't? They have a home and home coming up with Alabama.
Doesn't mean you play the defending National Champ, does it? You play the current defending National Champs, in 4-5 years, when they could be completely irrelevent. That's almost the same I guess.
Didn't you already admit to being an MSU fan? You can't do that and then go back to pretending to me a Michigan fan. That's not even trolling, it's just dumb.
What, me? When did I ever admit to being an MSU fan??
And you already let slip you're not a U-M fan like you claim above-
LOL. Enjoy your acc opponent. I will remember you when you kick off against Alabama in 2012.

You may be stupid, but the rest of us aren't. The only people you're fooling with your "game" are the mods, who for some reason haven't banned you yet.
What exactly has been ban worthy? I'm not following you here. Telling another poster to enjoy an ACC opponent or that I will think of them on the home opener (because of something silly they said) is bannable?
And every post I make is about MSU? Have you SEEN this board over the last couple years? There are constant MSU/"Little Brother"/"Sparty"/Updates on something their athletics departments or players are doing... face it, this board brings them up regularly. Don't single me out for discussing them after they're brought up by other posters (validated by the fact that I never start my own threads).
But for being an MSU troll who has repeatedly tried to pretend to be a Michigan fan. That's pretty much the definition of trolling. There are a number of MSU (and OSU) posters on here to present contrary opinions in threads about their teams. None of them are lying about it and trying to pull a fast one to be snarky.
What THIS posts says is you refer to fans of Michigan as someone else. So you're not a Michigan fan. Maybe you were drinking when you let this one slip. I think there were others, but a simple search only comes up with so much. And if you're NOT a Michigan fan...as you've lied about, repeatedly, and everything you post about is MSU-related...do I really need to connect these dots for you?
You're mistaking the (fluid terminology) of "post" and "thread"...which to be fair aren't clearly defined. I wasn't saying you start new threads on the Board about MSU. I'm saying every individual post you make in every thread/post you post in is about MSU. Defending everything about them. Sometimes with decent reason. It's obvious you know stuff about MSU that only someone who follows them would...or someone who cares about them would post. You're not talking about other programs...or even Michigan, really, except in how they compare/refer to MSU.
You are not a Michigan fan. You are a liar. And not a very good one. Your only purpose is to tweek Michigan fans by pretending to be what you're not.
Saying it enough times doesn't make it true. You're stretching. As I already said in that post I said "your" as in that particular poster. YOU keep saying I meant something else. You say I meant all UM fans, I say I meant one particular poster in that thread. There is no way to prove either so why you think you're right by default doesn't make sense.
You're the one saying I've "lied repeatedly" but when I ask you to prove it all you can say is "a search only comes up with so much". Ok, so just admit you have nothing and stop smearing me. You're alleging a lot of things (me lying, repeated lies, only posting about MSU...) but you're proving nothing. And like you said, IF all I post in are threads about MSU then why are you singling me out? You're singling out the reaction, not the action. Why don't you get equally upset over everyone else who is mentioning MSU and leave me alone?
Just because you spout off things with more confidence (little snide, direct accusations like "You are not a Michigan fan. You are a liar.") doesn't make it any more true. You can bold it, underline it, type it all in caps lock but it doesn't make it any more true. I think you're just mad you aren't bothering me and I rubbed your face in it by shooting down your ONE example of something I posted.
Nice try MSU troll.
Would have to be USC or Stanford
To echo a lot of what has been said here, Stanford would be a good matchup. Do a home-and-home for 2014-2015, take 2016 off (or schedule a big mid-major at home like Boise State), then start 2017 with the original plan.
