ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The athletic departments at the University of Michigan and the University of Texas have reached an agreement in principle to play the first-ever home-and-home football series between two of college football's most recognizable programs. The two schools rank first (Michigan, 912) and third (Texas, 876) in all-time victories.
The Wolverines will host the Longhorns at Michigan Stadium on Aug. 31, 2024. The return trip by Michigan to Austin will take place on Sept. 4, 2027.
"A match-up of this magnitude doesn't come along all that often, and when it does it's special for both programs and the great fans that support each institution," said Brady Hoke, U-M's J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach. "This also is a special series for all fans of college football, and I anticipate great games just like the first contest played between the two programs."
I'll be 29 when they play in 2024 in Ann Arbor. And when they play in 2027 in Austin, It will be the 100th anniversary of Michigan Stadium and the 30th anniversary of the 1997 national championship....

home on 8/31/24, at Texas on 9/4/27. (MGoBlue release)
I don't recommend doing the math on how old you'll be by then
September 17th, 2014 at 1:08 PM ^
I'll be 29 and 32....
September 17th, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
ehhh you might have the least to gripe about amongst the MGoUsers
September 17th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
you'll just start to feel pressure to move out of your parents house by then.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
That all you got?
September 17th, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
you'll be alone forever.
September 17th, 2014 at 10:37 PM ^
I'm not gonna argue with that.
September 17th, 2014 at 6:27 PM ^
will have married and fathered the first 3 (nicknamed Ox, Moose, and Whitey, of course) of your projected 11 children.
September 17th, 2014 at 10:20 PM ^
Typically one must touch a woman and "fuck her right in the pussy" before any children come along. I don't have much faith in WD when it comes to this.
September 17th, 2014 at 11:08 PM ^
I've already FHRITP. I'm in college.
September 17th, 2014 at 11:22 PM ^
Congrats.. since I can't shake your hand or give you a fist bump, here is one mgopoint for you and a neg for myself for underestimating you.
September 17th, 2014 at 6:38 PM ^
I just upvoted your OP for getting this information out to the rest of us so quickly. One criticism of your post, though---I see no connection between the facts that 2027 is the 100th Anniversary of Michigan Stadium and that we're playing at Texas in 2027. Would have been better to leave that out and instead only mention the 30th Anniversary of the 1997 NC Team.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
Let's just say I'll be over the hill when we play in Austin.
September 17th, 2014 at 2:41 PM ^
I hope I live than long, it's depressing just thinking about how far out that is.
September 17th, 2014 at 2:50 PM ^
2027? The 10th anniversary of our national title!
September 17th, 2014 at 1:06 PM ^
There's a 50% chance I'm dead before we complete this home-and-home series but yay anyways.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:06 PM ^
I'll be applying for my AARP card about then...
September 17th, 2014 at 1:32 PM ^
is sent to you about four weeks before your 50th B-day. Don't ask me how I know.

the timing of this series considering this guy is probably responsible for sending many of us to early graves.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:09 PM ^
Awesome? I guess? I just don't have the long-term thinking to get that excited about something that will last three hours and is half a lifetime away (Literally. 13 years is half the time I have been alive).
But for those with greater delayed gratification capacity than I, enjoy it!
September 17th, 2014 at 1:11 PM ^
I think they should seal OOC schedules in an envelope, stored in a vault only to be opened and announced 3 or 4 yrs prior to them actually happening.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:09 PM ^
Well we knew it wasn't gonna be anytime soon, but still very cool.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
September 17th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
Can I use my social security benefits to buy tickets in 2027???
September 17th, 2014 at 1:26 PM ^
Here's to making the road trip to Austin in my flying car
September 17th, 2014 at 1:12 PM ^
Can't book plane tickets that far in advance... hm... I guess I will learn how to fly instead.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
When you're through the series, let me know.
September 17th, 2014 at 3:35 PM ^
and he'll fly for a day.
Push a man out of a plane, and he'll fly for the rest of his life.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
I will be 52. I will take my 21 year old daughter (who will be a Sr. at UofM) and my 18 year old daughter (who will be a Fr. at UofM) to Austin for this game. Their boyfriends shall not be invited.
It has been declared, and therefore, it will be done....
September 17th, 2014 at 1:32 PM ^
Oh Yul. You should have not smoked, bro.
September 17th, 2014 at 2:48 PM ^
By then the admittance rate will be <1% and you will need to be a transgender full-blooded Cherokee Mensa member to be admitted.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
and the players of the return match are pooping in their pants while at preschool now,lol.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
thats something to look forward too. Maybe by then I'll get an AARP discount on my tickets lodging and airfare.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
Good, I'll hopefully have that self-driving car to take me to Austin. Or maybe teleportation will be invented by then? I like to think I'd still drive for the nostalgia of it.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
who we will schedule in 50-60 years from now, is LSU open for a home and home?
September 17th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
our futurisitic football robots will defeat their futurisitic football robots.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
The 2027 game is irrelevant. We're not sure man will be alive past 2025.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
September 17th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
Also: as of right now, Michigan will not play a MAC school until 9/12/2020 when they face Ball State.
That will be Michigan's longest stretch of not playing a MAC team since the 1944-1994 drought.
So here are the non-conference series against Power 5 Conference teams Michigan has scheduled
- 2015- at Utah, vs Oregon State, vs BYU
- 2016- vs Colorado
- 2017- Florida (Cowboys Classic)
- 2018- vs Arkansas
- 2019- at Arkansas
- 2020- at Washington, vs Virginia Tech
- 2021- at Virginia Tech, vs Washington
- 2022- vs UCLA
- 2023- at UCLA
- 2024- vs Texas
- 2025- at Oklahoma
- 2026- vs Oklahoma
- 2027- vs Texas
September 17th, 2014 at 1:28 PM ^
Georgia 2028, 2029. It is just wrong that these 2 storied programs have not played in 50 years. How have we constantly missed them all these years with the SEC bowl tie ins?
September 17th, 2014 at 1:31 PM ^
What's even more puzzling is Michigan never playing LSU. Not once. Never played Clemson, either.
so it' set-
- 2028- vs Georgia
- 2029- at Georgia
- 2030- vs LSU
- 2031- at LSU
- 2032- at Clemson
- 2033- vs Clemson
My God.....2035 I'll be 40........

Hey. If you have a healthy lifestyle, you have a chance to reach the year 2100.
September 17th, 2014 at 1:52 PM ^
Why does it matter how old you'll be?
September 17th, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
Why does why it matters to me, matter to you?
