OSU-MSU home-home, away-away schedule hasn't changed
Just received the weekly message from "This week in Michigan Football." There is a link embedded that takes you to their website in case you are interested in getting on a waiting list for football tickets. That mgoblue page lists the future schedules for those interested in tickets and shows that MSU and OSU games are still scheduled at home together next year and away the following year, as they were scheduled pre-covid. Everything I've seen/heard has assumed that because the games are split this year that they would be split in following years. Apparently that assumption is wrong. Be advised!
There is also a very cool 3-D stadium view app that you can access, so you can "see" the inside of the stadium from whatever seat interests you. Here is a link to my seat in Section 3: https://www.seats3d.com/ncaa/university_michigan/football/#/p;253__p_3_21/ Have fun with this! Not quite the same as being there but very creative.

Posting here so that people see this:
Michigan’s future schedule list hasn’t been updated since may 2019. So it doesn’t have the updated post covid schedules yet.

I found that Don's reply got me to the same information, actually.

Am I wrong in thinking Manuel is a huge pushover?

Meh. Having OSU and PSU on home/away schedules really matters. MSU can go choke on one. The real crime is him allowing the league to have the bye four weeks in during 2023. Those eight weeks leading to OSU with no rest will matter.
October 5th, 2020 at 4:47 PM ^
Super Meh. OSU and PSU are clearly the "circle the date" games on the schedule. Those two games need to have alternating home years. The rest of the division (including Sparty) can just fall where they may. In fact, with Wisconsin on the schedule regularly over the past few years, I'm glad that those game didn't fall into the same home/away cadence as OSU.

I guess Michigan can sure use those eight bye weeks leading up to the OSU game. Oh wait! That's not what you said. Never mind. The season ends on Thanksgiving. Not sure why we play that exhibition scrimmage on that Saturday after Black Friday.

I can guarantee you that the ticket office thinks differently. OSU and MSU are the two games most in demand for tickets, year-in and year-out. Fans dig the rivalry games.
I can't believe the OP is correct about this though. There is no way we're hosting Sparty three consecutive years.
October 5th, 2020 at 4:42 PM ^
Why would you surmise that? It’s your opinion but it seems like you aren’t aware of your own opine.
October 5th, 2020 at 7:24 PM ^
Yes, yes you are. Just like the OP is wrong about the schedule

So MSU is playing three straight road games in Ann Arbor? Sounds like a soft ass AD
October 5th, 2020 at 4:43 PM ^
You did a lot better than I did. Trolling is at an all time high.
October 5th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
One of Brandon's many mistakes takes a brief interlude before resurfacing in 2021...ugh
October 5th, 2020 at 3:54 PM ^
So that would be 3 straight years getting MSU at home?
October 5th, 2020 at 3:55 PM ^
So Michigan would be playing three home games against MSU in a row? That seems doubtful. I’d guess it’s probably just a mistake.
October 5th, 2020 at 3:56 PM ^
Yeah, didn't the Big Ten specifically say this was the case when it was announced?
October 5th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
Probably a mistake. I can't imagine MSU would agree to play in Ann Arbor 3 consecutive years in a row.
October 5th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
So we either get Sparty at home back to back to back years and kick their ass and then goes back to the way it was already scheduled, or it alternates with the OSU game and we still kick their ass.
Result is the same.
October 5th, 2020 at 4:01 PM ^
How do you think MSU feels then? They have to go to Ann Arbor three straight years to play. Students who started at MSU last year have to wait until their senior year to get to see MSU play Michigan in East Lansing.
I don't know, to me I'm not bothered much by this even if the schedules aren't switched for good. MSU clearly is not the same formidable power it was from 2010-2015 under Dantonio. Until Mel Tucker proves otherwise, I'm not too concerned about MSU regardless of where Michigan plays them. Now if we had to go to Happy Valley and Columbus in the same year, yeah I'd be upset. But I think the schedule is fine the way it is. Making MSU come here three straight times more than makes up for the scheduling disaster that DB left for us in 2013-14.

@ MSU and IU at Michigan Stadium for 2021 and you have the correct UM Scheduled opponents for 2021 as stated by the conference when these new schedules came out this year.
October 5th, 2020 at 4:44 PM ^
This has to be a mistake?,... what are we paying Warde Manuel to do ?!
October 5th, 2020 at 5:31 PM ^
MSU Summary:
Peoples-Jones, down the sideline!
Peoples-Jones, touchdown!
OSU Summary:
They score 60, we don't.
October 5th, 2020 at 8:42 PM ^
What I want to know is how many years straight do we still have to play Wisconsin? I thought teams were supposed to rotate with the other division. I think we have played Wisconsin 10 years in a row.
October 5th, 2020 at 10:19 PM ^
The B1G uses a semi-permanent crossover game for each team, with the protected team changing every 5 years. Wisconsin is our protected cross-over right now. In 2022, our protected cross-over becomes Nebraska through the 2027 season.

They will probably flip at Indiana 10/16/21 to a home game. Otherwise, we would be on the road against them (3) straight years. They will probably flip MSU to a road game so they wouldn't be on the road (3) straight years. Also, I noticed that in 2022 we have (8) home games. I hope that holds.
