at Rutgers
for a B1G conf. game - still feels dirty and weird.

Dirty and weird, perhaps...
but I am going! Relatively short ride from CT, and worth it to cheer on the Leaders and Best.

@ Rutgers & @NW
will be virtual home games due to our alumni base in NYC & Chicago...so we have that going for us.

I guess they wanted to make sure that Michigan
doesn't do road trip to both Rutgers and Maryland the first year.
May 16th, 2013 at 12:14 PM

That'll happen every year
Both R and MD are in our division so we'll get them every year.
The thing I can't believe is that they didn't split up the home and road games of our two remaining rivals. We'll have both Ohio and Staee on the home roster in the odd years and neither in even.

Road trips
I think he was talking about road trips to both Rutgers and Maryland in the same year, not regarding having to play them in the same year.

Isn't Notre off the schedule that year?
Doesn't matter anyways. They will be a hopeless pile of garbage again by then anyways. And sparty is already back to sparting. 1 tough road game isn't all that bad.

Its the last year of the contract with ND where we have to go there...
I'm assuming this has to do with splitting up PSU and Ohio, but I don't even get why that was a consideration to begin with.

Long run, we'll be grateful
Long run, we'll be grateful for splitting OSU and PSU. They will be our toughest competition, more than MSU.
May 16th, 2013 at 11:44 PM
#13
Never.
I can't believe that people say such things. I don't have much to say about which teams are tougher competition; over the course of several decades, it all evens out. But the MSU and OSU home games are the top tickets on any given year's home slate.
This is a terrible departure for us and Dave Brandon knows it.
Just another way that things get screwed up. This courtesy of the B1G expansion. More games with Rutgers and Maryland. Fewer games with Wisconsin, Iowa, and the other traditional Big Ten schools. MSU and OSU crammed into the same calendar years. Two years traveling to East Lansing. None of this is good. It all sucks. I'd like Brandon to know how much this pisses people off.

ND is recruiting as well as anyone in the country. What exactly makes you think they'll be garbage?

at recruiting since, er, ever. All of their coaches have better and better seasons, then the pressure gets to be too much, and poof. Back to mediocrity.
And by the look of Kelly, that guy is about to explode really soon.

2014 home schedule: Horror II, Miami (NTM), Utah, Minnesota, crippled Penn State, Indiana, Maryland.

Ummm... Wow, that home schedule really sucks.

2 Byes
Michigan also has 2 Byes in the 2014 Big Ten Schedule.

Absolutely Horrible
The best team we'll play at home is ...? Penn State decimated by sanctions? Maryland? IU?!
What genius decided to send us back to East Lansing and give us Indiana and Minnesota at home two years in a row? And no Nebraska? I just don't get it.
EDIT: Meant as response to BlueBarron, but it doesn't matter where it goes, the schedule is still horseshit.

Well, with the ticket price
Well, with the ticket price increase and that slate this board may get it's wish of abolishing the student section that year.
EDIT: Hit reply button south of the one I wanted, apparently.

Jeez
That is horrible. Had better be another year under Hoke where we win out at home.
May 16th, 2013 at 12:16 PM
#23
That is thoroughly craptastic
I still can't beleive Brandon scheduled App St. There is nothing good that can come from that even if we win 70-0. It would be like Domino's brining back the 30 minute garuantee as a promotion despite the fact that it arguably caused multiple traffic deaths and cost the company millions in settlements and court judgments.

Yikes
That is the worst home schedule I've ever seen. Doubt they'll reduce the $2100 tab for two tickets.

I assume that includes the seat licence?
I paid less than that for 4 this year.

Wisconsin
Do we ever get to play them?

#31
Speaking of the Badgers
Did you see Wisconsin's conference schedule in 2014
They play Nw, Illinois, Maryland Rutgers, Purdue, Nebraska,Iowa and Minnesota.
No PSU, MSU, OSU or us. You'd think they'd at least throw one of the better teams from the other division on that crossover schedule. What a cakewalk.

I thought the top teams from the East and the West were supposed to play each other? If we are not playing Wisconsin, we should be playing Nebraska.

Saving some money in 2014
No need to buy a season ticket with that garbage home schedule.

What the fuck is this shit? Two years at state? Now the home schedules in even years have gone from bad to awful.

Scheduling wise it looks like
Penn State has the best slate : 3 bye weeks, with only the Michigan game in between byes, they get OSU, NW, and MSU at home.

so
we play at osu and at state? why not make one home and one away and alternate?
May 16th, 2013 at 11:19 AM

Aren't we playing at ND that
Aren't we playing at ND that year as well? Is there any reason to buy season tickets in 2014 then? So you can watch IU, PSU, MD and MINN, and then Miami, Utah, and App State?
Really need to flip the MSU game as both rivalry games will be either home or away each year.
May 16th, 2013 at 11:21 AM
#45
MSU/OSU
With ND dropping off the schedule, we just have to get this arranged so the MSU and ohio home/away games are in alternate years. That 2014 home schedule is really unappealing, although it does look like 7 home wins in 2014, at least if DG is still around.
Edit: Crap. Beat me by a minute.

Would be better for MSU to
Would be better for MSU to switch the Michigan game too, they get OSU as home in the same year as MIchigan at home. Looks like the basis for the set up was that OSU, Michigan, and PSU each play one home and one away game against the other two. Can't say I blame that methodology but Michigan's schedule got screwed.
May 16th, 2013 at 11:24 AM
#50
at least
we should go undefeated at home that year. Not like anyone will be there to see it though, good luck selling season ticket packages DB because that slate is shit awful.
