Who would you like to see a home and home with?
February 17th, 2021 at 1:46 PM ^
i had my trip to seattle planned and everything for Washington. They have great beer.. so..can we get @Washington again??
February 17th, 2021 at 1:56 PM ^
Me too, that one hurt.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:01 PM ^
Same. Great beer. Great food. Maybe the most beautiful campus in America. Would love to reschedule that game.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
Yes! My nephew just signed with UW. I don’t think he’ll make the travel squad for their trip here, but I would love to see him suit up against Michigan.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:29 PM ^
Anyone heard anything about rescheduling? I can't imagine UW is happy losing their home half of the series, so they've gotta be looking into it. (I'm very biased because I live about 2 miles from Husky Stadium.)
Re: beer, Fremont Brewing is one of the best and just about within walking (or certainly biking) distance from UW, and it's a nice trip along the water to get there. Then there are tons of good breweries in and around Ballard, just a few miles farther west.
8.6.0February 17th, 2021 at 2:44 PM ^
I live outside of Seattle and was really looking forward to that game.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
How about Ole Miss. Get 2 wins over an SEC school, and a chance to check out tailgating on The Grove
February 17th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
Get into the big recruiting areas:
-Florida/FSU/Miami
-USC
-Texas/ATM
-LSU/GA
February 17th, 2021 at 1:52 PM ^
Isn't UF our 4th or 5th rival?
February 17th, 2021 at 2:16 PM ^
Florida: traditional conference rival. We plan them more often than half of the B1G West.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
I like the USC idea. Both from a recruiting footprint standpoint, and also as probably the closest thing to a Notre Dame stand-in.
February 18th, 2021 at 8:28 PM ^
I would love a home and home with any of those schools. . .as long as we schedule it in November.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
Tennessee - so all of our future Tennessee born players can show out in their home state and demonstrate why departing for Ann Arbor was the smart choice (looking at you Walter Nolen).
February 17th, 2021 at 3:00 PM ^
As a Knoxville resident I second this. Two of the largest stadiums in the country. One that is a proper house of football that is well designed and aesthetically pleasing. The other a mismatch of parts smashed together to get more seats.
Plus some solid breweries here as well. Alliance Brewing and Crafty Bastard are my local favorites.
February 17th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
Worse erector set: Neyland or Beaver Stadium.
February 17th, 2021 at 3:24 PM ^
Tie? I have never been to Beaver but certainly not impressed with the photos. At least Neyland is on the river. You can also buy beer at Neyland now. $9 tall boy Lagunitas! But as a stadium its a bit of a cluster.
February 17th, 2021 at 3:14 PM ^
Maybe get Woodson and Manning on the pregame show to talk about something I can't quite put my finger on...
February 17th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
Texas, Ole Miss, LSU, Georgia, Alabama.
Just a few road destinations I've always wanted to visit. The latter three may not be in our best interests but so what.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
I would be open to playing anyone as long as it isn't a PAC-12 team. Every time we go out there it's a bad time.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:50 PM ^
MeanJoe to Rgard: "Your mom"
My football answer: Georgia
I haven't visited any SEC campuses, but Athens, GA is high on my list for a football Saturday experience.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
Athens is incredibly cool and a football weekend there was way less expensive than I thought it would be.
February 17th, 2021 at 3:03 PM ^
Not much of a contest anymore...
February 17th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
The steering wheel is located on the correct side of the vehicle for Australian traffic, which proves that you didn't use a random stock image of a simian driving a vehicle. That's legitimately you driving Down Under.
But I'm not sure that's actually MeanJoe's body. It's not sufficiently syphilitic.
February 17th, 2021 at 4:12 PM ^
That probably isn't MeanJoe; more likely one of his verminous cousins. Last I heard he was in a burn unit in Canberra.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:52 PM ^
Based on some combination of the school's fit with U of M, the town, and the game atmosphere (and in no particular order):
- UC Berkeley / Stanford
- USC
- LSU
- Texas
- Colorado (had one of these on the '90s)
- Georgia
- Miami (had one half of this x 2 in the '80s)
- UNC
- UVa (had one half of this in the '90s)
February 17th, 2021 at 2:18 PM ^
This is also my answer. Never played them and would be a great recruiting tool.
February 17th, 2021 at 4:13 PM ^
Seconded. Easily the best program we've never played. Home and home night games would be especially cool.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
LSU, for obvious reasons, but only if our away is not in August/September. Too damn hot for that down here.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
UNC
UGA
LSU
Texas AM
UCLA
OLE MISS-Want to tailgate at the grove.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
UCLA. That way I can finally watch *live* a Michigan loss in Rose Bowl Stadium.
Seriously though, since we already have upcoming home and homes with Texas and OU, we should go after an SEC or ACC school. Some fun matchups in order would be:
1. Georgia
2. Florida
3. UNC
4. Miami
5. Va Tech
February 17th, 2021 at 2:20 PM ^
We had road games scheduled at both UCLA and VaTech, then canceled them. Disappointing move on M's part.
February 17th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
San Diego State
February 17th, 2021 at 1:56 PM ^
Someone we can beat...
February 17th, 2021 at 1:58 PM ^
Cal, UCLA, UNC, UVA, Georgia Tech to reign supreme over all public universities
February 17th, 2021 at 1:59 PM ^
Stanford
February 17th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
UNC. I lived in NC for a long time. When I first moved there it was brought up that you should decide which color blue you liked better. I chose Carolina Blue over Duke blue. Plus I love the state.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:11 PM ^
Gonzaga.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:11 PM ^
Tulane In February.
My liver is the only loser here.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:22 PM ^
Georgia.
Oregon.
Washington.
UCLA or USC.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:22 PM ^
North Carolina
Georgia
Ole Miss
TAMU
TCU
Arizona and Arizona State
February 17th, 2021 at 2:23 PM ^
I'd be game for October home and home night games with LSU
February 17th, 2021 at 2:25 PM ^
Having been born and raised in the Atlanta area, GT and UGA are always at the top of my list.
Stanford would be interesting from the Harbaugh connection perspective.
I've always thought a home-home against Cal would've been interesting, if for no other reason than the colors on the field.
From a recruiting perspective, gotta hit the fertile talent grounds - sunshine state (FSU), one of the TX schools (maybe TCU or Baylor, just to be a bit different), one of the SoCal schools (UCLA, sticking to the UC theme).
February 17th, 2021 at 3:06 PM ^
Cal would be great. Gorgeous setting, peer school and (unlike many past trips out west) one we'd win.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:25 PM ^
I live in Colorado, so I want a home-and-home with CU.
I went to the 1994 game in Ann Arbor and witnessed Kordell Stewart's Hail Mary. I was living in Alabama at the time so the drive back to Huntsville, was long and sad.
In 1996, I had moved back to Colorado and got my revenge in Boulder. It was very satisfying, to say the least. I believe we were the underdog to the Buffs lead by boy wonder coach Rick Neuheisel.
Boulder is absolutely one of the most scenic college towns in America. There is also a plethora of great microbreweries in Colorado.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:29 PM ^
UCLA or USC. Being from San Diego, would love to see Michigan play iconic programs in the west coast. I would imagine the game will create a lot of buzz, which will be great for recruiting.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:31 PM ^
Wake Forest....So I can see Michigan play in my home city and state.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:31 PM ^
Miami, it's past time to get revenge.
I'd throw in Kansas as long as Les is still there. I don't think we'd have to make it a home and home, maybe a 2 for 1, but Lawrence is a nice college town.
February 17th, 2021 at 2:32 PM ^
I like the idea of Colorado. USC or UCLA as well. Lets get out west. Reupping with Washington also seems like a solid idea.
