Michigan and Oklahoma to Play a Home-and-Home in 2025, 2026

Like everyone else, I'll be a lot older then.  But this is another nice addition to the future schedules.  Brain says this is the "first game that comes close to NDs appeal."  Maybe that's true, but ND's appeal is 10/10.  There aren't many 10/10 programs out there and white tape and other commitments probably made them difficult to schedule less than a decade ahead.  I think we've done a pretty good job scheduling.  

I don't see anything wrong with Oregon State or Colorado, BYU or Central Florida in 2015 and 16.  But I do admit they aren't necessarily needle movers.  I'll give the AD some benefit knowing that it probably is somewhat difficult to attract big names on short notice (or one reason or another).  

1. Florida (neutral) -- Regardless of your opinion on neutral site games, this will be very fun.
2. Arkansas -- Not a SEC powerhouse, but they are an on-off SEC contender (more recently than we've been a conference contender).  Bret is a good coach, and an asshole so I'll be interested to watch this one.  Then again, if he doesn't have them improving...he might be replaced by a different big money coach.  It's an SEC opponent and it's not Vanderbilt.  No complaints here.
3. Virginia Tech -- Their quality has suffered a bit lately, but they're still VTech.  That's a school you think about when you think about college football.  Good brand.  Impossible to predict how they'll be. They're one of the heavyweights in the ACC.  I'm very interested in this home-home.
4. Oklahoma -- As discussed by everyone else. I love it.

Besides this season (mostly the Big Ten's fault.  HOW are MSU and OSU both away in the same year? Plus no Wisconsin or Nebraska) the scheduling commitments look fine moving forward.  

BTW, we play Utah - a recent perrenial 10+ win team before a move TO the Pac-12 this year. For as bad as our home schedule is, I think Utah, Penn State, and Maryland are three games I'm very interested in.

I'll be in my fifties. Not sure I'll even care. My kids will be grown. I'm sad now. Thanks a lot.

I will be in my 50's when this game is played! Probably dead or handicapped by then. Lol

Kid w be 24 then. Damn

So what're the uniformz going to look like? Will DB have us playing in all-maize uniforms covered to the brim in Dominos' logos? Will our mascot be changed to the fighting pizza?

The time between now and this game is about the same amount of time between now and when we last won a Big Ten Championship.

/ducks

was something about 2025 that sold the date for both teams, it will be the 50th anniversary of the one and only meeting between the two storied programs, the 1976 Orange Bowl. 

 

Very cool but also very stupid that it is 11 years from now.

Oklahoma and Michigan will be in the same major super conference. Where three conferences exist and determined by regional locations. 1984'd

Be presented by Apple, played on the Moon, have fireworks after every touchdown, with halftime entertainment by Madonna's daughter and our mascotS, and feature our new fight song: Build Me Up Buttercup dub remix.

Man I'm gonna be 9 for that game. Wait... Did I do that math wrong?

Cool I guess. I hope college football still exists in 2025. Or football in general. 

My question still remains why we don't have any good games like this to look forward to for literally a decade. Our best OOC game at home is freaking Arkansas. So lame. 

We used to get PAC 12 teams all the time like Oregon, Washington, UCLA. Syracuse a couple times. Colorado when they won more than 3 games a year. 

11 and 12 years is not that long, it will get here before you know it, life is fleeting. So quit complaining about how long it will take to get here, it's a great home and home, what many on here have been clamoring for.

Rememebr 2003? Doesn't seem that long ago, does it?

Be my oldest son's freshman year (the second game). Very far away

That's great. Hope I'm still kicking it.

I can only imagine that rascal as a teenager.
