MGoBlue release
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan and University of Washington will renew an old rivalry when the two football programs meet for a home-and-home series during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. This will be the 13th and 14th meetings between the two schools.
The Wolverines will travel to Seattle, Wash., for the matchup on Sept. 5, 2020, at Husky Stadium. The return trip by the Huskies will take place at Michigan Stadium on Sept. 18, 2021.
"We are excited to rekindle a rivalry that has showcased some great games and great teams for both programs," said Brady Hoke, U-M's J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach. "There have been some exciting, down-to-the-wire football games between Michigan and Washington and we anticipate the same type of contests when this series is played at the outset of the next decade."
This will be the fifth time that the two programs have played a home-and-home series.
Michigan and Washington have met on 12 previous occasions with the Wolverines holding a 7-5 edge. U-M has a 3-1 record at Michigan Stadium and is 2-2 at Husky Stadium. The two programs have played in the Rose Bowl on four instances, with each team claiming two championship trophies.
Michigan won the most recent meeting between the two teams. Philip Brabbs converted a 44-yard field as time expired to provide 13th-ranked Michigan with the season-opening 31-29 victory over 11th-ranked Washington (Aug. 31, 2002). Michigan missed three field goal attempts prior to Brabbs first career conversion.
Get a load of the non-confs of the future.

Bring on the Huskies!!!
August 20th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
Could have done better
August 20th, 2014 at 3:06 PM ^
I dunno, Sark could have them rollin by that time. Could be a top Pac-12 team by the time we play (remember, Oregon really can only go down from here)
August 20th, 2014 at 3:08 PM ^
Petersen is now the coach there.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
He's got a pretty good track record as well. I think Washington will be trending up in the PAC.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 5:13 PM ^
well-prepared. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what Michigan can come up with to counter his brilliant schemes.
huh? wat?
August 20th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
Wow, I knew that...this month of not sleeping (newborn) is catching up to me...whoops

Pretty good history between these 2 programs. Back-to-back Rose Bowls. A "recent" home-and-home with a last second FG to win for UM.
I like it.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
Actually, a longer series history than that. Much longer and many more games.

That last game out there was a killer.
Outplayed them except for 2 plays. And they were almost back to back and cost Michigan 14 points and the loss.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
I was at that last game vs Washington and I'll never forget it. UM had missed probably 4 FGs that day and Brabbs was called upon for one last try as time expired....UM wins! UM wins!

I think this was a GREAT get. Mainly as a result of living in Seattle for 8 years. I was geeked when I heard.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
Come on, get in the boat!
August 20th, 2014 at 3:10 PM ^
I don't know why, but I really like that stadium.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:18 PM ^
... great tailgating culture. Loud acoustics. And if the game is in September, hopefully weather will be nice. As a Seattleite who will have a 6 year old son by then, I am thrilled with this news.
August 20th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
You've got to love that campus and the idea of tailgating in your boat on the lake outside the stadium is really cool.
Michigan has had some really great games with Washington over the years from Bo to Carr. This is a good matchup. Looking at those future dates, Michigan will be back to the kind of scheduling it had in the good old days. That's the way it should be.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:41 PM ^
The lack of a track is only going to increase the intimidation factor there. They did a good job with the renovations.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:53 PM ^
Wow. That is a great picture. I had no idea of the stadium's surroundings. I knew about the boat tailgating, but never saw a wide shot like that.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:05 PM ^
big home and home series?
August 20th, 2014 at 3:46 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:06 PM ^
Nice awnings. Did Lowes install them?
August 20th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
Well we had to know an SEC team wasn't coming up here so, actually not a bad mini-series. Hope that in 6 years Washington is a solid football outift.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:10 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
I was going to type that as well..I decided my optimism will assume we will be.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
Sure, LSU, Georgia, and the likes would be more marquee games, but this is still a quality program from a power conference. Let's wait until they announce the second home and home before we jump all over this one in a negative light. If the other one is the crappiest power conference team out there, and this is the bigger game, then maybe throw a fit. But if the other team is of the caliber of Washington or better, I'm satisfied.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
Part of me almost doesn't want a marquee SEC team for a September home and home. We go down into their swamp and in return they get to come up for nice late-summer/early-fall weather. Now if we could ever get one of those teams up for a game in November (which of course will never happen, unless they switch to home games for the playoff semis), that would be something to see...
August 20th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
I threw out LSU and Georgia because of the constant talk of wanting to play them. But I would absolutely love for an SEC team to come up North after mid October. I guess its difficult because of scheduling. Ideally, I'd like to take on a different PAC12 team, Big12, or ACC too just to mix it up.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
I hate west coast games. Why does Michigan seemingly do poorly almost every visit there?
August 20th, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
Pac 10s do almost as poorly when they travel to the BIG
August 20th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
a series I can get behind.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:33 PM ^
Yeah...yeah...that's what I had meant to say above and...fail
August 20th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
I have a feeling these are the types of games we are gong to get more often than not. A game against a decent, not marquee, opponent in an area of the country with a fair number of alums. If we have to do a home/home might as well make it where we can have a solid fan base and agaisnt a team that we, on paper, should beat.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
Hell yes! Now I have even more ammo to use to convince my wife to buy a boat. I'll host the sailgate if you all bring the Bell's.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:18 PM ^
August 20th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
I've been wanting a small vacation in the Seattle area for some time. Now I have a good excuse. And my wife is always willing to go on a Michigan road trip.
August 20th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
When was the last time Michigan played two big non-conference games in one season? UConn and Vanderbilt don't count in my view, so I suppose 2007 with ND and Oregon?
