extra WOW factor we fans crave so much. Imagine our dilemma of trying to figure whether we get to play Ohio State twice in a season, or whether we get to play College of Faith. Imagine the possibilities. Who doesn;t love suprises! WOW!
September 5th, 2014 at 2:44 PM ^
he was referring to yesterday's nd/osu announcement to deflect attention away from him? Nothing bands us fans together like a good ol' controversy...

Release: Michigan has announced a home and home against a real Catholic University, Boston College. The two teams are scheduled to play in 2063 and 2064.
Brady Hoke: "Well, we told you we had a plan, didn't we?"
September 5th, 2014 at 8:19 PM ^
At the Vatican, sponsored by ______ ( I will leave the setup for someone else to finish )
September 5th, 2014 at 3:24 PM ^
Watching season 8 on Netflix as we speak.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
Same here.
I fucking love the boys!
September 5th, 2014 at 4:02 PM ^
Holy shit, I didnt know it was on there yet. Gotta go watch!
September 5th, 2014 at 7:27 PM ^
Pumped!!
September 5th, 2014 at 5:54 PM ^
Hell yes, boys. Peperoni and smokes are on me.
September 5th, 2014 at 2:47 PM ^
Michigan to play Appalachian State on the road.
/doom
September 5th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
I doubt it would be at their stadium since it only holds 24,050.
Bank of America Stadium, probably.
September 5th, 2014 at 4:00 PM ^
I've actually heard wonderful things about Boone, NC. Might not be a bad roadtrip.

September 5th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
And then cut 5 more Longhorns from the roster.

We're swapping Indiana for Texas recruting. See DB is going national as well!!
September 5th, 2014 at 2:58 PM ^
In a Detroit News article earlier today, Brandon said that Michigan had home-and-home games scheduled or contracted or verbally committed through 2027.
See http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140904/SPORTS0201/309040127/0/SPOR…-
The ones that have been been announced so far starting in 2018 are Arkansas (2018/9), Washington & Virginia Tech (2020/1), UCLA (2022/3) and Oklahoma (2025/6). If you take Brandon's statement at face value, then there is at least one more home-and-home series for the 2024 and 2027 seasons.
We'll see what happens in due course. It'll be interesting to see if Michigan schedules two home-and-home series with Power 5 Conference teams in the future like we're seeing for 2020/1. Notre Dame is trying to move the games it has with Texas because of their series with Georgia in 2017 and 2019. Perhaps that will open up an opportunity for UM to play UT before the decade is up.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:01 PM ^
Is V.T. confirmed? If so, isn't that the second "big" announcement?
I remember seeing that VT series pop up in a post during the UW announcement but I thought it was refuted shortly after (like the post that said it was BYU)
September 5th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
VT has been confirmed for over a year.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:59 PM ^
VT was a done deal before President Lincoln was shot.
September 5th, 2014 at 4:09 PM ^
Oh boy, I don't have a good feeling about that Johnson fella.
September 5th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 4:49 PM ^
So tea leaves imply Texas at the Big House in 2024 and in Austin in 2027 (recall MSU/OSU are @ Michigan in odd numbered years).
What's most interesting though is we have VT and UW in '20/'21, with 9 conference games and 1 open (for cupcake). So in all these other years are we going to double up with P5 opponents or am I missing something?
Brandon seemed to suggest strongly in that article that we don't have room for ND until post-2027.
Part of the ND series falling apart (among many, many other things) is probably Brandon wanting to flip the Home & Home so we are on the road in odd years.

I peruse MGoBlog way more than I should and haven't seen this but many people here apparently know about it. Is this from a ($) board?
September 5th, 2014 at 3:25 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
Then someone is really dropping the ball. Why are things posted at Rivals not being reposted here for us cheapskates?
September 5th, 2014 at 3:44 PM ^
Just for the general knwoledge of the board, here is what is known about Texas' OOC schedule for the foreseeable future - LINK
They've got USC and Maryland in 2018, but they are still reasonably open after that, so it might be possible. Actually, it would be a nice marquee matchup, I think.
September 5th, 2014 at 4:50 PM ^
and a guaranteed road trip.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 3:13 PM ^
Texas would be awesome.
When you think 'marquee matchup' there are very very few teams comparable to Texas. Maybe USC or Georgia or Alabama
September 5th, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
No!!! Because the game in Austin will only be shown on the Longhorn Network.
September 5th, 2014 at 4:26 PM ^
That game will be on ABC/ESPN primetime and gameday will be in Austin
September 5th, 2014 at 3:05 PM ^
At Washington is one
Home against Washington is two.
Even these werent on the timeframe of his original schedule of end of week.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
Given how far out these are being scheduled here's what me and misses will look like when we go to the second big game I'm sure...
September 5th, 2014 at 3:15 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 3:24 PM ^
Every time they announce one of these, I email my boss with the subject line "I will be [insert age here] when..." It's become a running joke between us.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:25 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
I would like it to be someone from the SEC. We will have plenty of PAC-12 in the future, and I don't care too much for anyone in the Big-12.
Team like: Georgia or Texas A&m, maybe one of the Mississippi schools.
September 5th, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
September 5th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
UW announced their series with us and BYU at the same time.
