I like this a lot better than playing a MAC team...but I'd prefer we play power five teams. (even for our "easy" games, like Wake Forest, Syracuse, Iowa State, Kansas, Vanderbilt...)

At the very least, it's another item to scratch off the football bucket list for me potentially - Army is the only service academy that I have not seen play in person actually, so there's that. I actually had not seen Air Force play in person until we played them, come to think of it. Like others have said, barring massive improvement on their part, this one is probably a cupcake, but I would take this over MAC or FCS opponents in the OOC schedule.

I saw Army vs. Holy Cross a million years ago at West Point, and then I went to lacrosse camp at West Point back when I was in high school.  It is a beautiful place.  I know it would never happen, but I would love to see U-M at Army.

I love this. Went to Air Force v Navy a few years back and you gain a newfound respect for the game. It's not that easy to schedule a weaker power 5 team. Those teams don't want to do a 1 off and Michigan doesn't want a home and home. The 2 for 1 doesn't seem common anymore for some reason.
