Your 2018-2019 Conference Schedules
Via Adam Jacobi, nice table from Kilgore Trout:
Crossovers: Nebraska, @ Northwestern, Wisconsin. Yeesh.
Crossovers: @ Wisconsin, Iowa, @ Illinois.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
not so good.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
October 16th, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
October 16th, 2013 at 7:30 PM ^
Our schedule is lopsided and aesthetically unpleasant.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Penn State coming to town.
The problem is you have Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Penn State coming to town.
Everyone who likes to plan early can probably make reservations for Nebraska Under the Lights.

We actually might be better off playing Ohio and Sparty at home every other year. Unless you're Alabama, it's unrealistic to expect to win conference and national championships every year. This way, the team sets up nicely to make a strong push for those titles every other year with both of these games at home.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
BRILLIANT!
October 16th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
@ Wisc, bye, Iowa/@ Ill
Division slate: @ PSU, RUTGERS, @Maryland, BYE, vs MICHIGAN STATE, @ Indiana, vs OHIO STATE
October 16th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
October 16th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
Wow, 2018 looks brutal with Maryland as the only easy win and MSU and OSU on the road. Hopefully we can run the football by then.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
huh? We are going to be ManballAlabamaOfTheNorth by then as the prophecies have told us. The 2018 seasion will be coming off a national championship season (maybe back to back) and all, so sure there will be losses of players but the five consecutive top 5 recroooting classes should take care of it.
Seriously though - it's the big friggin 10. Wiscy, NW, OSU and MSU ... or LSU, Bama, UF, and Georgia? Which is preferable? Look OSU has the same classes we do - they are not making excuses and winning, even if sometimes close. If we are not doing this by 2015-2016 a regime change is once again going to be in order. Worrying about a Big 10 slate should not be causing major angst by that period; if it is, we are just a Big 10 also ran with a big name, along the likes of PSU.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
How can we possibly know if any of those teams will be good/bad 5 YEARS from now??
October 16th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
No way to know who is going to be good then.
Hell, Ohio could be hurting from a scandal where their players get free tattoos and make money off their signatures, bowl game memorabilia, and other team gear while their coach tries to cover it up so that they can be full strength going into a BCS Bowl Game. I know that sounds real farfetched but you never know... it could happen.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:55 PM ^
Of course we don't know, but as it stands now we draw the top 3 teams from the West division (Nebraska, Wisconsin, Northwestern) that year.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
9 games for 2018?
October 16th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
Big Ten, Dude. three non-comference games TBD.
October 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
I'm saying I thought it was strange we have 9 conference games.
October 17th, 2013 at 3:39 PM ^
nine conference games for everyone.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Weird to see UM playing Rutgers, Nebraska, Maryland in football. It's like one of those ridiculous non-conference schedules from NCAA football 2004.
I wish Michigan would schedule a September home-home vs. Montana, for a more beautiful change up of scenery.
October 17th, 2013 at 11:34 AM ^
October 16th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
Dang, Shane Morris won't even be around for these years.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Perfect timing for Chip Kelly to arrive and right the ship with Rich Rod as his o-coordinator and because we are so bad ass we wont even employ a d-coordinator at all.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
I will reply to my own comment. Defense will be flag football by then.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
Pretty good for a Wednesday.
RichRod is busy. But I'm sure Stan Parrish will be available to coach the offense though.
Commence with the collective "Eeeee OMG YES! That's so awesome! And Parrish coached Tom Brady!"

October 16th, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
Sorry. At work and only have iPhone app.
October 16th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
October 16th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
It has a working link to the Big Ten composite schedule.
October 16th, 2013 at 1:05 PM ^
I believe we have Cincinnati scheduled for 2017. Florida, not so much.
October 16th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
Penn State has a "vs. LSU" in 2020, I assume it's the same thing, though nothing has been announced.
October 16th, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
I'm looking forward to the early season games vs Wisconsin and Illinois. As I live in the Chicago burbs, I'm only about two hours or so from either campus, so it'll be nice to go to a road game early in the year while it's still warm out. I've been to U of I for a game before, but never Camp Randall, so I'm excited. Yes I know we play Wisconsin on the road sooner than 2019 but it is in November and I prefer to watch those games indoors. Same for 2018 at Northwestern, I'll be at that game for sure too.
October 16th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
Words cannot describe how much I hate the fact that not only are we going to be in the same conference as Maryland and Rutgers, but the same division as well.

*Jim Delany wipes his ass with a $100 bill and throws it at FrankMurphy*
October 16th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
Hundred Dollar bills? I'm sure Delany has asked for larger denominations by now
October 16th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^

October 16th, 2013 at 4:09 PM ^
And you decide THIS week is the one to make your return?!? Thanks.
October 16th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
October 16th, 2013 at 4:29 PM ^
Why would I have posted in 2011 or 2012 when Penn State didn't play Michigan?
October 16th, 2013 at 4:31 PM ^
But fair point.
October 17th, 2013 at 3:37 PM ^
So I didn't get a chance to post before the game.
I worked all day Saturday and didn't even start watching the game until about 10 PM. (Thank you, TiVo!)
October 17th, 2013 at 4:54 PM ^
It probably would have been better to watch it, then go to work, then come back for the end.
For you, anyway.
