It's an honor and challenge for Nebraska competing with UM in the same division

I'm glad we'll be playing you guys every year, should be exciting. 

But we do frown upon illegal kicks, FYI. 

I definitely look forward to playing the Huskers on a regular basis.  The ingredients are there for a strong new rivalry.  I just didn't want it to happen at the end of the regular season and displace OSU.

hey thanks dude! rock on

I'm excited about a growing rivalry with Nebraska. It's going to be fun. 

And also very glad we have you at home next year. Being my senior year in 2011, I'm glad I get a shot to make the first conference Michigan-Nebraska game without breaking the bank for a road trip.

The Michigan/Nebraska match up is going to be legen...wait for it...dary!

...Michigan now has four legitimate rivalry games on its schedule.  And, make no mistake about it, Michigan/Nebraska is a natural "instant rivalry game." 

Michigan's schedule is now as tough as that of anyone in the country, including the SEC.

you guys (Nebraska) have a really REALLY difficult schedule next year.

UW, OSU, Iowa at home.  @ Wisc, @PSU, @ Michigan

MSU and Northwestern won't be push overs either.

There was just something about being locked in a division with Penn State that made me think, "10x12 foot jail cell with very large sex offender."

I hope this doesn't hurt our Pennsylvania recruiting -- and I hope it helps us recruit in Big 12 country.

PITCH THE FUCKING BALL!

At least until the BCS Championship Game in Phoenix when the rivalry really starts!

Welcoming the new rivalry, but good luck with your first 2 years.  BRUTAL SCHEDULE for huskers

You're already in! They're not going to kick you out now.

Seriously, I am looking forward to the first conference season with Nebraska. At the rate we're going I think we'll be playing converted defensive tackles in the secondary, though.

which I respect. I think it was a realshame to see that rivalry fade away.  Most of that hatred had a lot to do with Barry Switzer.  

But something tells me the Michigan-Nebraska series is going to be very interesting over the next several years.  It's a great matchup of traditional powers.  I just wish there would have been more matchups between the two in the 1970s and 1980s, when both teams were operating at full life force.

$10 says that UM-Nebraska becomes a big rivalry game by 2015.

a trip to Lincoln someday.

What can I say, I think you'll enjoy some of those  Big 10 road trips.  Camp Randall, Beaver Stadium, Michigan Stadium, Ohio Stadium.  Four of college football's toughest and best environments.

Michigan will play Nebraska at home then the following weekend play Ohio State at home? I will have to take a weeks vacation to Ann Arbor. That is sweet.

I already like Nebraska better than OSU.

Someone refresh my memory, didn't M play NU twice in bowl games, with a 1-1 record? I remember they were really fun games to watch, hopefully that tradition continues, then it will be an instant rivalry game. Lived in Colorado and NU was always much hated by CU fans, but you can't argue with the class that program has had over the years...

I asked him if he seen the schedule because I thought their schedule looks brutal.

His response "What are you talking about....They look great...Actually, I am pretty sure there is some kind of a "Welcome to the Party" going on there. We will be well served to go 6-2 in conference next year. 5-3 may be on the table as well, as every team will be gunning for us as the reigning National Champions. The good news is that you will have a new coach by this time next year."

I hope all husker fans get a reality check and find out that the Big 10 is much tougher than they imagine.
