What happened to the two HUGE home-and-home series??
It was announced last week that Michigan would be announcing two "HUGE" home-and-home series by the end of last week and that never happened. I am assuming that Notre Dame was one of the teams and the academic scandal that hit them delayed the announcement.. Just a hunch. Does anybody have an idea what is going on here?

getting to point where, barring some pretty substantial changes to my lifestyle, I will probably be dead when the games being announced right now will be played. I will at least be old and nasty, so it is hard for me to pumped about a game that is going to be played 20 years from now.

for Iowa State and Vanderbilt.

that DB is waiting on the other ADs to make the announcement at the same time? If so then it is DB undoubtedly that is holding up the annoucement.

I think they counted last Saturday night twice.

Watch as the rolling waters make passes destined for our slot become passes intended for Tacopants.

Someone told me it was Stanford and Texas but that obviously was BS. If it happens that would be awesome.

I heard multiple rumbings of Stanford being one of the two HUGE scheduling announcements. I wouldn't mind seeing us play a team that does what we want to do.

I suspect they're either coordinating the announcement timing with the other two schools or there may be some last minute contract details which need to be ironed out.
It'll be interesing to see if these games are gong to take place in the four open years from next decade (2024, 2027 thru 2029) or will be part of a second home-and-home non-conference series in as early as the 2018/9 time frame when Michigan plays Arkansas in Ann Arbor and Fayetteville.

Brandon is still trying to figure out how they fit into the 'process'. Once the series are 'processed' Dave can make the announcement about how well he 'processes'.

Why steal any of the "spotlight" from Fuck ND? Let them marinate in their smug shit storm. It helps us.

the report itself came from like a CBS Detroit ports affiliate radio station.. and Michigan never confirmed it. Here's what the guy from Maize n Brew said on it:
"I reached out to a Michigan spokesperson to try and get this report confirmed, he said that there are no plans for any announcements at this time.
So, take that for what it’s worth."
August 18th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
So in other words, it was all just an idiot rumor started by the CBS affiliate.
August 18th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
Maybe DB got confused with the movie night. He was planning games with Cloud Cookoo Land and Bricksburgh.

Brandon scheduled home and homes against Man United and Real Madrid. Imagine his embarassment when the whole "football" translation thing came to light.

Brandon announces Michigan will play Michigan state in Arkansas and will also play Purdue in Calgary, Canada.

But you never know with DB

Mattison and Strong were co-defensive coordinators together at Florida.
August 18th, 2014 at 8:24 PM ^
I don't think it was ever Notre Dame. I'd like to play a Big 12 team.
August 18th, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^
I'd like to play Nebraska more than every 29 years.
August 18th, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
I heard the big home and homes were for Nebraska and Wisconsin......
