If this happens I don't see you on our schedule until 2013

I really hope this happens or turns into what the ACC and SEC have now.

In Dallas?

I don't understand... By 2012, Nebraska will be a conference opponent.

[VA Husker Fan]

I guess he thinks that the Big 10 wouldn't give them a tougher conference schedule with tough non-conference games. I suppose there could be a one time consideration for this as Nebraska enters the conference but I doubt it.

 

What is it that the ACC and SEC have now? I don't get that either.

[MGoBlue]

I doubt the B10 will give us a year of Nebraska (assuming they'll be in another division than us), osu, Penn St., and Alabama all in one year. All that with the possibility of getting Wisconsin or Iowa as well, schedule of death. So I see osu getting first crack at Nebraska, 2011/2012, and then another non 800 win team.

I see what you're saying, but I think it will depend more on how Nebraska performs this season than anything. I notice you didn't mention Notre Dame, a school that you play which is traditionally powerful team that has been currently irrelevant.

[MGoBlue]

well so are we, but there's no need to point that out. But who knows, Kelly may have them 'back' by then.

Hopefully Kelly does better at Notre Dame than the last Big East Coach that went to "greener pasture". I see that he's going to be questioned about NCAA violations that occurred when he was at West Virginia. I wonder if Michigan will be as fast to defend him now that it seems like more than a one time incident.

[MGoBlue]

Actually, it's proving to be more of an issue with the compliance dept. not notifying him of issues.

Why would two big name schools agree to play in a state that has no connection to either team. If I was a fan of either school I would be upset that I didn't get a chance to see (Alabama or Michigan)in our home stadium and miss out on the fun and pageantry (Can't believe I used that word )

 

Unless it's a kickoff game I don't see any reason to agreeing with Jerry world.

Recruiting.

[MGoBlue]

I half way understand the reasoning behind the game being held at JerryWorld; a) will the Big10 move to a nine game conf schedule past 2012?, B) we still have 20 year home and home with ND, so we’d lose out on gate money, and c) we have an open date between our 2010 game with UConn and our 2013 return trip to them.

[Foppa]

Who will be MU's coach by then? Mark Mangino? Lee Corso? Shawn Fanning? Strawberry Shortcake?

Ummmm, most bowl games?

I'd be fine with BK throwing the first UM game if it will save RR's job for a little while longer.
