if we're really paying $2M to drop Arkansas just to play ND sooner... ****. that's stupid.

Not in favor of that at all.

**** ND. I'd rather play the SEC team & help kill that myth

 

[thewolverines24]

I'd rather play a rival than a mediocre SEC team. I'm happy to have ND back on the schedule.

41-7 didn't do that already?

Unfortunately, the 38-0 beatdown of MSU negates what UM did.

AP is reporting 2018 will be away and 2019 will be home. That gives ND an extra home game and takes one from Michigan's 2018 schedule. Also OSU, MSU, and ND ALL away in 2018? Seriously?

Why do we love butt ****ing ourselves with the schedule?

MGoBlog is saying "wait and see" ...hoping it's a mistake. It would be amazing if this were true and coupled with flipping MSU's home/away schedule with Michigan.

 

[deathroh]

No way that's true.

That would be perfect.

i want to play ND again, sure, but I'd rather play some unique opponents for a while as well. **** ND. I don't think it's worth breaking contracts to fit them in either, esp. since they backed out of the deal in the first place.

 

[thewolverines24]

"**** ND" is the reason I want them on the schedule. I want Michigan to kick their ass.

I don't see what the big deal is. Notre Dame is a second tier ACC team now. Brian Kelly is the most overrated coach in college football. They claim to have the toughest schedule every year, but in fact lately it's been loaded with garbage teams and a couple of once great but now not programs. When the play a decent team, they lose. Kelly's biggest win was in 2012 against an overrated Oklahoma team. Their schedule was a joke last year and they still lost 3 games.

I ****ing hate noter dame, its fans and all that is the irish bullshit bandwagon of half-truths and exaggeration ....

but I figured this was just a matter of time.

As for 2018, no ****ing way ...no way in hell that we play AT south bend with both the UM schedule and the ND schedule that season.

besides, we "finished" there with Brandon/Hoke ...Dame can come up to Ann Arbor to play us.

Angelique is saying that we will be playing at NDSucks in 2018. What a load of horseshit.

They bolted because of Brandon's agreeing to a stupid exit clause that ND leveraged because he wanted to drop ND.

 

[biggunsbob]

It is stupid that we catered to ND and no way should we waste money to cancel the Arkansas game. Just poor business in my opinion.
