Huge 2010 scheduling news!

There's a blogger I know, huge Michigan fan, that seems to know everything long before it's ever released, and he's always accurate - a post by him is as good as an athletic department press release.

So here's what I read yesterday - so Michigan's athletic department is well aware that they still owe us a game from 2005, and their AD had decided to, over the next several years, complete all owed contracts. So ... Michigan was set to play Central Michigan next year. Also, we are set for a home and home with Maryland, 2010 and 2011. Greg Christopher managed to get Michigan to host us, upholding their end of the deal, buy out the Central Michigan deal, and pay the extra amount required to Maryland to push the home and home back to 2011 and 2012. It sounds like GC used the whole "you've owed us this for five years now so you owe us extra good treatment" argument. So ... in 2010 ...

WE ARE PLAYING MICHIGAN!!

Here's the link to the blog post

The MAC has already intervened in anticipation of this because Miami is also owed a game by Michigan, who in turn has agreed to break their contract with Western for a home game in favor of Miami. That will mean BG loses the UM game, Western will pick up the Boise game from BG and BG will host itself in a neutral site game in Lafayette, Louisiana on September 12, 2010.

Does anyone else think it's funny that in order to make up for all these broken contracts, Michigan is breaking even more contracts?

You got me on that one. I actually thought for a second that a Big 10 team would consider honoring its contracts with small conference schools

Ok, here's the real question...what the eff is wrong with Rick Astley? If you love eighties New Wave music, this and his other song are essentials...they are on my iPod, I'm not kidding. His dancing may suck but these songs rock!***
