We are getting trolled......HARD
September 19th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
Good thing I won't be too invested in this season... gonna be tough.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
Our 2 crossovers are the best in the West. Of course
September 19th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
Ohio State will get Northwestern as their other crossover.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
Sheesh.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
We are getting totally and completely screwed!!!! You could not make a harder schedule for any team.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
I’m not one to believe in sports conspiracies but this schedule feels like it was designed to make us lose as many games as possible. We honestly might only win 4 games this year

September 19th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
This feels like punishment but if we survive the first 4, we will finish strong for once
September 19th, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
Still have PSU and OSU somewhere on the schedule.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:34 AM ^
No shot, unless by "survive," you mean 2-2...in a 9 game season, you're done at that point.
We'll get Penn State at home and Ohio State on the road.
If we go 6-3 with a 1st year QB...that would be a surprise.
5.5 wins is the line for this regular season.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
Do people even try or is this going to be all about getting OSU a national championship and getting more money to the league?
September 19th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
Please stop creating individual threads for each week.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
They are announcing the weeks individually so each thread contains new information that wasn't available at the time the last one was posted
September 19th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
Respectfully...no, thank you.
1. It doesn't matter, it's not like this board is full of content right now. There are no Michigan sports (not even pro, other than the Tigers) and we haven't gotten a recruiting '21 commit in FB or MBB in a week.
2. It's finally football and something Michigan football related.
3. They're going week-by-week and it's not coming out in one segment or block.
4. While you don't like it, I do like reading everyone's individual takes on each game rather than discussing the season as a whole.
5. It's 8 threads...no big deal.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:39 AM ^
I think you know the answer to that.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
It makes ZERO sense. The SEC made sure their best teams played the weakest teams in their crossover matchups. The B1G instead gives Michigan the hardest possible schedule.
September 19th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
News flash: We’re not a best team.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
My guess is last 4 will be Rutgers, Maryland, PSU, and OSU. Make us finish with a 2 game meat grinder
September 19th, 2020 at 10:36 AM ^
The statistical likelihood of pulling Wisco AND Minnesota is so low. We are getting fucked over
September 19th, 2020 at 10:46 AM ^
Did they announce somewhere that they were pulling the crossover games from somewhere? To me, it just appears they are picking 2 of the original crossover games that were previously scheduled from the initial 2020 schedule.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:36 AM ^
I am not sure why everyone is surprised. Big Ten always screws over Michigan. Interesting how at the end of last season the rumor all week was that Michigan was playing in the Holiday Bowl and then Delany screwed Michigan with the matchup against Bama. Restarting the season is only about getting OSU in the playoffs.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
Steel sharpens steel.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:59 AM ^
Iron sharpens iron

This is a toss up game for me. Wisconsin lost Taylor who was one of the best backs they’ve ever had. Wisconsin always has good backs, But they won’t have a guy as good as Taylor this year. And Michigan will have a veteran defensive line at this point. I’ve got this as the closest game so far on the schedule. With Michigan winning by 3.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:48 AM ^
Does someone have the original 2020 Big Ten schedule somewhere? To me, it just appears they are pulling 2 of the original 3 crossover games from the original schedule and calling it good (I believe Minny and Wiscy were on our original schedule).
September 19th, 2020 at 11:29 AM ^
They were. Michigan is getting the two teams they were going to be playing anyway. So this really isn’t worth getting that upset over.
September 19th, 2020 at 10:58 AM ^
Tough schedule, but michigan's home slate is pretty stellar.
Buck up everyone! Ohio State is on a beeline to the playoff no matter how easy or tough their schedule is. Michigan on the other hand has a consistent draw of competitive matchups compared to OSU's five week string of bodybag games. I'm looking forward to it.
September 19th, 2020 at 11:27 AM ^
I guess I’m not all that upset about this. Michigan was going to play Wisconsin and Minnesota this year anyway. I don’t know who OSU were supposed to play originally, but is it possible the conference just pulled the original crossovers and just said “we’re going with this” for the sake of simplicity?”
In any case, I’m pretty sure that after this Wisconsin is off the schedule for at least a few years.

Beer with a Wisky chase 'em.
