nd is dropping michigan and won't play Bama because that don't have open dates?. don't tell me how tough nd's schedule is. they are making it softer to hold on to that nbc tv contract. this program has become a first class joke !

To be fair, as much as I hate to addmit it partially UM's fault too. ND won't concede because they want USC and UM at home in different years too. It's only going to be a 2 yr hiatus and ND did replace UM with a home and home with Oklahoma. UM is working on a deal with Georgia...no doubt because of the recent success they have had recruiting the Peach State.

The problem with finding a year to resume the series is a bit more complicated because Michigan would like Notre Dame and Ohio State to play in Ann Arbor on opposite years to boost the home schedule.

I'm sure the community of South Bend is going to love this.

I am also 100% sure that Notre Dame will beat Michigan at the Big House this year. It will be very similiar game to that ND Michigan game at the Big House two years ago. ND will not be a big passing team this year, and it looks like their QB will be Demetrius Jones, who is very mobile and fast. These are the type of QBs that give Michigan fits. ND will play solid defense, throw some short passes, and run the ball down Michigans throats.

ND 13
Michigan 10

BOOK IT!

Didnt you post (last year) how ND was going to DESTROY Georgia Tech ?

Must be football season allready for the ND fans to start talking smack !
