interesting. With the BE going to 12 teams for at least the next 2 seasons, that leaves us with 4 OOC opponents. I already saw that next year our OOC schedule is full. When Navy and the 14th team is added, I wonder if we are going to keep 8 conference games or go to 9?

Michigan would destroy us with Skip as our Skipper... we should try to get Eastern Michigan and hope that we can beat them by a field goal

Did you feel the same way going into Notre Dame last year? Against a coach that beat the piss out of USF in the Big East?

Saw a tweet that Michigan will have 3 open dates (2015-2017). We should offer to go there twice for them to come here once.

Also, Michigan-ND is not a long standing rivlary. They've only played 39 times.

Next season our schedule is full up... best they could do is move back a scheduled game... if not then they could start scheduling new schools in 2014 which currently only has one OOC opponent on the schedule.

2013 Season

OOC Opponents:

1. 8/31 - McNeese State
   
2. 9/07 - @ Michigan State
   
3. 9/14 - FAU
   
4. 11/30 - Miami

I already mentioned that Michigan does not have open dates from the ND series until 2015.

Look for Miami to buy out of that game!

Notre Dame just sacked their series because of their new ACC affiliation.

The NCAA and the conference commissioners are such a bunch of liars and ********. They claim they don't want a full tournament format for the post season because they don't want to destroy traditional rivalries and bowl affiliations, yet with all the conference realignment a lot of major, long standing rivalries have already been thrown out.I

I have no problem with any of the traditional rivalries going away, but I can't stand when the NCAA and the conferences try to make it look like they are trying to preserve tradition.

I guess instead of playing Michigan, they want to be sure their schedule is open to play traditional heavyweights from the ACC like Duke, Wake Forest, UVA, and UNC. Edited September 25, 2012 by Mission9

I would love that..... It's on my short list of places to see a game.....

It's amazing. The whole atmosphere of the campus on game day is the best I've been to.

Ending the Mich-ND rivalry? really? wtf?

Something had to give with the ACC deal .... ND needs to change their gold to yellow.
