A lot of good opening day games. I really like how they have them spread out from Thurs. to Mon.

Why is Michigan St playing a road game at Western Michigan?

Why is Michigan St playing a road game at Western Michigan?

My girlfriend (she's from Michigan and is a Sparty fan) thinks they have some contract with all the directional schools in the state to play away games every once in a while

It's good to visit the little people once in a while.

Better than the usual slate of games.

The matchups for Iowa, Indiana, Maryland and Rutgers suck but the rest are intriguing in some way. Even Illinois because of their fired coach and Turdue because Marshall has a pretty good squad.

Very much agree, I thought it was bad PR how the Big scheduled opening week last few years. This is the time to get attention from the casual fans before NFL starts also other conferences since games are spread out this weekend. Last year you had the SEC leading off with in a packed house with SCar vs A&M while the Big showcased Minn vs a directional school in front of a half empty Minn stadium. Anyway much improved this year but the B1G got their work cut out for them. They need to win 2 or 3 of the games they are underdogs in.

Don't agree with Michigan. Utah is gunna stomp a mud hole in them.

Yeah, I was a little iffy on that one, being an away game and all.

I gotta think the Vulvarines will really want to win Harblah's first game as HC though
