Michigan backs out on UCLA

[Wild Turkey]

I know, and you are right. I haven't heard we are going back to Notre Dame in those years, it's just someone speculation. I rather have Notre Dame on my Resume than UCLA ... just saying.

Reading your post is like witnessing battered women syndrome.

oh absolutely. no matter how deflating it gets, I still want to get an opportunity every year to knock them off. I don't want us to stop playing MSU, ND or even Minnesota (pretty disappointing we no longer play annually)

Nebraska is your next protected rivalry game starting in 2022. We get Minnesota next.

Canceled the games for 2022 and 2023 because they would only have six home games in 2023. Replaced it with home games against ECU and Hawaii.

As of now they have no P5 OOC opponents either year.

Pullin the ole SEC trick

How does this fit in with their needing to buyout of Harbaughs contract?

Extra home game so they don’t have to pay for flights? But, I mean, 2021 is the last year of his contract so...

Solid trade-off for Michigan. I bet Alabama wishes they could dump Arkansas for Notre Dame!

Just had a terrible thought with UCLA playing Arkansas this year! Two historically good programs having awful seasons.

But he needs to be gone like yesterday. Dude is living large off of Andrew Luck (even that he screwed Stanford on) and 1 1/8 seasons of the NFL not knowing how to handle Kaepernick. Outside of that he is always someone who can’t win a big game or beat a team that equivalent or better talent throughout his coaching career.

Harbaugh has won nothing of significance at Michigan, but he has quite a resume in the NFL. Three NFC championship games, and one Super Bowl game. On top of that, he has nearly a .700 winning percentage in just four full seasons. That's pretty impressive, and I imagine most NFL teams would hire him immediately if he were interested.
