    • AA .. I think you'll find that most Michigan fans consider the Irish to be at almost the same hate level as that team in Columbus.

      MSU is in another category.

      • Well, we share that sentiment.

        • Context:

          Three years before he died, Bo Schembechler said that if he was still athletic director, he wouldn't schedule the Irish even "if they got down on their hands and knees and begged....To hell with Notre Dame."

          • Nice...but what was the genesis of the vitriol?

            • I don't know if it's the only thing, but in 1999 ND scheduled a Kickoff Classic type game in violation of a "handshake agreement" between the schools that they would open the season against each other.

              • Notre Dame always wanted a "warm up" game before playing Michigan. Bo says that there was a handshake agreement between the two schools stating that they would schedule the game as the first game of the season for both teams.

                There were a couple times when ND had a warmup game, and Michigan did not. It showed on the field.

                • I'm pretty sure they did that while Bo was coaching too. I remember him being incensed about it.

                  • Beat me to it, Liney. You just can't trust ND.

                    • That's one of many reasons why I can't understand the continued catering to the whims of ND. The restoring of the series is all on their terms.

                      • I have never understood it either. It makes sense in a world without revenue sharing, but if you are Michigan, you only get to keep one fourteenth of that wonderul TV money.

                        • Same here. I would have told them to blow it out their ass. OTOH, we get to beat ND two more times.

                          • Schedule a warm-up game before you face them.

                              That's ultimately what we are probably going to do from now on. Or, at least, just schedule them as Game 2, 3, or 4, which is what we had done since 2002.

                              • In '89 I remember ND scheduled a game before us that really pissed Bo off.
