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."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

Well, we share that sentiment."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

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."I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

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.Comment

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."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

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

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

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."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment
-
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.Comment
-
Same here. I would have told them to blow it out their ass. OTOH, we get to beat ND two more times.Comment

Schedule a warm-up game before you face them."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

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.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View PostComment

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