Skunkbears, Notre Dame To Play For 25 More Years. I’m So Confused.
domer.mq
I don’t know who Notre Dame is using to replace REDACTED as the Athletic Director after we fired him, but this seems like a pretty good first step in the right direction for the new AD. Way to go, new guy!
The University of Notre Dame and University of Michigan athletic departments announced jointly on Monday a 20-year contract extension in the Notre Dame-Michigan football series, extending the series from 2012-31. With the current contract expiring after the 2011 season, the new contract guarantees that the two winningest football programs in NCAA Division I history will meet annually for the next 25 years.
Before I get too excited, though, I’d like to know who gets the first home game of the new agreement.
Suddenly, that 2012 schedule is looking pretty sweet. I have no love for the Skunkbears, and even less respect, but I’ve always been a sucker for fights between the forces of good and evil, even if the evil forces are just a bunch of irritating Skunkbears.
UPDATE: Now that I think on this more, 20 years is a long time. If it were I at position of AD, this would be my way of telling the big 10 to suck it. We don’t need you. We’re already guaranteed 25 more years of playing one of your 2 top tier teams. We’ll be playing Michigan long after the Big Ten and your network go kaput. That said, this may just be a way of REDACTED tying ND even closer to the Big Televen. So we’ll hold our breaths a little bit.

Probably play on a neutral site….like Rio de janiero
If this is the work of REDACTED, then I wont put it past him to have the games on the neutral site of Ford Field.
OK, so what happens now with the Oklahoma game, since that was supposed to be a replacement for UM in 2012/2013.
As long as that OU game does not happen right before or after the UM game or USC game in those years, I am all for it. It would be great to spread those games over the season.
Looks like the OU game is still on, according to knowledgeable people over at NDN.
If the skunkbears still haveir BVD’s tied up in knots about the schedule and their having to play their ONLY 2 difficult games on the road every other year, then I suggest a game be moved from ND Stadium to Soldier Field in Chicago, then the crybabys can work around ND and OSU in between their daunting schedule with such powers as App State and Indiana
