This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

To utterly screw Michigan over, that's why. by domer4

They have said repeatedly and ad nauseam that ND must play them in September, during their "non-conference" schedule, so as to not distract from their real task of winning the Big Ten.

So, when they wanted back on the schedule, Jack first required them to go back to back home games at ND, they play us outside their usual September time frame.

This is the latest they will have played a non-conference game since at least 1950 - except for Ball State (11/4/06). Up until the early 1980s, they played one in early October only because the schedule started later in September.


This is also the earliest we have played USC since 1963.

The game against USC probably should have been played October 19 - but somehow we managed to move that bye week to before Michigan and not USC.

Say what you want about Jack...

But making them play in late October, creating a bye week after USC, plus cancelling the contract on the field before the 2012 game giving us an extra home game, announcing two future Ohio State games in early September 2014 - a few days before the scheduled last ND/Michigan game then....

This guy does know how to screw those b**tards from A2 repeatedly - which is exactly what they deserve always.
