Clearly bprtbone and sports4545 need to duke it out. Nah, sports4545 just needs to find a hobby. Preferably one not around other humans. |

Pretty standard non-con schedule for Blue this year, two weekends of light competition followed by a trip to UNC and Duke. I love the Mississippi State matchup; I jumped on the MSU bandwagon last fall and look forward to seeing Julie Darty Dennis in A2. Go Blue!

I love the Mississippi State matchup; I jumped on the MSU bandwagon last fall and look forward to seeing Julie Darty Dennis in A2. Go Blue! I consider myself pretty up-to-date on college athletics... I don't know that I've ever heard of Utah Tech. Morehead State - Loyola - Mississippi State - Bowling Green are all good non-con games. Glad I got my season ticket! |

I had the same reaction. They just switched over from "Dixie State"

Coach Rosen hinting that the B1G schedule will be out in a few weeks too. Forgot that the ACC/Big Ten Challenge was a four-year deal. Mark makes it seem like it is set that our opponents will be Duke and North Carolina throughout the contract. |

Mark makes it seem like it is set that our opponents will be Duke and North Carolina throughout the contract. It is....UNC/Duke travelled to Michigan last year. This year it is in Chapel Hill. UNC and UM will highlight that weekend.....then next year it is at MSU. Last year of agreement will be at Duke. |

I know last year got a bit wonky because of MSU getting Covid, but aren't the teams just playing at each place? They were supposed to play at MSU last year too but ended up playing the rare non-conference Duke/UNC game at U-M. The Michigan website currently has them playing in Durham on Friday and Chapel Hill on Saturday. Either way, last year's matches were fun and I'd expect this year's to be enjoyable as well. |

AHHHH my apology. Prior to COVID, this was in place to be played at one site each year. Before, it was all 4 teams at one place. I forgot after COVID they amended the challenge to be at each school's site due to varying COVID policy. I figured we would return to that mode but I guess not. |

I'm going to put the team's ceiling at 5th, albeit my hopes for that would require a significant improvement in defense and some surprise down seasons from a couple of teams above. Are there any stud DS's out there still seeking a home? |

Are there any stud DS's out there still seeking a home? Outdueling all three of Illinois, Purdue and Penn State seems like a tall order for them, although technically not impossible.
Seems like their program has reached a certain level of stagnation for various reasons.
I think my absolute, pie-in-the-sky ceiling is 5th (behind Neb, Wis, Minn, OSU) but more realistically think we're probably sitting 7th. Not sure what the graduation losses / new coaches will mean for some others. UM needs S to take a step up, solve the revolving door of DS, and figure out who is OH2. No easy task. |
