Welcome to the Big House, Falcons....

One of the first ramifications of our financial problems is that we are back to taking guarantee games. We don't have any this year, but on September 25 next year the orange and brown will take the field in Ann Arbor's Big House. This is a nice game for our team. It is right up the road, and it has to be a big thrill for our players to take the field in one of college football's premier venues. Having said that, I thought it was a good thing that we were moving away from guarantee games, and that would have been preferable.

But if we have to play a guarantee game, then OSU-UM-MSU and other schools in this region are preferable to going to Washington, Oklahoma, Florida, etc.

Update: Well, according to this, fans in Michigan are not excited about the idea of playing BGSU (Keyword nummy num, and make sure you read the comments.) This was, of course, the same reaction they had to playing Appalachian State and Toledo.
