    To tell you the truth I'm shocked to my core. I really thought that once the current deal ran out that UM would decide they didn't need ND anymore. Lord knows there has been a lot of negative stuff from AA over the years indicating that it might not be in the best interest of Michigan to play ND anymore. It flared up back in Bob Davies day when we played Kansas before the Michigan game, that really ticked them off and they tried to make up some bogus gentlemans agreement that we'd agreed that it would be the first game of the season. Then there were times that Bo and Lloyd said that Michigan need to reorganize it's schedule and that playing ND wasn't in their best interest due to their difficult B10 schedule.

    Oh well all is forgiven I'm glad they'll be on the schedule for the rest of my life!! :)

    You gotta wonder whether in one of the athletic departments the cronies were arguing over which school they should sign to a long-term deal when one of them said, "Hell, let's just give it to the coach with the biggest tits."

    Wow, I hope the nursing home I end up at has wifi access so that I can keep in touch with my Irish buddies....

    BDR, you are just too damn funny.

    Kudos to both AD's and administrations....there are no richer traditions in the game. I always look forward to this match-up. It's great for college football.

    A good move by both schools. I look forward to that game also except that many times I'm at a Gator Game and don't get to see the game.

    :lol: What a relief...I'm good to a hundred and two! My HD kept having audio problems (didn't affect the surround) so Best Buy said they would replace it. Went down to the store and found the new models much superior color, etc. Decided to upgrade to a 65" Mitsubishi. Guy explained that they had added two more colors to the color wheel bisides the usual red, green, and blue. Magenta and another I can't recall. Anyway it is fantastic. Not good for the local news types. Can see every wrinkle and pimple. Put in the last two minutes of the UCLA game...those guys are right in the living room.

    Hey Vic, don't you wish that they had HD TV when we had HD eyes?

    Gip, as Bill Buckley answered when asked how he was doing. "Decomposing." However, have to say that my corrected vision is excellent. I can see where I am going. It is just that I forget what I am supposed to do when I get there.
