Michigan Announces Home & Home Series With Washington In 2020, 2021

As previously announced by Detroit sports talk radio station 97.1 The Ticket, the Michigan Wolverines promised to reveal two "huge" home & home series for the 2020 and 2021 football seasons by the end of this week.

One of those names has just been revealed, as per MGoBlue.com, "the University of Michigan and University of Washington will renew an old rivalry when the two football programs meet for a home-and-home series during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. This will be the 13th and 14th meetings between the two schools."

The Wolverines will travel to Husky Stadium in Seattle for a matchup on Sept. 5th, 2020 with the Huskies repaying the favor with a trip to Ann Arbor for a game on Sept. 18th, 2021.

"We are excited to rekindle a rivalry that has showcased some great games and great teams for both programs," said Michigan head coach Brady Hoke, via MGoBlue.com. "There have been some exciting, down-to-the-wire football games between Michigan and Washington and we anticipate the same type of contests when this series is played at the outset of the next decade."

This marks the fifth time the two programs have met in a home & home, with Michigan holding a 7-5 advantage over Washington in the teams' first 12 meetings.

Per a previous report by our very own Jake Foster, Chat Sports has been receiving indications that the second "huge" home & home series will be with the University of Texas. The two programs have faced off just once in the history of both legendary programs - the instant-classic 2005 Rose Bowl where the Wolverines came up just short against Vince Young and the Longhorns, 38-37.

Chat Sports will have more on this developing story as additional information is made available.
