Has it really been five freakin’ years since we played Michigan?
Yes. Yes, it has.
It’s quirks like this and the fact the Huskers Big 10 East rotation revolves between brutal (play Ohio St., Michigan, Michigan St. and Penn St. in the same season) and blech (“No one wants my Rutgers/Indiana/Maryland tickets”) that make wonder if pulling the names out of damn hat would give the appearence of more logic.
Whatever the reason, our two iconic programs finally meet again and now with their alumnus/native son and dream hires at their respective helms. The Big House will be packed with Michigan faithful and Husker road trippers who will make the stadium a little more red than expected as always.
