Another trip to the Big House - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I personally hope this happens, because I didn't go last time and I can't think of a college stadium that I would like to see a game in more than the Big House in Michigan.

Plus, a home and home in basketball after Michigan has Beilin (sp) for a few years and the Utes (hopefully) still have Boylan. Sounds like a good deal to me!

I know some are let down by the fact that Michigan won't come to SLC, but I'd rather play one and done at Michigan than get a home and home in football vs. Indiana or Northwestern.

When you are not in a BCS conference, you have to take the good with the bad. It is nice to see Michigan added to the schedule. The Utes have beefed up their schedule over the years and that makes Utah tougher and it is good for recruiting.

though Michigan has been down in Hoops, I like getting the matchup. I hope it all works out.

Hey it works great for me. Last time I had 50 yard line tickets 6th row. Plus the bball will be fun for me to go to as well

I'm not a Ute fan, but I'd consider going to this game for the experience. How does the U handle away game tickets? Do you have to be a member of the Crimson Club?

Actually I think that might be perfect timing for Utah to sneak out of the Big House with a win.

They'll return virtually everyone on offense and mostly on defense next season,,,,while after this year Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Mario Manningham and a few others will be gone from Michigan.
