In fact, they only have four road games scheduled

one of the most annoying things about college football, the top teams are all pussies and play unbalanced Home/Away schedules

I get tired of this. It's really more about money than anything else. Football funds all the other sports (and administrators' salaries), and they get, I dunno, several million per home game in tickets and such. Sure, you want home games against patsies so you can coast, but really they need the cash. Further, this extends to most lower-tier teams. This is why Michigan is playing App State: late change in the schedule (no more Vandy) and no one else wants to go to Ann Arbor because even the mediocre DI major teams (Minnesota, for ex, although since they're in the B10 they don't count for this) are also looking to maximize home games for revenue.

Also, while I love talking about all things Michigan, did we need a new thread for this? At the very least, just make it the official Michigan Wolverines 2007 thread or something.
