Fwiw, I'm pretty sure that it was Michigan who backed out and not MSU.

I think State had an actually scheduled, agreed-to game with Hawaii that Sparty backed out of.

FWIW, as I remember it, in the offseason after 2005, when Hawaii's AD was looking to fill a spot on the schedule left vacated by State, they called Michigan. Martin refused the game, because I think Hawaii offered a 2-1 series (2 games in Ann Arbor, 1 in Hawaii).

So yeah, I don't think we ever agreed to play them. Instead of scheduling Hawaii, Michigan instead struck a deal with App State, who didn't ask us to go there. WTG Bill Martin!
