Default Re: UM football schedule

Michigan Wolverines = UM
Minnesota Golden Gophers = Minny
Memphis Tigers = Memphis
Maryland Terps = UMd
Mizzou Tigers = Mizzou
Miami Hurricanes = The U
Maine Black Bears = UMaine


So yeah, when people say UM they should be talking about University of Michigan

Yeah, Michigan is universally known as U of M. Besides, Michigan has one of the greatest football traditions in all of college football so it just makes sense who the thread is about... although it could have been clearer especially if you are not familiar with the school.

FWIW - They actually do occasionally refer to Memphis as 'U of M' in their broadcasts and so forth.
Many of the other U of M's would never refer to themselves as that imo...such as Ole Miss, probably Miami I'm guessing, not sure about Minnie.

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

Especially true in the SEC.

It's only going to get worse too. I know the ND boards are up in arms because our AD is moving to only 4 away games, and it's terrible how the quality of college football is being diluted.

MSU will not be a gimme this year. But, A new coach will only be able to accomplish so much in the cesspool of mediocrity that is Michigan State University. Dantonio's inherited some bad players, and Drew Stanton is gone. If MSU could get off to a great start and have some confidence and momentum going into the game, MSU will be a tough matchup for UM. But, MSU has a tough schedule this year, w/ ND, UW, OSU, and Iowa all on the road BEFORE the UM game.

I am not worried about MSU. At least not yet.
