Michigan made it through its non-conference schedule by
winning three tune-ups, each a bit more challenging than the
last. Now comes the Big Ten season, and the fourth-ranked
Wolverines have their best chance for a conference title in years.
The first test is Saturday at Michigan Stadium against a Penn
State team that comes in as another double-digit underdog.

Michigan hopes will be a Big Ten title run.

The Wolverines again have more talent
than Penn State on both sides of the ball.
Hawaii (Sept. 3): Alohahahahaha.
Central Florida (Sept. 10): Is that what it looks
like to get outhit?
Illinois (Oct. 22): No matter what happens
on the field, both teams will (hopefully) take
Champaign showers.
Michigan State (Oct. 29): It’s setting up to be
the most exciting Michigan-Michigan State
game in years.
Maryland (Nov. 5): Congratulations, DJ Khaled
Durkin, you played yourself.
Colorado (Sept. 17): Colorado figured scoring
28 would be plenty.
Iowa (Nov. 12): With a win, Kirk Ferentz receives
ANOTHER contract extension with a special
clause that names him lifetime governor of Iowa.
Penn State (Sept. 24): Michigan deserves a real
opponent — Pittsburgh.
Wisconsin (Oct. 1): We were going to try and be
funny, but the dumplings in Madison are no joke.
Rutgers (Oct. 8): The Ahmir Mitchell Bowl.
Ohio State (Nov. 26): Who schedules a game
two days after Thanksgiving? No one’s gonna go
to that.
Indiana (Nov. 19): We’re here for the chaos.
We’re always here for the chaos.
