ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan and University of Washington will renew an old rivalry when the two football programs meet for a home-and-home series during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. This will be the 13th and 14th meetings between the two schools.
The Wolverines will travel to Seattle, Wash., for the matchup on Sept. 5, 2020, at Husky Stadium. The return trip by the Huskies will take place at Michigan Stadium on Sept. 18, 2021.
"We are excited to rekindle a rivalry that has showcased some great games and great teams for both programs," said Brady Hoke, U-M's J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach. "There have been some exciting, down-to-the-wire football games between Michigan and Washington and we anticipate the same type of contests when this series is played at the outset of the next decade."
This will be the fifth time that the two programs have played a home-and-home series.

Michigan and Washington have met on 12 previous occasions with the Wolverines holding a 7-5 edge. U-M has a 3-1 record at Michigan Stadium and is 2-2 at Husky Stadium. The two programs have played in the Rose Bowl on four instances, with each team claiming two championship trophies.
This was always a fun match-up between the two teams, of course we know how the Wolverines play when they head out to the West Coast or in this case the Pacific Northwest. This should help recruiting out west and nice future series for both teams.
BTW: Michigan could have a hole in their 2016 schedule if Hawaii decides they can't afford to play football any longer.

Would't it have been generous had the monies been used to help the unpaid athletes and the volunteer student managers. These student managers keep the same pace as the athletes, no scholarships and no meals. But of course if this money freed up funds to do MORE for the students and not the admin I could jump on board.
I know the flack on this but please tell me how this differs from an NFL Franchise? Oh yes, we don' t pay for labor.
