The Blue Board

Strongly recommend this list. Grew up by TC. Have businesses in Manistee Onekama and Ludington so I'm up there a bit. Do Arcadia. Stay a weeken at crystal too. Try the bear, it's ok.

My favorite time up there is late September with the colors and the fudgies back home. Nothing like a crisp autumn morning 18. Home by noon for a toddy and football on the tube if MSU is on the road.

Golf in northwest Michigan in late September early October is almost orgasmic. There I said it. The sight, the smells the weather the easy pace. With or without the wife. Mine was a high school state tennis finalist but she won't golf. However if you're near TC and they don't want to join you, there's plenty for them to do. A high school friend of mine has a condo on crystal Always a great weekend up there. Enjoy yourself this fall.

Whatever. I'm not shocked. You're example is what it is.

Any good courses around East, Southeast MI? I only get to play around there and don't get to around other ones that much.

Some of the better ones I have been to around here is Four Lakes, Black River, and Lakeview Hills. Avid golfer though, have around a 6 Handicap right now.

The Majestic at Lake Walden, just north of Hartland. 27 holes, if they are busy, and have you play 10-27, its a pontoon ride to your golf cart and start of your round.

Who does Nebraska have?

Wrong year. Wisconsin, Indiana, Penn St.

You have to figure MSU makes the CCG at least once in '13 / '14. I also wonder if a squad like Iowa or even Northwestern sneaks into the CCG in '15 or '16 because the top teams are all beating on each other.

I'm tempted to ban him for repetitive realignment posting.

Nah. For all his faults, the guy is trying to talk college football and isn't trolling. There are some people who care about his topics... and many more that just enjoy making fun of him. He's cool by me.

A full day without our UM poster friends? What happened?

Any thoughts on the '15 and '16 schedules?

I like having State at the front of the conference schedule in early October.

At first glance, I really like our 2015 schedule. 4 games, then a bye, then the home stretch. No Penn State. Seems to be a pretty balanced schedule, imo.
EDIT: The best part is, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Ohio State are all home games. The bad part is, the following year, they're all on the road. I would have liked to have ONE of those switched up so it's not all or none each season.

MSU's schedule appears to be frighteningly front-loaded:
2015 vs Oregon and (presumably) Notre Dame in the pre-season followed by Michigan, @ Iowa, @ OSU, plus Nebraksa and Penn State in the next month.
2016 AT Alabama and ND again (presumably) followed by the same conference schedule.
