Michigan Thursday: Why Washington?

Sometimes I wonder if Michigan's athletic director's prior to accepting the job even followed Michigan Football. Michigan even has had two recent AD's that were actually on the team including current AD Warde Manuel and former CEO of Toys-R-US David Brandon. We all know David might go down as one of the worst AD's in the history of the program and we continue to live with his mistakes.

Let me take you back to August 2014, when Michigan announced a home and home contract with Washington. This is the quote from then Michigan head coach Brady Hoke: "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" News Flash: San Diego State does not play UW this year.
