The Big-10 deal was inked after we had made the initial Northwestern deal, so I was pretty excited to see some interesting teams pop up on the schedule. Another four years of Northwestern does not strike me as interesting. Hopefully the gap in '18 and '19 will be filled with a home and home with someone else. (Michigan would be my dream choice. I'd book plane fare now to see the Cardinal in the Big House.)

To clarify, Stanford and Northwestern already had four games scheduled from 2019 through 2022. The new agreement adds two games in 2015 and 2016. The Pac 12 vs. Big 10 scheduling agreement doesn't go into effect until 2017, so the newly added games in 2015 and 2016 don't seem to be part of that agreement.

Hank, some of us are old enough to remember what happened when Stanford last played in the Big House. Stanford got killed twice, losing 47-10 in 1973 and 51-0 in 1976. That 51-0 loss was the third worst defeat in Stanford history. Stanford did manage a 19-19 tie in 1975, which was viewed as a stunning result at the time. . . .
