A football game between the University of Massachusetts and Michigan that athletic director John McCutcheon alluded to in October could be close to becoming a reality.

McCutcheon told the fans who attended a reception with new coach Kevin Morris at the UMass Club in Boston on Thursday that a game in 2010 with the Wolverines looks promising.

"We don't have a signed contract yet," McCutcheon said after the event. "But it's looking pretty good."

The game would almost certainly be the biggest crowd ever to see a UMass game as Michigan Stadium seats over 100,000 fans. The Wolverines are coming off a 3-9 season.

When McCutcheon first alluded to the possibility of a meeting with Michigan, he told a weekly sports luncheon at UMass that the Minutemen were in negotiations to play a Bowl Championship Subdivision opponent for guarantee of "around $1 million."

Michigan will win that one. They are a good QB short of being a top 3 B10 team.

very nice to see a local program play a very big program. It will at least bring football attention to new england.

Michigan is gonna beat that ass black & blue. App was a fluke, so lets not go overboard. Michigan is in the shitter but not in the pipe.

You may be correct...so we'll lose, take our $1M and go home with the experience playing a team at that level brings...
