It’s no secret that Michigan and Notre Dame don’t like each other. So it should come as no surprise that Michigan head coach Brady Hoke called Notre Dame “chickens” for ending their long-standing rivalry after next season.

“We are fortunate to have unbelievable rivalry games at Michigan. The Notre Dame game, that rivalry, which they’re chickening out of. They’re still going to play Michigan State, they’re going to play Purdue, but they don’t want to play Michigan. I don’t know how they made that decision. I really do,” Hoke said Monday speaking to reporters.

The teams have played every year since 2002, but Notre Dame’s agrement to play five ACC teams a year means that after 2014, the two schools – which both have won 11 National Championships and rank first (Michigan) and third (Notre Dame) in all-time wins – will take a break until at least the 2020 season.

The teams’ rivalry dates back to 1887, although they have only played 40 times with Michigan leading the series, 23-16-1.
