2015 Home UTL
As a refresher, the great and powerful Hackett announced back in February that a home night game was being planned this season.
As of this writing, kickoff for BYU, MSU, Rutgers and OSU are TBA.
I'm liking the reasoning that, perhaps, it could be MSU this year. How fun would that be?
EDIT: Stand corrected. Missed the reversal announcement.

No, night games are awesome. I wouldn't mind MSU at night, but OSU needs to stay at noon.
I would have to guess Wisconsin would be a no brainer for a night game next year.

Take this completely FWIW, but I've heard secondhand from several people that Harbaugh wants earlier games.
If true, I still doubt it changes much since the networks have so much control, but might put a damper on night games.

I don't have a terribly strong preference for a game time addmittedly - I'll adjust somehow to whatever life throws at me football-wise, but if we are playing at noon, my sole request is some sort of respectable coffee concession because I am not a morning person and inherently morning tailgating is a physically taxing thing for me. Bearclaw was at the Spring Game and had something with actual espresso in it - that would be nice for a noon kickoff if you're otherwise good for not much before noon anyway.

Half the fun for me on gameday is the anticipation...the rest of the day would be a letdown, win or lose if Michigan games were at 9am.
I don't want them all at night, because that would drive me crazy...but I'd like a simple formula.
Noon for easy games/cupcakes.
3:30 for big time games.
8pm for one home game and one road game each year.

Oregon St. is not a cupcake and not a big time game. But they're west coast, so it's presumably an advantage to make them play earlier.

For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would drink before games.
Leaving your seat at halftime to get a hotdog is a nightmare as it is. I don't even want to think what using the bathroom must be like.

Ah, education shaming. That's a good look.
Although, I'm damn proud of my 3.1 GPA right now in college as I'm the first in my immediate family to even be in college.
August 28th, 2015 at 10:24 PM ^
To be fair, you are shaming people who like to have a few beers before a football game.
August 28th, 2015 at 10:24 PM ^
SDW, how does it help to be an arrogant ASS with a fellow loyal Michigan fan??? Kindly FUCK OFF, on second thought just FUCK OFF!
August 28th, 2015 at 9:53 PM ^
It's not the bad, actually. If you're smart and know some tricks (go in the exit, there's always a ton of empty urinals), you can easily get a #1 in during any one of the hour long TV-timeouts.

Contrary to most 20-year-old's beliefs, you can drink before a game without getting drunk. There's few things greater on this world that cracking open a beer - maybe something a friend brought that you've never tried - having a brat or burger, playing cornhole or beer pong, with a group of equally crazed M&B fans.
August 28th, 2015 at 10:31 PM ^
It has nothing to do with getting drunk. It has to do with getting up to use the bathroom.
Let's just say I have much more trouble than others doing that when not in a secluded or private restroom. One of the many forms of anxiety I have. TMI but that's the genesis of this whole thing.

Fully expect like a hundred people one-up this, but I did witness an Army SSG force feed a shy eighteen year old lukeworm water from the bathroom sink until he finally got a drug test done. Good times.

There’s nothing worse than sitting in traffic and being forced to ruin your favorite coffee mug because there isn’t a toilet in sight. Enter: Hydrogel beads to the rescue!
via Google Translation…
Each man knows it: Situations, in which one would give everything for a toilet. roadbag® this problem eases once and for all.
Whether in the back-up or on the festival, with the camping or in the sport airplane – roadbag®, the bag WC for men, facilitates you, where you also are.
roadbag® is handily, surely, hygenically and comfortable.
The secret of roadbag® is the superabsorber: This special granulates in the interior bag connects itself with the urine to a firm gel. Thus no drop can run out, become unpleasant smells reliably prevented.
For clean hands after urination roadbag® a refresher pad is attached to everyone. A completely clean thing.
How it works
Into roadbag® inserted interior bags contains a superabsorber (chemical: Polymer crystals). This binds rapidly up to 700 ml urine and consolidates it to a firm gel – without skin contact, hygenically and odorless. Nothing runs out.
The average urine quantity amounts to however only 300 to 500 ml. Thus roadbag® – the bag WC for men – was up to to each pressure.
After urination roadbag® with the adhesive strip lock and in the remainder garbage dispose – finished.
Please while driving to tax do not use! Children should use roadbag® only under supervision. Absorbers do not swallow. Drying store.

I hope it's MSU, that would be a great prime time matchup.
August 28th, 2015 at 9:28 PM ^
I'm a huge fan of night games. It leaves the afternoon open for grilling and watching other games to get ready for Michigan football.
August 28th, 2015 at 9:41 PM ^
As someone who lives on the west side of the state, I hate noon games. Even as a fist shifter this season. Last thing I want to do is get up that early on a Saturday after the work week and drive out to AA with time to eat/tailgate.
Three-thirty games are great and night games are just glorious. There's time to sleep in, catch a little of the noon games, drive out to AA, eat at one of our favorite restaurants, tailgate, football game, and then <del>make</del> ask to second shift wife to drive home.
August 28th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
"second shift wife"? What does your 1st shift wife think about that?
(I won't even touch the "fist shifter" comment, other than to say that's not my kind of porn)

Itll be BYU or MSU, if at all.

kicks...get a fill of games in the early slate, then tune in. I love it as the darkness takes over and the lights kick in, just something about that atmosphere at 6 or 6:30 that gets me.

I will never understand the infatuation with noon games. Yes, I realize Bo made a comment about playing noon games like 30 years ago, but - yeah - I don't really care.
Night games are far and away superior to day games. The atmosphere, anticipation, and pre-game tailgating produce an amazing experience that noon games and afternoon games can't match. Moreover, night games offer far broader exposure and visibility for the University and - I would have to imagine - are far more attractive to recruits.
My $0.02.
