2018 Night Game
So by rule, Michigan has to play three night games at home over two years. With today's news about the Minnesota game, that means just one game at night next year. Home schedule is as follows:
9/8- Western Michigan
9/15- SMU
9/22- Nebraska
10/6- Maryland
10/13- Wisconsin
11/3- Penn State
11/17 - IU
Just a guess, but I'd rank the likelihood of a night game at - UW, PSU, Nebraska, especially for a network game. Outside shot at Maryland or SMU as a BTN game.
Also, I'd guess that both Notre Dame and MSU will be night games next year, or perhaps Northwestern.

PSU, lets return the favor.

Which account that got deleted saturday night/sunday morning were you previously?

I stay far, far away from the board on game day - especially when i think we're gonna lose for fear of what I might say.
Curious what you did. Or should I say what Mr Yost did (if you heard)

takes a massive beating, even by the authors, but the guy responsible for the freaking terrible passing game is not allowed to be criticized. No idea.

Its probably because he is working with a bad backup QB, missing our best reviever while the rest are young/inexperienced, and the line stinks. I doubt that many OCs would be able to scrape together an average pass attack with the current pieces.
October 23rd, 2017 at 8:40 PM ^
Just keep your old handle, man. Your points will come back after a certain time period. I spent 6 months there back in the day.

How long do self imposed negbangs last?
October 23rd, 2017 at 8:57 PM ^
Not 100% on this, but it seems there's a discretionary time period assigned when a mod Bolivia's someone, almost like putting a user in 'time out'.
October 23rd, 2017 at 9:54 PM ^
No I mean the kind where the community just downvotes them from thousands to thousands negative.

I'm not actually Mr. Yost.
My original account was beyond Bolivia'd somehow in one of those post-game threads on Saturday, so logging in wasn't even feasible.
Unfortunate.

I Like Burgers was the result of me picking something as bland and neutral as possible as I launched a new account.

Judging by your join date that would have been the day we pasted Pudue in Hoke's second year, coming off the loss to Notre Dame.

Wisconsin or Penn State.
October 23rd, 2017 at 8:08 PM ^
October 24th, 2017 at 1:17 AM ^
night game if we have any say. Wisconsin is almost certainly the game here, right?
October 23rd, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
I would love to return the favor to Penn State with Barkley going to the draft and Moorhead getting a HC job elsewhere.
Wisconsin would be cool too. All the Badgers fans I've interacted with have been pretty great.

We seem to have a lot of teams we need to get revenge on.
We must have sucked.

There are a few Cornell teams I want a piece of . . .

Only weeks 4-10 are covered by the "3 games can be moved against the home team's will" rule. So that means Western Michigan, Southern Methodist and Indiana are out.
Michigan also has the ability to pick a single game in that time period and set the time without any network input. Michigan always uses that ability to lock the Homecoming game into a time slot--usually noon, as they did this year with Rutgers. So that means Maryland will probably be locked into noon.
So that leaves Nebraska, Wisconsin and Penn State.
2019 pretty much has to be Notre Dame. That and Rutgers are the only non-Homecoming home games during weeks 4-10.
October 24th, 2017 at 12:17 AM ^
So that leaves Nebraska, Wisconsin and Penn State
So play all three at night.
October 23rd, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
If Harbaugh/the team has a say, it will be Penn State.
October 23rd, 2017 at 7:29 PM ^
I thought it was 3 or 4? A minimum of 3 over 2 years, possibly 4?
Regardless, I think that night games are going to proliferate, and become more of a problem. I could easily see 5 night games every year (2 at home, 3 on the road, plus 3:30pm starts.)
Noon starts are a thing of the past, with the exception perhaps of OSU and a couple dog games.
October 23rd, 2017 at 7:33 PM ^
The way I understand the rule is "teams can have games placed at night against their will in weeks 4-10, with a maximum of 2 in one year and 3 in any 2-year period." It's certainly not a minimum; it's a maximum.
They can play more night games than that, but the teams (both home and away) have veto power once you hit the maximum.

October 23rd, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
Indiana, Oklahoma, Rutgers, & Nebraska.
MSU & Illinois times still undetermined.

I wish we had made Wisconsin and Penn State our two night games for 2018.
October 23rd, 2017 at 7:40 PM ^
Good God, please let it be Western. Of course it won't happen but I'm being serious.

Started my education of partying at WMU. GPA 0.77 (6 months) You have to try to do that. I had a blast! or so they told me.
My dad promised me in high school that he would pay for the best college I could get in... well after this stellar performance it was all on me after that.
Alas, decided I had to get my act together and graduated from UofM in Econ then got a master at WSU in medicine.
I seriously came home and cried to my dad that I think I forever killed so many brain cells that I was forever gonna be stupid. Thank god for the plasticity of the younger mind... oh a bit of moderation.
In all seriousness, I'm very thankful that I got that out of my system early and that I had the opportunity to redeem myself (in my own eyes).
PS: Reapplied back to WMU and got accepted into the honors college and a partial scholarhip.... only to have Michigan say at the last minute "Okay, I guess we'll take you"

We do, and at the relatively sane time of year of September 1st in 2018, if I am not mistaken, and then at the really awkward time of late October in 2019, but as we rushed headlong back into this rivalry, we fall victim to Notre Dame's lovely ACC slate.
