Brandon: Game times and Night Games

Burning a couch is a sparty marking his domain.

Brandon says that only special games with significant fan interest will be scheduled at night. If Ohio and MSU does not meet those qualifications, what game will? I guess we can expect our next night game in two years when the Domers come to town?

No night game next year? No complaints. I like keeping it for "special" games. 

like "The Horror: Part 2"

Is it just going to be Notre Dame every year we play them at home? I dont know how I feel about it.  I mean obviously we went how many years without a night game but still itd be nice to have them more often instead of just having those new lights sitting up there collecting dust.

Every game is special fergodsakes

Because Brandon has said he does not plan to schedule any more home and homes, we can only assume our nonconference schedule will be full of cupcakes going forward.

If that's the case, the ONLY possible night game could only possibly be ND, if OSU and MSU are out of the question.  Unless, of course, he decides he wants a B1G game at night, which could get chilly.

These policies aren't lining up for any exciting night game opponents in the future.

This is incredibly disappointing as night games could be really fun and I'd hate for Notre Dame to be the only qualifying game, what's wrong with having a night game to have a night game?



That said it would be nice if OSU and MSU fans had the ability to control themselves.

Good thing they spent all that money to have 1 night game every other year.

If only we saved our ugly unis for once every two years.



Night games are awesome. 1 each year plz.

and we'll get them at night without offering a home and home. that would be awesome (as long as we win).

So it can't be Michigan State or Ohio State, and Notre Dame has been done. Let's see: rest of the Big Ten schedule not so enticing. Perhaps...could it be......IS HE GOING TO SCHEDULE A REAL HOME AND HOME AGAINST A REAL HONEST TO GOD BCS TEAM?

Pick a Pac 12 team from California: any one. UCLA come on down. USC, let's do something on a year you don't travel to Notre Dame. Hey Berkeley, meet us on the Diag and we'll protest whatever war we're in that year, have a football game, and afterwards we can all go out for Fleetwood. Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaanford.

Remember a night game in Ann Arbor is an afternoon game in California.

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaanford....

P.S. Mr. Dave Brandon I swear if you make App State at night I'll....

I understand not having the ohio game at night, but state should be a night game!! Being able to ravage the (sp)farties in the dark would be sooooo special. C'mon Dave!!

I hate inviting my little brother to my night parties.  He always gets rambunctious and tries to burn my furniture. 

so there's no night game next fall?

:(

So basically, night games at the Big House will only feature Notre Dame, possibly Nebraska or if we decide to schedule a big name non-conference opponent in a home (which I don't see happening under Brandon anytime soon because we'd have to schedule a home-and-home with big name opponent and he doesn't want to give up the $$$)

I'm sorry, but a night game against OSU or MSU would be epic.  They do it all the time in the SEC among bitter rivals.  Nobody dies.  

Cripes, maybe the other teams are right.  We really are arrogant.  CFB has had night games against rivals for 50+ years, but it can't be done in Ann Arbor because . . . um . . . er . . . because why exactly?

October night games against Iowa or Nebraska (and their generally well-behaved fans) would be fine, otherwise I'm sure the Brown Jug would look lovely all lit up.

If we don't make a BCS game this year, it will be at least in part due to weak OOC scheduling - perhaps that will be enough to make DB re-think his scheduling strategy.

Glad DB decided to spend the equivilent of the national defecit for lights that we only use once every two years.

Maybe I'll move to Florida and buy the best snow tires on the market.

No offense DB but I'll believe it when I see it.

Next on ABC Michigan vs Eastern Northern Sideways A&M at 8:00PM where Michigan will debut their new alternate special home jerseys that feature real Wolverine fur on the collars.
