No surprises there.

2 of the top 3 coaches in college football and were playing a noon game... What a joke. This is one of those stupid traditions that Michigan fans cling onto along with no Rawwwwkkkk!!!

but it is always at noon, don't think Harbaugh plays in to things here. 

The 3:30 start in 06 was completely legitimate given the circumstances and if a #1 v. #2 ever arose again they would do it again and I would have no problem with it.

Actually, I think that was 2001 - I don't know if that was a product of 9/11 altering schedules and therefore television time slots or what though - I am pretty sure someone here might know the reason though because we are that sort of fan (and it is a beautiful thing). With rare exceptions, 2006 being the other one of recent note, it has been a noon start as far back as I can think.

actually would have been a "return" to tradition I think because I think it used to actually be a 1:00 PM kick.  I don't remember why in that case though but I do remember it being at 1:00.

Jesus man. When people are this emotionally attached to a game's start time they're taking this whole "tradition" thing a little too far and to a place it was never intended to go.

I WILL ENJOY SPENDING MUCH OF THE SECOND HALF IN THE INTERMINABLE IMMINGRATION LINE AT KENNEDY AIRPORT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE GLOBAL ENTRY BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS CLEARLY A NOTRE DAME FAN IN SOME SORT OF METAPHPORICAL SENSE IN THAT THEY ARE INTO WEIRD RACIAL PSYCHOSEXUAL STUFF.  GOD I AM SO ANNOYED THAT I AM MISSING THE GAME.
