Michigan-Maryland to be played at Noon?

My U of M source says Big Ten has plans to move Maryland game to noon Saturday (not 8pm) and will make final decision by tomorrow evening.

Will be a noon start if either or both teams crap the bed between now and then. If The Game is for the B1G East, which it well could be, it will be a 3:30 game.

This take is an incorrect take.

It was played later than 1pm only time ever: 2006
I'll put 2,000 MGoPoints on it that it'll be at Noon on ABC, like it is every single year.

It is a Michigan Football game where ass kicking will be in display. I will watch whether it is at noon or 3:30 or 6:30 or 8. Heck, I would watch if it is at 3am on Sunday. I have no life when it comes to M Football. Go Blue!

SUCK IT UP and play the game at the scheduled time..unless their is a lightining storm the game should go on

play football during a potential hurricane landfall?
I assume you dinged some tobacc into a spittoon while polishing an old double barreled shotgun while typing that.
/actually might be impressed if serious.

I'm a fan of the 3:30 games in mid-to-late October where it starts to get dark in the 4th quarter. Michigan has won a lot of fun games in that fashion. Braylonfest and Touchdown Manningham come to mind.

What if Michigan dominated on the ground with Deveon and with some deep balls to Jehu?
We could call the game "Smith and Chesson"
Eh?? EH!?!?? See what I did there?
September 30th, 2015 at 11:10 PM ^
On a personal note, I'm gonna be pissed because I changed my schedule so I could watch the night game.

It's football, not tennis: Play in the rain. I've concede to lightning, but rain? MANBALL ain't sweet- it's not gonna melt in some rain.

I understand the frustration with the earlier game time but given the potential weather conditions being forecast, it makes sense to me.
We're not talking about the potential for rain, we're talking about the potential for rain/lightning bands to start hitting the area that night. While the chance is remote, I would hate for the game to get cut short because of lightning.

If the forecast continues to trend towards a major hurricane moving up the Chesapeake on Sunday afternoon the chance of a game anytime on Saturday will continue to fall

I really think it's going to stay at 8PM in College Park.
Most recent government hurricane trackers just released this map:
As you can see, even by Sunday night the effects in the DC area will be minimal at best. It's really going to be a late Sunday night into Monday problem for the area.
As long as your flight is scheduled home before 7/8PM on Sunday, you should be fine.
I really, REALLY, don't want a noon game because my flight to Baltimore doesn't land until 11AM on Saturday.

Joaquin is a Category 3 hurricane and is expected to become a Category 4.
October 1st, 2015 at 12:49 AM ^
I understand, but it's only rapidly strengthening because it is over warm Bahama water AND not moving at all.
Once it turns to the north and picks up speed it will rapidly weaken; all meterologists are in agreement on this.
Even when the storm is 400 ish miles off the SC coast during game time, it will be a category 2 or less.

Just curious, how do you know all this? (non-facetious)
I mean, do you read a lot of weather related sites, or do you work in the field? I'm always in amazement the sheer number of random ass posters on here, who know a lot about such diverse topic areas.
Leaders and Best I guess.

I work in reinsurance, transferring natural cat risk (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc...) to the financial markets.

Joaquin doesn't want to be labeled. Stop labeling him.

Give me the 6 am games - love to watch email with my bran buds and Metamucil

Not a fan of noon games because it means the game starts at 9:00am my time.
