This can't be true.I would hope ABC puts ND v USC and Ole Miss - Miss St on the ABC/ESPN2 Mirror @ 8pm. 

Games on 11-29:

Ole Miss - Miss St (egg bowl)

Bama- Auburn (iron bowl) - Night game on ESPN

Oregon - Oregon St

Kansas - Kansas St

ND @ USC 

Wisconsin - Minnesota

CBS putting the Egg Bowl in its 2:30 slot and Florida/Florida State as the ABC 2:30 game (along with Michigan State/Penn State and Minnesota/Wisconsin).  Fox might put Kansas/K State or Baylor/Texas Tech late.  But, I would see the Michigan/Ohio State game going at 11, per usual, with the biggest competition being Georgia Tech/Georgia.

It has already been announced that Mississippi State at Mississippi will be at 3:30 on CBS, and it has already been announced that Auburn at Alabama will be at 7:45 on ESPN.

The 8:00 ABC broadcast will almost certainly be the Notre Dame at Southern California game.

There will almost certainly be a Big Twelve game on Fox at 7:30, and Baylor-Texas Tech is a likely choice.

My guess for the ABC/ESPN games:

Noon--Michigan at Ohio State (ABC), Florida at Florida State (ESPN), meaningless ACC game (ESPN2)

3:30--Minnesota at Wisconsin and Georgia Tech at Georgia (ABC/ESPN2 reverse mirror), Kansas at Kansas State (ESPN)

7:30/8:00--Notre Dame at Southern California (ABC), Auburn at Alabama (ESPN), South Carolina at Clemson (ESPN2)

As I recall, this was floated last year as well by another site and it never came to pass, but then it was merely reported as a rumor straight up and not a listing of any sort anywhere. That being said, I am supposed to do the second Thanksgiving dinner of that week on that Saturday, so given the state of things at the moment, I would rather have it on at noon so I could be distracted by cooking and family rather than later when I am tipsy and full of turkey.

Forgive me for being slightly optimistic, but it certainly does not help their precision passing offense to be playing a night game in late November. A game played in bitter cold where long passes are hard to come by helps us more than them.

Follow B1G news about keeping fans safe from drunken muggings, rapes and murders.

There will never ever be a Michigan versus OSU or MSU game at night.

None of these universities have substantial liability insurance to cover the property loss and personal injury litigation that would surely result.

NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN.

It's been a tradition to have those games at night for quite a few years. Further while they take the games seriously, their fans do not engage in the psychopathic manner as do the douchebag Sparties or Buckeys. Have you never been to a game at either of the two latter venues?

Fans of SEC schools can be just as crazy if not more so than Sparty and Buckeye fans.  Ever hear the story of the Bama fan who killed her friend because she wasn't upset enough that Bama lost the Iron Bowl?

I was at last year's MSU-Michigan game, smack dab in the middle of the student section in East Lansing.  I was friendly to the Sparties around me and they were friendly right back.  These are people we're talking about, not demons.

I've been to Auburn, UGA, Gainesville, and the Sugar Bowl just to name a few and the fans are almost the same everywhere.  Passionate, friendly, and some are drunken pricks.  Although Gainesville is pretty much all drunken pricks.  I've been to games all over the US and have yet to see the drunken riots following a night game some of you are so convinced will happen.

I've also never seen the frigid blizzard game that some of you are convinced happen every November Saturday after 3:30.

A fifth year senior QB being this bad, a red shirt freshman QB being this good, and a first team All B1G cornerback wearing Charles Woodson's number being so bad at man-press coverage that he can't get on the field for more than a couple of plays a game?  You are a hopeless optimist.

I would like to think that thye're considering of one of those Pac-10, 10 pm EST kickoffs, so that no one will be watching, but somehow I don't think so.

Updates on this posted several minutes ago

UPDATE Nov. 10, 2014 9:06 p.m.: Carrie Miller, Associate Director of Student Activities for OUAB, clarified to Land-Grant Holy Land that they had to choose a placeholder time on the Beat Michigan event website and that the time of the game is still to be determined.

UPDATE Nov. 10, 2014 9:04 p.m.: Ohio State sent out invites for an event set to take place the morning of Nov. 29. The context of the email makes it pretty clear the kickoff is expected to be an early afternoon one:

If we were any good I'd be okay with this, but I'd rather not wait the whole day to watch us get slaughtered.

Having said that, for the people who say Michigan will never play a night game against OSU or MSU because we're afraid of the city being trashed or abundant drunk fights in Ann Arbor, I honestly don't get it. LSU and Alabama play at night every year. Auburn and Alabama played at night last year if memory serves me correctly. All of those schools have many more rambunctious yahoos at football games than either Michigan, MSU or OSU, and they get along just fine with their night games.

It's just another reason why Michigan is living in the past. Just because Bo said Michigan should play its games at noon doesn't mean we need to take it as gospel.

Agreed.  It makes us look so backwards.  

Like for years how we insisted that night games just could not be done at Michigan even though they were done everywhere else with no issues.  Turns out night games at Michigan are great events for everyone involved.

There are reasons that can be made for not having night games with OSU or MSU.  But "danger" is not one of them.
