Michigan/MSU Game Time
Quick question for the board/mods. The schedule in the "useful stuff" says we play MSU at night. All other sources online including the MSU AD site still say "TBD." Yes, I searched the board as well. I will potentially have another event going on that day and I'm really hoping to not have to DVR the game if it's in the evening. Does anyone have insight on this or is the MGOSchedule just a leftover time from last year?

A day's worth of MSU fan drinking + the tunnel incident = a night game is a bad idea.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:21 AM ^
Don't forget "savior" Dantonio now back as the Associate Head Coach.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:34 AM ^
No doubt they’re practicing the three stooges eye poke and chiropractic neck adjustment as I type. Set Graham and Grant at midfield as they do their spartan walk for shits and giggles.

Ass. Head Coach
FIFY

Where's the threat?

If that "other event" is a wedding then just don't go and tell them you aren't going because they scheduled a fall wedding and they are selfish.
If that "other event" is your wedding then it isn't too late
September 13th, 2023 at 9:22 AM ^
Not a wedding, but it is an event I am part of the planning/execution team for so I can't duck out. :(
September 13th, 2023 at 9:34 AM ^
I love a good and committed execution team!
September 13th, 2023 at 9:56 AM ^
September 13th, 2023 at 10:40 AM ^
I'm sure Brian Kelly would be happy to fill in!
September 13th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
Sounds like a good night for a case of the shits. No one wants a replay of that delta flight at their event.

Welp, you just failed the planning part, hopefully you fair better at the execution.
September 13th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
It's crazy how you are gonna catch COVID 48 hours before said event.

Funny wedding/sports story. My cousin's wedding was in Wisconsin on June 7, 1997, the same day the Wings finished their sweep of the Flyers for their first cup since 1955. The reception was at a hotel ball room, and the game started just after the reception did. So I grabbed a plate of food at the 1st intermission and sat in the lobby of the hotel in front of a TV and watched the entire game. It was well worth the nasty looks I got from my uncle and grandma, but it did make for a subdued celebration for me.
September 13th, 2023 at 11:37 AM ^
You made the only correct choice.
September 13th, 2023 at 2:20 PM ^
I was also at a reception that day and many of the attendees spent most of the event crammed into a side room to watch the game. Bride was pissed, but she always was the fun governor.
September 13th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Also at a wedding but the bride was with us watching the Wings so she’s alright.

Brett McMurphy reported several weeks ago that the Michigan-MSU game would be played at 7:30 on NBC. I don't know if that has been formally announced or not.
I believe it could still be subject to "flex scheduling" between the three B1G networks, NBC, CBS and Fox.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:41 AM ^
Being that it is the same day as OSU/PSU(Fox) & Tennessee/Bama(CBS) it’s a safe bet that it will be on NBC.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:48 AM ^
I thought the Flex scheduling only worked for the Big Noon slot, and there's no way Fox is giving up OSU/PSU.
September 13th, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
But ask again after they get thrashed by Washington this Saturday. They may want to move it to nine a.m.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:21 AM ^
If I were technologically savy enough to post a gif of Phillip Seymour Hoffman from Big Lebowski saying, "Well Dude, we just don't know." I would.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:06 AM ^
Take my upvote and sincere thanks.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:22 AM ^
I think it the off-season it was reported it will be a night game in East Lansing (on NBC I think?) but that was before Mel Tucker’s indecency was exposed so they may or may flex that out if they can. Figures crossed they do because I also have something to do that night.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:23 AM ^
Also, if they've lost multiple games by then, it takes the luster off of primetime.

IF?? Sparty plays Washington, Maryland, @Iowa and @Rutgers before facing Michigan in EL. Bringing Mark out of retirement might be a nice stabilizing PR play, but I don't believe his angry presence on the sideline yields more than one win out of that four game prelude to keeping Paul Bunyan in Ann Arbor.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:28 AM ^
Is bringing Dantonio a stabilizer?
His program was in the tank at the end. You’re adding a new figure head to an already established locker room hierarchy.
Who is in charge Harlon? Mork?
Maybe he comes back and just game plans Michigan for five weeks but I’m not so sure this is a smart move.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:39 AM ^
Sparty fans probably think it gets this team to a bowl game. I'm leaning towards the Double-D thinking that it's a mess if he's on the sideline wearing a headset. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it's Mark's plan to pull a rabbit out of his hat and somehow bring Paul back to EL so people will forget about how MSU was ended up with Mel due to the timing of his retirement based on personal greed.
September 13th, 2023 at 12:47 PM ^
All was forgiven the moment this scandal broke. All will be forgotten with a win that derails Michigan's season. I'm sure on a personal level he wants it badly too. He may have a winning record against Michigan, but he has a losing record against Harbaugh (whose arrival, whether they want to admit it or not, was the beginning of the end for Dantonio) and I'm sure that rankles him to no end. Jim needs to rise to the occasion with a great game plan of his own. Even just an equal game plan will do, as he has the far superior team.
September 13th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
Wait a second. Aren't you assuming that MSU gives a shit about any other game on their schedule besides UM. The UM game is their Super Bowl and bringing back Dantonio will only intensify the disrespekt.
September 13th, 2023 at 12:41 PM ^
After some of Michigan's inexplicable losses in football and basketball over the last 15ish years, I always say "if" until the final buzzer sounds.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:40 AM ^
Sparty is going to feel the wrath of Penix on Saturday evening.
September 13th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
Would have been interesting to see how Mel would've handled Washington's Penix???

You mean as opposed to his own?
September 13th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
I believe this is one of those situations where the likely game time was deduced by looking at the games whose kickoff times have already been announced and comparing those with the network coverage obligations/time slots. So while it hasn’t *officially* been announced as a night game yet, it appears extremely likely to happen. There are a few mgobloggers who are really on top of network coverage obligations who can probably confirm the specifics.

September 13th, 2023 at 9:30 AM ^
Well, if the freaks come out at night, then it'll be 7:30pm in EL.
Chop that wood. Tug comin'.

If one had to explain what MSU's football program smells like:
September 13th, 2023 at 9:36 AM ^
That seems fairly complimentary at this point…
September 13th, 2023 at 9:49 AM ^
Have you ever smelled rotting potatoes? That smell gets my vote.
September 13th, 2023 at 9:55 AM ^
wendy, other farm choices include:
1. eggs hidden by brooding hen...... many months ago
2. skunk, alive or dead
3. possum - they don't get enough credit for how foul they smell
4. coyotes killed a deer and left the carcass.....
September 13th, 2023 at 10:02 AM ^
Marijuana. How can people smoke such a foul smelling weed?
Also, Ohio.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:05 AM ^
All good choices, XM, but I'll have to go with Wendy on the rotten potatoes.
Interesting note: some perfumes use certain chemicals found in skunk spray to make the perfume scent last longer. Think of that the next time your wife sprays on her favorite eau de toilette.
Edit: One of the worst was from my childhood. My cousins lived in south central WI, middle of dairy country. In the spring, large trucks would pick up the cows that died in the pastures over the winter and take them off somewhere to dispose of them (or maybe make them into dog food or something like that). When they drove past...(retch)...I do believe the air changed color from the smell. And it didn't just pass with the truck. It lingered. For a long time. It was so thick you could taste it on your tongue.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:06 AM ^
When my sister was a kid she wanted to keep one of her pretty easter eggs so she hid it away in her closet. It took my parents months to find the source of that smell.
September 13th, 2023 at 10:10 AM ^
Pissing on a fire also smells pretty bad.
September 13th, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
Cooking broccoli...
September 13th, 2023 at 11:15 AM ^
How does one picture a smell?
