Michigan has only had Umass so far, and would only have 1 BTN game in the first 6.

I thought that all teams needed 4 BTN games, but that may not be true anymore. In any case, I would assume that Illinois and Purdue are headed for the BTN.

Look for Illinois and Purdue to be prime BTN candidates.  Not sure how the pecking order goes (despite the numerous threads with often-conflicting information), but PSU and osu are definitely WWL fodder.  Wisco likely is, too, especially if UM and UW keep up their winning ways.  Iowa is already scheduled to be on ABC at 330pm.

Wife's grandmother's 90th birthday party that evening.  I'm sure we'll be out of the house before the end of the game, even with a 2:30 start in Chicago.  I guess that's why God invented radio, Tivo, and the internet.

I kind of assumed this would be the case given the rest of the conference slate that weekend, but it does mean I don't get to watch the game as I will probably be tailgating for the USA soccer match.  Oh well.

I'll be flying in at 6am that morning to see the game. It'll give me some time to rest up  before tailgating, cheering on  the team and celebrating a Michigan win!

If this game was in EL, I would be terrifed about the town going up in flames by the time the game rolled around. 

This could very well be the game of the day just because the rivalry tends to keep these games close.  Hopefully Dantonio is back for the game, because beating MSU will be even sweater if he is there to witness it.

with you on the noon start... i have to work at the stadium that day, but i have a bachelor party that night... a noon start would have been perfect... get home around 7, nap, go out... now its going to be get done at the stadium around 9pm and then have to go straight to where ever the party is at... this wouldn't be a big problem if i hadn't been running my ass for 12 hours... hopefully the best man keeps the party in the general area of AA...

I'm driving down Friday from Marquette for the game, so good thing it's a late start so I can get some sleep. 

 

When are the permanent lights going in?
