Any ideas of when Mich/Mich State game time and network?
I know this may be a little too early for the networks to decide but I am really hoping for a 3:30 ABC kick. I was wondering what you all thought after looking over the schedule. There are many attractive games that weekend for the networks.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:35 PM ^
EDIT: Thought you were asking for networks for MSU/OSU
September 29th, 2012 at 2:39 PM ^
They'll prob decide the week before. The other games that have (currently) have 2 ranked opponents are SC v. Florida which is probably a CBS game, and KSU v. WV which prob ends up as a FOX night game
September 29th, 2012 at 2:42 PM ^
I think you may be right. But i think a lot depends on Michigan Staee winning today and us beating Purdont next week.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:40 PM ^
12 est game. not sure about network.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:42 PM ^
link?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:43 PM ^
You don't know that yet.
September 29th, 2012 at 6:58 PM ^
one of the apps on my phone had it scheduled for noon est but I just checked a couple other places and it's all TBA. oops!!
September 29th, 2012 at 2:43 PM ^
I'd tell you it'll be a 3:30 game, but I doubt it will be nationally televised. It might be on ABC regionally, because I bet that will be the B1G's most popular game that day.
I was willing to bet this game would make College Gameday a few weeks ago, but with the Florida South Carolina game, as well as the KSU West Virginia game that day, not to mention MSU being on Gameday today, that doesn't look like its going to happen.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:46 PM ^
I'm happy I can tailgate all day on the golf course then play it on the TV with my rabbit ears and not have to worry about my spot with my dish.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:44 PM ^
I'm also hoping for a 3:30 game. Tailgating for noon games isn't nearly as much fun.
Has anyone else noticed how last year we had a ton of home noon kickoffs, and so far this year we have none (last I checked anyway)?
September 29th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Yes and It's terrible. Even the freaking umass game was 3:30. Come on. That does not need to be that late. My old high school could've beaten them.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:56 PM ^

This link basically has the information for every game out there.

Fuck 3:30. I'm sick of these late starts. Michigan football should be played at Noon, just like Bo said, every weekend with the occasional HOME night game. But in this day and age where TV networks dictate start times, we're seeing a lot less of it. For God's sake, the game against UMASS was 3:30! Michigan only plays at noon at home. It's been a policy ever since a home game in the 80s was a late start and ended pretty late in freezing weather. Bo declared no game in November at Michigan would not be played past Noon.
Woop de do about the tailgating. I like having the satisfaction of getting the win and then I can relax and tailgate after the game. Does wonders for me.
I'm just really tense on game days.

Get The F### Off My Lawn! ;)
September 29th, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
I seem to recall 1 PM home games. Was I drunk? Can someone as old as me confirm? Freshman in 1969!
September 29th, 2012 at 3:36 PM ^
Before my time, but oh yes, home games were usually 1pm. I have a large Michigan ticket stub collection and most of them from the 60s, 70s and 80s say 1pm.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:23 PM ^
May have been drunk, but remembered correctly about the 1pm starts!
September 30th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
Bo used to say "Toe meets leather at 1:00. If you want to take pictures, come on down". That was a different era before TV ran everything.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:53 PM ^
Did you also drive model t's in your day?
September 29th, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
The wheel wasn't invented yet.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:56 PM ^
Fuck noon kicks, fuck Bo and fuck any game that starts before 3:30. GRFOML and I hope Perkins goes out of business so you will starve to death you crotchety old curmudgeon.
I don't really want you to die, but noon starts are ass.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:09 PM ^
Did you really just say "fuck Bo?"
September 29th, 2012 at 4:34 PM ^
I'm but a vessel for the ghost of Ernie Harwell. He says fuck Bo, not me. But fuck noon starts.
September 29th, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
What the hell is wrong with you? Fuck you for even typing those words.
September 30th, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
Bo didn't fire Ernie Harwell. The Tigers made it look like it was his call when it wasn't. That was not one of Tom Monaghan's prouder moments.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:24 PM ^
Such venom.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:37 PM ^
I am getting a little crazy watching OSU and MSU and finding it much like deciding between drowning to death and Burning to death.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:30 PM ^
Yeah there's probably a way to make your point about prefering 3:30 starts without stating "f*ck Bo"...
September 29th, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
Fuck you, you cunt!
October 1st, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
I retracted the statement already.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
have no respect for U of M tradition, I'm guessing you also like the bumble bee jerseys and every team's gloves that make a symbol when u put your hands together, sweet gloves bro!
October 1st, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^
Has to do with the other but welcome to the board.
September 30th, 2012 at 3:33 AM ^
The people who like 3:30 games are for the frat boy types that want to be stumbling drunk when they get to the game. Michigan football needs no enhancer, being hammered only takes away from the experience.
October 1st, 2012 at 11:44 AM ^
Those who live off of campus or in other states who prefer later games so that it makes travel easier?
September 29th, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
Most likely 3:30, which is fine but I must admit I wasn't a fan of the UMass game being a 3:30 kick.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:07 PM ^
Night Game, 7:00 kickoff. I'm calling it now. Michigan travels to Nebraska for 8:00pm kickoff the following week, I guarantee this is Brandon's night game for the Big House this season.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
/s?
Dave Brandon has reiterated he does not want them here for a night game.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
All the more reason to have it then. Wild card!
September 30th, 2012 at 7:51 AM ^
They arent a big enough program to warrant a night game in the big house
September 29th, 2012 at 4:26 PM ^
It's a noon kick
September 29th, 2012 at 4:55 PM ^
I'm bringing my dad and brothers tithe Northwestern game. When does it kick off?
September 29th, 2012 at 5:10 PM ^
If NW is undefeated that'll will be a big game. Probably 3:30. It's still yet to be announced.
September 29th, 2012 at 7:04 PM ^
Does anybody really believe Northwestern will be undefeated when we play them on November 10th? They were threatened by an Indiana team that gave up 700 yards today. I think they will be exposed in the coming weeks
September 29th, 2012 at 5:35 PM ^
Got a link man? Or is it jut wishful thinking on your part?
September 30th, 2012 at 7:50 AM ^
Hasn't been announced, jackass.
September 29th, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
I don't think a thread is needed for this, but whatever. Just wait for the schedule to be announced.
September 29th, 2012 at 8:35 PM ^
This comment is not needed, but whatever, keep being a douche.
September 30th, 2012 at 7:50 AM ^
Shhhh
September 29th, 2012 at 6:52 PM ^
I am not sure abc will give 2 teams with 2 or more losses each the 330 slot.
