Michigan to play Nebraska at 3:30pm....
October 28th, 2013 at 2:59 PM ^
Wonderful. I am simply stating when the last time was that Michigan had a later game in November at Michigan Stadium.
October 28th, 2013 at 4:22 PM ^
Bando is correct. The students can never fill the student section for noon games, so 3:30 is a little better.
October 28th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
Well, they don't exactly fill the section for the 3:30 games either but it's better.
3:30 games these days means about 60% of the students will show up instead of the 30% that would show up for a noon start.

If this board's goal is to complain about everything, mission accomplished.
October 28th, 2013 at 2:40 PM ^
we have lights. We have no more excuses to play late games in November
October 28th, 2013 at 3:11 PM ^
Any announcement as to whether ESPN or the Big10 network will be carrying the game?
October 28th, 2013 at 3:13 PM ^
is covering the game
October 28th, 2013 at 3:19 PM ^
Love 3:30 games. I can BS around in the morning, get stuff done, watch the game, then go out.

I will be making the trip to make a campus visit at about nine that morning... This allows me to complete the tour and have time to enjoy tailgating and the gameday experience. My excitement cannot be contained at this point. First time I've been to AA since 2009.

The amount of student tickets on craislist for this game is staggering...heck the amount of student tickets for the ohio game on CL is staggering.
We need to win out til ohio, or I have a very bad feeling we are going to be outnumbered in our stadium ala 2009.
Also, if anyone has some relatively cheap tickets they would be willing to sell to the 'braska game please let me know!

Doesn't help that the Ohio game is Thanksgiving weekend. I know plenty of students that are going home that aren't coming back.
October 28th, 2013 at 7:09 PM ^
It is a Big Ten rule that you can't have more then two noon games. Ohio State will be at noon and Akron was also. That is the rule set in stone. Why does this come up every flipin' time?

Source?

Bill told Jim, who told Julie, who told Bob, who told Ann, who told Teddy, who saw it on the internet from a guy who is in the Big Ten time mangement department.
Or
I just made it up. Sorry

These 1530 games have been rough on me...that is like 2330 (where I am) kickoff and I have to get up to head to work at 0500...that is usually only about 2.5 hours after the game ends. I randomly wake up in the night to check the score. Indiana score-fest was a rough night. Noon kickoffs work just fine for me.
Go Blue! Beat MSU.

Where I work, everyone has their 3x5 nylon flags hanging up in support of their teams. Florida, Oklahoma, YTUSC, NNTUSC, Texas, Northern Colorado(!), 2 tOSU flags, including my Commander who sometimes wears his buckeye flag as a cape. My Superintendant has a Nebraska flag. There is another officer here who is a MSU grad. He sports an upside down split M instead of an MSU flag. Typical. I brought my silk Michigan flag, and it is by far the nicest flag in here.
REPRESENT.

The last game to start at 3:30 after DST ended was the 1988 game vs. Illinois
November 12, 1988
It was for the Big 10 Championship, becasue OSU was out of it at the time.
