Michigan to Play Another Night Game in 2015
Take a stab at what conference road game will be at night now. If you guessed Minnesota, you are correct! Link
From the article:
The Golden Gophers will play four prime-time football games in 2015, including two at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium. ESPN will broadcast the Sept. 3 season opener against Texas Christian University in Minneapolis, Athletic Director Norwood Teague said Tuesday following a speech at an Association for Corporate Growth luncheon. ESPN or ABC will also broadcast the Oct. 31 game against Michigan at TCF Bank Stadium, as well as the Nov. 7 game at Ohio State.
October 31st in Minnesota? At night? Might as well play in Antarctica.
That was my first thought, too. I was at the late afternoon game in the Big House in 1986 where Minnesota upset Harbaugh in the cold. It sucked. I will never get it out of my memory. Minnesota must think the cold will give them an edge this year, too.
But it won't...
He is still on my all hate team.
Ugh, that game. It was my last home game as a student (finishing law school that year). Watching us lose the jug was seared into my brain.
I had forgotten that Harbaugh was still on the team that year.
FUCK. THAT. GAME.

I guess Minnesota!
What do I win!?
Some fresh Eucalyptus
Yes . . . closer
A snow shovel for your seat at the game. If your going.
Appalachian State?

I'm guessing all the conference road games will be on the road! Check your wording, OP.
Fixed
Why would you play a game on a road? Asked the Ohio State fan.
Is this for sure a night game?

Not only that, but it makes life a little interesting for those of us with kids who will undoubtedly want to have a nice, leisurely Halloween since it is on Saturday as opposed to the hurried ones we seem to have when it is a school night. Well, most communities shut it down before 8 PM, but it makes pregaming a pain. Even at that, I will likely have to be in a place where I have access to the first quarter or so somehow, I suppose, or can at least get decent service and use BTN2Go.
At least you live on the east coast. For those of us in the western half of the country the game is going to be going on during prime trick-or-treating time.
I was guessing Utah, MD, Minny, and PSU a week or so ago. Minny on Halloween for the Little Brown Jug. If we add BYU or MSU, that will be 5 night games.
"This is why there is some doubt as to whether or not Michigan will host a night game this year." Rivals mods are hearing from the Michigan administration that MSU is being ruled out and most likely no night game at all was the indication. Leaving just Oregon St, BYU, UNLV, NW, and Rutgers. The AD has also ruled out Oregon St.
Edit: Michigan interim athletic director Jim Hackett said earlier this winter that he expected to have a home night football game next season, but when asked recently if there was a chance the team won't have a night game on this year's schedule, Hackett opted against giving a firm answer.

Michigan and Ohio State = money in the bank. They're the reason for this, not really Minnesota.
but night time is normally when I touch myself.

Complete with a boat load of shame.
Then lets watch it together?
he would have made our arms shorter.

I miss that dude...RIP Mr. Carlin.
night games a team can appear in each season? Every away game could become a night game for us, which I wouldn't think would be to our advantage.
This headline was a little deceptive - I assumed it meant a home night game.
Interesting that ESPN is picking up the Minnesota/TCU game on September 3rd. I'm guessing that Michigan vs. Utah will be relegated to Fox Sports 1?
Michigan Vs Utah will might be on Pac 12 network.
Are for Purdue, Indiana and Rutgers.
