MSU: Latest they'll wait to announce kick?
That said.. Does anyone know if there is a required timeframe to announce a kick? I'm looking to book travel and may fly back night of the game if possible, but if I keep waiting airfare will skyrocket soon.
Any thoughts on game time? Any insight into when they have to make a decision? (Or when to expect one?)

I answered...
The thousands who attend and much of the college football nation who watch on TV...lots of people care.
Sorry if that busts your bubble. But if you haven't noticed, it's a very popular show and part of college football Saturday.
...should've raised your hand.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Your daddy.

they had a hell of a time at Clemson yesterday. Just because something doesn't sound fun to you doesn't mean other people can't/don't enjoy it. Gameday being at UM/MSU would be great.

start a few years ago was a terrible drunken mess of an atmosphere. Sparty is just the wrong opponent for a night game.
October 4th, 2015 at 12:23 AM ^
What 5 pm start are you referring to?
October 4th, 2015 at 1:19 AM ^
Sigh.
A night game would be just like any other place...a hot mess. Not that big of a deal - just like everywhere else.

I'm actually curious about this because this isn't the first time I've seen this on here. I remember 2010 #17 vs 18 UM vs MSU and the streets of Ann Arbor were blackout city with drunk people. That was a 330 start though. What 5pm start don't I remember?
October 4th, 2015 at 1:06 AM ^
The latest start I can remember is from 2006. I believe that one kicked at 4:30

Penn State v Ohio State is scheduled for 8 pm on ABC or ESPN, M/MSU will not be a night game as Hackett said months ago. Also that night is USC at ND on NBC. ABC/ESPN is not going to put a 3rd Midwest game of interest on at the same time slot. Night game is out.
Its going to be Noon or 3:30
other B1G games that day
Iowa at NW --Noon
Purdue at Wisconsin-- Noon
Rutgers at Indiana 3:30
These games have time slots but no station as of now.
Michigan St at Michigan
Nebraska at Minnesota
These games have no time slot.
I guarantee you Rutgers/Indiana is not getting the 3:30 ABC slot, which means that game is getting the 3:30 BTN slot.
This leaves ABC the Minn/Neb or M/MSU game for 3:30 (unless they move potential unbeaten Iowa v potential unbeaten NW to 3:30)
Minn/Neb has severly less appeal as a national game right now, so ABC will choose Michigan/MSU for 3:30, unless they move the Iowa/NW game which I doubt

Good post.
Other big games that weekend are Florida @ LSU and Alabama @ TAMU. CBS will get theirs and then ESPN or ESPN2 will have the other opposite PSU-OSU.

Even without Harbaugh...when both teams are good, it's going to be a 3:30 game.
Probably get Gameday and Spielman and McDonough. Herbie joins Fowler in Columbus for the night game.

for the picking. I can only hope 1. Rutgers doesn't knock them off. 2. The voters keep them at #2 untill they get to AA. They can't get out of their own way... Please voters let UM knock them out of #2 then there will be no damn doubt that this peticular MSU team is OVER RATED ( the chant I am looking forward to scream) and barely making a case for the top 20...
October 4th, 2015 at 12:18 PM ^
Good God, No. Just, no. Everything about this is wrong.
1 - Rutgers defeating Staee is always a good thing. Just because.
2 - The "Overrated" chant is [B]awful[/B]. You are denigrating your own team when you tell the opposition they were overrated. "Ha, ha, you guys aren't that good. Even our lousy team can beat you!" There have got to be 100 better things to say. Hell, even "Little Sister" would be a better chant than this (and that's a terrible chant too).
Just off of the top of my head, here are a few. I'm sure there are other wordsmiths out there who can do better. But, [I]please[/I], no "Overrated."
Back to Normal
We've Got Harbaugh
Spartans Will Not

I really hope it's a 8pm game, the atmosphere would be insane!
October 4th, 2015 at 8:52 AM ^
Seriously, if they can hold the Iron Bowl at night, or if LSU-Bama can be at night, there is zero reason for a UM-MSU game to not be played at night.

Why?
October 4th, 2015 at 11:34 AM ^
a debate about what time the game starts... What I don't undrerstand is Why is it a problem what time the game goes off for someone flying in. You know what day to fly in. You get the earliest flight available and get your ass over here. Problem solved. So you have to wait for a late game? spend your day in lovely AA and enjoy yourself, till you get to the tailgate. If its early like 12:00, no sweat your flight gets in early. So whatever time the game goes off it don't matter get here early. and be loud and Go Blue!
October 4th, 2015 at 12:20 PM ^
The OP stated that he wanted to fly home after the game if possible. Some people would rather spend Sunday back at home rather than on a plane. Obviously, the chances of making a Saturday night flight are much better for a 12 PM kick than a 3:30 or 8 PM kick.
