Wisconsin a night game?

Submitted by Bando Calrissian on

Hearing rumblings in the parking lot at the stadium that the attendants are being told to expect Wisconsin to be a night game. Was this anticipated? My impression was that it was just PSU.

As someone who isn't a morning person and never will be, I prefer 3:30 PM and the odd night game myself. I kind of like having my day, or at least part of it too. Trying to get to the stadium straight from bed on Saturday just isn't appealing although I do it every season, just not without impressive amounts of coffee.

If we win out up until that game, I expect it to be a night game. And very likely where ESPN will be heading for Gameday. Wisconsin will probably be top-5, and we’d probably be somewhere between 10-15.

As for PSU @ U-M ...... ABC has already "claimed" the Notre Dame @ Northwestern game on November 3.  I have no idea if ND will remain top-ranked, but if they do, ABC has a history of putting Top 10 ND teams into their prime time spot.

FOX has a couple decent Pac-12 (Stanford @ Washington) and Big XII (Oklahoma @ Texas Tech) games available to them for a November 3 prime-time game.

Time will tell.  But right now, I'd put the odds at under 50% on PSU @ U-M being a prime-time game.  Wisky @ U-M at night seems more likely.

Remember when everyone here begged for a night game and got their wish against msu in 2017.

And then everyone complained about the loss because of the rain.

Remember that that the weather was perfect all day.  

But hey, that night game atmosphere had the team really hyped!
