Any leaks/news as to UMich kick time?
- Thread starter RTRMR
- Start date
When you hear from him, please tell me what he doesn’t know.
It all depends on what time the lots open.
Doubtful considering FOX is putting the big game of the day on at noon each Saturday now. Stupid, I agree. Possible its at night, I sure hope so, but doubtful thanks to FOX thinking this will drive up ratings of their pre game show to contend with GameDay
Michigan v Wisconsin this week, noon. Game of the day. Key is to look at any other B1G, Pac12 or Big12 games they could put on as game of the day on that Saturday. Yes, they've said they will make a PAC12 team play at 9-10am to make this work.
Other games of note
Big10
Purdue v Iowa already scheduled for noon (not bigger than MichPSU)
Ohio St v Northwestern Friday night
Big12
NONE
Pac12
Arizona St at Utah both ranked, cmon though
Oregon at Washington could be biggest pac 12 game of year, making them play at 9am seems insane, not to mention not as big ratings wise as MichPSU even if both have a couple losses

Maryland Maryland Maryland Maryland!!!! PSU football needs to win at Maryland or your time slot doesn’t matter as much
You don't know that Fox has the game. The only leak thus far suggests that Fox has the Big 12 that weekend, meaning we're almost certainly ABC Primetime. Just some guy on Twitter who lists broadcast windows so nothing confirmed but certainly not a slam dunk for noon like you suggest
I didnt say it was a slam dunk, just likely. Basically, a slam dunk based on the information I posted if FOX has the game. I hope FOX doesnt and hope I'm wrong even if they do. Who wouldnt want a night game in HV to punish those clowns? I think its BS if we dont get it.
Glancing back at our schedule, October is our make or break month. IA, UM, MSU. 3 games either team could win. 2 of them away games for us. Nov. has OSU and bottom feeders for the most part. Our Bowl projection could will have a lot of clarity by 11/1.
I can think of 2 people who wouldn’t want a night game ... & who might have influence
Jim Harbaugh and Jim Delany
First game back since 2014. Will be deeply disappointed if it’s not a night game. I already bought something white.

White Out's are usually for our biggest game (i.e. toughest opponent) so the record isn't that amazing. Maryland is unlikely to see a White Out at the Beav (in the next 10 years anyway), so they better enjoy the White Out of Byrd.
I believe it has already been announced a whiteout game, just not the time. He will be fine with either
12pm showing on my coworker's ticket on NLC. My ticket still says TBA. Anyone seeing anything on the site?
There won't be any kickoff announcement until at least October 2. Any listing seen prior to that is a default time or a guess
I'd venture to say if we lose 2 out of the next 3 and Michigan loses 2 out of the next 4 it will be a noon game. And both are possible looking at our schedules. It's funny that the ESPN app has us with a 67% chance of winning the game though.
I asked Narducci if we should plan on a 7 start, he said let's make it 3.
