#2 Michigan (5-0, 8-0) at Michigan State (0-4, 2-5) Post Game
« on: October 16, 2023, 06:57:52 AM »
It's on NBC Saturday at 7:30 PM ET.  This rivalry game is usually nasty and I expect the same despite the disparity in records and the Mel Tucker melt down.  Let's not forget the tunnel incident at Michigan last year.  You can bet the players and fans haven't.  Surprised Michigan State agreed to play this game at night.  Sparty has lost four in a row and is looking for five with Michigan being favored by 23.

all teams are told what time they will kickoff by the networks, not just MSU

yup. the networks pick the kickoff times. 

as for the game, on paper Michigan *should* win comfortably given MSU is in shambles and without a head coach and Michigan is starting to hit their gear and have just been absolutely pummeling everyone they play- but this one is a nasty rivalry with bad blood on both sides- and anything can happen in those types of true rivalry games. 

Lot of people are writing Sparty off and acting like this is just another creampuff on Michigan's schedule, but I have a feeling this is going to be the toughest game Michigan has played to date and that it's going to be closer than people think. In a rivalry game like this throw out the records, just win. Don't care if you win by 1 point, just win.

That's not necessarily true.  For example, Michigan told the Big Ten and TV people that there will be no week night football games in Ann Arbor.

whatever

the Big Ten protects Michigan and Ohio St. from week night games

so far, Nebraska hasn't played a friday night game at home, just on the road

there's a pecking order and Michigan is near the top, but....... the networks own the conference

Even after expansion, this conference will still be the Big Two and Little Eighteen.

I dunno,Oregon/Washington coming in will have a say. USC had a setback but can't count them out - Bruins are a bit af a head scratcher. IMO Sparta will rise again as will PSU be in the mix. Hopefully the rest of you lumps will jump in the fray UW/UNL etc.,etc.,etc.

I don't necessarily disagree, but the Buckeyes did play @ Northwestern on a Friday in 2019.

The only one of the West Coast expansions that might crack the Big Two in their current form is Southern Cal. UCLA hasn't mattered since Troy Aikman, and when Phil dies the taps dry up at Oregon and they go back to obscurity. Washington? If and only if they win a natty.

Good take but when Phil kicks I'm sure he'll make some $$$ arrangements and by that time their footprint will be firmly established. Hell even the Bugeaters may rise again as long as the Cali kids can take west coast trips home. Sort of like when they were in the Big SWC with the Texas teams & recruited those kids

USC?? Nebraska???

it's not about wins and losses

and the powers that be, OSU, MU and the conference will do everything in their power to make sure OSU and MU get the advantages to remain the biggest winners

yes, the Huskers have played away on a Friday night, but not at home.
Michigan, Ohio St. will not play a friday or thursday game at home
