Michigan to play first night game at Big House

Post by KeyWestParrot »

Announced today that Michigan will play Notre Dame next year in the first night game ever to be held at the Big House.

I still wonder why Ohio State and Michigan didn't install permanent lights when they refurbished their stadiums since they both play late afternoon games in the fall and need lights by the finish of the game. Must have been a money issue.

No, that's not the issue...if they spend money on lights, they won't have enough to pay the players.

Their players are afraid of the dark.


Anyway, I wonder who will be coaching Michigan by the time the game gets played.

Who cares??? This is a game between two teams that mean nothing to the modern college football landscape!

Ohio State doesn't do night games because their fans push the envelope when it comes to drinking alcohol.

Night games at OSU? How can you tell with all the dumpsters burning, and all those tailgate fans who are very much "lit-up." ;-)

Ohio State has no reason to install lights. When they do have night games the TV network pays for the rental of the lights.
