I'm all for that. I was not a fan of the later starting time at all....had to stay up until 4 a.m. over here. Regardless, I'll always prefer the noon start time.

This really gets my goat. Take away the fumbles and interception (the only forced error) and the Buckeye's completely dominated the game... Michigan's last score came against a prevent defense, determined to trade off yardage for time. Much the same holds true for the 05 game too.

Not to mention that both PI calls that led to Michigan TDs were pure bull[censored]...

Glad you and I saw the same game.

I'm all for tradition and everything but last years game starting around 4:00 and ending under the lights was amazing. Watching all the flashbulbs go off with a minute to go on the last drive to ice it, rushing the field under the lights, singing Carmen Ohio in that huge crowd - thats memories I'll never forget.

Game Twelve: Ohio State at Michigan (Nov 17th)

(Sorry if there is already a thread but I couldn't find one - and it is never too early to talk about this one.)


Just wanted to make a comment about schedules.

I have noticed the past few years that Michigan has set themselves up nicely for the OSU game. The past four seasons they have played either Indiana or Northwestern the week before the OSU game. Last year the THREE games leading up to OSU were Northwestern, Ball St and Indiana.

That gives lots of time to put things in place. Well, not this year.

Week 10 they are at MSU and week 11 at Wisconsin. Can't imagine looking past either of those.

Of course, given the results for Michigan lately, perhaps this is a good thing for them. I might even prefer they have a bye week before our game just so that pressure can build.
