The B1G has announced times for all teams' homecoming games this season. Ours is 10/22 @ 3:30!

Interesting and probably good for us, we are not visitors for anyone elses homecoming.

BTW, 10/22 is a magic date. We will win!!!

Fine with me. Noon is far too early for football IMHO.

And Joe, you are right...10/22 in my wonderful wife's birthday!!!

Seems kind of odd to me but I guess I can understand their reasoning. TV ratings, plain and simple.

However with the rich tradition Michigan has a noon game would seem more appropriate. Money trumps tradition though. Coach Harbaugh may have been able to stop it but you need to pick your battles.

It's against Illinois which is in the Central Time zone so making it later could potentially bring in more viewers. Plus isn't Illinois supposed to be decent this year? A lot of viewers on the west coast. The amount of drunk fans it produces is another thing though.

I guess what I'm saying is that even though I'm not fond of the late kick (I was while in school though) I'm not necessarily against it. Apparently I was rambling to ramble....

Wasn't homecoming this past year a 3:30 game? I thought it was.

(edit) Last year's homecoming was indeed a 3:30 game.

Yea, I was shocked then too. I guess that I kinda figured with Coach Harbaugh it'd get pushed back to 12:00. Oh well, I was wrong. I guess it isn't all bad, I get to network longer with people I do not see that often. And the longer we have until kickoff the longer I have to fall into tickets....
