DB: We'll host an ANNUAL night game

http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2013/09/dave_brandon_michigan_football_3.html

In these odd-numbered years, I'd personally bank on Nebraska.

On the even-numbered years, I'd personally bank on Penn State.

Granted, those two assertions are based on the way our schedule is currently setup. Don't quote me that going forward when we move to more conference games and everything gets shaken up.

Bullet points:

*Next year's home schedule may be the worst home schedule in the history of the program.  The only game that could be a night game is Penn State.  

*In two years, Wisconsin is finally back on the schedule and they're coming to Ann Arbor.  With Notre Dame gone, and Nebraska not on the schedule for a while, that is my guess for the 2015 night game.  

*With the dreadful additions of Maryland and Rutgers to the B1G, the balance of all schedules is off for a year.  That's why we have the pleasure of traveling to East Lansing two years in a row.  Guess which conference team we have at home two years in a row?  Minnesota.  SCORE!

*MSU and OSU games should never be night games.  That I agree with.

Don't know why Brandon is even mentioning Nebraska for a possible night game, They're not even on the schedule thru 2017. Are the schedules out for after 2017? I can't find any.

Minny isn't even in our division next year. We were screwed...

2014: Penn State,      Would some dare put App. St. as a night game, hell I hope not.

2015: 1) Northwestern 2)BYU,    MSU & OSU of course no, Rutgers in nov.- no, UNLV-no, Oregon St could be a 2nd choice, B1G vs PAC12.

2016: Wisconsin,  Penn St again, probably not, Colorado-possible, depending on how they finish in 15',

2017: Most likely a NC game, B1G home schedule, MSU, OSU, Rutgers, Minn.

2018: Arkansas

Without looking at anything other than your post I'd venture to guess IF one night game happens per year (yes I known AD Brandon said there would be but don't count on it unless it's special) 2014 Penn State, 2015 would be NW, 2016 gotta be Wisc., 2017 NC games aren't listed yet but this may be a year of no night game, and 2018 Arkansas (no brainer).

So yes I agree with you booboo.

If TV dictates it, there will be a night game.
