Has anything leaked about the start time for Ohio State? I know they were going to wait an extra day to announce, has anything been decided on the start time for the Senior day game.
 

Six-day window, so we'll find out Sunday at the latest, but possibly tomorrow night.
 



I'm gonna go ahead and say 2:30. On our ESPN team page it lists TBD for game time, but shows us as "ABC/ESPN"
 


Sounds a lot like 2:30 from what I heard after the game also. That what be great for us that travel in from Greater MN.
 

Please be the 2:30 ABC game, pretty please. I want to have a game that finishes under the lights.
 

Nebraska/Wisconsin seems more attractive unfortunately. That's gotta be a pick 'em. Unless Ohio State is that big of a draw over them.
 







Partying angle aside, this is probably a better start time for us. The colder, the better.

Why would colder weather benefit Minnesota over Ohio State?

Regardless, I despise these 11AM starts. They seemed to be fading away the last couple of years (more night games, even a few 1PM games), especially for the BTN games vs. lesser teams early in the year, but this year the 11AM starts returned with a vengeance.
 


ABC national game I would guess. I don't get it. Top in the East vs. tied for top in the West team. Two big TV Markets. I know there will be lots of complaining, can't do anything about it. Next week fans, show up early and be loud.
 

An interdivision game vs a game between 2 of the 3 teams tied for 1st place.

They're not going to make it easy on us, building this thing, are they? We just have to keep piling up the bricks...that's all. Our time to shine will yet come.

Very proud of our fans who braved the cold & wind yesterday at TCF. Most impressive on TV, down here in FL. Gonna need that same resolve next weekend for our home finale. OSU may be tough, but in the cold, the wind, perhaps snow? We can beat 'em as they look past us to playoff time.
 

Nebraska Wisky gets the 2:30 slot. Unfortunately, it makes sense. A lot of good Football
 

I can't get too upset over this. The Wisconsin/Nebraska game will probably decide the West and Ohio State is likely to be a double digit favorite over us. At least we're still a national ABC game.

What the hell Jaymil? That's a way to rational explanation.

Tempted to ask the Mods to delete it.. ;)
 


Quick question for those who may know: Does the school have any input on setting the game time? I haven't been this hyped for a game since... well last week, but can you imagine the atmosphere if we were playing a Top 25 matchup, under the lights and in the snow with a full house? It's a shame our students will be too hungover to get in the stadium for kickoff, doesn't feel nearly the same.

All the B1G night games are set before the season. Otherwise it's pretty much all TV networks from what I gather.
