While the October 30th Michigan – Michigan State showdown has a chance of being a top 10 matchup (Michigan has to beat Northwestern this week), several MSU fans are upset about the announced noon kickoff in East Lansing:
Surprised no one seems to be complaining about Michigan/MSU kicking off at noon Oct. 30 (kidding). That being said…it’s a joke. Should be a night game, a showcase. Embarrassing the Big Ten/these schools don’t seem to get that. Awful

This MSU Michigan game being at noon should be a war crime

Look FOX can try and “reimagine” the noon kickoff but it’s well established that it’s for Illinois at Purdue or Indiana at Northwestern.
Not a top 10 rivalry showdown of 7-0 vs 7-0
Michigan at MSU isn’t getting the proper billing it deserves.

As usual Michigan gets their way

ABC had first pick of the games and selected the Penn State vs. Ohio State game (night game) while FOX got the MSU – Michigan game.
