Tonight might be Soccer Snow Bowl at U-M Soccer Stadium
Michigan hosts Princeton in the NCAA Tournament First Round tonight at 7pm.
For those of you not in SE Michigan, it has been snowing here all day and has been snowing almost every day this week. It will snow on Saturday for the Michigan Football game as well.
December has come early.
We could have something never seen before for Michigan Soccer. A heavy snow game.
Snow Bowl of Soccer
According to this tweet, Michigan is painting the lines blue tonight because of visibility.
This is what it was like a few hours ago. Painting the lines blue for tonight’s match. #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/F7N2YRhvCv

The game is on BTN2Go, right? Is that available to all cable subscribers?
I'm on the west side of the state. Otherwise, I'd love to watch a soccer game in the snow lol.
November 15th, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
It is. You just need a cable login and you can stream it online or on the app.
November 15th, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
Why would we care if it's available to Rutger fans?
November 15th, 2018 at 4:52 PM ^
Speaking of BTN and cable, I am hijacking this a bit to ask: does anyone know what the status of getting BTN out of footprint is for people that have Comcast? I am willing to pay, but it kills me not having BTN with hockey and basketball season starting... I know Comcast reinstated BTN in the footprint, but what about those out of footprint? Ugh.

i'm on the west coast and just use my parents xfinity login so i can use the BTN/Fox/ESPN apps through my roku player. broadcast HD channels in LA give me the local stations so i cut the cord years ago. find someone with an in market xfinity account and set up your roku.
November 15th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
I get the B1G channel on my roku and I live in Vermont. I get it through Hulu, which gets you ALL the college football, man. Life's a dream.
November 15th, 2018 at 7:17 PM ^
I get it in Colorado with the sports package.
November 15th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
BTN is back for Comcast in Georgia. Different channel number now. 1313
November 15th, 2018 at 4:08 PM ^
I am just fortunate that I finished mulching down my lawn / leaves right before it began to snow a few days ago. Otherwise, today in particular has been damp and miserable.
November 15th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
November 15th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Enough shovels and people and you've got that field take care of. Give the players a shovel if need be.
November 15th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
Can't play in that shit, and it was interesting to see Daley like a tweet about splitting the soccer season into spring and fall.
November 15th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
Yeah you can't play soccer in deep snow
November 15th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
How long can it take to have a MGOWeather update for Saturday!
November 15th, 2018 at 4:45 PM ^
NOAA is not calling for major snow on Saturday. Forecast is cloudy, with game-time temp at 36 degrees, 39% chance of precipitation which could be a rain/snow mix, winds at 7mph (no gusting).
November 15th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
Almost nobody cares. Snowflakes.
November 15th, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
Somebody got triggered. Maybe you should find a safe space until the game/weather are over.
November 15th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Well, it's not going to be as bad as this was, right?
November 15th, 2018 at 6:25 PM ^
Keep the shovels handy. Go USA! Boo Costa Rica!
November 15th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
Poor pass by the defense leads to a Princeton goal late in the 1st half. Princeton up, 1-0.
November 15th, 2018 at 8:05 PM ^
Not following them this season. How do Michigan and Princeton match up? Whose the favorite?
November 15th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
Michigan was #28 in RPI and Princeton was #59 in RPI, so Michigan is the favorite.
November 15th, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
Equalizer! Let's Go Blue!!!
November 15th, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
1-1!
November 15th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
Alright. keep the updates please.
November 15th, 2018 at 8:52 PM ^
Big corner here for Michigan with 7 minutes left.
November 15th, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
And another yellow card for Michigan. Princeton has double the fouls Michigan does, but Michigan has 6 yellow cards and Princeton has maybe 3?
November 15th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
I'd say we've earned our yellow cards. Lucky to escape another at the end of regulation. I think the Michigan player in that kerfuffle was already on a yellow, and the ref didn't want to eject him.
November 15th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
Going into overtime. Let's Go Blue!
November 15th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
