Michigan @ Iowa Friday Night
It appears as if Michigan will travel to Kinnick Stadium to take on Iowa on Friday night. That is, of course, provided Michigan can play; however, it looks like a done deal. https://twitter.com/Balas_Wolverine/status/1338172075878608899

We’ve done well with night games at Kinnick, i feel good about this! :s
December 13th, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
Dan Villari time!!! Shock the world.
December 13th, 2020 at 2:40 PM ^
Why Not!
December 13th, 2020 at 1:07 PM ^
Why would Iowa, ranked 2nd in the west, be playing Michigan, ranked second to last in the East? There’s no way this is actually our game this week.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
Apparently so that Indiana and Purdue can match up for their battle over the Old Oaken Bucket.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:13 PM ^
The Big Ten never said that they would go by the standings to create the other 6 matchups on championship weekend. Everybody just jumped to the conclusion that it would happen that way.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:20 PM ^
Would it matter if they had said? They don’t follow their own rules.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
Wow - the 2nd hottest team in the B1G, with pink visiting locker rooms, against a team in full health/pandemic/cultural meltdown. What could possibly go wrong?
December 13th, 2020 at 7:31 PM ^
Our team is probably pretty comfortable in a pink locker room. It's the field that makes them anxious.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
Huh???
6th place east vs 2nd place west......
December 13th, 2020 at 1:10 PM ^
Didn’t Michigan say they’d never play on Fridays when that deal initially became a thing?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:20 PM ^
I think UM has pretty much lost interest in football. The sooner they have the game, the sooner it's over.
December 13th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
It’s an away game and there’s no other way to interpret this game as a giant fuck you from the league office to UofM. Perhaps, they’re pissed we covidded the cash cow game against OSU.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:10 PM ^
Most recent Michigan victory in Iowa City was 2005, so we got this.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:10 PM ^
Since we are probably the weakest team in the conference, does it really matter who we play???
December 13th, 2020 at 1:20 PM ^
"weakest team in the conference" is a) stupid on its face and b) makes me wonder why you're even here, either as a (supposed) michigan fan or on this message board. you sound like a miserable, unpleasant SOB, and i hope i never have the displeasure of sitting near you at a game.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:22 PM ^
We’re debatably the worst team in the East. Thank god Schiano played for a field goal instead of trying to score.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
Well we are 2nd to last in the East technically only because MSU played one more game...so. And Illinois and Nebraska probably give this team all they can handle. So he's not really wrong.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:33 PM ^
I feel your pain sir, your anger runs deep. I hope things in your life improve for you
December 13th, 2020 at 2:03 PM ^
Matty Blue, open your eyes brother...
December 13th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Maybe not weakest team in the conference overall, but Michigan is very close to the bottom in most defensive categories.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:11 PM ^
This is terrible news
December 13th, 2020 at 1:19 PM ^
losing is losing, does it matter who we play?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
Do not want.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
Should be interesting, as far as dick slammings go...
December 13th, 2020 at 1:13 PM ^
I like it.
Also, I'm glad that game will mark the end of the season so we (hopefully) soon find out who will be coaching the football team next season.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:18 PM ^
honestly? this sounds like a lot of fun. not even kidding.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:18 PM ^
Meh, isn't football season over yet.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:19 PM ^
One more big "EFF YOU!" from the B1G. Really, let's join the Pac 12.
December 13th, 2020 at 9:54 PM ^
Your comment summarizes the state of our program, fans expectations, and how far off we are from actually competing . Apparently the “winningest program of all time” and “leaders and the best” got screwed by the Big10 because we have to play fricken Iowa....
December 13th, 2020 at 10:32 PM ^
PAC 12 is certainly a weaker conference but what the hell makes you think we’d win there. We can’t beat Mel Tucker.
December 14th, 2020 at 1:25 AM ^
Champions of the west... Has a nice ring to it.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:19 PM ^
Is this the first season ever that we went winless at the Big House?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:31 PM ^
Unequivocally, yes
December 13th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
If no one is allowed to attend, can it really be considered a "home" game?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:23 PM ^
Big Ten screws Michigan again. Like I said refuse to play. What can the conference do?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
Screws us by scheduling us a game to play? Did the Big Ten screw us for scheduling this whole season? Did the Big Ten cause us to play terrible this year too? Jesus, stop the whining.
I do not understand why so many in this fanbase expect the Big Ten to kiss Michigan's ass when they've done NOTHING on the big stage in years to elevate the Big Ten's perception.
December 13th, 2020 at 3:13 PM ^
To quote yourself...
Neither, you're being intentionally obtuse.
I guess done enough for B10 to put in the #1 TV slot in conference for this set of games.
December 13th, 2020 at 9:52 PM ^
Why are we so soft
December 13th, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
In the spirit of describing things in three words. Why the hell?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:40 PM ^
Fuck the B10
December 13th, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
Well if it’s Friday the 21 days definitely wouldn’t be up right?
December 13th, 2020 at 1:31 PM ^
I missed watching football this weekend. I hope they can play the game, and I'll root for them. I'm shocked by how many Michigan football fans hate watching Michigan football. I am disappointed often, but I still like it or I'd take up another hobby like brewing or bonsai. Go blue!
December 13th, 2020 at 1:59 PM ^
You like watching a bad team play scared and get massacred?
More power to you, I guess...
December 13th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
Losing sucks and I hate it but if I felt it was leading to something I could endure it. What really sucks is watching a team that looks like they couldn’t possibly care less.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:32 PM ^
What’s the logic here? Like seriously. Iowa hasn’t played Maryland or Rutgers or Indiana all of whom are ahead of us.
December 13th, 2020 at 1:52 PM ^
The best I can come up with is “Sudoku.”
Seriously, now we’re going to complain about which titan from the vaunted West division we are facing? (Coach-less Illini would be preferable I agree.)
December 13th, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
The logic is 1) ratings and 2) improve Iowa's bowl position.
